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.

The waiting area and restaurant.

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!

Fish and chips

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.

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.
