“I moved to SCS 5 months ago and have never been here before. My family and I have tried carryout from several restaurants and we always end up with Gilbert’s. Great food, service & prices. I had my daughters 1st birthday in their banquet room yesterday and I’m over the moon happy with how it turned out! The staff was super helpful and always around when I needed anything. The food was great, my guests raved about the pizza and spinach dip. I would book events here in the future without a doubt. Look no further for a great American cuisine menu and staff that makes you feel like family!“

“We we're going down Jefferson and we saw the sign so we decided to pull in.
As you walk in Zefs it gives you a good vibe. We made our way to the host station, found out they have an upstairs. The upstairs does have a limited menu so we wanted to try the full menu, considering it was our first time there. They sat us next to the big garage doors with lots of windows. So it was nice you could see out to the water and look at all the boats. We ordered mixed drinks. She got a sun kiss something. An I got a peach drink, both were really good. Then we ordered the pretzel bites which were delicious, had a Blanco cheese sauce. Yummy not to spicy good texture. Then we ordered something we try everywhere, French onion soup. It was good but, it was really heavily seasoned. For me to much. It was nice that they were not rushing us and they were very attentive. So we ordered our entree's next. I had a hamburger which was good. Nothing special to be honest. Was juicy good flavor had Gouda and bacon. My wife ordered the surf and turf. Was a 12 oz sirloin with lobster pieces and shrimp. Said market price on that. Her steak was cooked perfectly, so was the shrimp. There were like crumbles of lobster between the shrimp and steak. And 4 pieces of shrimp. She liked it. Although she liked it. Considering it was $68 she said it wasn't worth. She'd rather get the lobster and steak from longhorn for $40. But all said and done everything was really good and we enjoyed it. Well definitely go back.“
