Abele's Family Restaurant - Family restaurant in Morganton - 2115 S Sterling St, USA

Popped in on a road trip and couldn’t have made a better choice. It was getting pretty chilly out so ordered a hot chocolate with steak tips and a loaded baked potato. Everything came out pretty quickly. Hot chocolate was delicious without being overly sweet, and the steak tips were nice and tender and paired great with the savory mushroom gravy. It was one of those southern home style meals that I was just really craving and warmed me up instantly. On top of the good food, the waitress was absolutely lovely and took great care of us. There were a lot of fun signs on the walls to read, and once we finished eating we didn’t have room for a full dessert, so we stopped at the little candy shop by the register to grab a treat for the road. Overall, a great break from driving and good, southern cooking.

C’mon in and get some lip smacking, belly filling, delicious breakfast! We had to wait a little bit, but it was definitely worth the wait! Our server, Brenda, put the restaurant experience over the top. She was kind, helpful and attentive! We chose not to order the breakfast buffet although it looked very very popular. My husband ordered the pork chops and eggs with biscuits and gravy. The pork chops were cooked to perfection seasoned perfectly, and not dry. The biscuits were hot, fresh and fluffy. We saw lots of bikers outside, so we knew the food had to be good. Don’t let the line fool you. They move quickly and you won’t want to miss this locally owned restaurant. I ordered the Belgium waffle and it was delicious. Pictures weren’t that great because we started eating! Make this a stop for you and your loved ones!

We were heading to Asheville for a wedding and stopped in Morganton to eat. The Mexican restaurant next door was not open yet so we went to Abele’s. What a win! It was perfect timing! I love me some biscuits and gravy, but because it was around 11, they were switching the buffet over to lunch. So I got my B’s and G’s AND got fried chicken, okra, and some delicious corn bread. All for on very reasonable price. And the decor was awesome. Tons of old signs like my mother in law used to collect. Will definitely be back!

My Wife And I are in town for her birthday, we are coming from Washington DC, The was simply amazing and great....Definitely taste like The Real SOUTH 😋. The service was simply amazing and great 👍🏾. We are definitely coming back soon.

I've only eaten here for the first time the other day, and I'm glad I decided to try it out. The woman at the door greeted us with a smile and led us to a table. Very clean and outgoing atmosphere. My waiter was amazing. He was full of life and friendly. He didn't even have to write down our order and we only had to tell him what we wanted once. We were served quickly and the food was perfect and delicious. I felt at ease eating here and will definitely be returning!

The wife and I wanted something different than fast food. So we found this place. Parking lot is a little tight when they're busy. The food is great! We both had the 1 meat plus salad/fruit/vegetable bar. I had the liver and onions for my meat option, and had 4 plates from the bar as well. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was perfect. Never let the drinks get completely out, and was as friendly as if she'd known us for quite some time. If you want some good food, I would definitely recommend this place if you're ever in the area.

We ordered the fried bologna sandwich, pierogies, and chicken dill sandwich; all delicious! I'll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Breakfast at Abeles is SO much better .. came in around 3 to try it out, wasn’t that impressed. First thing we sat down an older table stopped a waitress to ask for something she came back and replied with ..” I am not your waitress” I thought that was super rude. Later on the table in front of us left .. then the waitress started talking about THAT table how “they felt sorry for the person who had to take care of her!” A older lady in a WHEELCHAIR!!! There was zero atmosphere of it being a “family restaurant”- more like talking smack about everyone around. I get you’re gonna talk about the people that come in to eat, but PLEASE don’t do it out in front of your other tables.(we can hear your conversations) . It really shows what kind of waitress you are, and who they have working there. And that can lead to having poor tips. If you don’t like being a waitress, and serving people- maybe serving isn’t a job for you.
