We have been going to Gabe's for years! Great food at a reasonable price. The service is top notch!

I second the vote for 'hole in the wall,' and such a find! Perfect breakfast for the drive home after my early morning "O' dark thirty flight," with 1/2 Gabe's skillet with green chili. Just the right mix, with one egg and their homemade raisin toast (a touch of sweet and savory). Will do it again..... read more

Went there when they first moved to Frederick from Dacono and they hadn't quite got the kinks out yet. Have been there twice since then and everything is GREAT! Nicest Service, great food, great prices! read more

Gabe's is a convenient place to grab some breakfast. The food is ok, not great, but not awful.

Food quality is excellent. Service staff is friendly and helpful. A bit noisy inside the building but still a great experience for a nice meal read more

Breakfast is really good here. Love the breakfast burrito. The wait staff are very attentive

Food is great and so is the customer service. Be prepared to wait a little bit to be seated during the breakfast brunch hours on the weekend. They get busy! My only complaint is how sticky the booth and table were both times we ate here. Could do a little better wiping things down. Country fried steak and eggs with hash browns was great. Burger and fries were great. Kids love the pancakes. Biscuits and gravy also great. read more

Just moved to town and found Gabes cafe. A great local spot with friendly service. I had juevos rancheros and it was fantastic!

Great little "mom & pop" place... right down to the hand written checks!! Service & Staff: 5 Food: 5 Atmoshere: 5 Unimposing outside but hides an awesome little local place with out of this world chicken fried steak, waffles, coffee, corn beef hash & everything else. HIGHLY RECOMMEND... NOT DRESSY, JUST DELICIOUS read more

Gabe's has delicious food and excellent service. I love that place. Everyone is super friendly and efficient.

I love this place ! Great customer service , very attentive ! Came from California and stopped by for a quick breakfast , would come again if I was in the area! read more

Cheap, close and delicious!!! Live right behind here and it's a great spot for a quick hot breakfast and some burritos to go!!!

1st time at Gabe's for brunch with my in-laws last weekend. I was pretty impressed. The place was busy, as any good restaurant should be on a Saturday for brunch. We had a large group and were seated fairly quickly. The servers were very pleasant and accurate. I had the breakfast burrito smothered and was pleasantly surprised at how good the green chili was. It wasn't spicy but it was very tasty. Almost everyone else in the group had the pancake combo and they all seemed pleased. I myself would come back for the breakfast burrito alone read more

On our way to Estes Park early morning...found this little gem! I had the veggie omelette smothered with green chili! It was perfect! Hubby had and egg white veggie omelette...definitely worth the stop. The service was as friendly as it gets! Those people love their jobs! Well done! Give them a try read more

Located off Hwy 25, nice place. Had bacon & cheese omelet and it was delicious. Pancakes and waffles were really good too. Coffee was hot and served quickly. read more

Great service and GREAT FOOD. Definitely a favorite weekend place for breakfast for me when I'm in the area The Works omelette smothered with Green Chilli are a favorite for me read more

This place is truly a little gem! We went here for breakfast upon a recommendation from a good friend. We have been searching for a good, quaint breakfast place near us and there is nothing nearby. We finally went to Gabe's Cafe. I had the veggie omelet, now, most breakfast places have a veggie omelet on the menu and when it comes out it has a scant amount of veggies. This veggie omelet had a generous amount of perfectly seasoned veggies. Let's also talk about the homemade raisin bread. Delicious! It was a wonderful treat, not super sweet but had the perfect amount of cinnamon, nice crust and delicious chewy center. Ok moving on to the dish my son ordered. The New York steak breakfast, excellent tender steak with green chili, eggs and hash browns. He said the steak was cooked perfectly to his liking and was not tough or over fatty. He also said the chili was great. My husband had the corned beef hash also with green chili and he said it was very good as well! Our server was delightful, attentive and on point. She and the entire staff were cheery and kept our coffees full and hot. They also seemed like they truly enjoyed working here which is such a positive sign for a restaurant. Another great signal of this place was the buzzing atmosphere, people were talking to each other and enjoying their time here. I did not see one person on their phone while here which is highly unusual these days. There were obviously regulars because the wait staff welcomed these people by name as they were arriving and being seated. Such a happy way to start a Saturday morning. We sat at Betty's table, I want to meet Betty! She has her own table, she must be legendary. My husband asked when we need to come to meet Betty. Sounds like we need to be there in the afternoon to meet her. We also ordered a cinnamon roll to take home to our boys that didn't come with us. On the top of the box, our server wrote the heating instructions to ensure perfection at home too! All in all we were highly impressed in this little hole in the wall cafe. This might, very well be our new go to for weekend breakfast dates. It is a little further away from where we live but now that we found it we both agree that it was worth the drive. If you are looking for great food, excellent service and a wonderful, cheery atmosphere then stop in at Gabe's Cafe. read more

