I had never been to this restaurant before, but joined some friends there one Friday night and was very pleasantly surprised. The old saying that "if you build it they will come" has never been more true for this place. This restaurant is out in the middle of cornfields and if you didn't have a map, you would never know where to find it. Having said that, I noted that for a Friday, and in spite of a bad economy, this little gem was crowded. I sampled first the fried mushrooms which were served with what appeared to be homemade ranch dressing. The mushrooms were golden and crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. They were great! I then ordered the fried cod and was again pleased with the results. The cod was battered and fried to perfection. The potato salad and coleslaw were homemade and also were very good. I noted heaping plates of fried chicken coming out of the kitchen which also looked very tantalizing. I will have to try that next time. Overall, this is a very casual restaurant which serves a good homestyle menu. The atmosphere is pleasant and the drinks were also good and served promptly. Gil's is a great restaurant that everyone should try.
