Much nicer inside than outside. Food was good and so was the service. I have no problem coming back here. They did use the bar as a counter to refill the ranch cups, that was unexpected. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.

Lisa (Owner's wife) helped me get some delicious food! I got a French Dip with Onion Rings and scrumptious French Onion Soup! I also had a Coke and the Coffee tasted really good! The hostess was Super Friendly and Helpful and the Food was AMAZING! I'm glad my sister had recommended this awesome restaurant to me! Today Alecia helped me get a delicious Ham and Cheese Sandwich yummy Seasoned Fries! Then, I had a refreshing Strawberry Lemonade with some Vodka! YUM! ❤️💕😋

Pizza was amazing! Salad was fresh and so good. We also enjoyed the FroYo bar as well! Great atmosphere. Staff was extremely friendly. Highly recommended

If I could give zero stars I would! No one was there to seat us. Sat down, was there 15 minutes no one ever came over and acknowledged us! Mind you, this was a Tuesday around 5pm. Never got asked for drinks or food ended up walking out. Only as we were leaving, we passed a server and she said, I was just coming over to you. This is not the first time this has happened to us, but the first time we weren't acknowledged at all! If you’re looking for a good place to go, to get great drinks, and have great food, great service, head across town to The Steakhouse. At least there, your acknowledged, within one minute of sitting down. Needless to say our waitress was awesome. And the food was just as good. Don't waste your time at The Gathering Place, huge disappointment!

Had the family antipasta salad, feed two of us plus leftovers. Everything was fresh, server was a little busy and we had a couple hiccups but it was still good. Went back later and got frozen yogurt and it was awesome. I don’t know if I would recommend to someone in a hurry as things are made fresh. Timing was pretty reasonable.
