Restaurants in Gaylord

“We enjoyed a marvelous dinner and experience sitting at the bar and having Danielle as our bartender. It is so enjoyable to have a great night out with good food, good cocktails, and good service! Thank you for a memorable night out!”

“Food n Stuff will not disappoint! The food is fabulous and staff far surpasses most food establishments. We visited twice while in the area, the food fresh, creative and scrumptious! The rapport between staff and patrons was delightful beyond expectations. If ever in the area we will return!”

“Pine Squirrel was recommended to use by the Business Manager at Jim Weirnig. It did not disappoint. My pizza was cheesy and delicious. My husband had a specialty Sloppy Burger that he enjoyed. You have choice of chips or potato salad and he chose the potato salad and said it was very good. The service was amazing and it did not take long to get our food. We give this a 10 out of 10 ranking and highly recommend it.”

“As always, great food and great service. Today, Taylor was our waitperson and we couldn't have had better”

“My mom and I were just in to eat dinner on the 4th around 6:30pm we had the prime rib which was absolutely delicious. The appetizer was delicious and the drinks were ice cold. The highlight of it all was our server Sarah, she was very nice and her customer service was impeccable. we will definitely be back just from her service alone.”

“We stopped in for an early dinner while visiting the area. I was really looking forward to some potatoe soup and was disappointed to hear they had just ran out before we got there. I, on a whim, ordered the mushroom soup. Their mushroom soup was THE BEST soup I've ever had. It was so good that we will be making the 4 hour trip to eat it again next week.”

“Lori made the most beautiful cake for my daughter's wedding last Saturday. She was so helpful and pleasant to work with, even through multiple changes to the original order. The vintage piping was absolutely flawless. It was exactly like the inspo picture we had sent in. And it was DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend Sugar Me Sweet.”

“Nowicki’s sausages are a family favorite. We place orders to be shipped to California about once per year, unless I make a trip to Michigan, then i load up my suitcase up for the trip back. My favorite is Jalapeño Cheddar, my wife’s is BBQ honey, and my brother’s appears to be the Polish.”

“Fish on Friday been great 👍 every time I’ve had it”

The food was exceptionally good, our server took great care of us and we loved the warm atmosphere. I don't do a lot of reviews, but this place definitely deserves one! I highly recommend the Panino Al Manzo (beef brisket) and Casa del Amore salad. Both so flavorful! We will be back!”

“We traveled through Gaylord last Saturday Sept 24 with our BIG family and stopped in for lunch. I wanted to say that the 3 employee's working that day made our first visit to Five Guys very welcoming. They were so pleasant even tho we had alot of people to order at one time. Our food came out soooo quick and it was very good. Even tho it was very expensive it was amazing . The best part our girls are STILL talking about how good the burgers were!!!!!! My youngest says it's her favorite place to eat now. Wish we had one closer! Keep up the great work Gaylord location! We will be back when passing again!!”

Fast and friendly service as always! Thank you Kyle and staff for making sure your customers leave smiling and come back for more. You’re all doing an excellent job!”

“The taste of the beef, shrimp and chicken was superb in the rice with sauteed vegetables. The cherry margarita just topped it off. The waiters were quick and delightful with authentic music in the background. Would recommend this for a great date night.”

“They never ever fail me! 🤗”

“Great owners, great drinks and great customers. Always have a great time at Karma Taproom.”

“Gaylord Jets, Jessica, and the Team have been doing a great job. For the past 6 years when passing through on my way home, it's a must stop. Never a bad transaction and the pizza has always been awesome.”

“The employees at this location specifically are always so friendly and kind. I rarely leave reviews but I always stop at this location on my way up to school and every single time the people working here are so kind so I thought I’d leave a review.”

“Yummy”

“Absolutely amazing banana split drink. So far, every drink that I’ve had there was very good. I’m definitely going back to try some of the other drinks they make. Very friendly people. They always make my drinks to my specifications.”

“Amazing food made by an amazing family and team! 😋”

“Very good Thai food here. I tried the Pad Prik and it was very flavorful. Wonderful egg drop soup. Entree was a large portion. Quick service even though they were busy when we arrived (a Tuesday evening around 6:00). Very friendly wait staff. Easy parking. Highly recommend.”

“The service here was fast and the coffee was hot!!”

“This place is awesome! It's kind of like the bar in the sitcom Cheers. Friendly and everybody knows your name. The menu is incredible!
I also appreciate the attention to Gluten Free options. 😁”

“Passed inspection. No corrective action required at this time.

Highly recommend the Gaylord manager’s special. Thick meaty sausages, hand rubbed with secret sauce, stuffed in fresh fluffy buns, extra mayo. Delish.”

“Madison was our server during breakfast hours and she was incredible, very attentive, cracked jokes with the table, and always made sure are were full! If you come, ask for Madison!!”

“The wife and I are celebrating our 7th anniversary. We decided to order a pizza to go after our 2 mile walk. We read the reviews and decided to order a 12 inch meat lovers with extra pepperoni instead of hamburger with their regular crust and 4 plain bone in wings. Delicious crust, very meaty, and balanced sweet and tangy sauce. As pizza connoisseurs, we highly recommend them! Definitely a step way up from ANY of the national pizza chains.”

“Great food in authentic style, love clams, mussels and linguine”

“Service was great! Our server, Rob H., was exceptional. Always on the ball with getting things we needed, and when my order appeared to lack something it was suppose to have, he was quick to accommodate and get me something to make up for it. I ordered the California chicken salad which was on the 2 for 25 menu. Wasn't that great. Mostly romaine, and the avocado cucumber salsa seemed to lack avocado. It wasn't terrible, but probably wouldn't order again. The rest of my family's food seemed good tho, So food: 4 ⭐. Service by Rob: 5 ⭐!”

“The staff at Starbucks is always so nice and welcoming! ⭐️”

“my family stopped at this store on the way home from vacationing. the food was amazing but we loved our server,Sarah.she was so warm and friendly and radiates joy. my grandson said he wished we lived near here not just for the great food but because Sarah was so nice.”

“This place exceeded our expectations! The food was delicious and the portion sizes were huge. You definitely get plenty for your money. Caden was a fantastic server, friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. We’re so glad we decided to stop here and would absolutely come back next time we’re in Gaylord. Highly recommend!”

“It was good , some guy that was working there even helped my sister with her cup lid”

“Clean is a under statement this place was spotless!!! So clean the chairs squeaked off the floor . I tried the smoked brisket and it was excellent. Had the mind debate of getting another it was so good. Staff was right up to snuff (no issues )would take my family there again.”

“I only recommend Gaylord Qdoba because i love the food. I was in the restaurant Nov. 1, 2025 about 2 pm. The older lady at the register was dismissive, rude, never acknowledged me even though I tried to engage her. There was another young girl working next to her and she kept barking orders at her. you could tell she was nervous and anxious. the gentleman before me needed a cup of sour cream and the girl was putting my order together. this woman was huffing and puffing waiting for sour cream. Meanwhile it was sitting there right between them she could have easily grabbed it instead of leaning on the counter. I let this young girl know she could fill the sour cream and id wait. The entire experience has stayed with me and I'm up at 4 am writing a review because we need to do better. This poor girl was doing a good job but this woman was a horrible co worker. Encouragement and help go a long way. Team work and general compassion as well as a smile and hello can do amazing things.”

“Atmosphere was nice; the server taking our table, named Nathan, was pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed every step of the way. The food itself was also good and had little issues with the taste.”
