    Brisket Bánh mì
    Chris S.

    Starting with the most important part: the food at Gil's was amazing! Overall the service was very slow (but to be fair it was absolutely slammed for a Thursday night and there was only one person running the register and running food out). Of all the food that we got, the brisket Bánh mì was my favorite with the rice bowl coming as a close second. Lots of flavors and components going in to them, and for a very very reasonable price. It is very refreshing in today's market to see a business hiking up their prices significantly. Most of the items were between $12-14 with a variety of options. While Gils does have some vegetarian options, none of the sandwiches are vegetarian which is a bit of a bummer. They have a decent selection of drinks on tap with some local and some standard commercial beverages. Atmosphere is a nice, outdoorsy, sitting at the table with friends having a drink on a summer day type of energy. It took a fairly long time to get our food, but as I mentioned it's a small kitchen and staff and there was constantly a line of 5-6 people ordering. With that being said, they did a good job considering and on a nice day I don't mind the wait.

    Patio area
    Amanda M.

    I loved this little bar. While we were in Ashland, my husband and I went to Gil's two days in a row. The indoors is tiny, but there's a lovely patio with fire pits outside. The bartenders were awesome and their recommendations were top notch. They had a really fantastic berry cider on tap that I loved. We'll be back next time we're in town!

    Pork bowl
    Krystina W.

    This was my first local spot I tried in Oregon this year (coming from California) and it was all the feels of being somewhere different. The service was great, the outside tables were great for a summer evening, and the food was delicious. I got the pork bowl and it was so filling. Looks smaller than you think but I couldn't even finish it despite the simple yet tasty flavor. It was a perfect match with chips and guac on the side as well. Highly recommend.

    Came in here for a quick beer& an app. This is lively little place with tons of the beers. The bartender & server were great! Got our jalapeño poppers quickly. They were very delicious hot.W/ ranch. Check it out if you're in the area I

    The Grinder
    B A.

    My husband is obsessed with their Grinder! Packed full of flavor and the bread is perfect. I had their chicken Caesar salad, and it was good (not great), but would have preferred sliced chicken breast to the wet shredded. We will definitely be coming back next trip to Ashland. The service is top notch and their patio heaters and fire pits are the perfect touch.

    Cubano!with hint of curry
    Craig G.

    With San Diego based Reggae bands adorning the welcoming Patio with melodic rhythms... and a cool mint and cucumber seltzer to take the edge off the warm late summer afternoon, we settled in for a big ol lunch having just returned from a brilliant Crater Lake excursion. Bae runs up the street to get a bag of chips and returns just in time for the sandwiches to arrive. We got the brisket ban Mi and cubano to split and share. Bitting into that cubano I tasted a hint of curry. I liked the crunchy bread the savory cheese melting into the slab of ham. Well I was certain my cubano was vastly superior to the Ban Mi. I was mistaken! Happily! The Ban Mi had Au jus that was a stand in for pho broth. This was pretty interesting when taking a bit of the sandwich and dunking it into the broth like a roast Beef sandwich. The slightly over thick bread began to melt and assume a less prominent position on the palette letting the carrots cilantro radishes and onion provide the CRUNCH factor. Everyone said these samis are the best in Ashland. Who am I to argue! Assuming this is a new vacation destination somewhere in the future, I will definitely do my AhhhNold imitation from Terminator... "I'll Be Back!"

    Brisket Banh Mi with Pho Dip
    Barbara H.

    The Brisket Banh Mi with Pho Dip was incredible! After living in los angels & Las Vegas, I couldn't find a banh Mi sandwich that could compare, but I found it at Gil's! The brisket was incredibly juicy & savory & The baguette was crisp. The Pho Dip was a nice touch. I definitely will be back again for this sandwich. The restaurant itself was cute, super dog friendly & there's fire places outside. Staff was friendly & attentive. 5 Stars Oh & don't forget to get an Apple Outlaw Cider!

    Super cool tractor glass

    Best wings in the valley and a lot of great beers. This spot is more of a local hangout than some of the more popular, main-drag spots.

    SO happy we chose this spot! Service is stupendous:…read morefriendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, fun. The Kare-Kare is amazing: the peanut sauce was delectable, and the braised beef just seemed to melt away. Love the green mango salad. Julienne cut mango, perfectly ripened for the dressing for a not-too-sweet blend of flavorings. Perfect. Can accommodate gluten-free. I'll be back again very soon.

    Should you eat here? My recommendation is:…read more Yes, if you've stopped by every "New American" eatery in Ashland and want to relive your youthful visit to the Philippines and can't find any other place. No, if you're expecting perfect execution of the classics. Half of what you'd eat here, is more along the lines of "Pinoy-inspired". If you go here, be aware: - There is no fish sauce on the table - There is no vinegar chili sauce on the table - There is no salt on the table - A lot of the dishes here are missing many, many traditional ingredients. Many of which can be pre-stocked ahead of time or grown locally, so there shouldn't be a good reason why these dishes shouldn't have at least 50% of the base requirements. Adobo Chicken Seasoned and fairly traditional tasing with a good bit of seasoning and flavor. IMO lacking some tanginess, but that's a family style preference and can change from place to place. Green Mango Salad Has all the ingredients of a green mango salad but lacks the most important ingredient; shrimp paste and a pinch of salt. Kare-Kare Avoid this dish. I ordered this because one of the first photos showed shank bones (shank or flank is used as an acceptable replacement for what is traditionally Ox tail), so I was fully expecting something of that nature, especially considering shank is plentiful in this area. The meat added was very dry slices. The base lacked salt and fat during the cooking process, so it came out very bland. The string beans were boiled (again without any salt). String beans in this dish are traditionally served fresh, or if you cook them, you cook them in the broth, and/or pre cook them with some type of sodium on a pan and thrown into the pot. And because the base lacked fat that would have come from shank or ox tails, the base really suffered. Another missing ingredient was shrimp paste, and braised eggplant. Very disappointing. Sinigang Don't order this. This dish tased like water with a little bit of tamarind powder. This dish is missing so many ingredients: Taro root, okra, chili, fish sauce, fresh tamarind, water spinach. Powder is fine but it's missing so much that makes this dish unique and flavorful. Also note that this place is on the pricier side, so not getting the basics right hurt a little more than just the wallet.
