Just to echo other reviews, the food is outstanding, but the service is so atrocious it's bizarre. It's a husband and wife team who own and run the place. He cooks (fabulous) and she waits on tables (she's cold and rude). Too bad :(

Three of us ate there Wednesday, May 6---great food, great service, nice wine list. We loved it!

I ate there during my katy trail cycling trip. The food was great and the service was fine too.

I ate there last week, and was very impressed. There's like 3 cafes on that block & I just sorta picked Abigail's at random, but I'm glad I did. Their menu is pretty highbrow, but the prices are decently reasonable (looked like $7-9 for lunch). I had a sandwich with thick-sliced turkey on a pretzel bun with roasted peppers, fresh mozzerella (!), greens, and aioli, served with tortilla chips, guacamole, and corn salsa with capers. Mmmmmmm! For dessert: "lemon blender pie" that was decadently scrumptious.

The only quibble I had sorta aligns with Mr. Anonymous above -- neither the cook (who's right out there in the open) nor the server were very friendly, let alone warm. The server was efficient and I never lacked anything, but she just wasn't very welcoming. (Maybe she thought I smelled bad from my morning ride -- a distinct possibility! LOL)

I go there everytime I ride through Rocheport. The food is always perfect and the people are always nice enough.

We love Abigails! We had visitors recently and obtained a reservation for a Sunday evening.
The couple is definitely all business and know what they can manage. They are a team. Not
overly friendly, but they get the job at hand done in a very efficient manner. They have
stayed in business over the years, so they must be doing something right.
Forgot to mention that the food is wonderful!!!

I agree the attitude of the wait staff and owners is rude; I feel like I am imposing on them instead of being a customer. The food is good but I don't know if it is worth the treatment.

Abigails is one of my favorite restaurants and no, I have no relationship to the owners, nor any vested interested other than I hope it will be there when I get back to Rocheport this fall! I believe there really is nothing harder than restaurant work and "trying to keep everyone happy" with the food AND the service.

Try letting them know how good their food really is. They seem to warm up to such compliments. Not everyone is an extrovert. :) :)
