    Egg that came with the Country Fried Steak. Glad I got it on the side instead of having the sweet gravy smothered on it.
    Bren T.

    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

    Still local, value priced, delicious home made food with family flare service. The ambiance is like visiting your grandmas house for breakfast- you can sit right in the living room if you want (at a table). Outdoor patio is popular too. This is my 21st year eating here- glad to see Susan's niece keeping the family business going.

    EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious. It was such a great morning to sit on the patio the staff was all super polite and great recommendations. I took one of my besties with me it was both of our first visits here. Ill definitely come back again.

    Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll - $7.50

    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.

    Can't wait to try the breakfast here!

    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.

    Pumpkin French toast

    This spot has been on my go to list for a while now and we finally made it for brunch! It's such a cute spot and theres shops nearby as well! Parking is tight, so be wary of that. I enjoyed the omelet (hatch chile) and the seasonal pumpkin French toast! the coffee was amazing as well! We plan to order some from the cave creek roasters! 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. Definitely take those into consideration when you visit!

    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 :)

    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.

    The breakfast at this restaurant deserves every star. Our whole family loved their dishes, and we'll definitely be back. We started with the cinnamon roll which was warm, gooey, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the French toast, which quickly became the table's favorite, and the Country Fried Steak was fantastic as well. We arrived early in the morning and were seated pretty quickly, which was a great bonus. Highly, highly recommend!

    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!

    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!

    We found this place by pure luck one Saturday after swimming lessons. We lucked out with a wait because there wasn't one when we got there, but if we go back, we will definitely wait for the food because it's that good! It is a busy place, a house turned into a restaurant, so very close quarters, but it was fine. The staff were all friendly and accommodating and they all were so kind to my son too!

Parking 5/5 Always a challenge but coming early and doing the circle dance landed us a nice space across from the Liberty Market. Atmosphere 5/5 Such a cool restaurant with allot of history dating back to 1935/1958/2008/2022 which reflects the years of the establishments service and architecture evolutions. Always a great vibe here! Service 10/5 Our experience tonight began with the beautiful and friendly hostess Bailey. She greeted us with a warm smile and asked us what our seating presence was. We grabbed a booth overlooking Page street and the foot traffic outside. Our server tonight was Treven who joined us table side. He had our drink and starters in quickly. My wife ordered the Lucky Penny Latte and I had iced tea. Starter was their out of this world Burrata. The photos fall short of its glory. Entrees was their memorable minestrone soup, and I ordered their sesame ginger noodle salad featuring sweet potato glass noodles which are delicious and a host of smartly paired vegetables, chicken and a pleasant ginger sriracha delivering some spice and heat without overpowering the dish itself. For desert we fell way off the wagon with their in-house carrot cake. A slice easily feeds four and we enjoyed ours with espressos. Dinner was excellent from the service to the scratch kitchen food, and expressos, Magnifico! $125.00 with tip and leftovers too. Date night my friends-SYOY!

We started with large French fries served with two smallish containers ketchup and chipotle sauce. Fries good but could have a bit hotter and served with insufficient amount of sauces. 3. Hubs had Caesar salad. I'm not kidding when I tell you that half of the bowl was croutons. 2. I had the minestrone soup with sausage, no pasta. This was absolute delicious and filling. I'd come back just for a bowl @ $17. 5. Hubs and I shared the wood fired pepperoni pizza. This may have been one of the worst pizzas I've had in recent years. Floppy, scant cheese and sauce. Shriveled basil and tiny pepperonis. Even worse, the bottom was black. Just awful. 1. Our waitress and other servers were all friendly. Nice vibe, clean and gender inclusive restrooms clean and tidy. We might come back for dinner one day and try other dishes. (I'd still get the soup). Super convenient given the Hale theater's close proximity. Well def come back for coffee and dessert! ~EG Eats

The location has a quaint, house-style feel with beautifully manicured grounds. The large doors were open, allowing a lovely breeze to flow through, a welcomed touch. There's also a convenient parking lot right next door, which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant offers a variety of seating options: outside patio, high-top outdoor seating, inside bar seating, and traditional indoor dining. We arrived in that sweet spot between lunch and happy hour, so the restaurant was quiet and relaxed, exactly how we like it. Drinks My Blue Hawaiian ($15) was absolutely amazing, it really hit the spot, and I was still feeling great when we left! My husband ordered the Pizza Port Chronic ($5) and said it was a nice, refreshing change of pace. Our Server Andrew Andrew greeted us immediately, walked us through both the food and drink menus, and was genuinely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was the highlight of our visit. Exceptional service. Appetizer Butter Board & Bread We started with the Butter Board ($14), served with toasted bread. The butter itself, whipped with ricotta, herbs, and what I believe was a honey drizzle, was absolutely delicious. My only note is that the bread edges were toasted a bit too dark for my taste, leaving a slightly burnt crust flavor and aroma. Entrées I ordered the Seared Scallops ($48), which were plated with white potatoes, purple potatoes (possibly ube), and sausage over a rich sauce. Unfortunately, the purple potatoes had a burnt taste that was off-putting, and I wasn't able to finish much of my meal. My husband, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed his Grilled Striped Bass ($48), beautifully plated and well-executed. Final Thoughts While my entree missed the mark this visit, Andrew's outstanding service and the overall ambience more than carried the experience. The space is gorgeous, the concept is lovely, and I can absolutely see returning when the seasonal menu refreshes. In my opinion, it's worth a second chance, we will be back.

