29 Best American Restaurants in Gilbert

“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.“

“Super friendly staff. Great open vibe. We've been a couple times and have had burgers, pizza and apps. All were great. It's kind of tucked away behind top gold so maybe that means its slightly less busy? Even so, it was busy on Saturday.“

“Everyone at this location is incredible and very nice. The tall blondish guy and the short brunette manager, who often has her hair in a braid or up, provide amazing service. My only complaint is that I have visited about 5 Wildflowers across Arizona, and this location by far has the worst Mango Thai Lemonade I have ever tasted. I am quite confused, as the ones I have tried are sweet, and this one is very sour and almost bitter. I think that they need to look into this, as I know a lot of people, myself included, love the Mango lemonade. Aside from that, the staff and service here are great!“

“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.“

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

“Great atmosphere and we had the best server! (Tall blonde gentleman) I can’t recall his name but he was awesome!! Food was delish, too!“

“I had come here with a girl friend I hadn't seen in years & our waitress was Savoi.(I'm probably spelling that wrong & I am SO sorry!!) Savoi was kind, helpful, hilarious, attentive, and just truly made our little reunion perfect! Said friend & I met up at Egg N' Joe again a couple months later in hopes that we would have her again as a waitress & to our surprise we did! She remembered us, asked us how we were doing, remembered what drink we had last time and kept em comin'! Literal perfect service! Also the food here is delicious! The fruit is fresh, the lavender lemonade is to die for, it's a cute little resteraunt and super clean. Savoi really just made us feel comfortable and not like just customers you have to deal with. She provided a very friendly vibe & she is the reason we have come back & will continue to come back. Thanks so much for being amazing! Customer Service 10/10 Food 9.9/10 :)“

“I eat here whenever I come to town , great food , wonderful service, and always a memorable experience.“

“Great food great staff everyone is super nice 👍“

“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.“

“food was great. service was fast and no hiccups with our orders. six of us. enjoyed everything.“

“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!“

“Amazing experience tonight. Outstanding service from Ashley as is always the case. This season's restaurant menu was absolutely fabulous! Each option was fantastic and the appetizer options were some of the best ever. Thank you for a wonderful evening! We will try to be back before restaurant week ends.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“The food was very tasty, if a tad expensive but Hey, its Gilbert!, but the rosewood burger was cooked to perfection, and juicy. The drinks were inventive and delicious and reasonably priced! 10$-16$ range.
Tayten was very helpful, attentive and friendly and even the Manager in Training I think he said his name was Mitch? Checked on us as well. Overall, we had a lovely time there and will definitely return!
My only comments would be the gameballs should be 4 servings instead of 3, so that you dont have to order 2 for a 4 top and 2, we all know theres a credit card service fee. Its a bit confusing seeing 2 prices though. I say Add the fee, only show the 1 price and if someone pays in cash, give them a Discount. That way people dont take the percentage out of the servers tips (We did not! Tipped on the card price not the cash price, Tayten Earned her tip and isnt the bank 😉) and wont have any surprises at the end of a great night!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We came here from Tucson for some bloody Mary’s and Cannoli Donuts and the service was great. Our waiter William was amazing he went above and beyond to get us what we needed. He was very responsive and had a blast making the kids laugh too.“

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

“The service-very good, the staff were so friendly. The Food was good, everything flavorful and cooked well. The outside was pretty and welcoming and the inside was Very clean, including the bathrooms.“

“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.“
