They sold out of smadhburgers, so we were told. Chicken tenders were over cooked, very dry. Service a little slow.

The food was mediocre at best. The chicken dinner was made from unrecognizable chicken parts. What happened to chicken legs, thighs, etc., real chicken pieces?!? And the shrimp and grits! Enough grits for four with five shrimp swimming in a chopped ham sauce and where was the andouille??? Doesn’t even need the meat! The wine was good! The waitress with no interactive skills. This used to be a great place to eat. How disappointing!

This was our first time at Gigi’s. We had the fried green tomato bruschetta (delicious!), shrimp and grits (also delicious) and shrimp carbonara (very good). The service was excellent and our food came out quickly. We were there on a Wednesday night, and had reservations, but would not have needed them. We will definitely go back!

We enjoyed the fried green tomato bruschetta. The new salmon entree and the crab cake sandwich were both great.

A bit pricey for the quality & amount of food & drink. Limited menu. Excellent house salad & fried green tomato bruschetta. Smash burger was meh. Shrimp & grits were better at prior visits. Cocktail & beer were good.
