Restaurants in Gilroy

“What an amazing experience. The cuisine was superb. It is the very best place I have ever eaten out at.”

“Liked it. Good good, friendly customer service”

“Had lunch here today and it was PERFECT! I wish I could remember our server's name, he was attentive, quick, kind and really added to the experience. The food was delicious; I had the Hamburger salad (salad with perfectly seasoned burger patties with cheese, pickles, tomatoes, "melted onions") and my friend had a burger that comes with fries and salad and looked like it was right out of a magazine photo shoot. We both asked for small changes and we got cheerful assurance that it would be no problem and our orders were perfect. So many delicious looking things on the menu, can't wait to go back and try more!”

“Located on a strip mall, looking nondescript from the outside. Plenty of room inside. We came on a Monday morning, place being almost empty. Quick and friendly service, your common breakfast menu. Good coffee, fair prices. Recommended.”

“Loved the beer and the outdoor Or seating in the front AND the back. Friendly and helpful staff. Sampler was great. And you can take home what you like! Beer only but there are great take out places around. Kid friendly and pet friendly as well. Clean bathroom too”

“Coming from someone who loves Japanese food and culture Ten Japan is it! The restaurant portrays that of what small restaurants in Japan are like and I love that about it. The ramen is really good as well as the sushi! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat in town and I would argue is the best sushi in town too!”

“Great way to enjoy an afternoon for two on the patio.”

“Great wine and great people”

“This wonderful Sushi and Japanese restaurant is the best in the entire South Bay! It has been there for over 20 years! Super fresh top-grade fish only, daily specials, the best appetizers, excellent very cold Beers on tap, many specialty drinks, and delicious sakes! Very reasonable prices too....
Big screen HD TVs everywhere.”

“Beautiful setting, chill music, an eclectic set of wines, all enjoyable. Cindy was a lovely host. We shared a tasting ($20) and ordered a glass of the grenache afterwards.”

“This is a great winery, tucked away in Gilroy! The owner/winemaker is very knowledgeable about Rhone-style wines and has a degree from UC Davis. No big fruit bombs here! Very highly recommended.”

“After my motorcycle lessons at Gavilan College, I stopped by and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing menu. I tried a Pacific Dopeness on tap along with the chicken satay. The service and quality were top-notch! I will definitely return for dinner next time.”

“Fresh and creative rolls with sweet , crunchy and spicy 🌶️ options galore . Teriyaki salmon 🍣 bowl for the kids was tasty and fresh , not too sweet , and generally good . Miso soup was tasty , and the cocktail I had was delicious. We will be back !”

“Dear Kirigin Cellars Team, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you, not just for your consistently outstanding wines, but for the remarkable kindness and attentiveness of your staff. During a recent visit, I decided to ask /for just in case/—about a pair of sunglasses I lost nearly six months ago. These weren’t just any sunglasses; they were a gift from my wife, and I’d resigned myself to the idea that they were gone for good. To my amazement, I was kindly directed to your lost and found shelf, and there they were—just waiting. It was a small miracle made possible by the thoughtful care of your team. It’s moments like these that show how special Kirigin Cellars truly is. The quality of your wines is matched only by the character of the people who represent you. Thank you for being exceptional in every way. Warmest regards, Gen”

“This is my aunts favorite pizza place. I love that I can order her one and have it delivered with a personalized message. Living in Florida it can be hard to surprise her, and this works every time. Ya'll are a Gilroy staple, I remember having Straw Hat pizza as a kid and loving it. Keep up the great work. I look forward to ordering again. I F.L.Y. StrawHat Pizza Gilroy”

“Great selection of beer and local wines, but the surprise is the food, which is excellent. You order at the bar and they bring the food to you. The 4 stars is simply because they were too slow to take the order. Would definitely recommend this lively place if you are in the Gilroy downtown area.”

“Fernwood Cellars is a must for all. 6 generations that all take joy in sharing their legacy through wine and food . There is a wonderful saying; “ BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD “ Fernwood is beauty personified.. It’s a must!!!”

“The food was cooked well but bland on the seasoning. Our server, Laurel, was a sweetheart and very kind. They had a band that played good music, and the atmosphere was great.”

“All of it. Food, excellent service. Nice mood.”

“Great food”

“This place represents Gilroy as well as any other place downtown. Between bartenders union and pour me taproom, the district theater should have dancers coming for years…”

“our 2 grandsons Loved it there! The young lady working there was very kind and helpful. Game area was clean n bathroom was were also”

“El Michoacano Restaurant truly impressed me with its generous portions and flavorful dishes. The seafood and meats are delicious, and the servings are big enough to satisfy even the hungriest appetite.

The shrimp burrito ahumado (wet) is seasoned to perfection, with shrimp cooked just right, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The carne asada burrito is massive, and every bite fills your entire mouth. Fair warning: it requires plenty of jaw action, but it is absolutely worth it. Yum.

When I cannot decide what to order, the two item combo with a chicken enchilada and crunchy beef taco hits the spot every time. The beans taste just like Nana used to make: refried, creamy, perfectly salted, and seasoned with all the right spices. The rice is juicy, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with everything on the plate.

