Up until last night, Gilben’s po’boy sandwich was one of the top 5 things I’ve ever had. I ordered through Grubhub a fried salmon po’boy (top seller) and some cheese fries. The order was late and by the time it got to me, my food was cold. The fried salmon pieces were nothing but little crunchy pieces of batter. The bread which is usually the best part was hard, burnt and had no garlic taste. My fries were a cold soft blob with some kind of cheese sauce. I paid $32 for a $9 experience. I requested a refund. Gilben’s got to do better!
Food was horrible. I ordered salmon sliders expecting a small piece of salmon; however, I received 2 “salmon nuggets” on a bun?? The “cheese” fries was so mushy I could have eaten them as mashed potatoes and cheese tasted like someone poured milk on the fried. The best thing about my meal was the bun. My stomach literally started hurting like an hour after eating.
The food here is amazing! It’s always fresh and of good quality. with every bite you can tell it was made with love. every visit I always get something different and I must say they never disappoint. My order always comes out fast and the atmosphere feels like Sunday dinner with the family. 10/10 always recommend
Feel like this place is slowly falling off. They still have great cakes. Just not sure about the cooks that make the cheeseteakes and stuff. Might need to find a new guy. Food isn't the same since he's been there, but I let you tell it. Still one of my favorite black establishments but I gotta be honest!
Very great customer service. However, Cheese steaks are not that good and it’s only because it’s too much going on. Not seasoned, instead of the home made cheese sauce offer regular American sliced cheese or Cooper sharp. Please lose the garlic buttery roll for the cheese steaks, or at least give customers the option to not get it. It does not pair well at all with the steak. And to top it off I would find a better roll to uphold your cheese steaks and Po boys. It’s hard to enjoy when it’s falling apart. The shrimp Po boys are amazing btw! Hope you guys considerate these suggestions.
