Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Gillis Family Tavern offers a "fantastic" dining experience with "excellent" cocktails and "great" service. The rustic, colonial ambiance is enhanced by live music, though seating near entertainment can be loud. Highlights include prime rib nights and a "melt in your mouth" Beef Wellington. Friendly staff and an extensive menu make it a must-visit.

    The food was fantastic, the cocktails were excellent, the waitress was great. One of the best experiences we have had. This was the first time at this restaurant that a few days ago didn’t know existed. We will be back!

    We always love being a part of what goes on at Gillis. The reason we didn’t give 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s is because we were seated too close to the singer. He was great, but we had to shout over him. Also, as buffets usually go, the food gets cold too fast, and the bacon could have been crisper. Our waiter, we think, was overwhelmed, because he didn’t clear our plates away, in a timely manner. He was nice enough, though, and kept checking in with us, when he could. We are always going to come back, but maybe during the week and not, for a buffet. Thanks, for all you do, to serve great times!

    There was an entertainer the night we were there, so conversation was a little tricky, but we enjoyed our meals. We like going there on occasion, have never been disappointed.

    This was the third time we've eaten at The Gillis Tavern and each time (unbelievably!) surpassed the time before. Each and every bite left a lasting memory of deliciousness and the vibe was just right up our middle-aged ally. The teamwork that the staff has makes the entire dining experience pleasant, seamless and thoroughly enjoyable. Last night they had a guy playing his guitar and singing, his music filled the air and really added to the ambience of this rustic and "pubby" venue. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!

    If you feel like going here lie down and wait for the feeling to go away. Overpriced terrible food. Very nice server but that doesnt help when the food is underseasoned and over cooked to the point of them hiding the burned parts rather than recooking. You are better off going to McDonalds

    Prime rib night is the best. The meal is so large that my wife and I can split it. Service is great. Maddie and Isabelly are super friendly.

    This visit was to celebrate New Year’s Eve, mid afternoon, and because it was a holiday, it was crowded and a bit noisy. We enjoyed ourselves, though, because everyone was happy! Beef Wellington! Who knew THAT ‘melt in your mouth’ good eat would be on the menu! There’s always a surprise, when you peruse the Specials Menu. Very good, melt in your mouth pastry, and Kirsten mixed up a first rate, tasty Nutty Martini. Our waitresses were engaging and fun to chat with - as usual - and served us with a smile. We even had the owner bring us our cookie dessert to go. If you’re into the sports scene, there are flatscreens everywhere, so you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend for families, too!

    A little cold in the fireplace room but excellent otherwise. It was a cold snowy night outside so I think everywhere was cold. Super nice people!!!
