I had driven by this place so many times cruising down Clifton, when I found myself in the neighborhood looking for a lunch spot, I decided to check Gabe's out.
They were slow, but it was a weekday afternoon a little after the usual lunch hour. No waiting for me! I was very impressed by the menu. There was quite a bit to choose from, but not so much as to be overwhelming. I really like how fresh everything was and that they get all their bread locally.
I did the half sandwich and soup combo. Both of the soups they had were new to me, but I tried the zucchini parmesan, a take on broccoli cheddar I assume. It was delicious! For the sandwich I got the Birdtown which was also darn tasty.
You might be turned off by the prices in comparison to say a Jimmy John's or some place that offers 5 dollar footlongs, but you definitely get your money's worth. Not only is the food better, but the portions are generous. My boyfriend had me grab him a sandwich (the Deer Hunter) to bring back and he could only eat half of it.
I definitely would recommend Gabe's if you're looking for some deliciousness between two slices of bread.
