    Hot Mess!
    dean d.

    Brunch time! The Hot Mess tasted was better than the description and the potatoes never got soggy! The Brunch Quesadilla (chicken, shrooms, spinach) was heavy stuffed and delicious too.

    My son treated me to lunch, and I chose Cafe Gecko because a coworker recommended it, and it was the perfect place to enjoy a quick lunch. The cafe is nicely decorated, and has plenty of indoor and patio seating. The waitstaff I engaged with were very friendly and welcoming. Our meals were delivered in plenty of time to enjoy during my hour lunch break. My first visit to Cafe Gecko won't be my last!

    Stopped by for a brunch on a Saturday. Busy place, it's seat yourself and they were packed. Service was good though, mimosa specials are a plus. Breakfast quesadillas were really good.

    Chicken pizza

    The queso had a kick but was good. Had the chicken pizza, also. It had a great flavor and a large pizza was enough to feed an army. Customer service was great.

    This is a very calm and relaxing restaurant. It's definitely a place to come to grab a drink and a quick bite to eat. The food we got was delicious and the portions were perfect. I have to say the smoked turkey sandwich was great! It did have way too much cheese but regardless it was good. The waitress were quick and courteous as well. This place is dog friendly so bring your pups!

    Party on the Patio!

    They claim to have a kitchen that's open until 2AM but at 11PM they were closed. Drove pretty out of the way to try it.

The fact that the owner makes…read moreeverything from scratch, dough, cheeses, sauces, etc. I guarantee once you've tried this, you'll never eat another pizza anywhere else! It's a little expensive but SO worth every penny. We had the garlicky cheese which is better than any garlic cheese breadstick anywhere. That thin crispy dough and delicious cheese! Oh my! Also had a large pepperoni cup with homemade red sauce. Family loved it. My husband and I had a large veggie of our choice, with Italian sausage and homemade red sauce and added homemade ricotta too. Incredibly delicious! I wish he would add a couple of dessert pizzas too. Yummy! Please give them a try, you won't regret it and you'll fall in love too.

    I was surprised to learn this is take-out only. Although I really don't mind eating it at home,…read morebut I think it might have lost a bot of its crispiness on the drive home- which is about 15 minutes. We ordered the Aurthur, and it was delicious. I wasn't sure how much to order so I got a large to be safe. Well, its huge at 16". Probably more than we needed for two people as we each ate two large slices, leaving 4 slices left over. I love leftover pizza, so no problem there. I think its a better value at $23.50 versus $16 for a small? I liked the greek salad as well, although It could probably use a larger lettuce to all-other-ingredients ratio. it seemed like all the ingredients were about equal in portion. Delicious, but I want a bit more lettuce. I will for sure try some of the other pizzas here. And I liked the friendly staff. They seem genuinely "all-in", which is a great thing.

OK i saw it was missing toppings and knew before i even ate it and well we ate the F'ing pizza and there 100% was missing toppings - MULTIPLE (it was missing the bacon jam and hot honey, literally the 2 addons the specialty pizza was supposed to come with) as shown in picture i provided... we ordered the sweet revenge specialty pizza with mushrooms, extra cheese, red bell peppers, and pepperoni. we pay good for these pizzas and have been good customers for years. the old people who worked there the last few months knew our order specifically. idk if they changed staff or what. - i made sure to speak to the manager and speak nicely but once he told me i was making it up i definitely was angry. he offered no way to help and told me i would have to drive back up there. i ask for his name to and he said he didnt see the relevance. obviously the relevance was to complain. the workers there seem high on drugs other than just weed based on the dark black circles around there eyes... yikes must be good letting them handle food, anyway. the person checking me out seemed like he was waiting for me to leave without me even paying because he was so high. the manager did not care when i told him this. and he refused to give me his name. this place is terrible and the upper management seems to never check on it in my opinion. i even gave the manager the option like i could send him picture of the pizza etc and get a credit for next time but i got no help. i hang up and made this post. very frustrating. 40 dollars wasted... save your money and eat at a place next door or a diffferent pizza place. Thanks for reading. We as long time customer are never going here again. P.S. the date was 5/19/26 and time was 6PM for upper management that actually care to look into this since they wouldnt give me a managers name. insane tbh. everyone there must be high.

We had scheduled an early dinner (6:00) and there were only 7 tables throughout the night enjoying dinner service. Well, we won't be going back till the addition to the restaurant is completed, due to the noise factor!!!!!!! There was sawing noise which was so loud we joked it made us feel like we were at the dentist office having a negative experience. Along with nail guns, not what you wish to have when you're trying to have a an enjoyable dinner experience! Upon being sat we asked Patrick, our server, if they were going to continue working and he was very put off by our question. He told they were about to wrap it up for the evening. Nope, still going strong at 7:00!!? We should have left...but we had committed to the evening by ordering a bottle of wine, meatballs (deliciousness!), and salad that came overdressed with dressing (yuck!). My friend ordered the Margarita pizza, which they left the fresh basil off, which is a key ingredient. Me, the sea-bass, which was overcooked & very fishy. My hubby the pork & beef pasta with ricotta, which was overcooked and mushy. Needless to say less than stellar. And Patrick was not very friendly or accommodating. Worst night of my Life, I was so embarrassed! When dining, you usually have background music, not a building under construction??!!! $200 dinner, ruined, horrible!!!!
