Didn’t get seated until 15 minutes after our scheduled time and only after I reminded hostess that we were there. Our server was prompt, accommodating and friendly! Food was good but definitely could have been warmer. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

This was our 2nd visit in just two weeks. Great experience and value. Wish there was something like it in Lincoln where we live. We’ll continue to drive to Omaha to enjoy J Gilbert’s.

We really enjoyed it! It was my first time there. Their kids meals were better than most! They each came with a general side (fries, veggie options) but then they both came with Yogurt, cutie orange and fruit snacks. The kids loved it! We go to so many places that just do generic tenders and fries so anything beyond that is always great. We both loved the house margs and our meals were delish. My husband’s only complaint was the Shrimp pasta only had 6 shrimp but they were fairly good size. We will be back!
