    Enjoyed asada tacos, bacon cheeseburgers, and blue cheese burger. Service was great with a cozy and casual environment. Will be returning and absolutely recommend

    Ambiance - Midwest nice meets South of the Border. You will understand when you come. Unique setting and very welcoming. Service - With a smile! Everyone from the hostess, waitress, and cook were congenial and attentive. Food - Both breakfast entrees we ordered were above par (which is average if you are a golfer so skip the metaphor). Very good! I am anxious to return for a lunch, and then again to try their dinner entrees.

    Devil huevos rancheros. They pack a spicy punch. Yum!

    This place is small, noisy and packed with people...that's a good thing! It's a cozy diner with a small town feel and very friendly servers. My mom had a roast beef sandwich and I had the devil huevos rancheros. The jalepenos, chorizo and chile pack a fantastic spicy punch. Overall a fun place and we'll go back. One word of advice: don't go close to closing. They start cleaning and the smell of disinfectant is very strong.

    Hue bod with jalapeños and chorizo wow it's great

    Great food, even better service. the food is consistently good. If you haven't tried Gabe's try it you'll be a regular.

    Only came here because there was a wait at Georgia Boy's. Definitely won't be back. I got fish and chips. The oil needs to be changed. Tasted like old funky oil. The fish wasn't any better than frozen fish. Coleslaw was bland. Took forever and everything we ordered was fried or a sandwich. The server was nice so that's why I gave 2 stars. I don't know how they stay open.

    Frederick has some quaint little spots to take in the small town vibe, and Gabe's is one of them. Walking up to and into the establishment it screams local. We were greeted and seated w/n a minute. Our waitress had a smile on her face every time she interacted with us and others. The interior has an open industrial vibe. The acoustics are good enough to enjoy a conversation at your own table w/o being too distracted. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. The food was made to order, but we had it w/n about 10-15 mins. The green chili, beans, eggs, tortillas, and hash browns were a solid team that formed a solid Huevos Rancheros. The star was definitely the green chili which was loaded with flavor. If you're up in the Frederick area, want a solid breakfast and be amongst the locals stop in and grab a bite!

    This place is outstanding! Food is good. Service is good, what a great little diner. I will be back and highly recommend it.

    The take-out breakfast burrito purchased on 12/22/2024, and verified by the staff to be "how they're made."

    Though I've been a fan of Gabe's since moving to Frederick almost three years ago, their take-out breakfast burritos that they so proudly advertise on the front window are now laughable. I've gotten them before and they've been decent. But, not joking - see what you get, below, for $5. I even went back to verify - the very polite hostess advised that's the take-out burrito size (I didn't want a refund or anything; I just wanted to know if there'd been a mistake). If this is a cost saving measure for better margins on take-out burritos, Gabe's may be best to get out of the takeout game since this just pisses off loyal, usually sit-down customers. For a take-out breakfast burrito, you're better off going to Santiago's for $3.60 or a food truck for $6 (both not far off from Tipple and Colorado). For full clarity, the staff is always very friendly, welcoming, and professional. The food options on the rest of the menu are still great.

    What a great little pizza joint and brewery! Great beers and…read morejust as great food. Amazingly friendly atmosphere. The owners and staff are so welcoming. They seem to have a large number of home brews. And for the sports lovers, such as myself, there are plenty of large TV's. In short, I will be stopping by here anytime I am around the area.

    We visited Mirror Image regularly. We went yesterday 4/11 for an early dinner. They were busy, but…read morethere were plenty of tables. We ordered our pizza and my husband very specifically asked for no mozzarella, but ALL ricotta on his pizza with the detroit crust. The girl seemed confused but didn't ask to clarify anything. The pizzas came out and were dropped at our table with no napkins, plates or silverware. My husband got up to ask for silverware and the annoyed bartender handed him silverware, got back to the table and realized there were no napkins in the bag that holds the silverware so he got back up to get napkins; very annoyed, the bartender handed him napkins. Didn't dare ask for plates, parmesan or red pepper flakes, so we ate off of the pizza trays, even though we were sharing pizzas. Then we realized my husband's pizza wasn't the detroit crust. Whelp, no one checked to see if our food was ok. We were completely ignored the whole time unless we flagged someone down. So, once again, my husband got up to go get someone. They took the pizza and then one of the staff came to our table to tell US what we asked for, which was completely incorrect! She started to clarify what the detroit crust is, which we know what it is, been there a lot. And then says, 'You ordered no cheese!' Um, no he didn't! He ordered the detroit crust and no mozzarella with all ricotta. Isn't ricotta a cheese? She said, 'Oh, well there was some confusion.' No apology and if there was confusion then come back and ask us before making the pizza. Again, we were completely ignored and the blonde bartender was SO rude to us. Not sure what we did except eat at your business. Not sure why we were completely ignored the whole time and treated like we were a burden and they didn't want us there. They were visibly annoyed. We weren't nasty in any way and were gracious. I'm still upset that my husband even tipped, honestly, I hope it went to the kids in the kitchen only. All they did was take our order, tell us what we ordered, and ignored us. Not asking for special treatment, just decent and kind service. Awful. And we drive a ways to eat at this establishment. Never again!
