It's a really amazing experience. So many options for all people in my party. Not one person had a bad thing to say. Took a container of the jam to go because it was so good.

Very nice breakfast place! Not as fast food like others. Very good food! No run-of-the-mill menu. Gluten-free pancakes on offer and made with a lot of love. The skinny omelette was also absolutely delicious. Very friendly service.

My wife loves ABE because they have lots of gluten free choices and a creative breakfast menu.

Best meal I've had in a long time! Great place! Loved all the seating options. We ate outside on the closed off street. Lots of stuff to look at inside and it was fun just walking to the hostess stand from the back parking lot. Fun cocktail menu. We got a Pearflower w/St. Germaine liquor and an El Diablo w/jalapeños & tajin. I tried some of a Honey Apple Crisp(?) that was also quite tasty. Tons of beer & wine offerings as well. Exceptional food quality. Super professional staff. Great place for special diets. Good place for kids. Outside is dog friendly. Very excited about their gluten-free menu. The server accommodated my special requests no problem ... But didn't write anything down. The Thai Salad I ordered off the GF menu came out with crispy wonton crunchies on top. When I asked the (very professional) food runner if it was GF, he just said they told him bring the Thai Salad to our table. Since the crispy wonton wrappers could easily have been GF crispy delights, I ate one. After all, I DID order it off the GF menu and DID explain I had Celiac disease and what that is. It tasted too good. (If my food had actually been gluten free, it would have been a 5-star experience.) The waiter came to check on us, apologized, took the salad back & brought a new one. When the GF salad was NOT GF, I should have asked if the dressing had soy sauce in it but ... I did get an immediate reaction in my mouth from the glutens. Still waiting on the gut reaction. We got the African Curry w/cauliflower crisps. My wheat-allergic sistuh ate them w/no problems, but I was sus and only took a bite. The Surf& Turf was cooked perfectly. Scallops & shrimp were absolutely perfect. Steak was delectable & melt-in-your-mouth texture. 5 stars on that! Got the lamb kabobs & grilled oysters for appetizers. Also cooked to perfection. Just great dinner, despite being poisoned every so briefly.

Food was delicious and service was great. We sat on the patio and loved the atmosphere. Very knowledgeable about gluten free and had a menu with a lot of choices!

Every time I come the service is good and I like that they have gluten free bread available. The last time I came I was with my mother who ordered the blue crab and shrimp burger 10/10 shes says, lots of flavor and a perfect serving size for lunch. I ordered the Grillsmith burger, cooked how I like it served with the gluten free bread. We both made substitutions to our orders and the kitchen had no problem accommodating our picky needs! We will be back! 😋

Amy was amazing. She took wonderful care of us. I have celiac and my girlfriend has a dairy allergy. I wanted the crab and artichoke dip. She had the kitchen give me toasted gluten free rolls and carrots. They have a large menu to cater to people with allergy problems and the manager also came out and asked if we were satisfied and if we needed anything else. I can not sing Amy's praises enough or the Salty Crab, prices are very good, large selection to choose from.

Gluten free baked goods and breakfast tacos on corn tortillas!

Adam Lock

Good food and gluten free options although quite pricey. The biggest concern is a lot of menu items say "market" against their price and "market" invariable means super expensive.

Delaney Dean

Came in for some after church lunch and our server Jon was great! Super Intentive and made sure my food was safe for my gluten allergy😊

If you have celiac or a gluten allergy make sure to be extremely cautious when eating here. I ordered the gluten free tacos with corn tortillas and I was given flour. After noticing they didn’t look like corn I asked the waitress and she assured me they were…. upon taking a bite I knew they were definitely flour so I called her back over and said they are definitely flour. They did quickly make me new ones however there was no apology or free drink or anything. I’m extremely disappointed as I was sick and throwing up due to my allergy.

Love this place. They really seem to care about their flavors. Even though simple in appearance, the eggs Benedict flavor was really on point and had the right mix including just the right citrus acidity. Reuben on gluten-free bread was amazing as well.

We dined with friends before going to a ballgame. The food was quite good, although the focus at our table was brisket so I can'tspeak to much variety. The pretzel and natcho appetizers were tasty. The tap beer selection was adequate, the atmosphere was a little chain-restaurant like, but our sever was excellent and attentive to the gluten free needs of one of our diners. Sometime I plan to go back & share the Bonfire meat eater's sampler.

Like that they have gluten free options.

My colleague and I were visiting the Clearwater area from Houston, TX and decided to stop by Abe’s Place for dinner. Walking in, the host was very professional and was able to seat us in under 5 minutes, which was impressive for 7PM on a Friday night. The atmosphere was fun and a little quirky. The lights were not too bright and not too dark. The TVs had the Rays game on and a golf tournament (my 2 favorite sports). They also had a TV showing specials and jokes. The crowd was a good mix of families, friend groups, and couples. I have a food allergy and cannot eat gluten. I ordered the Cajun Burger with no bun. It was filling and flavorful (normally gluten-free options are sad and disappointing). The pickles were delicious, which seems like a small thing but it’s not. Fries were perfectly crispy. While we were eating, another customer made a scene. Think your classic Karen Facebook video. Tears. Yelling. Guilt tripping. The whole 9-yards. All because she ordered a double top-shelf margarita and did not want to pay the top shelf price. She was “a tequila drinker and knew better”. Management was able to defuse the situation and she eventually left. My interaction with Clayton, the manager, was nothing but positive and feel he respected and listened to the customers. If you are able to request a server. I cannot recommended Cassidy enough!! Cassidy delivered the level of service that everyone expects from a restaurant. She was personable and made sure our evening was great. Exceptional service all while having a “Karen” in her section. When my colleague and I were finishing our meal, she asked if we wanted anything else to eat or drink. Feeling inspired, we ordered margaritas. 2 for like $8! What a deal! I will be returning to Abe’s the next time I am in this area.

This is THE place to go on your trip to get the full Florida experience. We sat out on the dock by the marina with fans pointing on us. We had the starter fries with scallops & bacon & I had the salad with Grouper fish on it (came with a spicy honey mustard dressing). Gluten-free: At first I ordered the fish tacos thinking it would be a safe choice but when it came out, it had fried breaded fish on the two tacos. The waitress was super nice about exchanging it for a salad!

Beautiful views from the SHOR Grill. Enjoyed breakfast outside on the patio. Service was fast and friendly. I had the Greek omelette and it was loaded with toppings and feta cheese. Will definitely return and try lunch or dinner menu items. I'm excited that many items available are Gluten Free ✅

Jazmin Riley

Hands down some of the best steak and eggs, coleslaw, and danishes I've had the pleasure to eat! My girlfriend appreciated the gluten free bread for her chicken salad. The vibes/ decor were everything a classic American diner should strive for- from the velvet clown paintings to the cheekily autographed celebrity head shots. If Guy Fieri hasn't been here yet, he needs to ASAP! Our server Chloe was so kind and fun to chat with! We will be back again tomorrow tbh.
