That's why I thought it would be a great idea if the new owners put something on the menu that would connect back to Hap's place! <img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" /><img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" /><img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <br> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=493810Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:52:14 GMT The only sides are chili, fries and sweet potato fries.&nbsp; He also has homemade lemon cake and banana pudding. <br> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=493768Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:48:38 GMT It'll really be a hit if he serves Collard Greens, Black Eyed Peas and Mac &amp; Cheese with your burger! http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=493600Fri, 06 Mar 2009 01:14:36 GMT For any of you old-timers, you already know the location.&nbsp; It's the little building where Hap Townes held court for so many years, next to Greer stadium. There are still sayings of Hap Townes on the walls.&nbsp; It's now called Gabby's Burgers, and is only open for lunch.&nbsp; I ordered a standard burger, fries, and drink, just to establish a benchmark.&nbsp; He throws a big meatball on the griddle and flattens it with a spatula. The bun was a high-quality, but cold burger bun.&nbsp; He uses good ingredients, fresh lettuce and I really liked the pickle slices. The fries are spiced with more than just salt and pepper, but I couldn't identify what else was added.&nbsp; His row of condiments was very well done.&nbsp; There were 6 or 8 hot sauces, along with homemade wasabi-mayo , a spicy ketchup, and several different mustards.&nbsp; He didn't ask how I wanted it cooked, and it came out pretty much well-done. Next time, I'll ask whether that's optional.&nbsp; The Coke products were served in an old-fashioned post mix, rather than the nearly universal bag-in-a-box.&nbsp; The old five gallon cylinders produce a better tasting drink, in my opinion. He's only been opn a week or two, and at 11:30 this morning, there was a long line clear out the door. He seats about 16, just like Hap Townes did, and I suspect the old man would be pleased with what has become of his place. <br> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=493583Thu, 05 Mar 2009 23:03:19 GMT
