Gilben's Creations is a family-owned soul foodery that serves a variety of delicious dishes, including mouthwatering fried chicken and creamy mac and cheese. Their sandwich menu features unique options like the fried shrimp po' boy, packed with shrimp and served on toasted bread. The bakery section offers a range of sweet and savory treats, including sandwiches and baked desserts. The atmosphere is casual and rustic, with a mix of old-school and modern decor. Despite some issues with service, including long wait times and inefficient ordering, the food at Gilben's is unbeatable, especially when served fresh. The seafood hoagies, including the fried shrimp and fish po' boys, are standout options, with lightly battered and seasoned seafood served on toasted French rolls with a tangy rémoulade sauce. The bread used for cheesesteaks is heavenly—buttery with a hint of garlic. Customers highly recommend trying the chicken cheesesteaks and po' boys. While the sandwiches can be messy, they are worth the effort, and the prices range from $15 to $20 for a meal that can easily fill you up for a day. The restaurant displays its food buffet-style, so diners can see everything before choosing. The staff is very friendly, but seating is limited to a small bar top with two stools, making takeout a good option. Overall, Gilben's Creations is a hidden gem for soul food lovers, offering flavorful dishes and a welcoming atmosphere.
