Gabe’s Smokehouse

We went to JJ's to pickup bbq for dinner Saturday, but we didn't realize they closed at 4:00. So... we went to Gabe's and picked up 3 pounds of pork bbq at $15.50 per pound. We were going to get 2 1/2, but it was $9.?? for 1/2 pound, good strategy. It came with a fairly mild bbq sauce. It was pretty good bbq, no real complaints. There was an annoying fly inside while we were ordering so that wasn't very appetizing. Everyone was friendly, and we were in a hurry so I didn't pay attention to much else. If I had time I would have checked the cleanliness of the place better. I did see that the bbq was being kept covered and seemed to be held at the proper temperature. It's probably a great place to grab a sandwich for lunch. We appreciate them doing all the hard work. It's definitely too hot to do our own.

We were driving by the area and I told the boss I wanted BBQ for lunch. She located this place just down the street from Walmart and suggested we try it. When we walked in and were surprised as this place does not have the usual restaurant look. The nice lady at the counter took our order while the lady behind her prepared it. The people in the dining room were all talkative and polite, even kinda funny. The 2 kids running around playing in both the dining room and kitchen was a slight concern but they too were polite, friendly and outgoing. We order one large sandwich to share along with the macaroni and cheese and a Coke Zero (which was bottled). We watched as the cook measured out the exact weight of the sandwich and mac & cheese and wrapped it. THis whole process took about 4 minutes and we were on our way back home.At home we opened the sandwich and split it between the two of us. The BBQ pulled chicken sandwich lacked a good quantity of sauce for the size of the large sandwich. What BBQ we did have was not on bad and the chicken was not over cooked, the mac & cheese was nothing to write home about. Overall the foods taste was at best just below average. I was not impressed with the over look and feel of the inside of the restaurant and for the cost the food just isn't worth it. Nice people but quantity and quality was lacking..
