Extreme Makeover!! Great Deals and Service!

by bocka39

Gabe's has recently had a Extreme Makeover!! The new owners and management have spent a tremendous time redecorating and creating a better atmosphere for the customers to enjoy cocktails or dinner. I have been in the restaurant on many occasions and love the way that they great you at the door! Now that?s good customer service! I have always had excellent service and love hearing about the new things that are going to be happening at Gabe's . Some of the things the managers have told me is the will soon introduce the new name Gabe's Roadhouse which i think fits that restaurant perfectly! I have heard that the new menu is on its way any day now, and I cant wait to get back in there and try it to enjoy more fabulous meals. This restaurant has come a long way from what it used to be. Living around the area really makes it nice to have a good restaurant only 5 mins from my house. I would defiantly recommend this to families and couples for dinner or just going to grab a few drinks during happy hour with live music!! Great job Gabe's keep up the good work! -Betsy

• Pros: Great Customer Service, Awesome Meals, Live Music during happy hour!
• Cons: Nothing

Setting the record straight!

by lou32

Can I just address the girl that has personally attacked Skeeter in which she has only met for a mere moment...shame on you!!! I would say that you have some deep personal issues that you need to work through...some may call it a major case of jealousy of ones friend. I have met Skeeter on several occations and he has always been a perfect gentlemen to me and all of my girlfriends that have come to Gabes. He is full of new and exciting ideas, and what changes he's made have been a pleasant surprise . He greets everyone that comes into Gabes as if they were a friend...not as some "pervert" as she had stated.

Why would anyone go online and personally bash someones reputation without even knowing them..some class. Class is what Skeeter is all about.

So..people reading the womans hateful email please disregard, because if you ask anyone they will tell you what a pleasure it is to go to Gabes and meet thier friendly staff, eat their delicious food and be greeted by Skeeter himself!

Sincerely,

AWESOME SERVICE!!!

by princessdeja

What an improvement!!!!! Last time we went here was about 5 years ago. It went from a little sports bar to now becoming a relaxing, cool restaurant with new ideas, FABULOUS FOOD (homecooked, big portions), and friendly, attentive staff. Love how the owner and manager came out to greet us and take the time to make sure our experience was a good one! The place was bigger inside than we thought & clean with a lot of different things going on. Had the Steak special on a thursday night and we couldn't believe how much flavor & how BIGGGG!!!! Great deal - small-town feel!!! Husband ate all his, but I took half home and heated the next day with every bit of flavor it had the night before!!! Highly recommended restaurant in the heart of St.Paul!!! Keep up the Good Work!!!

• Pros: AWESOME STEAK SPECIAL!!!!!
• Cons: NONE!

St. Paul Saints fans and Packer Backers make tracks for this local sports haven.

by Contributor

In Short
Standing on the edge of St. Paul's Como Park, Gabe's provides sanctuary, beer and sandwiches for local fans of the Green Bay Packers. When the Saints sell out nearby Midway Stadium , this bar because a healthily crowded pre- and postgame hang. While the central bar area is often choked with smoke, the outlying booths are comfortable for dining. The sandwiches, salads and appetizers are all above average.

Great before Saints games!

by emyvoo

I love Gabe's...everytime I go there, I end up leaving with a new friend or two. People there are just so friendly and you wind up talking with everybody there. Check out Gabe's before and after Saints games for some real fun! This is a great one-of-a-kind place if you're like me and fed up with the coookie-cutter Sportsbars (i.e. Champps, Joe Sensor's).

• Pros: Unique, Fun
• Cons: No DJ

Just painted and redecorated

by aaajjjlll

I think Gabes is one of the last bars on earth where people are people and the staff remembers your name and the last conversation you had the last time you were in. They upgraded the tv's - cleaned it up, got a jukebox and repainted. You could compare this bar to Cheers - where you feel comfortable and can get some great homecooked food. Gabes caters to all sports groups and has a great banquet area. Lots of new specials and late night hh, it's just a great place or hh or family dinner.

• Pros: Always a special going on
• Cons: No dj

You've got to be kidding...

by kel479

What a dump. I feel bad for the people that work in the Bandana Square area if this is the only choice for food within walking distance. An absolute disaster from the minute I walked through the door. My table smelled like old dish rag complete with a menu that stuck to the surface. Flies EVERYWHERE! Our waitress had the personality of a lamp post. Seriously, it was one of the worst dining experiences of my life. I wouldn't tell a starving soul to eat at Gabe's. The only saving grace is the cute little lady that welcomed everyone coming in and out of the door. This place should close for a week and have a good scrub down. It's filthy. Maybe a week wouldn't be long enough.

Good bar/restaurant no matter what the event

by packerfan4life

This is a good place to meet up with friends / coworkers after a long day at the office, after a victory on the ballfield, before or after a concert or just for the heck of it. The food here is really good, cant go wrong with the buffalo chicken sandwich, pasta a la gabes, any type of burger or chicken nachos. The servers are very friendly and attentive. If you are a Packers, St Paul Saints or Iowa Hawkeyes fan, stop in for a game or two, you wont be disappointed.

• Pros: Food, Service, Game Time Atmosphere
• Cons: Parking on SPS Nights, Bathrooms

Go pack go

by offermgl

Packer bar in minnesota, since minnesota is full of packer fans they need more bars like these, i have been to viking bars in minneapolis and st paul that arent this packed or fun for football games. The food was ok, but dont go there just to eat, have a drink and watch the game
