This is one of our favorite relaxed places to eat. They always have great food and equally great service...with a sense of humor which is always a plus! Their steaks, fish, salads (with their homemade dressing) and sandwiches have always been delicious each time we've eaten there.

The food was delicious and the waitress was delightful. Never heard of a chicken philly before, but it was a great choice. Some of the best food I've had in a while.

Yesterday was my second time eating at Gabby‘s, and it was so good! I would highly recommend it. I got a grilled chicken tortilla sandwich, but not sure if that’s what it was really called; and then bread pudding was the special dessert for the day. I love bread pudding and it was so good! I brought half my meal home so I could eat it for dinner last night.

I've had the pleasure of dinning there on three different occasions and, it is a must now, anytime in the area. between the incredible food, very creative and nice atmosphere they've created, I was honored to be there on the first night and, just had lunch last week. Incredibly good place- I'd say that the 4.5-4.8 is little low- I'd say," give it a try"- think you'll like it

The food at Gabby's On Main was absolutely delicious! We had the catfish filet dinner with Gabby chips and baked beans and the mushroom swiss burger with potato salad. The real highlight of the meal was the bread pudding which was exceptional. The service was second to none. Do yourself a favor and go get yourself some Gabby's. Five Stars All Day
