50 Best American Restaurants in Gilbert

“One of my favorite restaurants. Excellent food & service. Katie is a wonderful server. 5 thumbs up!!!!“

“It was our date night and the food was delicious!“

“From the moment we were seated, the service at Black Bear Diner in Gilbert exceeded expectations; and that was largely thanks to our server, Chase (Aiden). Despite managing a full section, he never made us feel rushed or overlooked. Quite the opposite—he took the time to make us feel genuinely welcome and at home. Chase was not only attentive but also clearly knowledgeable about the menu and options. He carried himself with a confidence that showed he takes pride in his work and truly cares about each guest’s experience. Watching him interact with other tables, it was obvious we weren’t the only ones who appreciated his excellent service—everyone seemed to enjoy his energy. As for the food: no complaints whatsoever. Both of our meals were hot, fresh, and delicious. Great portions, great flavors, and served exactly as ordered. All around, it was a great experience. If you’re heading to this location, I highly recommend asking for Chase, he’s a standout and made our visit even better.“

“I have been a wine member here for years. Love the wine tastings and always enjoy going in for the wine of the month. There is flexibility to change the tastings for a glass. I am hard of hearing with hearing aids but I can have conversations without struggling whether I am in the dining room or bar. I have great service from a number of servers which include Cade (very personable, makes you feel like you are the only person in the room), Mike (funny), Frank (funny, very knowledgeable of the membership and got me known about the member dinners!) and Greg (funny). I would dine with them all again and have. The wine bar is a fun atmosphere and you get to meet others while you are there. Ciera is new. I love the trivia she brings, knowledgeable of the wines and just very sweet. Stephanie has been there for years, knows her wines and has great suggestions. Greg is one of the managers and also works at the wine bar. He is funny, knows his wines and knows what I like and would not. Coopers Hawk is my go to for all occasions.“

“excellent service and food last night before our tickets to The Hale bravo to Harry the manager. loved the patio fire for dinner“

“Wildflower will hit every single time. I go to is the half and half. Potato soup, and BLT half sandwich. Their lemonades and other drink drinks are so good and it’s still late enough to get me through my workday. Close enough to my office where I can just walk!“

“We ordered takeout last night to support our local businesses. We live down the street and never eaten there before. It was delicious! Everyone was satisfied and truly enjoyed their meals. The burgers were amazing! Pickup was quick and easy. Keep up the amazing work! We'll be back again 🤩“

“first time visit and will repeat for sure.“

“Great food great staff everyone is super nice 👍“

“We love this place! It's always hopping on the weekends, especially after 9 AM, so it pays to come early. The servers are fantastic, personable, and attentive. The food is great and the peach ice tea is a favorite. They have a large covered, pet friendly patio with plenty of seating, and the indoor space in this beautiful old home is cozy and pleasant.“

“Love the large salads and friendly service! Nice craft beer selection Try to come see Todd whenever I am in town and he is working.“

“EVERYTHING!! Appetizers are great, pizzas are wonderful, burgers and sandwiches are fantastic, and above all, their special cocktails are so yummy! Can’t have just one!!😋😋😋“

“4/14/2024 Just had an amazing experience with our large group, celebrating my niece's graduation from nursing school. We rented the Heritage Room and it exceeded my expectations. Our server, Nikki (not sure how she spells it! I'm also a Niki and I know that there are 300 diff ways to spell it haha!) was outstanding. So unbelievably helpful, attentive and kind. She handled a group of 26 guests like it was a basic party of 8. She took care of each guest with ease and was quick to respond with food requests. Thanks again, Nikki!!!“

“It’s so good! The family eats here all the time!“

“The El Diablo burger was fantastic and the crispy chicken sandwich was amazing as well. Highly recommend!!“

“Awesome staff. Great food.“

“10/1/2022 just ate breakfast this morning. Had make your own breakfast. Sausage overcooked hard to eat even to cut. Looked darker. Haah brown overcooked. Both sides dark and brittle. Just breaks apart. Egg whites scramble still watery. My granddaughter same sausage patties. My wife same breakfast as mine same problems. We have eaten dinner there so many times. Just awesome. No problem. But this morning don't know. No more breakfast.“

