No Food (Except Byron Bobe's re-heated pizza). He's dead and now a Corp owns it using the Bobe's name. As well, it might be the only place in a 15 mile radius to find a date. However, that comes at a price. Get ready for every dude in the bar to have eyes on you. It might be their Ex, their cousin, their daughter, or their current wife or GF. Any of those options makes you a target, and you won't be able to tell whose lookin' at who kid.

Great small town bar worth stopping by to check out!…read more FOOD: A step up from normal deep-fried-everything and hockey-puck- hamburgers bar food but doesn't try to get too crazy. They stick to the basics and do them well. The burgers alone make a visit worthwhile. DRINKS: Limited draft beer selection but they have had one or two unique brews on tap (Moose Drool on tap last time I visited-haven't seen that on tap anywhere in a long time!). Anything in a bottle or can will be domestic and in the Bud/Miller families. Full service bar and they poor em stiff! AMBIENCE: Cool feel to the place with lots of exposed brick and the bar itself being a very cool antique looking motif. They have an internet juke box that the patrons keep playing all night long. KID FRIENDLY: Yes. Seen lots and lots of kids eating here with their families but this becomes more of a bar as the night goes on, so beware. OVERALL: Great bar with above average food.

We decided last minute this morning at the hotel to grab Sunday Brunch at Gabby Goat before heading back home and we don't regret it. Well, he might as he's driving and I will for sure be taking a nap like the passenger princess I am. We've always passed through Effingham on our travels but have never visited until now. 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!

While the dish looks topping heavy, there was a big bed of lettuce underneath. I liked the variety of the menu. The only complaint food-wise was the size of their kids "chicken tenders", it felt like they breaded a whole chicken breast. The servers were friendly and the wait for food was short. The patio overlooks Lake Sara and has a nice view. They had a several bar games to play to pass time. The men's bathroom was a bit messy by the urinal. However they had a changing table, which can be rare in men's restrooms. Accessibility note: they had a gravel non-paved driveway.

We went two nights in a row while traveling for work and the bartender was a hoot. Big fan. She kept the drink coming and was entertaining the entire time. The daily deals were rock bottom priced. The flashing TikTok clouds were an interesting choice but lightened the place up. There are several pool tables and a golf video game.
