    Waffle Platter
    Billie C.

    A great local spot for breakfast or lunch! This menu is massive and has something for everyone. It mentioned a typical wait of 30 minutes, but we got seated right away. Great service and the food came out quicker than we expected. All of the food was good, but the skillet was a definite winner.

    There were so many employees so we were seated quickly and waited on fast! The server was efficient and friendly. The food was absolutely fantastic large portions. I can't imagine people eat everything on their plate. I got a biscuit and this thing was huge. Look at the picture. The largest biscuit I have had for breakfast and it was very tasty. great location easy in and out of the parking lot .

    A breakfast-all-day establishment that serves large portions and lunch menu items as well. I got the Fried Egg Skillet which was large enough for 2 meals. and very tasty. The service was eggscellent () and the restaurant is very clean. St. Martin watches over it.

    At the Fried Egg restaurant with our new car.

    What a wonderful place to have breakfast! We drove from Fort Wayne to purchase our new car at Denney Motor Sales in Wabash, In on the afternoon of June 3rd. We didn't have time to eat breakfast before we left home, and when we left the dealership, we were starving. Randy Denney recommended the Fried Egg restaurant to us because they serve breakfast all day. The moment we walked in, we noticed right away that the restaurant was clean and bright and the staff was friendly. Our server was helpful and attentive and explained the popular menu items. We highly recommend the Cinnamon Roll pancake. It is incredibly good. We can not say enough about how delicious they are. Enjoy them with a cup of hot coffee. Yum. We wish we lived closer to Wabash so we could enjoy this restaurant more often. We highly recommend you visit The Fried Egg restaurant for breakfast. You will be impressed.

    Amazing place. It was busy but they sat us quickly, provided great service, and had huge portions! I got the fried egg skillet and it was amazing. She got the Idaho omelette and I have included a picture of that. Finally, I love chips and salsa. (I fancy myself a salsa and salad connoisseur). I recommend their "spicy" salsa verde.

    My Cousin treated us to The Fried Egg today. We had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. The restaurant is doing some things right with Covid safety. They are limiting seating capacity and staff have on masks. They have signs up for guest to wear masks but very few people were. At times I noticed the servers weren't all keeping them up on their mouth and nose. They did have have hand sanitizer in a couple places. Ok the food. #1 Pork Chops with, eggs, hash browns and toast. The chops were a good size and you get two of them. #2 Country Fried Steak with, eggs, hash browns and toast. The steak was tender and covered with gravy. #3 Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with eggs, bacon, and sausage. The pancakes were amazing. #4 Two egg meal with bacon, hash browns and toast. They did a perfect job on the over medium eggs and the bacon was the perfect crisp. We all really enjoyed our meals. Our server was friendly and moving at a good pace. She told us it was her first day back since foot surgery. She did an awesome job. Everyone please wear your masks, even if you think Covid is a joke you may actually protect someone and not even know it.

    Visiting the area and wanted to have breakfast before the Mother's Day crowd arrived. We were happy to see that the Fried Egg opens early, we arrived around 7:30 AM. Already a decent sized crowd. The hostess seated us right away and our server was at our table quickly and got us some coffee. Large menu. I ordered the cinnamon pancake platter with eggs and bacon, and my partner ordered the regular pancake platter. The food arrived soon after and was very good. Regarding COVID: None of the staff was masked. Coming from Monroe county, Indiana, where there is still a mask mandate, it was weird to see servers not masked. However, it is a county by county thing and each county is different.

    Based on the cars in the parking lot this is a good choice to stop for breakfast. We were quickly seated and waited on by our server. The coffee was served hot and fresh. We decided to split a Texas Breakfast Sandwich with hash browns. We told our server we were going to split it and she actually already brought it plated for us on 2 plates. There are lots of options on the menu.

    I would have rated this five stars had they enforced people wearing masks. All of the staff was wearing a mask which is great but there was no sign on the door upon entry about wearing a mask until seated. The entire place was extremely clean, including the restrooms. They were strategically placing people, to encourage social distancing at least. I had the cinnamon roll pancake platter. The eggs were extremely fluffy, bacon was fried perfectly, the sausage was cooked perfectly, and the cinnamon roll pancakes were wonderful. Butter and syrup on these pancakes would have just ruined them. My husband had ham, eggs, and fried potatoes. He said everything was wonderful, as well. We were taken care of very efficiently. She kept our coffee full, checked on us in perfect time and everyone was super friendly. We will definitely stop back by when we are in Wabash or passing through.

