    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!

    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.

    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.

    Oh my goodness ... we found a gem in old town Frederick... we popped in for a Sunday brunch after soccer ... what a cute place! The food was dynamite... we had a mixed of breakfasts, brunch items, and even lunch items, and if I didn't know better, I think people were licking their plates clean... The service was impeccable. We had a great waitress, and the food came out really quick... We enjoyed waffles, eggs, pancakes, skillets, omelettes, eggs, Benedict, hot roast beef sandwiches... every body was really happy ....

    This spot is absolutely worth the drive…read more The town is so cool it's a nice break from Denver. The food is spectacular. Can't say enough good things about their duck & steak dishes. Do not miss their signature carrot cake dessert. Oh and "han shot first"

    Disappointing Experience at 24 Carat in Erie!!!…read more My daughter and I stopped into 24 Carat in Erie toward the end of the night, hoping to enjoy a nice dinner and a few shareable dishes. Unfortunately, the experience fell well short of what we expected. We started with the kale Parmesan dip, which we were told was a hot skillet and that we should be careful. Unfortunately, it arrived lukewarm. We also ordered several shareable items, including the seared shrimp and prosciutto and Palisade peach dishes. The shrimp was lukewarm unseasoned and burnt, and the pasta accompanying it was cold and lacked much flavor. We also ordered the Pozole duck after discussing the soup of the day with our server. That dish never came. When we asked about it, our server said she didn't hear us order it. Mistakes happen, and we understand that, but combined with the other issues, it added to an already disappointing experience. The biggest issue was the overall feeling throughout the meal. It was very apparent that the staff was ready for the night to be over. I really wanted to like 24 Carat, especially being a local restaurant in Erie, but unfortunately the food temperature, missed order, and overall service made this a disappointing visit. Hopefully this was just an off night, because there is clearly potential for this to be a great local spot. $100 disappointment!!!!