Overall, I left with that pleasantly plump and satisfied feeling after a great meal. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for relaxed and enjoyable conversation. A wonderful spot I am excited to return to to try their monster drink cocktail menu and more seafood.”

“Great pizza.”

“Got there about 11:40 am, and they were getting ready for the day. The manager came out and sat me at a table. He was very courteous and professional put a warm smile. The chickens and potato wedges was on the too cooked side but still good. The servers came several times to check on my experience and see if I needed anything which is a plus. Overall good place and clean dining area to eat. Very chill vibes.”

“pineapple chicken curry is my go to and it's delicious every single time. 5 ⭐ the staff is extremely friendly and ALL the food is extremely savory.”

“My first chance to return to California in 3+ years. There are thousands awaiting a first store opening in Albuquerque where they will be a sure success. That said I found my burger and fries not to stack up so well at the higher prices now prevailing. I believe the competitive offerings from the other long-time competing chains have made notable strides up the price/performance curve -- especially important for we seniors who are pretty dependent on discounts whenever and wherever we are able to get out and sbout.”

“Leider war unser Besuch alles andere als angenehm. Wir hatten einen Platz im Schatten reserviert. Kamen an und bekamen erst mal eine Platz direkt in der Sonne zugeteilt. Wir dachten uns, naja, hilft ja nichts. Dann ging das Warten los. Wir saßen 25 Minuten in der prallen Sonne, ohne auch nur beachtet zu werden. Nach uns kommende Gäste wieder bedient, wir hatten weder Schatten noch Getränke. Irgendwann wurde ein Schattenplatz frei. Den schnappten wir uns dann. Und nach insgesamt 35 Minuten konnten wir auch endlich unsere Getränke bestellen (kurzzeitig waren wir schon am Überlegen lieber zum goldenen M zu fahren) Wir bestellten als zeitgleich Getränke und essen. Essen kam dann auch. Nur leider hatten wir kein Bedteck. Also wieder warten. Nach dem wir leicht angsäuert waren, genossen wir aber das leckere Essen. Die restlichen Pizza gaben wir der Bedienung zum einpacken. Wir bezahlten und warteten wieder - auf die eingepackte Pizza. Irgendwann ging mein Mann nach oben zur Theke, wo die Bedienung stand und Besteck abtrocknen. Auf unsere Frage wo denn die Pizza sei, "oh die hab ich ganz vergessen, da drüben steht sie" Naja ist halt alles andre als gut gelaufen an diesem Tag. Aber das Essen war wirklich lecker.”

“The best BBQ I’ve ever had. Might be the best kept secret in Norcal. Ribs were so tender, chicken was amazing. Garlic butter bread was the icing on the cake 👌🏽”

“Hands down; our favorite burger place in Gilroy!..... Hope they decide to get Doordash or Uber eats as an option soon'!”

“I would like more icing on the donuts. Otherwise, very good!
The breakfast sandwich had a slight after taste, maybe old oil? I would have liked some kind of sauce on it, too. Otherwise, very good also!”

“They have this pretzel cookie and oh my word!! Is amazing!! The cookies are soft and sooo good. I have moved from Oklahoma and this place is so amazing!!”

“Such a wonderful place! Great to have them here! Love the falafel plate and many choices. Also have many cooking supplies for the home chef, so great! Don’t miss this nice store and proprietor.”

“We LOVE Gilroy donut house! Their donuts are big and light and there’s always a good selection when we go in the mornings. It’s very 80’s and they only accept cash but it’s part of their charm!”

“The food was good, but nothing to brag about, just what you would expect from a slightly higher priced fast food place. The teller was very friendly, though, and went out of her way to make you feel comfortable.”

“Heavenly bagel and cream cheese! Their bagels were so spongy and soft yet crunchy outside. Cream cheese full of flavor. We got Garlic bagel with Jalapeño cream cheese. It was delicious!”

“On our way back from San jose for medical reasons we always stop for breakfast and our way back home to hollister we decided to look for something different. We saw the reviews and decided. Why not
We weren't to sure as we drove up, the parking was plentiful and easy to access with plenty of spaces. Walked inside and you can tell that its a newer restaurant .
Very clean and open. Restroom very clean and serviced. Ordered bacon and eggs with a side of biscuits and gravy. Wife had very berry waffles. . The food was hot and very well presented. The gravy was fantastic and the biscuits where fresh. Eggs cooked to perfection and bacon was perfect. Wife loved the waffles and the service was exceptional.
Will definitely be going back. And won't wait
For a doctors appointment.”

“Went to the San Jose location. Their Pozole was 🔥. They had hella takeout orders. The San Jose had beautiful art. I look forward to going again.”

“Excelente servicio de las meseras”

“Enjoyed food and have returned several times they have an all you can eat lunch buffet im looking forward to try im sure it will be good everything I have tried has been delicious”

“Great beer choices and friendly staff. From the pictures, it looks like it might be more popular on weekends. We came on a weeknight, and there were not as many people. We found the furniture to be uncomfortable (metal high chairs with no back, and an unusually tall table with regular wooden chairs around it- it was awkward to sit at). It felt pretty bare, as far as decor and ambiance go.

