Earl Abels

Earl Abels is a blast from the past. My friend, who has lived in San Antonio longer than me, took me to it because she said it was one of those things that you just have to do in San Antonio. I'm glad that she did. It was a great setting with great food.

This place has been around for years and it shows every bit of it. It has not been updated since the 60s. For how old it is, the place is actually in pretty good condition. The good thing about this place is they offer good down-home cooking that you just cant find any more. Earl Abels is famous for their homemade pies. I dont like pie, but everyone I have ever been there with rants and raves about them. One draw back is that whenever I am in there I feel like the only one without senior citizen status.

I have been to Earl Abels many times and in fact I was a member of a business group and we met there and of course ate. My favorite is the Chef's salad that I called "a bush" because it was built high and filled with wonderful things. I have my favorites but I don't think I have eaten anything I did not like. I certainly plan to continue going to Earl Abel's.

PROS: Lot's of tables and not spaced too close together.
CONS:
