First visit to this gem of a restaurant. Julia was our server and we could sense the mid-west nice. Food was on point.

My girlfriend and I decided to try this spot for brunch. This restaurant is cute and quaint and woman owned. Based on the reviews, I was excited to brunch here. When we arrived, like many others, we had no clue what to do or where to go. I opened the restaurant door expecting someone to greet us but no one acknowledged. I went back out and noticed a clip board that said "sign in here". Again, I wasn't sure what to do and was like ok I guess I sign here. After not being acknowledged for at least 10-15 minutes, my girlfriend asked the the bust boy if there was someone who could help us and tell us what was going on. Mind you, we weren't the only ones unsure of the wait time, if we even did the process right etc. Another 15 minutes or so went by, we hadn't seen the bust boy who was supposed to get help and no one came out so my girlfriend went back in. Finally a woman came out, the owner, she actually told my friend she was inside because it was too hot to be outside although we and several people were outside in the heat waiting for service! I literally heard a woman say her party of 5 had been waiting for 30 mins and when they might be seated and the owner just said she didn't know and people inside weren't moving from their tables. She had no idea of estimated wait time for anyone. Let me say this.. we would have left but this was our 3rd brunch spot we tried and when I called, they told us it was a 10-15 minute wait so we went here.. We finally were seated and then at times it felt like we were being rushed to place our order though it took a long time for us to be acknowledged and seated. Restaurant is extremely noisy since it is small. I will say my French toast, egg whites and mimosa were great. My friend enjoyed had food despite the tomato in her meal still having the supermarket sticker on it. This rating has to do with my experience and first impression. The owner should definitely invest in a hostess and some customer service workshops. I won't be coming back no matter how great the food was. Not the review I like writing but it had to be shared. read more

Probably one of the worst dining experiences I've had in awhile. I entered my name on the sign in sheet and waited to the side. I noticed we were skipped by a few people so I asked the waitress if we had to go in or if the sign in sheet was sufficient. She just looked at me and said "sign in Sheet" and walked away. I watched as we were skipped AGAIN and decided if the service was this bad outside before sitting than I'm not wasting my time on seeing how it is inside. I've had their food before and again , was not worth the wait. I did find it funny how I was the only POC there and the only one experiencing this treatment. read more

Food was average. Service was okay. Servers were nice and polite but very slow despite the place not being busy. They forgot several things from bringing me a menu, filling up my water, and part of my meal. The ambience was cute, small cottage vibes. I also tried their cinnamon rolls and forgot to take a picture, but they were very bland. I wouldn't come back here again. read more

The Gilbert House - Veggie omelette and side of fruit. Also comes with toast but they forgot to bring it out - New American Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Always a wait when visit, but was worth it. Breakfast and butter pancake was fresh and delicious, and served faster than you can process what you just ordered. Vibe was chill, great service as well. Highly recommended! read more

Fantastic locally owned eatery. We have been coming here for years. They are expanding their offerings as well. Service was great.

This place slaps! Pancakes? Slap! Green chili omelette?! Slaps! Cinnamon roll?! SLAPS!!!!!!!

While on Stay Cation Jen & I had breakfast at on of the local farm house location here in Gilbert Az. We've seen it busy on the weekends so thought it would be better try getting in during the week day and it was. I had the Egg Benedict Plate with hash browns, The Egg Benedict wasn't bad however the has browns were a bit on the mushier side and lacked flavor. Jen had the normal breakfast poached eggs, bacon, toast and hash browns again everything was ok except the hash browns. There are still a few more places we want to try but still have our favorites that we go to regularly. read more

Good food and friendly service. Breakfast and lunch staples made with quality ingredients.

Stopped in for a late breakfast mid-week and while busy, service was excellent. We each had an omelette and thought the food was very fresh. It's a cute spot, but the old wood floor are a bit noisy and you definitely feel and hear everyone coming and going. I'd like to come back and try the pancakes. read more

Great place. Cute and homey like with awesome service. Feels like you stepped into an olds friend house with comfort and kindness. Cute property to walk around on a great day! Awesome food. read more

Worst experience of my life after waiting 30 minutes for a table we asked for a manager because they had open tables and were not sitting us but were sitting individuals that got here way after us. We were trying to express our frustration and the owner took offense rather than hearing us out they had 4 tables open and multiple people had left because of how horrible the hostess was at seating. Worst experience ever and honestly for food that is sub par. The owner said " I don't need to take business advice from you you can leave" read more

I can't believe I just found this spot. Classic breakfast food with a cool vibe. Great service and very fair prices.

