What's not to like! – This has been a favorite of mine since I moved to San Antone in 2002. I have taken friends here and grandchildren. It is always wonderful. The servers are always pleasant, courteous and efficient. Earl's has the very absolute best open-faced roast beef sandwich EVER. The coconut pie and coffee are always favorites. My grandson thinks the chocolate malts are the best too. Earl's has senior plates and daily specials and the cooking is excellent. What ever you choose will be a treat for your taste buds.
Wonderful People & Excellent Food! – The staff at Earl Abel's are wonderful people that support their community and serve awesome home cooking!
No Reason to Return – When we got there, the place was about 1/3rd full, yet we had to wait a long time to get seated. The line was 8 deep before they even looked our way. After we were seated it was more of the same. Very slow to take our orders, bring our food out, bring condiments (which we eventually had to get up and get ourselves in full view of the host, who didn't even flinch), and to bring our bill. The server apologized at the end, after he had slacked during the whole meal. When we were paying, the manager rang us... read more
I don't get it – My first trip to Earl Abel's was shortly after I moved here, early this year. A friend and I went there for dinner, and both meals - while a bit expensive, comparatively speaking - were excellent: fresh, well-prepared and ample portions. In the intervening months, I've eaten three additional meals here (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and have been sorely disappointed. First, the restaurant itself has kind of a funky odor: not quite curdled milk and not quite rancid cooking oil, but something similarly unappet... read more
get real people – earl abel's reincarnated is true to it predecessor in every way...it even improves on the old formula. but, beyond all that, it still has the best chocolate and german chocolate cake on the planet. really. it must be experienced...often ;)
Better to leave – First time for my newly wed wife and I to acquaint ourselves with what we thought to be a very well rounded eatery. We just received our sets of wedding pictures and we wanted a nice place to look at them and enjoy a well cooked meal. We ordered Tea and Coke and the waitress addressed me as if I was a child and told me that I could only have one refill. Ok- I ordered an appetizer so that we could snack while we shared this time together looking at the pictures. We also ordered chicken dishes. Within minutes... read more
Worst food and service ever for a well known restaurant – I am sad to say, this is not you parents Earl Abels. It still has the originators name on the sign, but I would bet Earl would not be Abel to sleep if he knew to what depths of poor quality and service his restaurant has descended to. Six of us went for dinner. We ordered everything from a club sandwich to chicken fried steak, to grilled pork chops, to spaghetti and meatballs. We had wanted to order fried chicken, but were told they were out of chicken. That is akin t... read more
CLOSED – Just to let everyone know Earl Abel's is now closed. Rumor has it someone is building condominiums. Sorry!
Greedy Condo Developers Destroy a Classic – It was one sad day when the greedy condo developers bulldozed this place. But, we can all look forward to a nice, new shiney tower full of arrogant egomanics who, quite sadly, haven't moved out of State. It is very bad mojo to bulldoze a classic!!!
