This place is a great find in Columbus, GA. Located in an up and coming area on Broadway and near…read morethe river, Gabagool has a great vibe and feels right in and among the other industrial style brick buildings that have turned into great venues and restaurants. I was eating alone and sat at the bar and the server was respectful, attentive, and took my order quickly. The main reason this place drew me in was because of their menu emphasizing "home-made pasta." Anytime i see this in an Italian restaurant, I am going to because I've been searching for a restaurant to even come close to the homemade pasta my wife and I had in Florence, Italy. So in an effort to find that dish, I ordered the Bolognese. It wasn't exactly that true Italian bolognese that is closer to a stroganoff, but it was good. The dish has a great balance in the sauce-to-beef, and their homemade pasta was cooked perfect. I also ordered a side of their string fries with aioli. These were not as good as the main dish, they came out a little cold and lacked knock out flavor. Overall, I think this is a great spot, not just for an Italian place in Columbus, but for a true, homemade pasta experience. Every pasta dish I saw looked great and I loved the ambiance. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Columbus!

Oh man, picture this: I dial up Chabelitas, craving a tamale apocalypse, and boldly order 30 of…read morethose bad boys. That's right, 30--enough to build a fortress or bribe an entire neighborhood watch. But the lady on the phone hits me with the sass cannon: "Are you SURE you want 30 tamales? I mean, it's gonna be like $120," delivered in that tone that's equal parts eye-roll and "30 tamales is beyond our capabilities" revelation. Look, I've slaved over homemade tamales with my family--picture us in the kitchen like a chaotic assembly line of corn husks and masa mishaps, laughing through the sweat. But hey, isn't that literally the restaurant's gig? To crank out tamales whether it's a dainty dozen or a full-on fiesta invasion? I politely inquire why my order is apparently triggering World War Tamale, and she snaps back, "Do you want them or NOT?" like I'm auditioning for a reality show called "Survivor: Takeout Edition." I've haunted this joint more times than a ghost in a piñata factory, and I could pick that female voice out of a lineu...blindfolded. Clearly, business is booming so hard they can audition customers now--must be nice! As a prehistoric patron from the early Chabelitas era (back when dinosaurs probably ordered the specials), I bet if I'd waltzed in person, they'd have rolled out the red carpet instead of the red-hot attitude. Next time, I'll just show up with a mariachi band to announce my tamale conquest. Lesson learned: Phone orders are not for the faint of heart, or maybe Chabelitas just has the wrong Chabala at the phone. Chabelitas, kick that nasty attitude to the curb. Adios to Xabelitas, La Mexicana de Columbus took my order in less than two minutes and I'm OMW to get them now.

The interior is so cutesy, from the window bar-ish area with outlets facing outside, to tables and couches enough for two, four, or more, this is definitely the spot for any occasion. The staff were so nice, gave great recs. I was gonna get their matcha but they ran out, which was no biggie cause I got a drink in latte form instead as recommended. I had the golden bracket latte, and did not disappoint! It's definitely on the sweeter side, but still enjoyed it. Really enjoyed the cold foam! For lunch, I had the hickory smoked Turkey Swiss and it was *chef's kiss* so divine. The mayo really ties it all together! Their soup was a lemon chicken rice which was really delish! The soup, and the pickle with the sandwich, really complimented well together with just the bite it needed. 100% will be back :) I'll be camped out here for a couple more hours- something tells me I'll be ordering another bite in just a few minutes. Highly recommend :)

I never liked salads much before I started eating at Parker's but now I will actually crave their salads, especially with that kale pesto ranch dressing. I've never had anything here that wasn't good. My favorites of their soups are the Hungarian mushroom, the roasted cauliflower, or the spinach and artichoke. My favorite sandwiches are the Havarti Party, the chicken salad, egg salad, or the tuna salad hot pressed on wheat. My husband loves the Godfather and the Reuben. We also love the spinach feta quiche and the sweet gobbler sandwich. They also have a variety of baked goods and latte options. More people need to know about this place! It's a local gem!
