Grass-fed burgers, hand-cut fries, and homemade shakes
"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 a great 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." - Ellen Fort
"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. Food Rundown Seamus Simple and delicious, the Seamus ticks all the boxes—a single juicy patty, toasted bun, and all the flavor. 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. photo credit: Casey Irwin" - Bailey Freeman

"When the press of NFL fans becomes too much I head south to Gabby’s, where the Gabby — a smash-style grass-fed double with American cheese — and hand-cut sweet potato fries seasoned with nutmeg, cloves, and a touch of sugar hit the blue-collar spot, and a second trip to the soda fountain is always tempting." - Jon Gugala
