Gaters - Fremont

I ate Gaters once about a year ago. I had dismissed this place as just sub par Mediterranean food that I personally did not enjoy. I had no intention of leaving a review. I was just tricked into eating their food. They are currently operating on doordash as The Burger Hole . I have never felt scammed after ordering a burger. So kudos to a memorable experience I guess? To rate their side business as well: They are not selling burgers. The meat in my burger was not entirely beef as it was advertised. The cheese was not the kind advertised. The bun they advertised was circular, I received a roll (this would have been fine if it was advertised that way. The feta fries contained no feta. If you haven 't noticed the theme here, this was a case of flat out false advertising to such a degree that it was likely illegal. The food was not actually horrible, but I was lied to. If I knew this was coming from Gaters I would not have ordered it. I do not like your food. I was tricked into eating here twice.

I originally planned to order a chicken kebab, but they were out so I settled for a chicken plate instead. I also enjoyed some baklava and falafel. The food was delicious and I couldn't believe that I had never noticed this restaurant before, despite being a regular customer. The sight of the chicken being cooked in the restaurant was irresistible.

Tonight I ordered 4 regular gyros with 4 pages of pommes by Grubhub. The gyros were delivered without the pommes. I called the restaurant for the missing pommes and they promised to deliver them. Almost an hour later, I had no fries. When I went to the restaurant to get the Fritten, a HUGE RAT ran out from behind and then ran back while the cook repaired the Fritten! When I told the cook what I saw, he didn't even react, so I don't think he was surprised. I was so disgusting that I threw my food away without eating it. I used to pray for the food, but now I can never eat again. ?

I visited this restaurant on a whim and ordered lamb gyros and fries. It wasn't until after I had placed my order that I noticed how dirty the kitchen was. The cook had fried the fries in extremely dark oil and hadn't washed his hands before handling my food. The pita bread was undercooked and soggy, and the lamb was overcooked and had a bad taste. I ended up throwing the food away and would not recommend dining here.

The staff at this restaurant is incredibly friendly and the food is delicious. I ordered the combo plate and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size, despite ordering a small plate. It had been 10 years since my last visit, but I have since returned and am glad that this restaurant has remained in business, as many others in the area have closed.
