our story

The Gilbert House Restaurant, located in the heart of Gilbert, Arizona, is owned and operated by Caitlin Erickson, after being passed down by her Aunt, Susan Wright, who had owned the restaurant for over 21 years. Specializing in classic American cuisine, the Gilbert House prides itself in using the freshest of ingredients. Their high standards come from Susan's upbringing on a South Dakota Dairy farm where she learned from her mother and grandmother.

Fresh vegetables and dairy products, homemade pickles and jams, and fresh bread were always a staple. Susan creates healthy, hearty meals and classic desserts with these memories to share with you.

Susan also uses all-natural buffalo meat straight from her sister's ranch in South Dakota. Why choose buffalo meat? Surprisingly to most, buffalo meat is lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol than chicken or fish and is higher in protein than beef. The end product gives you a delicious guiltless burger with added health benefits! You can find more information by visiting Wild Idea Buffalo Company.
