A Sysco special. All of the food tasted like it was frozen. The beer bites were greasy, the fries were soggy, and the Italian beef was tough, dry, and served with a greasy side of jus that tasted like beef bullion. Even the chicken tenders and pita felt entirely processed. Hard to justify the price for food that feels straight out of a microwave steamer. At least the beer was good. read more

Came in wanting a Bloody and it didn't disappoint. Got to chatting with the GM and owner both of whom were awesome. Left and returned later for dinner. Complimentary salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing and beer nuggets come with any pizza order. We will be back! read more

Made a last minute stop for a bite to eat after a different restaurant nearby was closed. We are really happy we ended up here! They have complimentary bread and salad for the table. The bread/"beer nuggets" were fresh and severed with a warm marinara. The salad was also large and had good dressing. We got the thin crust pizza which was hot, full of flavor and had a great wood fired crust. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. Very much enjoyed our time. Bonus great lemon drop martini from the bartender! read more

Staff is friendly.. The salad and dressing that comes with entrees is delicious. I would recommend

Accidentally stumbled into Gobbie's for a day trip in Galena. We just wanted something quick and affordable, and it was EXACTLY that and more! My boyfriend and I decided to just share a burger and fries since we weren't too hungry, and we were pleasantly surprised when a salad and beer nuggets were brought to us as well! SUCH A GREAT VALUE for $14! We left stuffed and everything was so so good. Def recommend if in the area! Sport bar vibe with lots of seating! Our waitress was super sweet too! read more

I go to Gobbie's every time I visit Galena. The bartenders and wait staff have always been very nice and attentive. The ambience is sports like, casual but very nice. Their grilled chicken pita with feta cheese is always delicious and ample for two people! I recommend a side of ranch and not the Italian though. Gobbie's generously gives you beer nuggets and a side salad with raspberry vinaigrette with each entree order that is fantastic! While their drink prices have gone up a little bit, they are still more reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. I always order the French martini which is fantastic and a must try! If you come over the weekend, make sure you get there a little early because they are always packed for a reason. I will definitely keep coming back every time I visit Galena (which is often)! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite at the bar, amazing service, great drinks and pizza, outdoor patio looks very nice.

Excellence pizza and service. Ambiance was great too. Had the cheese pizza, excellent. The beer nuggets and salad were part of the deal. Great stuff. read more

Stopped in here for lunch on a Friday. Immediately were seated and the service tended to us right away. The overall a great experience. The salad that came with the pizza had a raspberry dressing, which is my favorite. Pizza also came with complimentary beer nuggets. Plenty of TVs for sports, which is hard to find in that town. Would go back read more

Amazing place with great food. Great atmosphere and amazing service. We had a fantastic lunch and we loved the pizza, beer nuggets, salad and Bloody Mary! I've been ever time I go to galena and will keep coming back. read more

Out in Galena for the day with our granddaughter, looking for a nice sit-down place with a variety. I ordered the Famous Gyro plate, yum with fries. My wife had the Chef salad and our granddaughter went for the bacon cheese burger. Can't go wrong choices, great prices and fast service for midday midweek. You're on our list of places to go to for a break from everyone else. read more

Great service, drinks & beers. Would definitely come back, sat outside with our service dog and enjoyed it.

*Card surcharge alert. 3.5%* Yelp! recommended. Stopped in early Saturday afternoon and they could seat a party of eight. Pretty wide menu with a few points of emphasis. 1) Beer nuggets! It's certainly a niche food for Northern Illinois. They have them and they are fantastic. 2) Marinara sauce. One of the best I've ever had. 3) Burgers. Two of the party had burgers and really talked them up. Other items ordered were beef nachos , which is big enough for two or three people. Calzone. $20 is a bit much for what you get, but you do get more marinara, so it is worth it. All in all, a very nice place to hit while you are cruising around downtown. I recommend. I don't do the surcharge practice, so will be trying out other places next time around. read more

We walked in and were immediately met with a line of people and no host. We sat outside and there were birds just far enough to not poop over our table.. a feather did happen to fall in my drink. Dirty cups and mediocre food. The beer nuggets are pretty good though. read more

Fun stop! & we had amazing service! Autumn is great at her job! Welcoming & friendly. Knowledgeable. Quick. Literally made our day(:

Has outdoor seating, lots of seating inside as well so we did not have to wait for an available table on Saturday afternoon. Service was great. They have an amazing selection of cocktails and drinks. Food was good we shared a pizza and appetizer. They offer family style salad and beer nuggets with entrees ordered. read more

Brick oven meat lovers pizza was great comes with salad & beer nuggets. Yummy. We will eat here again

Ok. Not great. Stopped in around 4 PM during the holiday week. We were seated right away and the place was quite crowded. Server was ok, efficient but not overly friendly. The pizza automatically comes with a family style salad (best part of the meal, IMO) and garlic bread nuggets (served barely warm and no real flavor though the marinara was excellent!). Pizza was ok - nothing special. Finally, what's the deal with packaged napkins/silverware along with paper plates. Is it too hard to use silverware and regular plates now? I wish I could say that we loved it here but truth is it was only average. read more

When you walk in the door and the smell blasts you in the face of authentic home cooked Italian food, you know you've come to the right place. Add in a Server who has an awesome attitude and provides excellent customer service and I can't find one thing to complain about. Top it all off with complimentary salad and beer nuggets while waiting for your pizza and this restaurant is a giant step ahead of its competition. My only gripe is there isn't one close to my hometown. read more

Service was fast on the late Sunday evening but the bar was packed with regulars fantastic place to dine if in the area

