GMC Choma Ranch and Pizzeria - Karen
Ranked in Best Casual Dining in Karen
About
The goat ribs are a must-try, the pizza is great, and there's waterfront seating plus a kids' play area with a PlayStation 5. Wait times can be long even when it's not busy, but the staff are friendly and the meat is consistently tender.

An overall nice place, very great service from the personnel. There's a kid's playing area with toys and a play station 5 with a variety of games, kids definitely love it. There's also a very kind employee who keeps watch of the kids and plays with them, very lovely. The food is great, well pleasing to the eyes, very tasty and all the food handled with the utmost hygiene.The chefs never touch any food using their bear hands, the kitchen is very well equipped. You would love it there.

I loved GMC, Food & service were nice and staff were friendly too. It's a family friendly restaurant. Last time I was there they had a kids play area with a gaming PC

Great place for families, lunch, happy hour or dinner. The food & service was good(must try the Goat Ribs) They have indoor, outdoor seating & a space for kids to play. If you seat outside you can see the waterfront. The wait for the food was long than expected especially because it wasn't busy. Other than that, everything was great. Check it out, I recommend this place for their Choma. Note: For the happy hour drinks menu, it would be great if they can let you try different drinks for the buy 1 free get 1 free within the same price range.

There for a lunch meeting and it was absolutely fantastic. James served us well and we absolutely enjoyed our meal. The meat was good and the drinks were on point. We asked for the beef medium and it came well done but it was tender. The Pina colada was made with packet pineapple juice instead of fresh. The passion mojito was nice; needs a hint of fresh ginger. The cake portions were dope (brownie and the other fruit one). James was fantastic and very helpful with recommendations. I'd definitely be back.
