    Enjoyable great meal with friends.
    Grannie F.

    Went to the Mother's Day brunch on Sunday. The food was delicious. Our server was outstanding. A very cute and cozy ambiance.

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

    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

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    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.

    California Benedict
    Rachel C.

    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!

    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.

    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!

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. They were closing soon, but we had enough time to order a round of craftly-made cocktails and beers to down quickly. It helps when your friend knows the bartender. Enter smiley face emoji here. 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.

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.

We'll definitely be back--thank you for creating such a kid-friendly and enjoyable place for families!

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!

The atmosphere is upbeat, bright, and welcoming with a really good energy whether you're stopping in for lunch, dinner, or meeting up with a larger group. The setup works especially well for groups since there's plenty of seating and the ordering process keeps things moving even when it's busy. One thing they do very well is efficiency without losing hospitality. They have both a dine-in ordering counter and a dedicated to-go counter, which seems necessary because this place stays packed. Even during busy times, the staff stays friendly, attentive, and organized. You can tell there's real attention paid to each order and that management understands how to run a smooth restaurant operation. The menu has a lot of solid choices whether you want something lighter, comforting, vegetarian, or protein-packed. Portions were satisfying, and the broccoli deserves its own mention -- somehow simple but absolutely addictive. My only real note is that pricing feels a little high for an order-at-the-counter style restaurant. That said, the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience do make it easier to justify once in a while.

    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.