“This our second take out order. The wife had surgery and isn't yet able to dine in, but both times we really liked the good food, the staff is friendly and accommodating. I can't wait to be able to dine in soon. Thank you“

“The food chefs kiss and 79 cent wings on Thursday can't get better. The decor looked like a dive bar and the chairs were not really comfortable but the floors were not sticky so that's a plus. Our server was okay but we had a table of 8 all women and 1 guy and she catered to him got him multiple drinks extra ranches while the rest of us women sat there with one drink the entire time, no refills. I ordered my dish with a side of Mac and cheese and it was not that great and tasted kinda soapy. But the main point was we were basically done with our meals and then she brought out my side. It was not even busy either so idk. But overall I'd go again for those wings!!!“

“Day one of vacation and we're already trying to figure out how many times we can come back! Delicious food, amazing service, and you can't beat the setting! 10/10 recommend finding this place no matter where you are in Arizona!“

“OHSO is great for large groups and very family friendly. We enjoyed the table tennis while waiting to be seated. The dog friendly patio is so fun.“

“Really enjoyed the service and the atmosphere. Everyone was welcoming. Soup, chopped salad and crab cake were awesome. Spicy seafood pasta dish was very heavy. Probably won't order it again but we will go back and try some other dishes.“

“We just flew into the state and were tired and hungry. This place just hit the spot. Good food, super welcoming atmosphere and the prices were fair. Kellie was our waitress and she joked around with our kids and made us all feel so comfortable. If we are ever out here visiting again we will definitely come back!“

“Great food and service was awesome!“

“Drive thru I can pick up my order without getting out from my car.“

“The toasted, seasoned bread and the array of flavors in each sandwich are truly incredible. Everything is delicious and prepared fresh. We love the inviting atmosphere, from the creative names of the sandwiches to the unique calling cards instead of typical plastic numbers. It’s fantastic! Additionally, there's a bar offering refreshing local beers to enhance your experience.“

“Close by, great employee service, very good food. Happy hour has a large number of regulars, and I am one of them.“

“First time there. Restaurant was very nice and clean. Our waiter was awesome, the atmosphere was very pleasant and a nice family place. Food overall was mid. I ordered eggs benedict - the whites on my egg were so runny/raw, instead of ham steak they used sliced ham which wasn't even fried it was cold on top of the english muffin, the sauce was good but overall the best part of the meal was the potatoes which were warm and good., the eggs/ham were room temp if even that. My daughter took me for brunch she likes the place, I wanted to go to a diner, she chose there - I am not a fan. Presentation of the food was nice, but i like my food warm/hot that plate felt like it was sitting there before i was served.“

“Dinner was average, overpriced, onion ring taste like they were cooked in old grease, wait staff extremely rude, drinks were so small (half the size of a regular short) and bathrooms were filthy! Kids everywhere! not that I don't like kids but not at a sports bar on a Saturday night. Not going back and do not recommend.“

“Happen to stop in for lunch one day what a pleasant surprise. Very friendly staff and bartender. Club sandwich was great. Will be back on Sunday to watch FB. Highly recommend“

“Great atmosphere, great drinks… friendly and welcoming staff“

“The owners are nasty ppl that are literally stealing from guests. The "cash discount" is the guest paying the transaction fees. However, they're charging you for debit card transactions that dont exist. They are pocketing that money! They treat employees like garbage, and the kitchen is FILTHY!!!!!! MO NEEDS TO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST.“

“I took my mother there for brunch and we absolutely loved it! The food is delicious. The vibe lives up to its name, very cozy and quaint. The staff is amazing. We truly enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend this spot and not just because it holds my namesake, “Nook”!🤗“

“Excellent quality of freshly made food. Cooked per order, just like Mom would make. Very friendly staff.“