We discovered this little gem today and I can't sing their praises enough! My husband got the chicken fried steak, daughter the classic breakfast and I chose Gabe's Skillet. All of our meals were delicious, but I have to say that the skillet beat out the other plates on the table. read more

Went for breakfast on Sunday morning. Prices are good and the food was very satisfying. I had the Spanish skillet and DH had the Gabe's skillet. Both were hot when delivered, well balanced, and seasoned well. The green chili was pretty spicy so if you aren't into that, be warned. read more

Perfect hole in the wall breakfast place on the way out of Denver airport. Cinnamon rolls and raisin bread is made fresh and both are to. die. for. It wasn't too crowded and service was super fast. Loved it! Would definitely visit again. read more

Great place. Stopped Sat morning shortly after opening and were seated quickly. The wait staff were very attentive, even if we were not at their table. SWMBO had the half order biscuits and gravy. It came with a egg and 2 pieces of bacon. There was enough for the 2 of us. I had the eggs Benedict, and the eggs even came out poached like they are supposed to be. To top it off, the coffee cups were kept full of great tasting coffee We will definitely be back. read more

This restaurant is amazing I called in from Wyoming to order breakfast from them to deliver it to a disabled veteran and they agreed thank you guys so much you have made my grandma's day special read more

Excellent food and awesome service. Our waitress, Rae, was amazing. She was friendly and quick. Our food was awesome. My husband got the patty melt and the broccoli cheese soup. I got the country eggs Benedict with the eggs scrambled per Rae's suggestion. It was really good. read more

We keep forgetting this place opened. Right down the road from home. Finally made it to try out. It is fantastic. Meat lovers skillet was perfect. Girlfriend had sausage and biscuits. Both were perfect, couldn't complain if we tried. And they are very on top of coffee refills! New regular place now. read more

This is a local yokel little gem that we love to stop into for lunch. All the seniors and police officers hang out here so you know the food is good and the prices are right. Always crowded yet somehow they can always squeeze us in. Staff is always nice and friendly, and it has that local diner feel when they call out to you from across the room. Food is excellent - breakfast all day and it is delicious. read more

Great food, friendly service, very reasonable prices. I had The Works omelette, hash browns and the toast for lunch, and it was almost perfect in almost every way. Small town diner atmosphere is very laid back. In the Carbon Valley area highly recommended! read more

First time at Gabe's and we're fans! Great food, great service, we'll be back! read more

Best place for breakfast, but can you please finish moving and reopen? I'm not sure how to continue in this world without your breakfast burritos!?$&@ read more

Breakfast was decent and inexpensive. I had two eggs with home fries, bacon and raisin toast. The home fries were just little fried square potatoes. Raisin toast was flavorful. My partner had the cheeseburger and fries. The meat was kind of flat and mid quality. The tomatoes, red onion, and lettuce were fresh. The fries were tasty and fat shaped. The cheese was Kraft quality. read more

Have only sat down and ate once, I recall enjoying it. I do stop here more often to get a breakfast burrito. They are priced well and a good portion. Place is very clean and the ladies are always very sweet! read more

