Sunday morning breakfast buffet. It's hard to go wrong there and Abele's did a very good job. A…read morefriendly waitress brought our carafe of coffee and while Mrs. K. decided to order from the menu, I started on the buffet. Before I was back with my first plate, her French Toast arrived. A great selection of proteins on the steam table and a nice variety of the classic breakfast offerings. A big plate of scrambled eggs and I was able to add cheese sauce and mushrooms on one side of my plate. On the other, some sausage links (very overdone) and some sliced ham (extremely salty). Lots of other high carb options available including biscuits, pancakes, French toast sticks, cheese and plain grits, home fries and tots. Something that might have been fried chicken livers and also some pieces of fried chicken. A dessert bar with banana pudding, jellos and fruits was also available. The place is clean and the service was great, clearing dirty dishes and restocking coffee creamer. A satisfying meal for sure. [Review 542 of 2026 - 4637 in North Carolina - 25724 overall]

Menu is extensive, something for everyone or you always get the salad , soup and hot bar. Nothing fancy but is exactly what you may want. The restaurant is eclectic with all kinds of signs and pict, something to see. Their booths are nice and large. They have tables too if booths are not your preference. They have lighter dinners and their normal meals are large. Fries are always good and baked potatoes are hot! Large burgers, several kinds, Try the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. One of my favorites. They also do a breakfast bar in the mornings and later Friday nights.

My only complaint was that the kitchen took a while to get our food out, but the appetizers and salads came out quickly and if I returned super hungry I would order a soup or salad before dinner. My salmon was top notch. The skin was crispy and the meat was perfectly cooked. My god mother loved her tomato bisque and fried oysters. The grits an polenta were what everyone at the bar was talking about. Many of the cocktails looked delicious and I can wait to come back sometime when I can try a few. It's a perfect spot for a special occasion or a date night.

I saw the Brussel sprouts appetizer on another table that also seemed inviting. I'll have to get that next time. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. The chicken had a very nice kick to it and was worth the price. My fiancé ordered the shrimp pasta with zoodles. Cooked very well, but it was a little small for me, but not for her. I also know from another member of the party they can even cook a filet mignon Pittsburgh style, so the kitchen has some talent in the back. Also has very nice and attentive staff, and even met the owner. We will definitely come back here again

As a vegetarian I am highly impressed by the different options and creative spins on the classic sandwich/wrap! Today my wait was a bit long but that first bite made the wait completely worth it. I'm not saying that lightly either, I truly mean it. Each sandwich is hand crafted with care, each recipe has been developed with perfection in mind, and each bite is full of amazing flavor. It's clear someone with a lot of passion and respect for food is running this place! Limbertwig Cafe is a little hidden gem in downtown Morganton and I wish every town had one!

There is local artwork displayed on the walls as you enter. You place your order directly at the counter, take a number, and your food is brought out to your table when it is ready. The menu is quite large, and it took a bit of time to decide on my order, but I ultimately went with a combo including a half ham wrap, a drink, and a side of pasta salad. The cashier was very good about openly telling everyone in line about price differences from the printed menu before ordering. Because the kitchen was experiencing a significant delay, it seemed like they quietly upgraded me to a whole wrap as a nice peace offering! It came cut into two parts, with one part wrapped neatly in foil. Personally, I really wish they offered a "build your own" option where you could just choose your own specific bread, meat, cheese, and toppings, rather than having to hunt through the large preset menu options to find a combination where you like everything. I was really surprised by how incredibly small the side portion of pasta salad was--about the size of a standard salad dressing container! I've honestly never seen a side dish served that small before, so I posted a photo of the two side by side to show the exact comparison. Next time, I would skip the combo entirely and just order the sandwich on its own. The ham wrap itself was really good, and the small bite of pasta salad was very tasty. However, it did take quite a bit longer than it should have for the food to leave the kitchen, so this slow wait time could definitely be an issue for someone on a tight lunch schedule.
