Their salsa is the best! They have great pizza and Mexican food. The margaritas are very tasty. The staff is always friendly. They do get busy and there may be a wait but it’s worth it. Parking can sometimes be a challenge but there is parking across the street that makes up for the limited space at the restaurant.

The food was not great. The rice and beans were disgusting and the enchiladas were okay. The pizza was good. The room was boiling hot and it was nice outside. Service was pretty good.

The waitress was fabulous. All the staff helped at the tables for clean up,not just certain ones. The pizzas(taco&sausage mushroom) had plenty of toppings.Taste,they were both bland. Sausage is house ground,not Italian. More than likely this will be our 1st and last time going.

We love Gem City. It's been a go to forever for us. It never changes and the food and service are always amazing. Highly recommend. And their specials are even better.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chad Waters · Oct 2021

Great local place. Service was great, people are very cheerful and friendly. Pizza was awsome (not overly greasy) (see picture) tasted as great as it looked. The salsa that came with the chips was awsome (the hot had a great kick) and the burrito my friend had he said great. Annnndd the value for the money was amazing. The place was packed on a Monday even (not overly packed though). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! TRY AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY 😉