My husband and I went there this AM for breakfast because I didn't feel like cooking. I love Eggs Benedict and make it at home regularly, including homemade hollandaise sauce (which is absolutely delicious.) To start, I'll compliment the multiple positives about this restaurant, it's obviously popular since it's been very crowded each time we've driven by, waitress was quick to serve and friendly, and it has a big menu with lots of items. Food arrived fairly quickly given how busy they were, and when my husband received the wrong dish, the waitress very quickly removed and replaced it with a smile. So far so good. Except that whatever the sauce was on my breakfast it should NOT be called Hollandaise. It truly doesn't deserve it. really was quite dreadful, thin, transparent, extremely salty. No lemon, no butter flavors, only salt, and really oddly colored....honestly, many years ago I used to use a powdered mix envelope that you mixed with milk then cooked, and even THAT was better than this! It only vaguely maybe "resembled" Hollandaise, it was more like chicken gravy or something, but clearly not Hollandaise. It really made the breakfast nasty and I felt bad, but couldn't eat it either, so I ate one of the eggs and ham and left the rest of the plate...Didn't complain because they look so busy and we tipped for the good service, but really, somebody needs to look at whatever that nasty yellow mess is and fix it! I've never in my entire life not eaten Eggs Benedict no matter who made it, nor complained about it from multiple restaurants. (Because it's never been terrible before.) read more

Great staff...especially if you're a male!!! :) The gals really like to treat male patrons kindly! The food is DELICIOUS...The prices are perfect and the place is always clean. I am a HUGE fan of neighborhood 'Mom & Pop' shops and will continue to support this excellent cafe! read more

Staff does not follow Covid guidelines. Staff wears masks on chins and seating is close. We went here hoping they would follow Covid precautions. We came in and looked around, it wasn't busy and seemed like they were. Upon staying and ordering we saw many of the staff taking off their mask to talk to customers or wearing it on their chin only. One staff member sat at the tables to take orders (not abiding the 6 foot rule). It started to get more busy as we were there and they began to seat people at every table which was not 6 feet apart. I felt extremely uncomfortable there and should of left even though we already ordered our food. I know some are getting more relaxed about Covid lately however the health department has not, wearing masks covering the nose & face is still required as well as distancing patrons at restaurants. We also never got refills on our drinks and seemed to be forgot after we got our food. Even though the location is nicer and larger we will not be returning as the staff does not care about they health of their community. read more

We stopped here driving from Denver to Buffalo Wyoming. The breakfast was very good. Had three different dishes and we all enjoyed them. Gravy is delicious! Lots of locals so you know the food is good. Service was good and fast. Food came quickly and prices were good. I would definitely eat there again. read more

It's cafés a gem! My husband and just moved to the area. We weren't expecting much from the outside appearance. We were so wrong. There hasn't been an item we haven't loved. My favorite is the bacon breakfast burrito read more

The BEST breakfast in tritown area! Eat here whenever we can! Great food and staff! Every time we go the service is fast, super friendly and worth tge money! Thanks for being here! read more

Dacono, CO is lucky to have Gabe's! This is a clean, efficient cafe with filling home cooked recipes. Example: breakfast is served with an option for home made raisen toast! Soooo good! The wait staff works hard and is friendly. Food comes out looking as good as it tastes! read more

Gabe's Café - Sausage skillet with home made raisen toast, hash browns and sausage gravy! Oooh how this makes my tummy smile! - Cafes Near Me - Frederick, Colorado

See all

Probably my all time favorite breakfast skillet, and one of my favorite spots to get breakfast

We are local and eat here weekly. Can't describe how good the food and people are. Highly recommended.

Love It! I always order a bacon skillet with eggs over medium, and with green chili on top. Just thinking about it makes me want one. On a weekend, you may have to wait, but it's worth it. Also love the weekday breakfast burritos to go. Stop in, order, $2, out the door. Bam! BTW, ignore the review from the person who says he likes to change it up to see if the staff is listening and if the cook can adapt! Really? I'm going for breakfast, not to test the place. read more