    Gabriel's Pancake House - Greasy & overly crunchy hash browns. Expensive.

    I reluctantly now give Gabriel's two stars. Borders on one really. It had been a few years. This…read moreplace is not packed like it once was. It used to be a struggle to find parking. They still have the goofy hours closing at three. It felt dark & dingy. Pieces of trash on floor runners as walked to our seats. Pieces of napkin? The cloth seats of the booths are stained. Although it's always been overpriced, it's gone up even more, and it's just not pleasant now. Three women at the front hostess desk didn't acknowledge my party right away, and when one did, she seemed annoyed we were there. Our server wasn't any more welcoming nor friendly. Worse, actually. I received a large mug of decaf. No non-dairy options and given bowl of individual cups of half-and-half. While it proved to actually be devoid of caffeine, the coffee didn't taste good at all. Not sure what brand they must be using. No refills offered for our table, but I couldn't even finish this cup. $3.00 for this crap. Soft drinks are nearly $4, juice almost $3 and $4 depending on the size... Everything here is extremely overpriced. The portion of hash browns I was given was huge, but they were not good either. I normally have trouble with undercooked hash browns with no color when I go out. These were overcooked and too crunchy to get on a fork. Greasy. Rye toast okay. I'm sure real dairy butter. I didn't bother to ask... I'm glad they offer mushrooms. However, I could tell they came from a can. I also like that tomato juice is an option, but I didn't get that this time. Rye bread is a welcomed sight. Given checks before we were finished. No drink refills offered. I was never brought the straw the server said she owed me. She only had one on hand. You must take your check up front to pay. As annoyed as they seemed to have us come in the doors, you'd think they would have checked us out sooner. My two sides ala carte with coffee came to over $11 before tip. Not pictured, a lady at my table paid even more for a fountain drink and their granola and yogurt parfait with fruit. It looked good, but good Lord. $12 and change?? Just really unenthusiastic attitudes. Food quality and atmosphere went WAYYY down. I feel like I need a shower and to put my clothes in the wash from feeling greasy and having that oily smell cling to my shirt which was fresh when I went in. I don't know how this place is still in business other than the fact that it's one of the only restaurant options in this awful little town, so you don't have much choice if you want to go somewhere to sit down... I don't plan to return. The staff won't ever have to be inconvenienced by me again. You had one job...

    I hope that my experience today was just a fluke and Gabriel's isn't going down hill. But wow it…read morewas remarkably bad. My Biscuits and Gravy tasted like they were made with spoiled ingredients. The eggs were very undercooked. The hash browns were cold. The waitress was inattentive. I may give another chance in the future because I have had good experiences in the past but likely not for a long time. If I get another bad one, I won't go back at all. Very disappointed.

The restaurant was a lot more kitschy than I was expecting, which I loved. Our waitress had a wonderful energy. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. The menu had several unique items. I ordered a Scottish soda called IRN BRU. I love trying food and drinks from around the world. It tasted like an Orange Crush soda. Our waitress said they were known for their Cauliflower soup. It was cold outside so soup sounded perfect. I also got a pepper jack grilled cheese. The soup came in a huge bowl. The combo of the soup and grilled cheese was very filling. My friends ordered the sticky pudding. I had a bite and it was delicious. I cant believe it's taken me so long to eat here. I throughly enjoyed it and cant wait for my next road trip.

In fact it is my favorite restaurant of all time. Sunday we stopped again. I had the British chicken curry and the fatoush. It was amazing as usual. That fatoush is so refreshing! My wife had the pork chop which comes with these amazing mashed potatoes with mustard seasoning that will blow your mind. She can never finish because it's so much food, which is OK with me because I help her out some. My favorite way to eat this is to mix a little mashed potato, mustard and pork chop together into one delicious bite. We were too full for dessert, but the times that we had the dessert here were spectacular as well. Thank you to all the people that work at Paynes, please don't change anything, you are the best!
