We are members at the nearby Edsel Ford House and were going to see the holiday lights and wanted some place casual to eat before hand, since we were bundled up like snowmen and were dressed in our warmest (aka comfortable) clothes. A quick Yelp search turned up this place. I looked at the menu and saw it was huge and knew that everyone in my party could find something to eat. We went at dinner time on a Friday night and it was hopping. The main parking lot is small but they have an over flow lot, just FYI. They said a 30 minute wait but I don't think it was that long. They have a cute little area outside with fire pits. We went outside for part of our wait and then decided we will be outside enough at the Ford House and went inside for the rest of our wait. It's kind of crowded in the waiting area with just one bench to sit on. It's loud inside, be prepared for that and if it bothers you, don't go at one of their busy times. I thought the atmosphere was fun and it didn't bother me. The wait staff was super friendly. At my table there was an order of steak fajitas, and yes they smelled delicious on the sizzling platter they were served on. Also has was a Reuben and fries. My husband and I split the nachos. No joke, these things were HUGE. Embarrassingly huge....haha. we opted for chicken and it really didn't have any taste, I would suggest getting beef. The nachos themselves were good and very cheesy. Lots of salsa and sour cream on the side. We took home a small pizza box worth of leftovers. Again, they were HUGE! I'm happy to have found a casual and friendly place to eat near the Ford House and we will definitely go back and try out more of their huge menu!

We had a party of fifteen on a Wednesday night. They did not accept reservations, so we just popped in. They were very accommodating. We had a nice time catching up with family. I had the fish and chips. They were delicious. Also enjoyed the nachos to share with everyone. Enormous portions! Very good.

My goddaughter had just had her first dance recital and our crew that came to cheer her on wanted to treat her to a celebratory ice cream. I'm not super familiar with the east side but my friends said Gilbert's was the perfect place for a group, including three kids. Why? Their menu is huge, the tables are huge, and it's a casual enough place that a group could possibly get a little rowdy without getting side eyes from others. So to Gilbert's we went! We ended up sitting in the front covered porch/patio. Goddaughter and her twin brother went directly to the bumpy cake sundae on the menu. The rest of the table ordered more savory items like some sharable apps and then full meals. My mom and I had dinner started back at her house so we passed on the full meal but we definitely indulged in more than a few bites of their soft pretzels and loaded waffle fries. Both were quite good (tho with all the cheese, bacon, etc on the loaded fries it was not exactly good FOR you tho, haha). We enjoyed both so much we kept on snacking and before we knew it we were full. So much for the dinner we had planned! The kids loved their sundaes, which were almost as big as their heads, and overall we had a really lovely time. Our waitress was super kind and patient (bless her for rolling with the children who were now hyped up on sugar). The kids also loved watching the train running around on an elevated track near the ceiling, also a fun touch). If you're looking for a spot for a casual dinner with a group, kid friendly fare, and/or a expansive menu, Gilbert's might be the place for you.

Stopped in yesterday for dinner. Definitely rustic vibes. Menu has a little of everything. Had a great server. Really loved the Saganaki pizza, you can get just cheese or add sausage or gyro meat. We will have to try it with the gyro meat next time. The spinach and artichoke dip was good, pretty standard. The Asiago chicken sandwich was very good the grilled chicken was cooked off nicely. I feel like some pesto or balsamic glaze would take it up a notch.

From the moment you walk in, you feel like you've stepped inside a cozy, log cabin up north! I have not been here since covid happened, and the pizza is still fresh and amazing- not to mention their prices have remained very reasonable considering global supply chain inflation! I ordered a large (deep dish) Gilbert's supreme, which was loaded with toppings and they were even willing to substitute a couple things for me. The service was fast and friendly, even for being very busy during the Monday night 1/2 off pizza special (all day; dine-in only)! Plenty of leftovers over for the week for $10! They also have other daily specials during the week. They are open 364 days each year- Christmas is the only day they're closed (hours vary on holidays).
