Food was good, ambiance was rustic and warming, but the service from Cora was absolutely incredible. Cora greeted me as I walked in, sat me immediately, very quick to bring drinks and menus, and my coffee and water were never empty before she was ready with a refill! Highly recommended for breakfast, still need to sample lunch and dinner options. read more

9/26/26: wanted a delicious breakfast and Gilbert House did not disappoint again. Adult Drinks: steamy orchard kiss & apple pie a la jar -- both excellent, though the steamy was my favorite. Food: The caramel apple cinnamon roll was to die for. Tip: dip it in your steamy orchard kiss for an added bonus. :-) We enjoyed the smoky pepper eggs benedict & bison scramble. My only disappointments regarding the scramble was that I failed to read the menu fully & forgot to ask for no peppers. Plus, the hashbrowns were a bit too crispy; so much so that they felt dry & brittle. Though the meals were not as good as our first-visit meals, we would still highly recommend Gilbert House. Next time I plan to try their lunch menu! read more

This isn't my first time here, and I've always enjoyed their food. My usual go-to is the French toast breakfast, but this time I decided to try the burger and substituted the beef for bison, along with sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious! I really like the location and how they've transformed a home into a cozy breakfast and brunch spot. The whole ambiance is warm and inviting. The service is always great, and everyone here is so friendly. Definitely a place I enjoy coming back to! read more

I met a girlfriend here for breakfast and we were able to get a table right away. This restaurant is located in an old house with a big front porch. I do love restaurants in an old house I ordered the quiche, which came with a side salad and a muffin. I did not like the quiche at all--although I love quiche, the texture was too wet for me. I really didn't like wet eggs. The server was happy to take it back, and asked what I would like instead. I said scrabbled eggs, and she brought me some promptly. The eggs were quite good, as were the muffin and side salad. Kudos for that. This is where I have an issue. We had finished our food, but not our coffee. As we were still drinking our coffee, someone came to our table and said we would have to leave because a party of 6 needed our table, and "here is a cinnamon roll to go." We were both taken aback because we were in the middle of our coffee. We put down our cups of coffee and left. It really just soured our morning. I stopped for a coffee on my way home since I couldn't finish mine there. I don't think we will return. read more

I had a great experience here. My friend and I wanted a cute brunch spot and this was it! We were seated inside pretty quick. Seats are closer together due to the setup of a house. It's so cute though. The menu had great items and I ordered the psl French toast. Delicious! I got eggs in the side too. It was a bit pricy but worth the splurge for a fun friend date. read more

6/23/26 My Tuesday ladies lunch group of 5 chose this restaurant on Tues 6/16. When we chose it their listed hours were 7am-2pm. Apparently they switched to summer hours recently & now it closes at 1pm. It's a Women owned restaurant inside an olde cute building with 4 small rooms inside for dining. The food was good & our waitress was sweet but they really should provide a carafe of water on the table &/or provide larger water glasses. One of us almost always had an empty glass. We only saw 2 young ladies working (1 server & 1 waitress). Think with small improvements this would be a solid 4 restaurant. I knocked off 1 start for accessibility issues. There was 1 lady in my party that has a walker but luckily she was able to navigate in & out of the building without any major issues. The Parking & bathrooms are a bit of a walk & may be difficult for someone with disabilities. I only saw 1 handicapped parking space. Plus all but the handicapped space in the parking lot is just sand/gravel. There's only 1 door for customers & it's located at the very front of the building (closest to Gilbert Rd). Know that the ramp to get into the building is quite short & steep. Also, the bathrooms are shared by the buildings in the complex & located in a separate building located behind the restaurant. *The ladies bathroom was clean, had a baby changer, & AC. It has a nice sized patio that runs along the front & side of the building with shade, fans, & misters. Too hot for my group on a 100+ degree day in AZ. Think I'd enjoy sitting in that outdoor space when it's cooler. read more

Was such a cute spot for a date with a girlfriend. The old house had so much charm and character. I also loved that the porch was dog friendly, so even your furry family members can join. It's surrounded by adorable local shops, so the whole area makes for such a fun outing. The menu had so many options that it was honestly hard to choose because everything sounded so good. They also had an extensive drink selection, and I loved that they were able to turn one of the drinks into a mocktail for me. It was so refreshing and perfect especially since the Arizona heat is starting to kick in. The staff and service were incredibly sweet, attentive, and accommodating. After we finished eating, we walked around all the nearby shops to check everything out and walk off our food. It turned such a simple lunch date into a memorable little day together. Definitely a place we will be visiting again. read more

