Jack Gibbons<br />
Gardens all about<br />
traditions, not trends<br />
Jack Gibbons Gardens does not follow<br />
trends.<br />
Diners are not going to witness Happy<br />
Hours or Margarita Mondays at Jack Gibbons.<br />
That is because Jack Gibbons focuses<br />
on what really matters: great food and<br />
even better company.<br />
The restaurant reportedly has customers<br />
who say they have not been there for<br />
25-30 years but come back and it is just<br />
the way they remember it.<br />
Jack Gibbons Gardens — or Gibbons,<br />
as the regulars call it — opened in 1922<br />
as a speakeasy. Although times have<br />
changed drastically since then, the restaurant<br />
itself has not. From the red leather<br />
booths to the wood-paneled walls, Jack<br />
Gibbons is truly timeless.<br />
In a time when chain restaurants are on<br />
every corner, Gibbons has become even<br />
more special and unique. From the second<br />
a diner sits and is instantly delivered delicious<br />
warm bread, three-bean salad and<br />
ramon’s<br />

hassle of having to get a<br />
new pair and spend the uncomfortable<br />
time breaking<br />
them in.<br />
Ramon’s attention to<br />
detail means a customer’s<br />
custom motorcycle bag<br />
will be the finest a customer<br />
has ever owned and will<br />
get them noticed on the<br />
road. Seat coverings can<br />
be altered to fit the individual,<br />
so no more struggling<br />
with factory stock seats<br />
that can be uncomfortable<br />
or even dangerous to ride<br />
on. Ramon can add fringe<br />
to any leather motorcycle<br />
accessories, including<br />
custom hand grip fringe,<br />
coleslaw — before even a glance at the<br />
menu — it is easy to know one is about<br />
to have one of the best meals of his or her<br />
life. From surf and turf to fried chicken,<br />
Gibbons has something to satisfy any<br />
craving.<br />
Gibbons has been described as a “generational<br />
place” that sees everyone from<br />
grandfathers and fathers to their grandchildren<br />
dine there.<br />
A secret to that success is that the restaurant’s<br />
staff does not experience the<br />
type of turnover seen in some chain restaurants.<br />
Its employees have worked there<br />
for years, striving for a “Cheers” vibe with<br />
which the bartender knows the customers,<br />
what they are having and the friends they<br />
bring with them.<br />

floorboard fringe and bag<br />
fringe. Heritage Softail<br />
bags can sag over time,<br />
but Ramon can keep those<br />
bags looking new with his<br />
custom-made leather supports.<br />
If a customer has<br />
patches but doesn’t trust<br />
themselves to apply them,<br />
Ramon can apply them for<br />
the customer to their cut,<br />
leather or denim jackets or<br />
their bike’s bags.<br />
Ramon has been working<br />
with leather since his<br />
father started teaching him<br />
when he was just 5 years<br />
old. Since then, Ramon<br />
has been honing his craft,<br />
so there is not any job too<br />
big or too small for him<br />
to handle with the expertise<br />
and care needed when<br />
making alterations or repairs<br />
to a customer’s most<br />
prized possessions.<br />
When customers work<br />
with Ramon, they are going<br />
to come away with exactly<br />
the work they want<br />
done at a fair and honest<br />
price. This holiday season,<br />
residents should come see<br />
why Ramon is the only<br />
name a customer needs<br />
to know for all their motorcycle<br />
leatherwork and<br />
shoe repair needs.<br />
