F.A.Q.2023-06-16T14:58:29-04:00

Have a question? Below is a list of our frequently asked questions. Should your question not be answered below, get in touch with us.

a) Do you allow pets on your patio?2024-05-12T10:32:24-04:00

No we do not. Only certified service animals are allowed on our premise. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed. We did try in the past to allow pets but just had too many issues with barking and poorly behaving pets.

b) Can I make a reservation?2024-04-20T07:14:27-04:00

Yes but we only accept online reservations for 12 people or less but not by phone. Requests for reservations that don’t fit our online parameters can be also made at this link but must be made 24 hours in advance and are not guaranteed until confirmed by GTs.

c) Do you provide parking?2024-04-20T07:13:49-04:00

Paid parking is available right beside GTs. We have no free parking however at this time it is free after 5pm. Even the owners and the staff pay for parking.  Rates are $4 per hour, maximum $20 per day. Because the lines at the machines can be long, we HIGHLY recommend paying for parking in advance of your arrival at Honk Mobile.

d) Who owns the parking lots?2024-04-20T07:13:35-04:00

ALL parking lots are owned by the Municipality of Central Elgin.

e) Can I purchase a seasonal parking pass?2024-04-20T07:02:44-04:00

YES. Please click below.

f) Can I call to put my name on the wait list?2024-04-26T07:03:18-04:00

Unfortunately, you can only go on the wait list in person so that we can give you a pager when your table is ready.

g) Do you have live music?2024-04-26T07:04:30-04:00

GTs will no longer be hosting live music.

h) Why doesn’t GTs host live music anymore?2024-04-20T06:58:50-04:00

When we were not allowed to host live music during Covid, we thought for sure that it would return after the pandemic. What we learned was that we found a lot of new customers who really appreciated being able to make a reservation and have a nice meal without a band.  The business became much simpler and less risky without the liability of late night drinking.  Every business has to decide who their target market is.  Not everyone likes live music but everyone eats.  Covid helped us to evolve and to focus our energy on becoming the best restaurant we can be.

i) What happens to my reservation if the weather is poor?2024-04-20T07:12:16-04:00

We do our utmost to move outside reservations under the roof.  We will do our best to call you if we need to cancel or move your reservation to let you know but please be advised that sometimes weather systems come in quickly and this is not always possible. Reservations booked under the roof are guaranteed.

j) Do you do anything special for birthdays or anniversaries?2024-04-20T07:01:55-04:00

No we are sorry but we do not. Outside food including birthday cakes are not allowed.