Gilbert House, what happened? The space has charm, and the girls who work there are super nice and friendly. Our waitress was also fantastic. The food was so bad I had to send it back. Scrambled eggs that were scorched and crumbled, cold store bought sausage. The pancakes were horrible! Doughy and not cooked all the way in the middle, and the worst French toast I ever had. It was basically dry slices of old bread. Please see photos for reference. Huge disappointment... read more

Wonderfully cozy restaurant serving breakfast, brunch and cocktails. We used Yelp to get on the waitlist in advance and we were seated indoors almost immediately. Both the host and server greeted us warmly. If you enjoy sweets you MUST get a cinnamon roll! Since we both wanted a meal for breakfast, we decided to split a cinnamon roll for "dessert", making our calorie count egregious. Glad we did, though - it was served warm and absolutely slathered in creamy icing. Wow! My green chile omelet was delicious too, even though it ended up playing second fiddle to the pastry. Indoor seating is packed close together, which was fine with us - but if you prefer more space you'll need to brave the heat and get an outdoor table. read more

Lived in Gilbert for 20 years and just tried the gilbert house for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. I had the carnitas Benedict and was very impressed. Pork was tender and perfectly seasoned. The green chili was well balanced in terms of heat and savory. Their hash browns are definitely something to try as they are crispy outside and tender inside without being a gut bomb. Coffee was so smooth i drank it black. Finally the Farmhouse 75 was very tasty and generous. Service was prompt and very courteous. They are definitely getting it right! I will be coming back and bringing out of town guests Keep up the great work!!! read more

The Gilbert House - Food was amazing! It was rather annoying that the door had to constantly be closed by customers. Can we donate to make sure this gets fixed? - New American Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Came here for breakfast Christmas Eve and was disappointed in the food. Super cute place and great staff and customer service, but the food didn't cut it. We sat inside and ordered the following: Green Chili Omelette with Chorizo - not sure how it pass quality control, but pretty sure rotten avocado should be a sign not to place on plate. Food was served cold, but flavor was ok. Country Fried Steak - food was also served cold and the gravy sauce is too sweet. Never had country sausage gravy that is sweet. Not a fan. Gilbert House punch Cocktails were ok. The fruit got stuck in the straw a lot so made it hard to drink the drink read more

The Gilbert House is known for their Green chili omelets and cinnamon rolls. My boyfriend and I stopped in when he was visiting as I have been wanting to try as I love green chili and cinnamon rolls. It was a rainy weekend, but they were able to give us a seat inside as I wanted to see the interior. Old style house with tea time decor. Very cute, but quaint so you definitely felt cozy next to other tables. Next visit, I'd probably choose the patio for a little more me space. Our server was super friendly and offered suggestions/answered questions. We didn't catch her name, but the receipt said Allison. Appreciate the great service and even assisting when I spilled the little container of creamer. Always get embarrassed when things like that happen, but she was super understanding and brought over new silverware and napkins. As for the food, I wanted to love it but a few items fell short in our opinion. The cold brew + marshmallow flavoring and cream was my favorite thing of my meal. We ordered the caramel apple cinnamon roll ($7.50) to share to start the meal and we felt the dough was a little tight making it tough (possibly dough overworked and/or not proofed long enough). It could be the batch, so I'd always be willing to try as the center of the roll was delicious. Especially with the fall toppings. For my meal, I ordered the green chili omelet. Some of the elements worked, and others I genuinely questioned. For example, the chunks of cream cheese in the middle seemed strange as they were large resulting in a mouthful of cream cheese with only egg. Additionally, the green chili lacked much flavor or heat. I was disappointed, but must say my boyfriend's blueberry pancakes were fluffy and extremely delicious. We both said we'd return for those. Overall, I enjoyed the visit and would return to order different items and get the blueberry pancakes again. read more

