“I cannot speak more highly about West Side Grill and their staff. They take "excellence" to another level. They truly go above and beyond with every single detail. We come here for all of our special occasions. The food is the best and so is the service. Kim C. is truly one of the best servers you will ever encounter, after our first dinner with her, she felt like a friend, and has honestly become one. Her attention to detail, incredible memory, great personality *and heart* will bless you so much! This whole staff is just awesome. Every server, every manager, the hostesses...will make you feel at home and seriously take care of you. The particular meal that I order is a little "extra special" because I have food allergies, and let me tell you, they are SO gracious with me. I have actually never been to a restaurant that has worked so hard to make sure my meals turn out perfect. Not only have I not had any allergy problems but the food is scrumptious. It is always such a wonderful experience all the way around. And the environment is fun and great for any occasion!“

“The calamari tacos were huge, delicious, loved the jalapeños!!!I had the burger with cheese. I like that they had sautéed onions and raw onions, lots of good green lettuce. Salad was really good, i would just ask for the dressing on the side because i prefer less, but my husband loves his salad fully drenched., so for him it's perfect.Onion rings were good too.“

I had the Double Super Bacon Burger with Chili Cheese fries. It was fantastic. Prices and portions are great. I'll be working in the area for the next 3 weeks. I'll definitely be back.“

“This is a hidden gem. We were visiting the Monterey area and decided to try this place. It's a locals place and very nice ambiance. The service was excellent. They let me try the salsa for the chilaquiles to see which one I wanted. My husband got the Gunslinger burger and I got the chilaquiles. This place has great flavors and everything was fresh. We cant wait to come back.“

“Pros: Gladly impressed with the food they offer and how an unsophisticated burger can be well cooked and taste good at a good price. The restaurant has tables inside and outside. Self-serve soda machine. The menu is complete, with many options. The restaurant is new and well maintained.Cons: The garlic burger didn't test garlic-y enough :)“

Not to mention, the price is less than expected for what you get.It's a great place for a quick meal with friends in Gilroy. Would love to see more gluten-free options though.“

“Wow, what a great local experience. I travel a ton and love local, low key, great value and friendly places! I actually met Sandy, the owner. She runs a great place as evidenced by her knowing most if the clients names as they walk in. Staff was great, happy and on point. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. It's near the Hilton but worth a visit from anywhere in the area.“

“Went there a few days ago - middle of week so not crowded. Didn't know what to expect, but it was absolutely wonderful! Tried the tomato bisque soup which waitress said was good. She offered to get me something else if I didn't like it, but that wasn't necessary. Loved it!! Also had the chicken piccata and friend had a Philly cheesesteak. Mine was good - they added just a touch of chili pepper in their sauce so gave it a good bite. Friend said his sandwich was best he'd had in a couple of years. We will definitely be back. Want to try it for lunch next week“

“Very bad service, the waiter wrote down everything and I didn't bring anything. I never go back to that place. I asked him for food and drinks. He only brought me the food and never brought me the drink. Then he wanted to charge me for everything when he knew perfectly well that he didn't bring me everything I asked for. I really don't recommend very bad service.“

“Oh an arcade. My kids will never eat dinner or want to leave. There are games in the front and a bit bigger arcade in the back. Would be a nice spot to have a bday party if we were from around here. Pizza was good but my kids fries were a bit overcooked. Service was quick as it was a Friday evening. We got 3 large cheese and pepperoni and we had lots of extra between 7 adults and 8 kids.“

The District Theater American • $$

“Phenomenal place to sing karaoke. Drinks are a little expensive for what you get and drink selection is sparse but owners seem nice and guy running karaoke is friendly and has a decent music selection. They make you remove anything on you the TSA or a courthouse would which is a bit excessive and inconvenient. Otherwise I'd give higher rating. Just keep it in mind and be prepared if you stop in, especially from working a job with tools on you.“

Overflow TapHouse Bar & Grill Bar & Grill • $$
7529 Monterey Hwy, Gilroy

“I love this place. They rotate beers constantly and always have a huge selection of fruited sours and seltzers that you just don't find anywhere else a lot of the time. They also keep a wide selection of IPAs and stouts. There's something for everyone. I honestly can't rave enough about their selection. I'm a fan of all our little downtown tap houses but Overflow carries so many options that are always so tasty, it's tough not to play favorites. We bring our pup with us and the owner always brings him a fresh bowl of water when we walk in. He's literally treated like a paying customer and he doesn't even drink yet (he's a baby). They have a cute patio out back with plenty of seating at large picnic style tables and heat lamps if you want to get away from the TVs and activity inside. Side note: we even shot our Christmas card photo out here If we want to sit out front and watch the downtown instead, the owner offers to bring out some chairs for us to sit on. It's such a cool little spot and we've always been treated kindly. I love seeing our little downtown flourish with inviting spots like this and hope for more to come. Thanks Overflow for providing awesome drinks and a fun spot to hang out with our pup!“

“This restaurant is great any time and day, your kids eat free on Wednesdays, call and check that out for sure I may have just made that up in my head.I like stopping for a snack, a meal or a chocolate shake and onion rings with friends after we’ve built up an appetite dancing and when you need to buy some time sobering your friend up, because you know that despite your best friend, swearing up and down, “I’m fine! I won’t get sick on the way home” you’ve learned your lesson and you finally listen to your inner voice and call her, “a drunk liar”Oh yes, and don’t forget that one time, in the 80s, at band camp? Man…we’ll never live that day down, will we?!So go there either by yourself or with your drunk friend and enjoy it. It’s got a huge selection of food snacks, dessert, dinner, lunch breakfast and it’s affordable, the service is great, especially the midnight shift, the food is consistent and I’m always happy with it and if I’m not, they’ll take care of you and that drunk friend, but they take care of friends that aren’t drunk too!Enjoy! Bon Appetite!“
