4.0 of 5 stars. Gilberts is my fall back for brunch if I can't get to Cafe Flora. Good hearty breakfasts served with bagles. It's actually one of the most expensive brunch places around, and I hate the seat yourself...

5.0 of 5 stars. I gave it five stars for a few reasons:1. It deserves five2. No one else had3. I saw reviews for F-ing Red Robin that had 5 stars and Gilbert's kicks RR's ass (not that they're even in the same...

Not Recommended

Way too overpriced for the quality of food. It is a Bagel Deli, not a Restaurant. It is Serve Yourself - no waiters. And yet breakfast for two will run you $40

Disappointed

I had heard a lot of good things about Gilbert's but was thoroughly disappointed when I was finally able to visit. Everything on the menu was overpriced. The food to cost ratio was way off base. I had the hot...

4.0 of 5 stars. Make more bagels. How can you run out of Raisin Bagels? I love the dish size pancakes. I was smart to only order 1. I didn't realize how kosher they were until I ordered a side of bacon and was...

I'll have to admit, I'm a fan of Gilbert's when I'm in the mood for a great bagel sandwich. It's a Deli and a popular one. At lunch time, the lines are long, seating is limited and service is... wel...

Quirky, New York Style Deli

Okay this is not in Seattle but as soon as you walk in you're gonna forget about the Posches, Hummers and Mercedes Benzes parked outside the street. I worked in Bellevue for about a year and I have to...

Best deli on the Eastside

I go to Gilbert's about once a week. Although it is a little pricey, the begals are great adn the soup is amazing. I recommend this little deli to anyone who doesn't mind paying a couple extra dollars for a...

Terrible Customer Service - Not worth your time

Gilbert's gets customers because there's few options on the East side. The food is terrible, the place is not clean, the waitline is terribly long, and on top it is over expensive. Not worth your time or...

Gilbert's in Bellevue -- great sidewalk scene

Gilbert's has been around I think since the mid 1990s, and it is a wonderful place to stop for breakfast or lunch and watch the fancy cars drive by to and from Medina. For a healthy breakfast I order...

Go to Gilberts...

Seattle IS without a good New York Deli! The Other Coast and Roxy's are poor at best. You are going to have to venture across 520 to Gilberts in Bellevue. It is not 100% authentic but trust me, it is ...

Go at off-hours to avoid the stampede

The secret to finding parking and getting timely service at Gilbert's is to schedule an early or late lunch. I went in for lunch at 1:30 on a weekday, and found plenty of curb parking and seating. Also, my...

High cost...

if you are in a hurry, or wanting a fair value, you'd be better looking elsewhere. The food was very good, but waiting nearly 10 minutes to order, about the same to get the food, and then paying $13 for most...

Number 9, Number 9, Number 9

Gilbert's Main Street Deli is home to one of the Great Sandwiches of all time. The Number 9 is a true classic, and for that sandwich alone Gilbert's earns its place among the Maestri. The menu does not end...

disappointing!

I found the breakfast items to be ridiculously overpriced. $12 for a bagel with lox?!! Very few items besides the side dishes were under $10. We're not talking about a 4-star restaurant here, this is a deli.

Tasty but EXPENSIVE

This is a fantastic place with fantastic food-- but there's a catch. It'll cost you. Where else can you go out with a colleague for a sandwich and iced tea and pay $30? But we do it. There's always a line,...