This is a great spot to visit in Galena for some bar food! Our large party of 8 stopped by on a Saturday around 5 and were seated immediately. Get here early if you don't want to wait awhile- it was already packed by 5! We started with some impressive-tasting dirty martinis. We love that the beer nuggets (essentially pieces of garlic bread) and house salad come with every meal! The portions are generous. I ordered the gyro platter with chili. Chili was seasoned well and the gyro was A-ok, nothing phenomenal. Husband ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with fries. Fries were soggy, but he enjoyed the burger. Service was good- especially for being upstairs. We'll recommend this place to anyone visiting the area! read more

Really good pizza. Had the Italian beef pizza with garlic sauce. Sooo good. Served with a salad (raspberry vinaigrette and feta yum) and fresh hot bread knots. Great and friendly service too. read more

Love this place! Great food, especially the chicken tortilla soup. Service is incredibly fast and super friendly!

Can't tell you about the food My husband and I stopped to see if we could sit out side with our little dog. He is a service but because I didn't have my paperwork only a service tag on the dogs leash we were turned away. There was only 1 restaurant that allowed us in or out. I understand places not allowing dogs inside but when you have an outdoor seating why. I saw the sign stating NO DOGS ALLOWED except service dogs. Well you lost your chance. We spent plenty at another restaurant that accommodated us. read more

Food was great, but don't order the soup! They only give you half of a styrofoam cup for a SIX dollar bowl! Asked why it was only a portion and was SO small and was told "that's the way it comes". Ridiculous. read more

This place is pretty cool... we ordered the pizza, which was A-OK. I judge a pizza based on how good the leftovers were, and they weren't that great. I ordered the Robes Cajun Chicken sandwich which, according to our server, is the same as the other sandwiches they had to offer, just different spices. The chicken patty was somewhat thin, but it did span the entire bread, which I appreciated. No sense in a bite of nothing but bread. All entrees come with a giant salad with a raspberry vinaigrette and beer nuggets, which are fluffy bitesized bread sticks, which were great. Service was good, the ambiance fitted right for a sports bar vibe, and overall worth checking out. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located on the back of the bar, the bathrooms here were super-tiny. Open the door, and if there's already two people in there, you might get claustrophobic. One cramped urinal and stall, with a tiny sink. Sit or squat? Squat. read more

Gobbie's is a great place to eat outside and drink if you want to lose an afternoon in Galena. The outdoor patio is huge and much of it is covered. The Italian Beef is superb and stands up to anything you will find in Chicago. It is also huge. Entrees also come with a big bowl of salad and some kind of fried dough with marinara sauce. The salad is surprisingly good, as is the marinara. So keep that in mind before you order an appetizer. Its tons of food. They have an extensive array of rum concoctions which are in the $8 range, and come out in a pint glass. If you order an old fashioned, it too is oversized, and comes out in a massive rocks glass. Servers are very friendly and chill, you will not be rushed. Get your drink on and fill your belly for pennies on the dollar. read more

We picked Gobbie's because we were looking for a quick bite on our way out of Galena that had outdoor dining and burgers. The patio was really nice, with lots of shade, and the waitress was great although she seemed very rushed and busy. The nachos were very good, the burger was decent, and the fries were delicious. Our meals came with "beer nuggets," fried dough with marinara, and the house salad. It was all very good. We will definitely keep them in mind next time we're in Galena. read more

Had Cajun chicken and chicken mozzarella on French bread. You could not taste the Cajun seasoning. They both come on French bread that they cut into two parts, the problem is the chicken was only big enough for one side. Lots of left over bread! Server was not attentive. We actually had to ask another waitress for napkins. read more

This is the best place in Galena to go! Good pub food! Great people. Good staff. Surprised they that had pizza nuggets.

Wow, could not have asked for such better great service as we received for dinner. Autumn, our waitress was so amazing, great personality and great service with a smile. Autumn checked on our table table several times and regardless that the food was so good, her service was above and beyond!. Although having a great Greek Salad, the table next to us had nachos that was like a mound of yummy nachos. Then they had a pizza pie that looked and smelled so great...next time! Anyhow if you visit here, ask for Autumn and you'll be treated awesome. read more

This was a great place for lunch! The food was great and so was our server. The beer nuggets are a must!

Gyro platter, watch out for bugs in your food!!! We ordered to go and found a surprise under the gyro meat. This bug blended into the pita so hoping none of us actually ate one since we ordered 3 of these. We've been long time visitors of Gobbies and normally gyros come with the meat piled high but this time we each got 5-6 pieces of meat, it was very skinny for a $14 gyro. Also the to go experience was not super pleasant. We had to wait at the bar like 5 inches from another customer who had no mask on because he was drinking his beer. Very disappointed Gobbies isn't being more careful with Covid and with the bug in the food, I probably won't be coming back here for a long while until hopefully they get their act together. Beer nuggets were still good though. read more

Not really much of a sports bar, more a nostalgia kinda pizza place. Pizza was v good. Definitely worth the stop. Another friend had the french dip and it was huge! She said it was awesome. Would definitely visit here again. read more

Typical American entertainment establishment. Nothing good on the menu. The owner should take time off and self-reflect on his little tyrant attitude towards customers and staff. Uncomfortable, we canceled our orders and left. read more

Pizza was good. Service was a little slow to take order and bring drinks. Salad and the bread were nice touches.

Spectacular waiter Jake helped us out this evening, he was very attentive and fast with food and drinks. Only comment would be that it was pretty chilly in the building. Would definitely recommend to others! read more
