    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.

    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.

They do have mixed drinks, but extremely limited. Completely understandable since they are a brewery. Nice patio, dog friendly, but furry friends have to be on the patio. Definitely worth the check out if you're in the area. *Side note, this is a Philadelphia Eagles space, so, on Sundays expect the Eagles to be on every TV. They will have the Broncos on as well, but you've been warned!

Unfortunately they were all out of gluten free crusts. I instead got the med salad and chips and queso and my husband ordered a deep dish pizza. My salad was not good at all. The grilled chicken on it was quite literally inedible. It was 100% frozen chicken from a bag that was heated up and thrown on top. It was chewy, and had the weirdest taste. I knew the second I saw the chicken that it wasn't going to be good, as it was almost translucent in appearance. The chips and queso were just okay. You could tell the chips were cheap and straight out of a bag, half of ours were crumbs. The queso tasted pretty much like movie theatre queso with some salsa added in. My husbands pizza was just okay, nothing great. The service was just okay as well. Unfortunately we will not be back.

The employee who assisted me at pickup seemed rushed and not very welcoming, which left me feeling hurried out the door before I had a chance to properly inspect the cake. When I got home, I was disappointed with the decorating quality. The fishing-themed design looked rushed, the writing was uneven, and the overall presentation did not look like what I would expect from a custom cake at this price point. After cutting into the cake, I found it to be dry and it left an unpleasant aftertaste. While the cake appeared to be the correct flavor, the quality and taste did not meet my expectations. I also reached out directly to the bakery in an attempt to resolve the issue before leaving a review. Unfortunately, I never received a response. I would have appreciated the opportunity to discuss my concerns and find a resolution, but my email went unanswered. For $67, I expected a much more polished cake, better quality, and better customer service. Based on my experience, I would not order from this bakery again
