I went here recently and I just want to say Sierra, I hope I spelled that right, was the best server we could have had! She was very friendly and welcoming, gave amazing recommendations, and was also super engaged with us the whole time.

Stopped in for lunch today while I was waiting on new tires. I’ve been before and had a good experience. But the server I had today wasn’t friendly. She seemed disappointed to have a one-too. What really bothered me is no one came to ask me how my food was or to check in, but my server did a nice job staring at me from behind the bar. When she brought my check I was told “whenever I’m ready,” but she was back in 30 seconds to see if my card was out yet. I felt rushed, and the experience to me was awkward. Do better.

Well, at least when I warm the $14 queso up at home it's hot and has enough chips. Intial success is easy to lay back on, observe your product. We know what was there before. It was great until it was gone.

Good food and great service, however this is a more of a bar than a cafe which surprised us when we walked

Great local hang out with good food and great drinks. Lots of regulars & loyal people, so be ready to wait for a seat at the bar. We LOVE Jamison. The no Bullshit effect! ? He is personable, a great friend and gives great service and is straight to the point. If you can’t handle it, you should go to one of those posh places that pet people, LOL! Customer for life because of him! ❤️Dietary restrictions: Wings are a great option too!!

Mixed Experience at Gecko RestaurantI recently visited Gecko Restaurant, a place I have respected and frequented in this area for years. While I had a generally positive experience interacting with the owners and staff, I unfortunately had an unpleasant encounter with the bartender, Jamieson, which marred our evening.From the outset, it was evident that Jamieson was unhappy and seemed to have a negative attitude towards customers. His demeanor was unfriendly and it felt like he resented his job and the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. This negativity seemed to spill over into his interactions with patrons, including myself. It is disheartening to encounter such behavior, especially considering the otherwise exceptional service I have received from the other staff members.I cannot pinpoint the exact reason for Jamieson's behavior, whether it was due to my age or some other issue. However, it was disconcerting to learn that he has exhibited similar rude behavior towards other customers. As I mentioned the incident to friends who were also present at the restaurant, they expressed their own encounters with Jamieson's unpleasant demeanor. This suggests a pattern of behavior that needs to be addressed by the management.In terms of the food, I must admit that it did not live up to my expectations. The quality and taste of the dishes were not as impressive as in previous visits. However, it is important to note that the other staff members and the overall ambiance of the restaurant still held their charm. The warm and inviting atmosphere, coupled with the presence of friends, made the evening enjoyable despite the shortcomings.In conclusion, while Gecko Restaurant has been a place I have respected and enjoyed for years, my recent experience was marred by the negative attitude and poor service exhibited by Jamieson, the bartender. It is disheartening to encounter such behavior from a staff member, especially in a restaurant that I hold in high regard. I hope that the management takes note of these incidents and takes appropriate action to ensure that all customers have a pleasant dining experience.

I can't thank the staff at Cafe Gecko in Richardson enough.We held our memorial for my father in law there last night, just as he would have wanted, not a depressing funeral, but a celebration of his life with all his friends at his favorite watering hole, where for the last 10 years the staff took great care of him, friends spent time with him and if he didn't show up, they'd call to check on the guy they all called "B-Paw."My wife and I were incredibly touched meeting everyone who knew Bob and enjoyed his company and by the special plaque they added to his favorite seat at the bar.If you havnt been, the food is great, the atmosphere is friendly and the staff is amazing.Thanks , Gecko's!

I’ve been to Cafe Gekko multiple times. I love the food. It’s always cooked to perfection and tastes delicious! The prices are absolutely amazing. I’m actually writing a review because I just had the best service I’ve ever had there. Maddie was super attentive and took care of our table magnificently. My water was never low, my mimosa was never empty, and she was always around when I needed condiments for my food. I really appreciate her attentiveness and absolutely love Cafe Gekko!
