It's been months since I came to this place and I realized I have not wrote a review on it. So here…read moreI go. I was able to try this play so before I went to a friend's wedding. I found this restaurant and After. A little exploring And going the wrong way.I decided I'll get something to eat. And after I made my order the young lady had call me back and said that they were out of a certain thing that I ordered and ask me if I wanted something else and I said yes. When I first arrived it was amazing. It was a restaurant and a general store all in one. And The young lady was very kind to provide me any chocolate of my choosing and I chose a Smores flavor. I personally want to say that this place has the best chocolate i've ever tasted. And they have so many flavors. If any time that you are in morganton , you've got to give this place a try. It was so amazing and the ambience here was top notch. This place has me wanting to come back any time I come back to North Carolina. This is one of the best places to try in Morganton, North Carolina.

While visiting Morganton last weekend, we came across this little breakfast spot inside the General…read moreStore. It was so cute and the staff was very friendly! My iced coffee and breakfast sandwich was delicious. The menu isn't terribly big but they have something for everyone. Would go back!

Sunday morning breakfast buffet. It's hard to go wrong there and Abele's did a very good job. A…read morefriendly waitress brought our carafe of coffee and while Mrs. K. decided to order from the menu, I started on the buffet. Before I was back with my first plate, her French Toast arrived. A great selection of proteins on the steam table and a nice variety of the classic breakfast offerings. A big plate of scrambled eggs and I was able to add cheese sauce and mushrooms on one side of my plate. On the other, some sausage links (very overdone) and some sliced ham (extremely salty). Lots of other high carb options available including biscuits, pancakes, French toast sticks, cheese and plain grits, home fries and tots. Something that might have been fried chicken livers and also some pieces of fried chicken. A dessert bar with banana pudding, jellos and fruits was also available. The place is clean and the service was great, clearing dirty dishes and restocking coffee creamer. A satisfying meal for sure. [Review 542 of 2026 - 4637 in North Carolina - 25724 overall]

I was in Morganton on business and looked for a good place for lunch. I ventured into Abele's. The…read morefirst thing you notice upon entering is the odd, almost weird, decor. It took a few minutes but I was seated at a table. The building is huge and easy to get lost trying to find the restroom. The men's room was a mess. I ordered a BLT and fries. After a long wait, the waitress brought my meal. The BLT was okay, not great. The fires were hot but undercooked. I will not make the mistake of stopping here again.

We went for dinner on a Wednesday evening and the place was surprisingly full. The bartender was…read moreimpeccable. I don't think he ever stopped moving and checking on everyone. My only complaint was that the kitchen took a while to get our food out, but the appetizers and salads came out quickly and if I returned super hungry I would order a soup or salad before dinner. My salmon was top notch. The skin was crispy and the meat was perfectly cooked. My god mother loved her tomato bisque and fried oysters. The grits an polenta were what everyone at the bar was talking about. Many of the cocktails looked delicious and I can wait to come back sometime when I can try a few. It's a perfect spot for a special occasion or a date night.

I can't wait to return and try more dishes.

So I can't begin to tell you how much I wish this was a 5 star rating. The menu choices looked…read moreAMAZING. Unfortunately we never got that far. Upon arrival on a Saturday morning a nice young man quickly seated us at a table and said "your waitress will be right with you". And it went straight downhill from there. To set the stage, besides my wife and I there were two other couples ... so 6 people at 3 tables. 2 waitresses and it looked like 5 more people at the bar and in the kitchen. The employees outnumbered the customers. We sat and looked over the menu. Choices looked INCREDIBLE!! One waitress was covering each of the other two tables. So they each had one. We waited in excess of ten minutes and no one even acknowledged our existence. No "I'll be right with you". No "what would you like to drink?" No "let me get you some waters" We watched our waitress passed right by us no less than five times (her other table was right next to ours). The last time, when she went behind the bar and started sipping a drink and looked right at us ... we got up and left. Now everyone is allowed to have a bad day. And we will go back and give them a second chance and will gladly change this 1 star rating. But this is a small family run restaurant in a building that has been dozens of other things over the years. Reasonable customer service is a must. And not speaking to customers at all is unacceptable. So we'll go back and try again and we're hoping this is a one off and this restaurant is very successful.

When we went there were only two waitresses/hostess running the whole show. They did a phenomenal job all things considered but the "buffet" was so under par it was a joke. A few pieces of meat, seafood that would make a mediocre Chinese restaurant blush with shame.