“First time consumer here and on Mother’s Day. I ordered the mimosa flight with chips and salsa. The server and the bartender were very kind and courteous. Downfall, it took a significant amount of time just to place an order for the drinks and then to receive the drinks. Received a glass of water but with the heat - the temperature of the water changed quickly. The server was kind enough to brink be a bigger glass with more ice and water. It was at least 100 outside - the misters were not turned on. That coupled with the time it took for me to receive the mimosa flights and the temperature of the mimosas- I will not be a return customer. **Update - when I arrived there were only 4 other patrons. And my food and drink order still took quite a long time. I had to ask for water glass. Then ask for glass with ice water. The bartender must be a novice - he had to keep looking at something while putting together the mimosa flight - the champagne should have been chilled and was not! Soo many issues now that I am thinking more on my encounter.“

“So sorry to hear that they are closing Aug 22nd. Great food, great staff.“

“Ranelle was our server and what an incredible person. Spot on. The food was amazing. Definitely will be back“

“We showed up on a late sunday morning. The service from the hostess to the bar area to the restaurant were above and beyond. we went early to secure a table for a large party. They set us early and did not mind that our people were fifteen minutes behind us. I've never run into that before...wow. food is always good. Drinks are amazing. Service is beyond. Recommend.“

“We have been going to Texas Roadhouse next store for years. But for a long while we had to send it back, almost every visit. Usually raw and bland. So finally we had enough, and tried Applebee's.

We tried the back menu 2 meal specials. I was surprised. Been going only here now for the last few months. For over 1/3 less price.

1. Sirloin flavor and texture way better.
2. The side salad twice as big.
3. 2 sides not one. They all taste better as well.
4. Bonus. Their salmon has always been awesome. Better than Pita Jungle at the movie theater. And cheaper too.

Only thing Texas roadhouse had that I miss was the prime rib and rolls. But my wallet seems very happy now. I always leave this Applebee's feeling satisfied. Look on the back of the menu.“

“We visited for a cornhole tournament, enjoying the food, drinks, and the company while watching a bit of the hockey practice as an added bonus! Service was excellent even with 40 extra people hanging around for Cornhole. On a super-hot day, it was fun to have a cool environment to play in!“

“Excellent service and food. Fun , friendly atmosphere, with great bands 👍“

“Wow, I was on my way to Lowe’s and saw this hot dog place in the same parking lot and figured I would give it a try. Just had a great dog. Went with the Mugsy Dog and tater tots ( they have fries) . Had diced onions, tomatoes and relish. Just awesome.“

“Brunch with Mrs. V. @ one of our fave brunch eateries in downtown Gilbert. Frannie ordered the Chili Verde Benedict which she described as absolutely amazingly. I ordered Juan’s Breakfast Tacos (My go to) which had flavor for days. A beautiful Fall day, 85° and sunny, provided perfect weather for outdoor seating. Our server, Camille, was extraordinarily friendly, and engaging. The GM, Mariam visited our table and presented us with a complimentary cinnamon roll pancake (off their “secret” menu) courtesy of Camille, which was incredibly thoughtful and delicious. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“It had been a while since we went to B-Dubs, but the gift card and Friday specials like $5 margaritas and chips made it an easy pick. The food was tasty and portions were big, with most of us taking leftovers home. The vibe was your usual sports bar setup with lots of TVs, and the trivia game on the big screen was a fun touch.“

“Fast, friendly service! Love the dancing also!!“

“Party of 11 waiting 35min for a table. A wide range of excuses provided which was directed toward another table of a transient seater. Hostess team was very snide and unwelcoming. Other excuses included a spilled beverage, and to find a server for our table. So, we left. Not cool guys, not cool.“

“We went in Father’s day last week and our servers name was Tehya. We had fantastic service with great food and drinks. We come here very often due to the enjoyable an environment and staff. I recommend this place to all my friends constantly. Always will give a 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, and most importantly, the service was outstanding. Our server, Mirieth, was absolutely excellent — friendly, attentive, and very professional. She made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Her warm and welcoming attitude really made a difference. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
🥳“

“Food was so good! Came out in a very timely manner. Our server was Anthony he was so kind and very helpful. The servers were so nice to all the children that were apart of our party. 10/10 shout out to management. I was missing some food and he very quickly fixed it.“

“Just ate with our Grandson and we had a Great time. Hubby got the meatloaf and Loved it! Our Grandson and I ordered the largest pancake (Blueberry) We all left Stuffed! Thanks for another great experience“
