Gibson's Cafe - Cafe in Lafayette - 100 E Locust St, USA

Was a busy day when my husband and I ate inside. Cute location and decor. Food was better than average, but prices were a little high. Course cost of food has gone up. Only place I've been to that charges you for drinks to go! Free refills only while eating there. Ruined my afternoon!

I've known about this place since it opened, but for reasons unknown to even me, I had my first visit this week. Funky little joint with a welcoming staff, the food is an incredible bargain. Parking is "on the square" in Lafayette TN and is easily accessible. Don't wait - certainly not as long as I did- and visit Gibson's Cafe today!

I was in line at a typical FF place and I wanted some fresh and hand made. I searched food and found this cafe. I walked in and the places was loaded with patrons. So I ordered to go. The proprietor was very polite and service oriented. Everyone seem to be having a great time and the people I spoke with raved about the home cooked made food. I ordered the Philly on the recommendation of two patrons and the owner. It didn’t miss. I especially enjoyed the toasted buttered bread. I would eat here again. Oh and they taped the container so the food would spill. Awesome!

I've lived here in macon County for over 20+ years when I found this Cafe, my son and I went for the first time, and it's AMAZING! everything about this place is just amazing ! There's memorabilia all over the place , the people are so friendly and the FOOD , omg is wonderful and well priced for all that you recieve ! I forgot my phone to take pictures but believe me ... WE ARE MAKING GIBSONS CAFE OUR PLACE !! just want to say a big THANK YOU to the waitress for making our day, so everyone stop by GIBSONS CAFE for the BEST BLT AND PHILLY STEAK YOU'LL EVER EAT !!

Great little sandwich restaurant! The place has a 70s music vibe, with lots of photos, etc. of old rock bands and posters. Best chicken salad sandwich I've ever had (I'm not a big fan of chicken salad but I love this one). I like it with bacon on a croissant. Everything I've had is great and the desserts are great too! If you're in Lafayette, it's definitely worth a try.

My favorite is the cornbeef and cabbage on St Patrick's Day. The Cheese cake is amazing 😋💗

Cute little place. Very clean dining room and restroom. Food was pretty good. Good service. Prices commensurate with current inflation. Wouldn't object to going there again.

So in 2021 we ate here and it was fantastic. Burgers were the most juiciest and flavorful that we've had. The service was top shelf. Today March 2023, we decided to stop in again for some amazing food. I ordered the Ruben sandwich and it was out of this world good, just as I would expect from Gibsons. We also ordered a cheese burger but unfortunately it was dry, over cooked and the cheese was put on it as an after thought. The cheese was not melted but more importantly, the burger was dry and had absolutely no flavor. We put a lot if salt and pepper on it so we could at least eat it but being dry, there was not much you can do with it. I ordered coffee as my drink but was told they had to make a new pot. Since it was close to lunch I do not believe many people would be ordering coffee. That being said, the coffee was not drinkable. It was like someone just ran water over used coffee grounds. It was so light, it was horrible. I asked for water so I could at least eat. The last mention is no one came to our table to check on drinks until we were done eating. I really needed more water long before this but since I had a taste of that dry cheeseburger, I asked for more water and immediately got it. I drank about half of that glass and we paid for our meal and left over a 20% tip because that is who we are. We were asked how everything was but my wife being who she is said it was fine and I being who I am just smiled and let it go. I had to write this review hoping that Gibsons will correct the cooking of their burgers and put in fresh coffee grounds no matter what time of day it is or get coffee that has a coffee flavor. Kudos on the Ruben, that was very good. Of course we paid from the dry cheese burger and undrinkable coffee because that's who we are. We may stop back in later in the year before we write them off because maybe someone was having a bad day.
