As American as apple pie, Earl Abel's is an institution in San Antonio.
Located just on the other side of Hildebrand, you can savor fried chicken, fried catfish, and their incredible assortment of homemade pies. And if you buy my house, I will bring you the pie of your choice on the day you move in. Just tell me what flavor you want, and I'll bring it right over!
Aside from the wonderful food, are the people who wait on you. Some have been there for 20 and 30 years. You'll be called "honey," "sugar," "sweeteheart, and "darlin'." They are also one of the few places that is open late Christmas Eve.
A few words of warning:
1. If you are dieting, ignore your diet for the day.
2. If you are watching cholesterol, take an extra Lipitor.
3. If you are on a salt free diet, drink tons of water.
4. If you have an attitude, leave it at the door, because the waitresses will humble you.
5. If you are coming after Church on Sunday, be prepared to wait. (it's worth the wait)
