    Pecan pancake
    Dana O.

    Service is always friendly. I have been here multiple times for their fried catfish but this is my first breakfast. Ordered one biscuit with sausage gravy and a side of sliced tomatoes because... well that's how it's done in Mississippi! The gravy is good ol' southern gravy! No fancy mixins like thyme or rosemary ( thank goodness!). The biscuit is a great fluffy biscuit and the tomatoes a great fresh ripe side. I also had a pecan pancake for dessert! This semi-southern girl is thrilled with her breakfast! This is a diner NOT a fancy place. But it is cute, clean and friendly! Try it, I don't think you'll be sorry!

    Everytime I drive by this place there is a line in the morning. Finally got to try Abel's with the family this morning and now I know why people are willing to wait. Their customer service is amazing. Our waitress knew customer's name like they have been friends forever. Reasonable prices for the meal. I had their Abel's breakfast and it was better than average and it came out fast too. From the time we put our name on the waiting list till the time I had my meal was about 30 minutes. Not bad. It was pretty packed inside and had a country home feel with their decor. So if you're looking for a quick, decent meal that won't hurt the wallet. Look for this corner diner in the shopping center in Schertz.

    Service is super friendly and the nostalgic retro diner vibe is so fun! Popped in for a pick up and welcomed in with big smiles! Breakfast plates are moderately priced and look forward to dining in next time and sit by the open kitchen

    Chicken Fried Steak

    My dad is obsessed with this place. Notice he's the one always ordering the Chicken Fried Steak. Abel's was sold a while ago and prior to that, portion sizes got smaller. The to go cups are way smaller. Uh, hello? We are in TX. Everything is suppose to be bigger here. I'd like them to at least, go back to the larger to go cups. Anyway, food to fine. Service is always great here. The older generation loves this place and it is always crowded. Need I say more?

    As I was coming back from San Antonio, I noticed I was entering Schertz and recalled that there's a Diner nearby. The place in question is a wonderful and staple in the neighborhood, it's "Abel's Diner". This place is wonderful the food is amazing the breakfast is by far one of the best in town. But today it was lunch time, so I wanted to try if the lunch is as good as their breakfast. And I wasn't disappointed, but let me go to the beginning. As you walk in you see a good amount of seating even for somewhat larger groups, the hostess takes you to your seat and then they take your drink order. The people that are taking and bringing your meal are extremely helpful and all around wonderful people. For my meal I ordered the "Homestyle Hamburger" with fries as my side. I'm not going to lie, but at first glance it looked odd, being on what appears a hoagie bun. But don't be fooled, it was absolutely delicious I had cheese and bacon to the hamburger and it brought it to next level. The fries themselves were equally delicious, overall this place continues to serve great food and is a wonderful option.

    I've tried several different dishes from this restaurant and to me they're just mediocre. I had the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce didn't taste like hollandaise sauce. It had an off taste to it. When we got there about 10:20 AM my party ordered breakfast and I wanted to order off the lunch menu but was told I had to wait until 11:15 AM so I confirmed it with the cashier as we were leaving the restaurant . You cannot order between 10:30 AM and 11:15 AM off the menu because they're changing from the breakfast menu to the lunch menu . For a person that doesn't like breakfast this was kind of a red flag for me. The biscuits are homemade and good. The gravy is ok but all the other dishes that I've had are mediocre what I do recommend is the homemade cinnamon rolls with a cup of coffee.

    This is a really good, standard dinner. We go here regularly. The pies are homemade and I always get a slice to go.

    My oldest daughter wanted a salad to go with left over from lunch for dinner and Schlotzsky's…read morehappened to be next to our hotel. She walked and ordered a chicken strawberry salad to go. She couldn't finish the large salad, so I ate the rest. The greens and strawberries were fresh. The chicken pieces were tender. Over all, it was a good refreshing salad.

    This really highlights the problems with companies like GoTo Foods snapping up restaurants left and…read moreright but not putting thought or effort into integration. About a week ago I had a poor experience at Cinnabon. For the record, I hadn't been to a Cinnabon in ages and we don't really even have a massive standalone presence here in SA. Nonetheless the quality was very low. I left honest feedback and in return they gave me a coupon code which was good for a free classic Cinnabon. Now I wasn't about to drive all the way across town again, so I went on the app and it showed there was a closer location at "Cinnabon at Schlotzsky's" as it shows in the app. What I found interesting is you can order ahead though the Cinnabon app and it clearly lists this as a location. So I figure I hadn't had lunch yet so I'll order some food items too from Schlotzsky's and there's an option within the Cinnabon app to scan to redeem. I get to the window and they tell me they don't accept Cinnabon there. I show them the app where they are listed as a location and there's literally nothing that says you can't redeem or earn rewards there. They say we'll try to scan your barcode but our system likely won't take it. Again, it's not even that you do or you don't take the rewards. It's how you COMMUNICATE that. Starbucks, for example, will tell you locations (e.g. hotels or airports) that don't honor their rewards program. You know before you commute that you can't earn or redeem at these locations. Communication. A simple yet powerful idea that so many companies miss. This is also an issue you create when you cross-brand like this. And to add more onto this train wreck of an experience, Schlotzsky's has it's own app and rewards program that's completely separate too.
