Galloping Gertie's Bar & Grill

From the moment I stepped inside with my buddy, I was greeted by decor that-- to others-- would associate with the 70's or 80's. I had stepped into a small diner and was greeted by a military statue wearing a mask. An American flag was hanging on a wall to my front with an MIA poster to my left. Obviously pro-military.nnWe waited around 10-15 minutes for the waitress to notice us-- not a bad thing considering her working for both the bar and grill areas. After ordering, and wiping away crumbs from the previous customer, I engaged in conversation with my friend. We were able to talk in this warm, friendly environment-- surrounded by other friendly people.nnAfter around 25 total minutes of wait time, our food arrived. I had ordered the patty Swiss melt with their special corn and chicken soup($16). My friend ordered a feast of a breakfast-- all for around $25. The presentation was superb! The plating of my food and my friend's was amazing. It looked like it was something that could've been straight out of a restaurant.nnAlthough I can't talk for what my friend ate, I was disappointed by the dry, unseasoned burger that was served on my patty melt. To confirm my suspicions, I proceeded to cut into the burger-- dry. Not even the thousand island dressing and onions could save it from judgement. Upon asking about the burgers, they are made fresh-- to which I have to ask as to why they don't season their beef. It's regrettable that any dish have to suffer from no seasoning.nnI turned to the soup and was immediately overwhelmed by the flavor and spice. So much love was put into the soup, that I had to note it in my phone. From what I've gathered, all of the soups are made by hand, fresh every day. That is seriously commendable. Soups are one of the longest dishes to make, and with such skill as well.nnIn short, I hope that the grill learns from it's mistakes and blossoms into an amazing eats.

Great service, good food.

I absolutely adore this small diner, and especially all the gals that work there! The food is always great. The pandemic has made it hard for everyone but I especially appreciate Gertie’s staying open with the best breakfast in town!

This place doesn't look like much, but it had okay food. Our server was Ariel and she was super cool and on it. Would definitely come back. 5 stars for service, 4 stars for food.

Great classic diner food. I typically get the chicken fried steak. Not as massive as it used to be but still a huge meal.