What a disappointment! We've eaten here before and enjoyed it - this time was the exact opposite! From the time we sat down and got our food, it was 45 minutes. They also managed to screw up a short track of pancakes! How do you possibly do that?!?!? Forget, no one from management came out to say anything. Suffice it to say, they didn't even earn the 1 star and we won't be back. read more

This place has kind of lost its magic. It used to be relatively good, somewhat affordable, and with good service; however, that seems to have changed, and price increases in terms of the food and add ons suggest that this is no longer a place for anything but a special occasion... if you want to risk it! You see, the food quality has also taken a hit, and the staff appears overwhelmed most of the time. You also have to wait outside in the heat, which I guess is par for the course in AZ, but I was never offered a drink or anything while I waited. I had a coffee I was carrying around with me for the morning, and no one addressed this or seemed to care until it was time to sit down. It seemed like a non-issue (as this is mostly the case in 2024), but, not so fast, as I was made to go back outside into the heat to leave it in the car before seating. I was not offered another option, such as just ordering another drink, which, mind you, I was planning on doing anyways until I got flack from the staff. There was no sign about having another coffee or anything of the sort posted. Nevertheless, I somewhat understood, so I just complied without any complaint at the time, but then I received undercooked pancakes, and the waitress only came to refill my water once at the beginning. I was left in thirst with undercooked pancakes that that were still batter in the middle, in the end. See pictures! I was only offered a remake and it wasnt taken off my bill. After this experience where I paid over $35 dollars for 4 pancakes (my wife had blue berry pancakes that were just ok), two of which were not fully edible, I'm not sure I can ever go back or recommend this place again! Not as it stands now... the food coming out of this place used to look like the food network, but not anymore! For example, my pancakes that normally get syrup on the side in a small cup, this time it was just dumped on top and not enough. I hope they correct these issues, but I don't know if I will go back to see. read more

We haven't been here in a while but it's always very good. Staff is always friendly as well. I wish it was a larger house so it wasn't always so busy but then I probably wouldn't like it as much!! read more

Stop making pancakes. You're not good at it. The worst I've ever had. Ordered a full stack buttermilk pancakes (3 cakes, 6" diameter). The cost averages out to $4 each. I'd rather have tacos... or anything else! What was wrong with the pancakes? RUBBERIZED and some dry edges. Hard time cutting through with a metal fork. Didn't need a steak knife but did deploy the metal butter knife. Just think about it. Anywhere (McDonald's even?) makes better pancakes than you do. read more

Decided to come here after the Gilbert farmers market and was glad we did. This seems to be an old home turned into a restaurant. It's quaint and has a good vibe. I ordered the spicy chorizo omelet and although it wasn't spicy it was so good. You can tell they use fresh ingredients! I was told to get the infamous cinnamon roll too so I'm already planning on coming back soon to try that. If you want a place that isn't your local chain restaurant this is it!! read more

The Gilbert House - Spicy chorizo omelet - New American Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

It's an actual house! So cute the tables are set up in the 3 rooms of the house (not remodeled, just as is). They use the kitchen as the server station (silverware, cups, drinks, etc.) with the kitchen in the back of the house. It's like being home with friends and family for a meal with folks in different areas of the house, having convos, hanging out. Restrooms are in a building behind the house. Even though you may think parking would be hard to come by with the location, there was no problem finding a spot. We only had to wait 2 mins for a table (inside), but the wait is a little longer for the patio as it's more popular. It was a bit warm inside (didn't feel like air was on), but we were also close to kitchen and could feel air come on closer to end of meal (it may not turn on until a certain time). The menu is limited and simple, but that means they focus on doing a few things right rather than having too many options! One side for breakfast--several options for pancakes, some French toast, eggs, omelets, etc. We managed to snag the last cinnamon roll (at 10am) so if you're there early, make sure you get one. Nice and thick, cream cheese frosting, and buttery goodness oozing out when you cut into it! Coffee: really delicious, darker roast than I'm usually used to, but very nice flavor, and not too acidic. The creamer is real Half & Half, very smooth. The water didn't taste bleachy, though it was still tap. I ordered the apple pancakes at the recommendation of our server. The pancakes are as big as the plate and they come smothered in the apple cider sauce/compote. The pancakes are hearty and the sauce makes it taste like apple pie!! So if you have a hankering for some pie for breakfast, this is it! Not too sweet, not too sour (vinegar not overwhelming). Just delish! It can definitely be filling enough on its own without the sides. I was too full to finish after the cinnamon roll! Hubby ordered the chicken fried steak (comes with two eggs and biscuits and gravy). Eggs were just slightly runny, but very buttery and delicious. The quality of the eggs are excellent. The Country Fried Steak was very tender, the breading is very obviously homemade and incredibly savory. It was crispy and held in the moisture of the steak incredibly well. The steak was really tender (tender enough to cut with a butter knife), not tough at all. Great flavor. The biscuits were pretty close to perfect; really savory, but not too heavy. They're a great accent to the rest of the meal. The sausage gravy is some of the best he's ever tasted. It had the perfect amount of salt and consistency was perfect. Little bits of sausage throughout, and the dish wasn't saturated in it, so you could still taste all the other items on the plate. Very well-done. The hashbrowns were excellent as well. Crispy on the outside, and chewy otherwise. Good amount of butter and other seasonings. Server Renae was great, friendly and attentive. Place was clean and you can't beat the atmosphere. The food speaks for itself all clearly made with quality fresh ingredients and a whole lot of pride. We will definitely be back! read more