Nestled in historic downtown Chandler, in the narrow sliver of Boston Street, the speak-easy themed cocktail bar and restaurant is located inside the former home of the Chandler Arizonan, the city's original hometown newspaper since 1912. With exposed brick walls and rich wood finishes, the historic site provides an upscale, contemporary urban and industrial-chic setting. After easily finding parking in walking distance from the entrance, we arrived shortly before midnight of the 7th.

THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN is credited for the first place that I ever tried a CLOVER CLUB, a pink, frothy cocktail with fruity, citrusy, velvety qualities. I was instantly tickled pink, literally, by the nostalgic feel of the elegant concoction, topped with artfully designed egg white foam and served in a vintage-style champagne glass. What a beauty of a drink with a touch of class and sophistication! Almost made me want to throw on a flapper dress and dance the Charleston...until I realized the need to balance from the powerful punch in the serious drink. Fancy, stiff cocktails served at THE BRICKYARD DOWNTWON fo shizz. No complaints about that here! It's been a while since I visited Arizona. Maybe it's time to return.

We came in with our family and three kids and sat on the patio since we were a larger group. After eating, our kids were sitting in chairs near our table, chatting and moving around a bit. They weren't being loud or disruptive, but a nearby a couple clearly seemed upset. The woman was shaking her head and saying to the waitress "this isn't okay to be doing while people are eating", pointing toward our kids. Once I realized this, I immediately called my kids back over and had them sit with us, and I even let her know that if something was bothering her, she could've told us and I would have addressed it right away. The couple chose to ignore us and left shortly after. The manager then came out and reassured us that Lucky Lou's is a family-friendly restaurant and that our kids were absolutely fine. That meant a lot to us and really showed how supportive and understanding the staff is. I also hope one day that couple realizes how hard it is to keep a 4-, 6-, and 8-year-old sitting at a table for more than 30 minutes without shoving an iPad in front of them. On top of that, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I honestly had the best burger and tater tots of my life. We'll definitely be back--thank you for creating such a kid-friendly and enjoyable place for families!

    High Tide is a great place to venture to if you're a seafood lover, and all the more so if you…read moreenjoy a great happy hour! It had been quite some time since I had last been, and my most recent visit didn't disappoint. Every time I've ever been here, it's always been busy during the dinner rush, but service has always remained quick and attentive. It certainly isn't what I would call a "fine dining" experience, but it's upscale enough and has good enough food to feel like a meaningful night out with family, friends, or your partner. For an appetizer, we enjoyed their bread and butter, which was fantastic. The bread also came with olive oil and seasonings to dip it in, which was also very tasty. For dinner, I enjoyed their grilled cod with French and sweet potato fries, as well as coleslaw. While the fish was slightly overcooked, the meal overall was still delicious, filling , and well worth the trip back to High Tide. Definitely swing in if you've never been!

    Came with friends for a celebration dinner. We've eaten here many times previously and one of our…read moremost favorite things here are the crab cakes! Come for the crab cakes!!! I had ice tea and wife ordered the blood orange jenny drink; both were great and refreshing! I also ordered a loaf of their warmed sourdough and butter to share with the table. Almost like being in San Francisco! For dinner we decided to share a couple of things; the crab cakes, which comes with fried avocado and some of the best aioli for dipping. The cakes themselves are big and full of crab with just the right amount of filling to create a decadent and moist cake! We also shared the seared jumbo scallops...High Tides knows how to cook scallops to the best! So yummy and tender and perfectly cooked with that crispy outer and the soft, creamy inside. We also shared a Caesar salad and one of the things we love about this place...ask and you can get some fresh anchovy on the side to add to the salad. Wife always asks for more lemon as well to drizzle over the salad. Overall a fantastic dinner for us and everyone with us!

    Wow! This is one of my favorite entrees I've had here!…read more The "Forbidden rice" bowl at $11.95 delivered in flavor and in quantity! I'm not vegetarian or vegan but I would gladly order this bowl again! A colorful mix of seasoned snap pea, bok choy, broccoli, carrot, onion, toasted sesame, red chili hoisin on a mix of black pearl and red japonica rice. I'm drawn to the combination of vegetables especially on the red Japonica rice. This nutty flavored, pale pink, medium grain rice (also know as Bhutanese Red Rice) has a slight chewy texture which I love. This dish tasted fresh was perfectly cooked and served hot at our table. Service was good and we timed it right by arriving at 11:40 before the lunch crowd came and filled all the seats. To end the meal we each purchased their chocolate chip cashew cookie. I buy this every visit and it is still awesome when baked fresh that day!

    This was not the first time I have been to Flower Child. It's one of those places that I'll go if…read moresomebody else wants to, but I'll never choose it myself. I know my opinion is probably unpopular because it seems like everybody loves Flower Child, but it's not really my cup of tea. I fully understand, though, that that's just me. I do have some weird food issues. I will say this place is so bright and airy and just lovely. I love the paned windows that look out onto the patio, the very high ceilings, and the brown rattan lighting fixtures. Even though the space is quite large, it's extremely inviting. That said, it's a great place for something healthy. I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the choices if you're trying to eat well. My friends lunch looked much better than what I had. I had the Flying Avocado Wrap, and I didn't love it. In fact I didn't finish even half of it - - I took it home and my son ate it. I think it's the bread I don't like, and anyone who knows me knows I can be really picky. Will I come back? Probably. When I have lunch with somebody else who wants to come here, I won't have a problem with it. I would really like to try the forbidden Rice that my friend had. But I'm not likely to ever swing by here on my own.
