This small establishment is cute for what it is the burger that was 16 dallors was ok. The service wasn't attentive had to constantly go walk over to ask for things. Obviously this is mainly a casino not a restaurant. It was fine got lots of options may come back to try the pho.

The short version
What visitors say about Garlic City Casino & Restaurant
Garlic City is a small Gilroy card room with a kitchen in the back, and Google files it as a restaurant for good reason. Diners praise loaded shrimp tacos on taco nights, a good pizza late at night and food cooked when you order it, though table service can be slow and one diner kept getting up to chase down a server.
At the tables, players like the relaxed pace and dealers who take time to explain baccarat and the other card games. Groups who drove in expecting a big, lively casino left disappointed, and some longtime players dislike the automatic shufflers. There are also complaints about disputed bets and floor decisions that went against players.

Came in for taco Monday upon reading reviews. The eatery is tucked at the back of the casino and boy, the shrimp killer taco is so worth making the trip down. 3 bucks for a fat taco loaded with ingredients and guacamole, salivating just thinking about it again.
This is s cool little card room. Didn't get to play Texas holdem post, but played ultimate bet table game. The dealers were friendly.
Love the variety and good quality food made w love when you order.. 💯😋
