Gigi's Southern Table

The food was delicious! We loved all the food we ordered including the bruschetta, mahi mahi tacos, salmon, steak, and crab cakes. The service was excellent and we love the ambiance and comfortable chairs.

Well to start our Server DJ was absolutely incredible. Always friendly and endlessly checking in but also not being over bearing at the same time. The bruschetta and biscuits were incredible. The gumbo was good if you like gumbo. The mac and cheese was decent but not incredible. The two stars of the show were the shrimp and grits as well as their creme brulee specialty they had that days The only negative of the entire experience was the bayou steak. It just wasn't very good. The green beans were undercooked, but the mashed potatoes were really good. All things considered it was amazing and well worth it. The chairs are a little interesting so I'd recommend a booth especially if you have a bad back like me. I will definitely be going back!

I made reservations only to find out that we were in a booth, not a table as I had asked forSoups were lukewarm Shrimp and grits was a soupBlackened salmon was not very blackened. Six adults walked away quite unhappy

Our entire meal was delicious . Great presentation with unique and flavorful sauces. The bourbon honey mustard sauce with the fried chicken was terrific . Natalie our server was friendly and informative with great food recommendations!

First timers, lucked out and we got front row parking. Woot wootSo we started with the chipotle deviled eggs, oh my goodness they were good. The wife and kid had the braised short ribs (root beer demiglaze), mashed potatoes and arugula tomatoes absolutely amazeballs. I had the GiGi's Cobb salad and added crab cake. OMG, best salad and crab cake I've had in many years(since Maryland days). The wife had a sparkly Cosmo and I had the Old Fashion, and the drinks were top notch. The ambiance and scenery was so nice.Saved the best part for last, Caitlyn was an amazing server and very friendly and her knowledge of the menu and skills were fantastic..Thank You Caitlyn! 5 stars was all Caitlyn..

We have visited Gigi's for weekend brunch a couple of times and it has been a very nice experience. The food is good and the ambience is quite nice. Sometimes the line at the buffet can get long but it's not been off putting. The service has been ok but a bit slow, there's some room for improvement.we go back for the food and the ambience.

Gigi's is an outstanding choice for a classy but comfortable dinner in State College! We loved the eclectic dining rooms throughout the restaurant and ample seating. Every room seemed to have its own unique style and atmosphere. We sat on the outside patio on graduation weekend, and although the weather was cold and wet, this expansion room had plenty of roof heaters to keep the room comfortable. When the weather is nicer, they open the doors open to be open air. Service was very pleasant and attentive. Food across the board was great! I had the shrimp and grits and thought it was perfectly prepared. Their drink options were very creative. Desserts looked good too. Only a few minutes outside of downtown State College on West College Ave, Gigi's is worth a visit to enjoy some good, southern style food!

I came here for brunch and service was great. The food was fine, nothing special. I think the overall Southern influence on the menu is quite minimal. No grits on the brunch menu at all is miss. The Cajun Benedict came with very little jambalaya and had maybe 2 pieces of sausage. Overall tastes like a regular Benedict minus the meat unfortunately. The complimentary beignets that were served lacked any flavor and were just oily dough.

We ate here for the first time and will definitely be back. We were seated rather quickly. we ordered the garlic shrimp for an appetizer. Though it was loaded with garlic, it was surprisingly light and very flavorful, not overwhelming. For our entrees, we order the mac and cheese with burnt ends, shrimp carbonara and smash burger with sweet potato fries. Everything was hot and delicious and the service was good.

We were very disappointed when we got to the restaurant last night and it had a completely new and minimal menu. Many of the old favorites that made it a Southern-style restaurant are replaced with costly items. The new pricing seems as if they think they are in NYC, not central PA. $50-$65 for steak, $11 for a cup of soup, $19 for a crab cake that was the size of a scallop... I got a cup of crab soup which was just ok. For my main, I got the heirloom salad. The tomatoes were mealy and the cheese was hard. My friend got a cup of gazpacho, which she liked a lot, and a tiny, $19 crab cake. We both got a sauvignon blanc--$20 each. That's a glass, not a bottle. I was willing to pay for quality and tasty food, but nothing was very good and I walked out $60 poorer and still hungry. Sadly, a place I used to frequent is now a place I will not go back to.
