Gifford's Kitchen Social - Elgin

Service was slow. Food was mediocre at best. People were friendly. Good place to sit and hang out, but not for food or service. Had the lunch specials and took over an hour from start to finish.

The food and service here is fantastic. I had the smoked salmon with Avocado Texas toast and it was amazing. Everything was so fresh and it really had some rich flavors for each part. My fiancée had a custom frittata with hash and fruit on the page. The Frittata was perfectly baked and the hash was just perfect, not fat. Definitely back to this place for the weekend brunch!!!

What a great set. Much to do and beautiful setting on the terrace, even if it is a drainage reservoir. Very attentive staff of our big party. Live music was nice.

My wife and I came to Giffords for dinner and drinks at the bar and we had the pleasure of being served by Stacy Erica! Generally, it is difficult to get high-quality service at a busy bartop, but they worked so well together that we had a lot of attention through the night. The food is phenomenal (recommend the buffalo shrimp) and the drinks are infused and top notch. Will be back to see the two between Thursday and Saturday! A must try!

The service was excellent. The poutine was beautifully rustic and the beef from the slides was mostly executed. we will go back
