We have been back to Abe's a number of times since I reviewed Abe's because the food is so good. And, it continues to be excellent! We took our adult grandkids to let them share in the experience. They absolutely loved the place. The same...is true for friends we have take here. Our schedule was pretty loose, and we always have been at the restaurant in the "off" hours--after 2:00 or before 11:00.
This update is to let you you know that the place is packed during the lunch hours. We had a hard time finding a table at lunch today! We were there at 12:00 and we were totally surprised to see so many dinners, and they just kept on coming in. It is very popular with people in the area and soldiers from the air base (Ellington) up the street. There are no reservations here. Parking at the lunch huts is also an issue--it is crowded. There are a few tables outside, but they have a view of the parking lot, a noisy street, and the patrons entering the restaurant.
The "4" rating continues to be a good assessment of the property. This is not a fancy place and it not at all pretentious. It is simply nice people serving great food that will "transport" you to Bourbon Street, New Orleans. The chicken and sausage gumbo continues to be my favorite--you can order it in a large bowl, with rice and wonderful corn bread. It will fill your stomach and make you smile! They have a station with doggy bags to let you take home what you can't eat. I think 50% of the dinners walk out with bags!
NOTE: I just noticed that very few people have reviewed this property. It surprises me, or they do not want to let the secret out?More
