We will definitely be back. The breakfast was delicious, the restaurant is gorgeous, and the attentiveness of Brittany was top notch! She took great care of us and we may have laughed a little too hard at a couple of things. Thank you Brittany and the Gabby Goat team!

Server/bartender brought us menus quickly after we were seated. She gave ample time to look it over and order. My table ordered wings, breaded pork tenderloin and French fries. The pork tenderloin was one of the best I've had in a long while. It wasn't just a flat piece of meat it had substance and tasted fantastic. The wings were good as well. I asked for seasoned fries and got regular but no biggie. They were done up just right...not over done or too soggy! Will definitely be back!

After speaking with the server, we discovered it had been a mad rush at lunch and the staff was trying to clean up from it. The food was so good and exactly what we needed. We ordered several items...corn dog, fries, tater tots, fried chicken quarter, a Reuben sandwich, and a BBQ sandwich. Everything was the right temperature and pretty flavorful. The chicken breading was good and crispy, but couldn't taste a lot of seasoning. The Reuben was 'amazing'. Would definitely come back, if given the chance.

We had an open face beef with mashed potatoes and a bbq pork steak dinner. The place was empty when we arrived and seated. The waitress had our drinks and order in no time. The place was clean and smelled great. As we waited for our food the place started filling up. Evidently this is a favorite for after church crowd locally. Our food arrived and was very tasty and good portions. It soon got noisy only because everyone was happy and visiting. I even ran in to a couple of old acquaintances. All in all I give this place 5 stars.