Went to Gilbert House for Mother's Day brunch. The food was incredible and the entire staff was amazing and friendly. Our wait time was less than 5 min on what was probably their busiest day of the year. Our server, Julia, was the element that really brought the whole experience together. She was warm, kind, and attentive. She absolutely deserves special recognition! Thanks Gilbert house! read more

We love the little house, and the food is always delicious. We always get great service! The outside dining is beautiful.

One of our favorite breakfast spots! Their food is delicious and their servers are always so kind. They do a great job not only serving you but the restaurant is so clean! The atmosphere is cozy and makes you feel like you're visiting family! read more

The food is delicious, fresh and the portions are great. The atmosphere is fun. We met a couple on their first date too. They told us to have the cinnamon roll. Stephanie was our server. She is kind and knowledgeable about the food. She has the best earrings too. read more

This place is in a once small house. We ate in a small room with two other tables. It was different. My omelet was very good. I been here twice and will be back. read more

We had the best experience at The Gilbert House! Thankful for amazing service and a sweet atmosphere! We enjoyed our breakfast on the patio and had such a great time! read more

Went to try this little cozy spot out the other day. It's very small , but they make sure all the LOVE they can goes into their food. Reminds me of back home in Michigan. Tried their FAMOUS cinnamon roll ( HOLY GREATNESS)! I saw a family sharing it , not me ....I just couldn't find it in myself ! Yes I ate it ALL! My daughter was sold on the BLT . Must stop in if your out and about, definitely not your normal chain restaurant. read more

Had the green chili omelet with chorizo and hash browns for breakfast. It was excellent, service was great and were able to eat outside on the porch! Very enjoyable experience! read more

Service and food are an abomination. I Will never go back! Eggs requested were not prepared properly and when I asked for a correction, the manager (son of the owner) said there was NOTHING WRONG with how MY EGGS WERE PREPARED, AND THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO HAVE THE COOK REDO THEM AGAIN. No wonder this place is always empty. read more

Good service and good food. Nice little place to eat and a hidden little spot in Gilbert.

The food is wonderful, the staff is friendly and very accommodating. Apple bread pudding is a must to have.

atmosphy n decor very nice. for the most part was very good. wife had the veggie omelette which was excellent. they don't salt it so it's up to the consumer to fit to their taste. I had the housem hash with over hard eggy which was outstanding here's the part that isn't acceptable. for the jam it was those little pull apart Kraft packets u find in a Denny'd or ihop. they could improve on that by pro those small jars of bonneManne u get in some coffee shops. next was the oversized pancakes we got. very blahwith plenty of butter. but the syrup was thick as molasses something you'd find in the Waffle House. log cabin syrup wouyhave been better than what they serve. a few improvements would make this place a little gem of Gilbert. for the price you pay for brea you'd expect a little more refinement with those add ons. read more

How have I not reviewed this spot yet? I've come to the Gilbert House a handful of times now and it is so good. Everything I've gotten is delicious. While it's usually busy, I've had great luck on getting in every time. The service is fantastic and I absolutely love the ambiance. read more

Such a great spot. Wonderful food wonderful people! The owner and family are so nice. My kids love the cinnamon rolls and apple juice.

Service excellent (only reason for the 3 stars) Ambiance nice. Food mediocre at best. Very disappointed as it lacked in taste and presentation. Had the albacore tuna melt-honestly without flavor and definitely not a taste of tuna. $13 worth-of--sandwich it was not. Won't be returning. read more

Very long wait. The staff was super friendly and helpful. But the food was cold by the time it got to our table. Very little flavor the hash brown were almost raw. Maybe we will get again on a weekday when it's not so busy. Super cute place read more

First off this is a unique little part of town and the resteraunt itself is very eclectic. However the flys were just awful outside and I have to say the food is kind of basic. Now don't get me wrong this place is a neat little place and the staff is great, I just felt there could be more out of it. Overall I'd recommend checking it out to see what you think ! read more

Really good food and service, but we got sat near the front door and I would say they don't need a table there due to it was constantly people entering it. They had a waitlist outside, but that didn't stop people from still entering in and asking where they can wait. Nice little place and an everyone is super nice. read more

Met my two beautiful friends today at The Gilbert house for breakfast. What a totally darling place! It has a fantastic family history to go along with it. The green chili omelette was all our choices and it was delicious!! The banana pancakes looked so good so I think we'll have to go back for those! read more
