March Special
We have now been here for over 17 years! So happy Birthday to us! So let’s celebrate with one of our favorite and oldest specials….
Bill’s Burger begins with our basic BBQ Burger with cheddar cheese and our zippy BBQ sauce, then we top it with real pulled pork straight from the annual Belleview Masons’ BBQ Cookout! The pit boss, Bill, has been doing it for almost 50 years! If you want slaw, we got our own creamy slaw ready to top the whole thing off (no charge). BAM! Good enough to make you slap your Mama, but don’t do it. She might hit back! $17.49
Shake Special
Spring Mint Shake
This shake special is all about getting ready for SPRING and St. Patrick’s Day!!!! We start with our own vanilla shake add pure green peppermint oil and finish off with a couple of spoons full of chopped Oreo cookies. This is the way to bring in the Spring with color and flavor! $4.49 / $5.49
Living the Dream
I have worked in restaurants since bussing tables at Bonanza in Green Hills at age 17. My dream has always been to have a beautiful wife, healthy children, and my own thriving restaurant. I achieved that goal several years back but found that the amount of work required to keep that business growing meant that I did not see my wife and children as much as I wanted. When I expressed this problem to others in the industry, everybody shook their heads in knowing acceptance. Something inside said the dream was not achieved yet. I was not having the cake and eating it too!
So, I sold my old restaurant and started a new one. Named it Gabby’s after my daughter. Now we close at 2:30, do not do Sunday’s and shut the store down to take vacations! I have time for my family. Thank you to my wife Coreen for letting me “sell a very profitable business and open a restaurant in the middle of a recession”. I married up!
Our goal is great food and great service at a reasonable price. I need happy customers who will come back again and again (maybe with a friend). If you do not receive great food, great service and you do not feel after paying like you got a great deal, my dream will fail. Please, let me know what I can do to keep living my dream. 2/24/09
Living the Dream II
People are always asking “are you living the dream?” And I always answer “Yes”. But I must say the dream has changed over the past few years. There is less about the restaurant and more about the children. Seamus and Gabriella are growing up FAST, and I want to be here less and with them more. Once I began down this new path, I loved it more than I thought possible.
I do dream that Gabby’s will become a Nashville institution like Haptowns, Rotiers or the Loveless. But today, I just want to pay my bills, get out of debt, and hug my wife and children as much as possible. Simple. The way dreams ought to be. 4/30/12
Living the Dream III
And then came Covid! I had two stores by then and the only goal was survival. We still have most of our employees and one store. Now I just want to make it with the one store. I do not even think I want to be as busy as before. But I have been reminded how precious this all is. It is FUN again. And we are lucky to still be here. I am grateful for this simple burger joint, my family, the employees, and the customers. We are still living the dream! 8/10/22
