It hurts me to write this review because I've been rocking with Gabe's for a long time. I've recommended it to plenty of people, and several of them ended up loving it just as much as I did.
I usually order through Uber Eats because it's a pretty good distance from me, but over the last six months to a year, something has drastically changed.
The quality of the chicken is completely off. The fries aren't the same either. The ranch is still on point, so I'll give them that.
Last night I ordered a six piece, and I could barely chew the chicken. It wasn't tender or juicy. It was tough, rubbery, and felt like I was chewing something I couldn't even break down. Some of the skin had a weird slippery, almost plastic-like texture that I couldn't bite through. It honestly didn't taste like real chicken, and it definitely didn't taste like the chicken I used to get from Gabe's.
To make matters worse, I ordered a Coke that arrived warm. Not cool, not room temperature, but warm enough that it clearly hadn't been refrigerated.
Food is too expensive these days to be playing with people's meals. I don't know if they changed chicken vendors, changed suppliers, or changed the way they prepare it, but something is different, and not in a good way.
I'm genuinely disappointed because this used to be one of my favorite spots. read more
