    It was our first time at J. Gilberts. The pretzel crusted onion rings were AMAZING, however my husband's top sirloin steak was way too chewy and dry. He order his steak Medium Rare. Once we told the waiter about this issue, he called manager over. The manager said the top sirloin is chewier steak and that he offered us dessert on the house. My husband and I never had a problem ordering a top sirloin steak anywhere else but I guess here will have to go with the Filet Mignon because mine was amazing. Can't wait to go back.

    Hey Janet, We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your first visit with us. It's great to know that our pretzel crusted onion rings hit the mark for you. We're sorry to hear about your husband's steak, though, and we appreciate your understanding. We're glad to hear that our manager was able to accommodate your evening. The sirloin is big on flavor but when it comes to tenderness, the filet cannot be beat! We strive to provide the best quality food and service to our guests, and your feedback helps us do just that. We're looking forward to your next visit and hope to exceed your expectations next time. Best Regards, The Management Team

    If you order the homemade chips with bleu cheese plan on sharing with the whole table because they pile it up. Steaks were cooked as requested and delicious, same with the burger. You will not go home hungry.
