    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?

    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.

    I went to Abel's all the time growing up! Then I didnt go for years, until it was at the new location. I was bumed about not getting and rolls, since they were a dinner only item. The new location is a lot bigger and seems nicer to me. The host was great, but the server was not great. She ws very pushy and not helpful. Seemed like she was ready to snap... I dont like havong awardness with someone handling my food. The food was good, but not like how i remembered it... Servings were large though, so that was a plus! I would reccommend Abel's if you wanted to try it!

    The service was great! This place honestly just reminds me of grandmas house growing up. Cute little homey atmosphere. Our food was a little subpar- but I don't think people really come here for the food. They come here for the comfort and welcoming feeling from all of the staff. All of the elderly people around us were greeted with warm smiles & hugs, almost like they were family and it made my heart so warm and fuzzy. I would recommend this restaurant just for that feeling alone! I love it!

    Great, old-time spot for some classic diner fare. Been here for both breakfast and lunch, everything was great both times. Definitely recommend the club sandwich, it was large and packed with meat and veg, and the bacon was super crisp, just the way it should be. The waitresses are all very nice, and everyone seems like they enjoy working there, which is a rarity these days. Abel himself is often on site, either cooking up a storm in the back or walking around and checking on the guests, which is an awesome thing to see in an owner. This will be a regular spot for us, so glad somewhere like this is close by!

    Classic diner food. I got the Chicken Monterrey. No mushrooms. With fries and spinach The spinach was just okay. It needed some help in the flavor department. The fries were good, I like my fries with a bit of crunch. The main dish was awesome though, the Chicken Monterrey was juicy, had great flavor and I couldn't get enough of it. We had great service too. Very attentive with our refills and making sure we had everything we needed.

    A good place for when you want something different, or a variety of meals. Service is great and restaurant is clean.

    Hometown Eats. What an exquisite little eatery/bakery! So happy to have found this place, which has…read morebeen under my nose for the past year apparently. Small, but comfortable place that has a few tables inside and out. Sell coffee and baked goods but also has a nice little breakfast/brunch menu. The owners ran the place and really seemed "happy" to see us, took time to walk us through the menu, offer suggestions, etc. just extremely "comfortable" place to be from the moment we walked through the door. My wife and I always pick two entrees and share. We went with the breakfast sandwich and the biscuits and gravy and we were not disappointed. The house made brioche bun for the sandwich and the biscuits were out-of-this-world delicious. Based on that, I would wager that the other baked goods they had displayed (scones, cinnamon rolls, etc) would have been wonderful! (I'll be back soon to confirm this) Back to the food...the sandwich was very good- egg was perfectly "over hard" and high quality cheese and bacon. The maple-chipotle mayo absolutely made the bite. Next time I will ask for extra, maybe slathered on both halves of the bun. The flavor of that mayo was unlike anything I've tasted- thoroughly enjoyed it and it complimented the overall flavor of the sandwich so well. Delicious!!! As already mentioned the biscuits were outstanding...which is not something that I say lightly. While I will always try biscuits and gravy, I am usually disappointed and it is typically because of biscuits that are too dense and too dry. These were neither- they were incredible and I'm not sure what gave them the touch of "sweet" but that little touch took the flavor of the biscuit over the top for me. Finally, the gravy was perfect from the amount of sausage to the elegant "sage-iness" of the bite. With respect to the quantity of gravy, it is not uncommon for places to not give enough gravy. The ratio of gravy to biscuit must be difficult to master, well they've done it at Northern D'Lights!! Just incredible experience and we will be back, on the regular! Give this place a go...great place!

    Food was great and coffee fantastic, we stopped in for an early morning coffee but the cinnamon…read morerolls were cooking and smelled too good to pass up. My husband got the breakfast bowl with egg, veggies, and bacon. We were the only ones there which for barely 7:30am is understandable, the man behind the counter was very nice and friendly. Over all we loved the quiet breakfast to kick off our morning and will definitely be back.
