Gabby's Burgers & Fries

"Gabby’s, open only for lunch since 2009, feels like a lively office breakroom—everybody is clearly here on their lunch break eating indulgent burgers. This spot knows you don’t need all the bells and whistles for the perfect patty, and the Seamus and Gabby burgers are the way to go: all you need is meat, cheese, and a lightly grill-toasted bun straight off the short-order grill. Round off your plate with Gabby’s chunky sweet potato fries and an old-school chocolate milkshake for an immediate dopamine boost.

Smoky and savory the way only short-order burgers can be, the beef is clearly high-quality. photo credit: Casey Irwin Shakes Only drinkable via a very fat straw, these shakes are made with soft serve and housemade syrups. Gabby’s sticks to the classics—vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate—and you can’t go wrong with any of them." - Bailey Freeman

"Gabby's Burgers & Fries is located south of the stadium and caters to a blue-collar crowd. They serve the Gabby, a smash-style grass-fed double burger with American cheese and hand-cut sweet potato fries seasoned with nutmeg, cloves, and sugar." - Jon Gugala

"Health-nut or not, everyone gets a hankering for a big, tasty burger and fries. Gabby’s is a melting pot of all walks of life: children, suit-wearing businessmen, hipster twenty-somethings, musicians — everyone is welcome. Gabby’s is primarily open for lunch hours throughout the week but stays open until 7 PM on Fridays. Lightning-fast service and delicious, fresh food are included; you can choose from their menu or create your own custom burger. Don’t forget to ask about their secret menu!" - Platoon

"Gabby’s isn’t fancy, but this Wedgewood-Houston hang holds its own when it comes to burgers. The Seamus burger — named after Gabby’s little brother — is the perfect introductory dish, boasting a single five-ounce grass-fed beef burger with your choice of cheese. If your appetite allows, make it a double with the eponymous Gabby burger, a side of fries, and a homespun milkshake." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Delia Jo Ramsey

"A self-proclaimed hole-in-the-wall, Gabby’s houses some of the best sloppy burgers in town, including one topped with house-made chili. The walls are lined with autographed photos of famous customers and framed answers to FAQs (yes, Gabby is owner Doug Havron’s daughter; no, the restaurant does not serve beer). Come hungry and come early, as this lunch-only spot draws a crowd until close at 2:30 p.m." - Kellie Walton
