Customer reviews for Gary's Restaurant present significantly contrasting experiences. One reviewer reported an "absolutely horrible experience all the way around," stating that three out of four meals were awful. They described a grizzly and boiled-tasting, overcooked strip steak, an undercooked sirloin steak, and scallops smaller than a dime. This reviewer also mentioned finding hair in the food, a wait time of over an hour for the meal, a rude waitress, and unsanitary conditions, including a moldy soap dispenser in a run-down building. They were extremely dissatisfied and suggested the health department should shut the place down.

In stark contrast, another customer who visited for the first time found the place to be "great, nice and homey." They described the food as "fantastic," with their husband's steak cooked perfectly and their scallops parmesan with angel hair pasta being excellent. They also enjoyed the "hodgepodge," a variety of finger foods with what appeared to be homemade breading, and found the salads to be wonderful with many extras. This reviewer enthusiastically recommended Gary's Restaurant to everyone.

While the platform categorizes Gary's Restaurant as a Chinese Restaurant, the customer reviews do not mention Chinese cuisine.

Absolutely horrible experience all the way around. 3 of 4 meals were awful. Strip steak was grizzly and boiled tasting and over cooked. Sirloin steak was undercooked. Scallops were smaller than a dime. Hair in the food. Took over an hour for the meal to arrive. Such a let down. Bathroom soap dispenser covered in mold and overall building is badly run down, waitress was rude. Shall I go on. Health department should shut this place down!!!

First time here. Place was great, nice and homey. Food was fantastic! Husband had steak, cooked perfectly, I had scallops parmesan with angel hair pasta. Had the hodgepodge which had a wide variety of finger foods (looked like homemade breading) fantastic! Wonderful salads with lots of extras in them. Would suggest this to everyone!

Gary's is a perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy the view of the lake. The Buffalo wings were amazing and Linda was very informative about the area as my family and I are from out of state. The atmosphere is very homey and I would highly reccomend this place to anyone.

This is a hidden gem that's been here longer than any other restaurant at Sylvan Beach. There's great food, a fantastic bartender and a beautiful view. My favorite local restaurant!
