    We were leaving Wrightwood and wanted to grab breakfast before heading back to Orange County. A quick Yelp search led us to this local spot in the town of Phelan, a town I honestly had never even heard of before! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is spotless! Everything was sparkling clean, including the restroom. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive, and the food came out fresh and delicious. If you ever find yourself passing through this town, do yourself a favor and stop here for breakfast. It's a hidden gem worth checking out!

    Bacon avocado burger with curly fries
    Janet E.

    Tried out this place for lunch for the 1st time. It was just okay to be honest. I got a burger and it a decent size but it lacked flavor. Just tasted like a burger you could have made at home. I got the curly fries which were really tasty but i wasn't told they were going to be an up charge. My husband ordered the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings, unfortunately we paid an up charge of 1.99 and we got 5 mini onion rings. We didn't think it was worth it so we sent them back & asked for regular fires instead. He never sends back food so i was shocked. Our server was a young kid who was nice but i must say he needs to learn how to talk appropriately in the customer service field. Bro is not a thing to say to my husband.

    Green chile chilaquiles. Spicy and very tasty.
    David H.

    Gave it a shot and we weren't disappointed. We ordered a small bowl of menudo which was more than enough. Comes with 3 corn tortillas or flour if you prefer. Also enjoyed the chilaquiles in green sauce. Nice kick. Egg well cooked and the beans are great. Spanish rice is standard, but good. Overall, I have no problem recommending Gisselle's for a good meal, nice family feel and good service.

    While visiting family in Phelan we stopped by to try a new local spot that was recommended. As soon as we walked through the front door, it felt very welcoming and pleasant. The staff and owner were very friendly and attentive, making sure we enjoyed our experience. The food came out hot and freshed and every night was delicious. The cafe is very family friendly and you people from different backgrounds and cultures coming together for some delicious food. This is our new go to spot for breakfast when in the high desert. Now got to try out their other foods... Lunch trip in the near future...

    Just had lunch here today with my partner & our 3 kids after visiting the animal sanctuary. We started with mozzarella sticks, side salad, and biscuit with gravy. For mains, we had chicken fried chicken, Philly cheese steak, BLT with avocado, and kids Mac n cheese. And dessert... ice cream!! Everything was so good, and served fast! Bonus points for the cleanliness of the bathrooms too. Ray, thank you for being so friendly & making us feel welcome!

    Chilaquiles plate
    Cecilia M.

    It was our first time here and it wont be our last. I had the Chilaquiles plate and it was delicious. My husband had the breakfast chicken skillet with biscuits n gravy dish, yum! The service was amazing, Ray and his son made the visit more welcoming and enjoyable. The ambiance is adorable, they did a great job with the decorations and it was comfortable. We will be back to try several other dishes, so if you are looking for a great place to eat you must try Gisselle's.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch with my family after exploring a nearby (sort of near kind of a 10min…read moredrive still) farm. It was a challenge getting into the lot from the west side because of incoming cars going super fast but luckily there's plenty of space to pull into and park since the whole lot was huge. There's no lines dividing the cars so we parked with other cars to line ourselves up. The place looks quite small, but super adorable and I feel such at home, super welcoming staff and the decorations and fall color scheme really pops your eyes to want to touch everything (but you shouldn't)! We were a large group of 8 and luckily they had a large table for us all, the staff were super nice. Christina and her son were always super helpful and attentive, it got really busy during lunch hour and they always made sure we got everything. We ordered a few dishes to share because we had breakfast not long ago, we got the fried chicken dinner, club sandwiches, and pasta with meat sauce. I enjoyed the fried chicken, super crispy, juicy and tender meat, the flavor is wonderful and not too salty. Also me and my dad appreciated the sautéed fresh vegetables instead of mushy steamed ones most places have! Shoestring fires were great I love the thin fries better! I think the dinner rolls were super soft, chewy, and fluffy, goes so well with their yellow butter. Pasta was delicious, super herby and you can tell they used plenty of vegetables and ground meat to make it hearty! The place was such a gem, I felt like we didn't get much time to enjoy everything since it was supposed to be a quick lunch! Definitely would recommend and will come back when we are in the area. Restrooms were available to customers and clean!

I'll admit, the initial smell reminded me a little of an old Las Vegas casino, but don't let that fool you. This is the only true sit-down restaurant in town, and if you're looking for a romantic dinner, this is the spot. We arrived right at opening, and the bar already had regulars enjoying their evening. We were seated in the main dining room, where it was just us, and another party of four. Kara, who greeted us, was bubbly, personable, and welcoming. Our server, Alicia, was equally wonderful. Both ladies were knowledgeable about the menu, quick with recommendations, and incredibly attentive. They had that sixth sense of knowing what we needed before we even had to ask. We ordered a nice variety to share: the tempura, seasonal fire-roasted artichoke, fried zucchini and squash, spinach salad, Malaysian shrimp, Pacific cod fish & chips, and the top sirloin steak. Honestly, we walked in with zero expectations, but this small-town steakhouse really delivered. The food was delicious, but the service stood out as truly top notch. Kara and Alicia made the experience memorable, and for that reason alone, we'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

I have…read morebeen here since the late 1970s and throughout the years have seen different menu changes, but the building has stayed relatively the same. My children like this place, my wife likes this place and obviously lots of other people do. My wife and I shared the poutine, and we had some chicken wings as an appetizer. She likes Guinness draft there and I had Sour Monkey Triple draft. The poutine was good and it was the first time my wife had tried it--she loved it. I thought there could have been a little bit more of the cheese curd, it was fried, but I know every place makes theirs a little different. The atmosphere is great; it reminds you of a cabin on the inside and of course you're in Wrightwood CA so it's a perfect mountain hangout. The tables are clean, the area swept up and a very inviting indoor environment as outdoor environment. This is a rustic environment, so don't expect four-star accommodation. Again, as I said, it is perfect for this area, and I would expect nothing less. The service was great, we had two or three different servers, and they were always polite, knew their menu well, and offered upgrades. Had a great conversation with this server and he had been coming up there for years himself before working there. His daughter and wife were outside, and he would periodically chat with them which made us feel like it was a great family environment. The menu is varied and they have some excellent hamburgers; I have had the patty melt in the past. There is something about being 5000 feet above sea level, having a cold drink, and hot food; it's amazing. If you happen to be up in the Wrightwood area stop by at this place you will not regret it the food is hot and tasty, the beer is cold and the service and ambience is excellent,
