Above average small town bar and grill with exceptional staff.
The place is very well maintained.
Food was pretty good bar food with a good enough selection.

Where to start.... *sigh* First, we had to go up and get our own drinks, at no point did anyone ever take a drink order from us unless we were up at the bar ordering it ourselves. Second, our table ordered food, wings, fries, an egg burger, and the munchie basket. The waiter came back to our table after leaving to put our order in and told us that the munchie basket was no longer available for the day so we ordered the loaded nachos and a kids chicken strip basket for my 3 year old. My significant other asked for a bloody msry at this time. Our friends' food came, the wings, fries, and the egg burger, but not our food, nothing was communicated to us about our loaded nacho and kids strip. I went up and got the bloody mary that my significant other had ordered maybe 10 min prior that never came, ordered myself one and got a Shirley temple for my daughter and brought it back to the table. maybe 20 min passed and we our party was dond with their food and we were still waiting for ours. Still nothing from staff. No updates on our order, no checking in on our table. So I went up to the bar and asked about our loaded nacho and kids chicken strip basket and stayed that it had been a "hot minute" sunce we ordered and was met with a "it aint my problem" type attitude from our waiter. He told me because it was put in later that was why it was taking a long time. Keep in kind, when we initially ordered our munchie basket that wasn't available, it was at the same time the rest of our table ordered. There was no apology or willingness to wven try to expedite our order. We waited maybe another 20 minutes and where finally like, they just need to cancel our order so my significant other went to find someone to cancel the order because we were going to leave. We got there at 5pm ish and left at 645 without food. My 3 year old followed my significant other and while my sig other was trying to figure out our food situation, my 3 year old took a couple pool table balls from a game and messed with them. The girl, Channa (i believe), was fairly aggressive about the ball situation and was like "Are you going to pay for our $3 pool game?" My sig other walked away from her and was like "no I'm not" because the situation wouldnt have been a situation had our order been taken care of like it should. I defended my kid and used an expletive regarding her and her aggression towards my 3 year old child. We finished our last drink (which we had to go get) and as we were finishing up the waitress that was working came up and got into my significant others face and agressively told him that she was "willing to be apologetic" regarding our food situation but that we owed the aggressive chick (Channa) money for pool. I stepped in. 1) We NEVER received an update regarding our food order. In fact, supposedly it was cancelled before we even went to cancel it and NOTHING was communicated to us. 2) Had we had our food this whole situation would have been avoided because ky significant other wouldn't have had to find someone to cancel our order. 3) We NEVER received any type of apology regarding our food order or the delay in our food order or the the fact that what we originally ordered was not available. 4) I asked for the waitress's name and got told, verbatim, "don't worry about it".
We waited and were cordial and understanding until we weren't met with the same. My child was attacked and then we were attacked by staff. This establishment is not a jam. I 100% do not recommend.

Our waiter wasn’t very customer friendly. He did the bare minimum and when it was time to pay we had to go up to the counter and pay for our food.
The food was alright, we would come back for a second attempt.

My group ate here Friday night and again on Saturday. Friday's service was slow but Saturday was worse. 3 persons ordered burgers that took over an hour and a half! When the waitress was asked about the delay we were told "there's the owner, talk to her!" "We've been busy." ( There were maybe 10-12 people in the place. No apology, just a ride reply. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable for a business serving the public. But, on the positive side, there are other places to eat in Garretson with great food and friendly service. Give The Gulch a pass!!
The staff is great, and they get to know their patrons personally. Tasty food, they offer a standard weekday food special as well as rotation of weekend specials that are fun to look forward to. The Gulch offers takeout for the non-special menu items. Good when you are on the go. Service attention and food cook time vary quite a bit by how busy the place is, but that is like any other establishment. Set reasonable expectations. After 5 pm, it starts to get busy and sometimes loud. It is a favorite place to chill to classic rock, watch sports, and other TV, hang out with friends or family, shoot pool, toss darts, play video lottery, listen to occasional live music, and have some great food and drinks. I love the wings, grilled chicken salad, pizza, loaded nachos, munchie basket, sweet potato fries, Gulch Burger, and deli club. Most regular main items cost about $12-$13.
Parking: Street parking. Usually busy, but often can find a spot within a block.
Kid-friendliness: Good kid options for food. Weekend days and weekday evenings are better kid hours. The bar crowd can be rough for kids, but there is a space in a separate section/3 walled room where one could get away from that crowd except maybe Friday and Saturday nights.
Wheelchair accessibility: Might find one handicapped accessible parking spot on the street at the end of the block. No handicap accessible entrance. One handicapped accessible bathroom. Some of the long tables are wheelchair height. There are a couple of 2-person tables that are wheelchair height as well. Walk/wheeling isles are narrow when the place is busy, but people are very accommodating there.
