Gilben's Smokehouse offers a delicious soul food experience. The menu features mouthwatering dishes, such as the fish platter with mac and cheese, yams, and greens, and the teriyaki chicken with stuffing and cabbage as sides. The food is well-seasoned, with good flavor and balance. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, with great service from the staff. The owner and cooks prepare each dish with love and care, making it a great spot for soul food cravings. Customers praise the portion sizes and the flavorful turkey wings, stuffed salmon, and BBQ chicken, along with the heavenly bread used for cheesesteaks. However, some reviews warn about issues with food quality, especially with greens that can be salty and sides that may not be cooked properly, including tough greens, hard yams, and soggy macaroni. The cornbread and bread for cheesesteaks are highly recommended. Customers note that arriving earlier can ensure getting all menu items before they sell out. Overall, Gilben's Smokehouse offers tasty soul food, but consistency in quality is important for repeat visits.