But we DID like the beer! (They are on the Untappd app!)

You can walk down the street 1 block to Promised Land Brewery from here. That one has equally good beers and more ambiance (& comfortable chairs), but is much smaller.”

“Great delicious tasting food. Have eaten here a few times now trying different main dishes, appetizers and sides; they have all been delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful and were even kind enough to check what level of heat in the spices we preferred in our curry. We tried both the mango and malai Crown Kulfi ice creams today which were full of flavor and creamy. There’s lots of dishes to choose from including desserts. Highly recommend.”

“This place is a secret. If i could give it 10 stars i would. The service really sets it apart. Food is incredible. The people that run this long standing family establishment deserve statewide recognition”

“fast and friendly service. I'm definitely coming back again.”

“Place is clean and well maintained. Staff is friendly. Promptly greeted. I have loved Pizza My Heart since childhood. We would always get a slice when i would go to Capitola with my mom. The Watsonville Apple is my absolute favorite. The tartness of the green apple is such a great compliment to the savory of the other ingredients. So good. Some are a bit hesitant when thinking about apple on a pizza but those i have introduced to it, have always really liked it.”

“Great place good food love it!!!!”

“Finest chimichanga in this universe! 👌👅🌈”

“This is my go to for parties each year for my Halloween Bunco. Yesterday didn’t disappoint as the food was warm, delicious, & everyone enjoyed everything. My personal favorite is the Chinese Chicken Salad.”

“I typically dine here whn I visit my mom. The enchiladas are amazing. I found the meat to be too chewy in the Chile Colorado. I do miss the salsa bar that was available pre-covid! The service is always great!!”

“Great local small restaurant, food served is really tasty and the portions were large. When in the SF area we will be frequenting this awesome hole in the wall place.”

“Had a great experience shopping at Mamy’s very clean fruit stand today. Got all fresh fruits and the owners are very polite and friendly. Can’t wait to try the pink watermelon”

“Food is fantastic. Can't go wrong there. It is always busy, but can't complain because food is wort it. Itis more on the expensive side and be prepared to pay for everything separately, that's why O gave the 4 star instead of 5. Everything has an added charge apart from the expensive the food already is.”

“Amazing Venezuelan food made by great people. Highly recommend you try it! Her food is delicious!”

“Nothing but the best of everything quantity ,atmosphere ,friendliness , quality , everything but the kitchen sink ..oh wait they do have the kitchen sink on the menu!! Love these guys”

“Todas las pizzas 🍕 están muy buenas arina del día resiente echa”

“We spent the afternoon doing some wine tasting and relaxing under a gazebo. Such amazing tasting wine ( could be because it’s still processed in the traditional Italian way) and learning about the history of the family. ❤️❤️❤️ this place.”

“Only really tea / boba place in Gilroy. Their tea is consistent with the other happy lemon in other location and it’s not bad. It’s nice to have a freaking drink here after a long day of shopping the outlet”

I have the app but could not figure it out.Madison took the time to help me figure it out and now I will get my loyalty points 🥳”

“The food here was great! Teriyaki style kabobs & white rice was delicious,rice cooked all the way through and not soggy,chickenwas tender and cooked well. Good amount of condiment choices,no sodas at this location so you have to get elsewhere nearby. The only complaints would be there's no shade to wait in line and the condiments were directly in the sun and the soy sauce foil type packets were burning hot!It was a lot of food two kabobs with rice or just two kabobs by themselves. We probably could've split one rice and kabobs for my husband and I. I think this place is the best quality and price for amount of food. The young men working there were all friendly and kind.”

The flavor and ingredients are excellent. My parents would hit up Super every time they came into town.
Prices are very reasonable”

“The staff were very nice and helpful. I took advantage of their Bogo offer through their app. I had them make make 1 tuna sandwich roasted as I was going to eat it that day. Then the other with all the fixings, but put the tuna in a soup cup so i can put it together the next day. This way the sandwich would not be all soggy and falling apart. They had no problem with doing that.”

“This is one of our favorite places to go for all meals. Staff is friendly and food is great. There is sometimes a wait but well worth it. It has been a while since we last went and everything was the same.”

“The passionfruit with lychee jelly was so good, calamari was very good as well... will go back for sure 😊”

We'll be back for sure to try those Bagle Dogs!!!!”

“I moved to the California recently and had yet to have really good pho like back home without having to go to a big city. I’ve tried some different places in the area and it was all ok but nothing was “just right” until I came here. It’s authentic and very nostalgic. I’ve found my spot and I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“The drive thru service was a pleasant experience with the order taker coming across as caring, polite, knowledgeable and proficient. The man acted like this was his place. Very professional.”

“Very friendly long wait but worth it”

“They were pretty busy but the staff was really nice and our order was just as to be expected. They all deserve a raise for being only 3 staff members on a busy night. The bathroom was clean and tidy.”

“The food I had was pretty good, they do have a lot of fried food.Which I try not to eat. Their sushi rolls were pretty good. My son and grandchildren definitely enjoyed the food”
