Gabe’s Café

Good food & staff much like the old truck stop we use to love… hope it can hang in there with new changes coming.

Love It! I always order a bacon skillet with eggs over medium, and with green chili on top. Just thinking about it makes me want one. On a weekend, you may have to wait, but it’s worth it. Also love the weekday breakfast burritos to go. Stop in, order, $ 2, out the door. Bam! BTW, ignore the review from the person who says he likes to change it up to see if the staff is listening and if the cook can adapt! Really? I’m going for breakfast, not to test the place.

The skillets are on point. The service was super friendly. Everything was very well priced and affordable.

Great place for a quick breakfast! Very friendly staff! We are from out of town so we’re happy to find a small local joint for breakfast!

Very quick service. The staff pleasant. The over hard egg I ordered was good and cooked appropriately. The gravy was like a thick white Alfredo sauce though, and was not what I expected.

Can’t see why it’s rated so high. Marginal even for a greasy spoon. I ordered the eggs and sausage with 3 eggs and cheddar cheese on top. I usually order a varient to see if the server is listening and if the cook can adapt, fail on both. I got 2 eggs, no cheddar and very overcooked hash browns. The toast was untoasted and soaked with oil… yuk. This cook is lacking even the basic skills and common cooking sense. There are way better spoons out there, don’t waste your money here.

The huevos rancheros is a very generous portion, including delicious green chili, spicy chorizo, and grilled sliced jalapenos (a nice touch). The overall effect of these ingredients is a smidge excessive in terms of spiciness, but with some stamina, the dish can be enjoyed much more than huevos rancheros at other restaurants. It’s not chock-​full of onions and potatoes like other huevos rancheros recipes designed to save money; instead, it has all the requisite elements of flavor without being overly-​salty or overly-​expensive.
I tend factor coffee quality in my ratings with greater weight than would be fair for a café that has such delicious food, and I’ll concede that coffee at 6:00 AM is a tool more than a toy, but as a favor to Gabe’s, I’d have to offer my opinion that improving their coffee (either the source or it’s preparation) would go a very long way towards five stars. The coffee we had on our visit was thin and chalky-​tasting — I’d imagine some very simple adjustments would improve it mightily. Keep the coffee mugs, however; I love the thick, sturdy heat-​keeping ones they use :-)
The service was excellent — the one server and one cook were working their butts off.
The facility was clean and inviting — the banquettes still have the upholstery from the Thai restaurant that formerly occupied the space, but they are very comfortable.

This is a great «hole in the wall» café. The food is fantastic. This has become our favorite breakfast place in the Tri– town area. You may have to wait a little to get in, but once you do try Gabe’s Breakfast Skillet with green chile. Yum. We went in just this past Sunday and my friend ordered the sliced roast beef with mashed potatoes and loved it!

Good food, good service, nice to have American food close by. Everyone is friendly. we go there often.

My wife and I each had a skillet for breakfast and they were great. We also experienced great service. Their prices were average for a local breakfast joint, our bill was $ 21 before tip, so not bad prices. We will be returning soon.

Eggs Benedict was one of the best I’ve ever had. Cinnamon roll was delish. Environment looked great, but I was there for carry-​out. The food was fantastic and the people were friendly, but I thought it rather spendy and lacking the large portions I had read about from other reviews. That said, I do plan to return. It looks like the perfect place to sit down with a friend or date and hang out for awhile

Enjoyed breakfast immensely. I ordered a skillet, and it was fantastic! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and all the ingredients were fresh and delicious down to the last bite. I usually never finish all my food, but here, I had to savor every morsel. Even the toast was better than at your average breakfast chain! The atmosphere was equally wonderful. The restaurant was almost full, but never felt crowded. The whole place was friendly, inviting, and comfortable! I couldn’t have felt more satisfied with my meal. Highly recommended to anyone.

Went for breakfast for the first time today. I got sausage links & eggs with hash browns, rye toast & iced tea. I asked for sunny side up & was told my choices were scrambled, over easy, medium or hard. This made me hesitate, but my over easy eggs were perfect. Plenty of yolk to dip my toast. A little short on toast butter, so I will ask for some butter on the side next time. Had to ask for a straw. Atmosphere was classic Dacono. Over all, the food was very good! Not expensive, but not cheap. $ 10.06 before tip. I will definitely go back. I’ll try something a little more «daring» next time. The 3 star rating will likely go up.

We went for breakfast this past weekend, we ordered the breakfast burrito, bacon and eggs and country fried steak. The food was all very good, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. I would say this place has great food and awesome service. We will definitely be back, I can’t wait to try lunch it all looks delicious.

First time eating here and the food was awesome. Our favorite of the three things we ordered was Gabes skillet. He is not stingy with the portions. My wife especially liked that it was not dry like other places. The place was packed the entire time. Which means a lot of people like this place. My daughter really liked the French Toast and I loved my burrito. I will defiantly go back to try a few other items on the menu.

Breakfast was fast and service was great. Staff was super friendly. We had the bacon skillet and Denver omelette. The omelette was huge and who doesn’t love bacon, especially when its in a skillet! The homemade cinnamon rolls are to die for as they are huge! This cinnamon roll puts Johnson Corner to shame. This is our new favorite breakfast place I look forward to trying lunch there.
