My husband and I have been on 2 dates here and I see many more in our future. The vibes are cozy and warm, the food is DELICIOUS and the service is quick and attentive. I personally am not a huge fan of mobile ordering from the table- which they were at least using for our New Years meal- but it kept things running smoothly and we were checked on several times. :) this is a great local spot with an elevated feel!

Gatewood House continues to be one of those places that quietly does everything right. It's back after being only open for special events for a couple of years post-covid. We tried several of the specials and left impressed across the board. The mulligatawny soup was especially memorable — deeply flavorful, warming, and clearly house-made. The deviled eggs were elevated without being overworked. Creamy filling, tender brisket on top, and just enough pickled red onion to cut through the richness — balanced, clean, and genuinely delicious. The Gatewood chili wings were another standout. Perfectly cooked, great smoke, and the chili honey lime sauce hit that ideal sweet-heat note without overpowering the wings themselves. Crisp, sticky, and very more-ish. For an entrée, the mushroom & Swis

First timers. A true hidden gem in the Hillsborough area. We ordered the chili lime wings, fried catfish plate, chicken gumbo, smoked gouda mac & cheese, bacon fat garlic green beans…and beignets for dessert. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection, in addition to enjoyable service from all staff. Thank you all for taking care of us during our visit, you haven’t seen the last of us.

I’m not one to typically do reviews but after my family’s experience tonight I felt that it was necessary. In short terms the owner of this restaurant needs to work on some customer service. This evening my wife’s family and I went to Farmhouse restaurant which is a steakhouse we have been to several times for several years with consistent service and food. Unfortunately Farmhouse was very busy and with the young kids we had, we needed to find some food and landed on going to Gatewood. The atmosphere is pretty neat, they have an open seated bar along with several room in an older model house with tables all around. You order your food on your phone with little to no server attending to your table. I’m not usually one with issues of ordering on an app but at times with an expensive menu I
