Got some carryout from Abner's this weekend. Though we'd eaten here before, it had been a number of years (no particular reason) and we had never had a To Go order before.
One of us got a BLT sandwich with a fruit dish side, which was proclaimed to be a pretty good BLT, though should have been ordered with the bread un-toasted (our fault). The fruit was a nice portion of grapes, pineapple, and honeydew, sweet and fresh.
Another ordered 2 eggs over easy with corned beef hash, fried potatoes, and rye toast. All were described as delicious, though the portions were described as somewhat skimpy. Prices are relatively inexpensive, perhaps an adjustment upward with a corresponding increase in portion size is in order?
The last order was the only problem child. The online ordering system used through the Abner's website did not work properly when inputting the requested items for the "create your own" omelet. Unbeknownst to us, it was thus submitted as a "plain" omelet (who the heck eats THAT?! blech!) Thanks to HB's good eyeballing of the email confirmation, the problem was discovered and the restaurant was called and given the correct omelet items manually.
Unfortunately when the omelet order arrived home, the side order of fried potatoes that appeared to make it through the online order system intact didn't make it into the container. The English muffin was also cold and unbuttered/unmargarined. The omelet itself was very good, however. Cheese in every bite, which is pretty rare when it comes to omelets, and it was fluffy and perfectly cooked.
So 2 out of 3 ain't bad, to quote Meatloaf (the singer, not the menu item), but I wouldn't trust their online ordering system again, nor pick up any carryout orders without completely vetting every container to ensure everything was received.
It's a nice enough little diner, atmosphere-wise, so if you have the time and inclination during these COVID times to eat-in, that might be your best bet.