We were so excited to try Gilbert House but our experience today was crazy. We had 6 people in our party, so of course I made a reservation knowing it's a small, popular place. They called the day before to confirm, and then asked if we'd prefer inside or out, I requested inside. We arrived right on time to check in, and were told there was no table available inside, and that outside would be available in 10-15 minutes "maybe". I asked how long to wait for inside and she said - I kid you not, "15-20 minutes maybe. But that could change at any minute, but people might not leave, it could be more or less but there is no way to know." ...insane response lol. I asked why a reservation was even an option when it clearly wasn't and she said, "yeah that's why I'm telling you there's nothing inside so it will be like 15 minutes." Only maybe though, apparently?? I got the table ready text only 10 minutes later which wouldn't have been a problem, unfortunately the hostess made it seem like it was 50/50 if we'd get sat at all, so we were already gone. Good luck if you want to try it, though! read more

This local breakfast/lunch spot always looks so busy with a lot of people standing outside waiting for a table. I finally had breakfast here with a friend on a Saturday morning. They don't take reservations on weekends (unless it's for their special after hours dinners), but they do have a waitlist on Yelp. I didn't check the waitlist until I parked around 9:20am, and I was 11th in line! The wait was not too bad though for two people - 20 minutes later, I got a text that my table was ready. There is limited parking to the north and south of the restaurant, so plan accordingly. Also, the waitlist says the entire party must be present to be seated - not sure if they enforce that or not. They have a Fall menu right now - lots of pumpkin and apple flavors. We shared the Pumpkin Pancakes Shortstack ($9.95) and added a side of Apple Cider Sauce ($1) and Caramel Sauce ($1). We were not told of the additional charges for the sauces. The pancakes had a good amount of pumpkin spice and barely sweet, so it paired nicely with the sugary sauces. The Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll ($7.50) was pretty good and fluffy, though flatter than I expected. On the Breakfast menu, I got the Buffalo Scramble ($15.95). It's rare to see Buffalo on the menu, so I was curious to try. Both the scramble and hash browns lacked flavor, as if they forgot the salt. The hot sauce bottle on the table was much needed. My friend got the 2 Egg Breakfast ($12.50), and she also had to add salt to her dish. We enjoyed having breakfast on the patio in cooler temps after it had just rained that morning. Our waitress, Julia, was really personable and attentive. Overall, the experience was pretty good, but I think I would only come back for the sweet menu items. read more

I have a problem. I LOVE breakfast food options...like loooove them! My problem is that I never make time to eat breakfast when the food is fresh and when the really good breakfast places are open. I know....I'm not very bright. But I'm trying to be better!! One of the places I've wanted to try for a very long time is The Gilbert House. Confession: I should have tasted this place a loooong time ago! First things first, the aesthetics of this place are amazingly charming and give you that "I'm getting a homemade meal from grandma's kitchen" feel. Definitely adds to the experience. I was met immediately by Olivia (amazing!) and given a seat quickly. She walked me through the menu and I sooo wanted to try everything she suggested. I went with the Spicy Chorizo Omelet with a side or Corned Beef Hash (I almost got the Apple Pancakes as well.....next time!). While I waited for my selections, the Owner, Caitlin, came out and checked on me, a huge plus in my book! Without her saying it, you could tell how much passion and pride she has in the legacy she is carrying on and genuinely enjoys and appreciates everyone who stops in to experience her food. I love that! The food was amazing, the staff are amazing and the food is amazing (did I say that already?)! On a scale of 1 to 10, if you appreciate good fresh food, love to eat in a uniquely timeless place with character and charm, you need to check this out! I will be back to try the pancakes, and the green chili omelet, the French Toast, and, and, and...! PS, Makenna.....I'm so sorry I shut the door on you! Please forgive me :) read more

And we even pre-ordered skme pie for Thanksgiving! Definitely add to your brunch list! We dined early so the wait wasn't long for us but I did join the yelp waitlist as well.

Me and my boyfriend came in for breakfast around 11:20 am. We had a 30 minute wait which we didnt mind as today was our date day. Everything went fine for the most part, food came out hot and correctly. But when it came to us asking for the check we had waited 10 minutes and even watched the table behind us get a box and their check and checked out immediately after we asked before we even got a box. Our server then was taking a large order when we reminded her only to wait another 10-15 for the box and check and then after we immediately gave her our card in hopes she would do it soon we waited again 10 minutes.

This past weekend, my husband and I were wanting to get some breakfast inside of cooking at home. We've always driven past The Gilbert House, and decided to come by. I don't know what we expected for a Saturday morning, but it was busy! There is plenty of parking throughout the lot and various other buildings and stores. We got our name put in and was told it would be 30 minutes, so we walked around. We came back 20 minutes later, and some time had passed - it seems they had given our table away when they called my husband's name. They were able to get us seated immediately, and offered to get a high chair for my toddler. We had a very nice server - she was very bubbly and sweet. We decided to sit outside, and it was pretty windy out. They had a basket of blankets in the front for anyone who was cold - that was very nice! We opted out since we were already wearing our own sweaters. As for the food - it was good! Sometimes, simplicity is key, and that is what we wanted. -Homemade cinnamon roll -Blueberry pancakes -Green chili omelet -House made corned beef hash I would absolutely recommend the green chili with chorizo. I didn't order with any meat, but I think it would have rounded out the flavors nicely! You must order the cinnamon roll - it was so tender and sweet. It was great with my house coffee. I would love to come here again when the weather warms up. It was charming and I can see why it is so popular! read more

A Hidden Gem in Gilbert - Highly Recommend! We had the pleasure of dining at The Gilbert House for lunch on a Sunday around 12:30, and it was packed--always a great sign! The restaurant itself is an actual charming house, which adds to its cozy and inviting atmosphere. The outdoor seating is a fantastic option when the weather in Arizona is nice, making for a perfect dining experience. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful--so kind, attentive, and helpful, especially since it was my first time there. She made a great recommendation, and I went with the Southwest Organic Chicken Breast Sandwich with fries and a refreshing tea--it was delicious! Others in our group ordered the cheeseburger, green chili omelet, and BLT, and everyone was more than happy with their meals. Even though they close at 2:00, we ended up staying a little past that time, and the staff remained so friendly and accommodating. That kind of service makes a place even more special! If you're looking for a quaint, welcoming spot with great food and service, I highly recommend The Gilbert House. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is cute but not great for accommodating parties over 4. They do not take reservations on weekends. We came here on Sunday with a group of ten and the wait was an hour. The property is really cute and we spent some time walking around and looking at the shop. Sadly the book store was closed. Once we were sat, we waited and waited. We started looking up the menu on our phones because none were provided and our server hadn't stopped by at all. The hostess walked by and we asked her to please bring us some menus and she seemed pretty embarassed that the server hadn't come by yet. This was pretty much the theme of the experience; very slow service by a waitress who clearly seemed annoyed to be there. Not enough table settings (napkins and silverware). The kicker was when another server helped bring out the food and gave my nephew my food and insisted it was his. When I asked where my food was (everything else had come out) , the waitress motioned to my nephew And said "he took your plate". Whoa whoa whoa! Absolutely Ridiculous. Sad thing is, the good really was good, but the service was bad. We all kind of got a bad taste in our mouths and probably don't be coming back. read more

My husband and I decided to give this Gilbert House Restaurant a try and we are so glad we did. We sat outside in the covered patio area and the weather was very forgiving for once.

I've driven by this place dozens of times and always wanted to stop in but never did. Luckily a friend finally suggested it for brunch and I got to give it a go. It was a little hot and a majority of their seating is outdoors so that was a bummer for me as someone who doesn't do heat well, but they have huge umbrellas and do their best. They also have fans to deal with flys and such which worked the first time we went but not our most recent experience. Outside of Mother Nature though, this place is a gem. The food is so fresh, the service is so good and the drinks are excellent. My California Benedict was perfectly cooked (poached eggs and all) and had the best avocado. The only issue was the hollandaise sauce was not completely warm so it got a bit thick. The same can be said for the butter on the cinnamon roll which made it feel incomplete so I would go without that next time. Overall though a great place for a brunch when you want good food and a cute place to relax. read more

They temp of the hash browns were Luke warm at best. The Quiche was only warm in the inside. I t looked like it was left over from the previous day. I asked for it to be warmed up in the microwave and unfortunately it cam back the same temperature.

Made a reservation a month prior. Got there 5 minutes before our reservation and found out they gave away our table to a different party. I get it accidents happen but still annoying to sit out in the heat for an extra 25 minutes waiting for another table to open up. We got sat and told it was buffet only which wasn't mentioned on the reservation and then nobody told us the prices of the buffet until we got the check. Ended up being $30 per person for hotel breakfast level food. Server was nice and attentive but they add on an automatic 20% gratuity to the check. Normally I tip 20% anyways but I prefer to do that myself. Gives a bad taste when restaurants just expect a tip like that. It's a cute place and I'm happy to support a small business but I'm not sure I'll be back to this one. read more
