    Met our best friends from A & M class of ‘79 & ‘80 for lunch. We ate, talked & laughed for 3 hours. They checked on us frequently, but never rushed us. Food was good, drinks were good and the service was great. Fun watching the planes take off and land! We will be back!

    Our food was delicious, our server Dane super nice and helpful. We were there for our sons’ 21st birthday and they managed to seat us at our preferred table and gave them a yummy Happy Birthday dessert. We hadn’t asked for that, so that was amazing. Thanks for a great dinner!

    The bar and bar tenders are great. The hostess and host staff has consistently been way to young, inexperienced and last nights was just rude and snarky about seating us as requested. Sadly this has been our experience every time and is very off putting. It’s a college town but you never get a 2nd chance for the first impression and your hosts HAVE to be service minded and friendly. Not territorial.

    The food was great except that the rice that should come with my order was not in the plate and when they gave me the rice it was fried rice (which was hard to chew) and not steamed rice. Overall, the food was excellent.

    This was our 3rd year celebrating “Galentine’s Day” with Gate 12 Bar & Grill. The food was delicious; as always the wait staff was wonderful! Their cocktails were made to perfection! We will definitely be back for our 4th Galentine’s Day celebration & way before then as well. The atmosphere is very laidback, inviting & not too loud. This place is a great place to celebrate ANY occasion.

    Made a reservation, had to wait 20 minutes, then got seated a bar style table immediately between 2 other couples. Shoulder to shoulder. Had to wait a LONG time for orders, drinks, service, etc. Super nice waitress but just very awkward seating situation. The food was good but expensive for the portion size and quality. I really did like it, but I was just a little disappointed.

    Pretty good high dollar food in an uninspiring environment. During the day you might be able to see an occasional plane taking off or landing which is neat but otherwise it feels like you're in a diner.

    I hate giving this kind of bad review for one of my favorite places but they bomb tonight. They did have someone coming out, albeit a bit late, to apologize for sloooow service. Not enough to make up for an expensive night of too loud and not great food. All dishes were over cooked. Probably sat under heat light too long. I was terribly disappointed when I had touted Gate 12 as a great place. First time for a few guest Ms in our party so they might not return.

    We love this place! We go early, sit at the bar and have a drink before dinner. The bartenders are easy to talk to and open to ideas. Cannot beat the food! And watching planes come and go is a bonus!

    Our group had a great dinner and there was lots of night traffic at the airport so great to watch. The pilots of the Navy planes usually come in and eat during refueling. Most had chicken fried steak or chicken. A local farm is used for the meats. They were really good. The creme brulee was had by most with a large cup of coffee. The german choc cake was dry however, so I would not recommend any cakes there.

    Our waitress wasn’t attentive. She stayed gone and didn’t take care of her table. The waitress on the table behind us had to find her for us. We paid cash and left out. She never came back to see if we were paying by credit card. We were not pleased with this waitress.
