Per Cincinnati Magazine:
Wyoming is known for good schools, good housing stock, and now, good burgers. Gabby’s Angus beef burger is a smoky half-pounder made sweeter with a buttery bun that’s neither too soft nor too hard. Savor the fresh pickles, lettuce, and tomato on this tender monument to meat.
Well, I am not starting off so well on this if I’m only writing this two weeks after the fact! But, here, without more delay is the gist of the trip to Gabby’s.
Cincinnati Magazine rated Gabby’s Angus Beef Burger to be the #13 best burger in the city. Why did I start with the 13th? Well, it was on my way to an event at the Underground Railroad Freedom Museum that day, and I thought it’d be fun. Plus, I’m not really going to the restaurants in the list for their burgers. I’m not really a burger person myself, so I was super-glad that Gabby’s is a good ole Italian (mi familia!) restaurant with many other Café-ish type foods. Yum!
So, me and two of my girlfriends from church went over for an early lunch and were thoroughly pleased with our meal. But first things first.
I love Wyoming, OH. It is a pretty cute and beautiful part of the city. My dad lived there for a while and I have fond memories of getting on my bicycle and riding down to the library for a book…and making a pit stop at Le Cezanne, which, sadly, has not been there for several years. I also was in a summer orchestra camp there one year and, although being entirely intimidating, the Wyoming Fine Arts building is beautiful and I was much too young to fully appreciate being there. That said, beyond the Larosas around the corner and the live Nativity down the street at Christmas, I didn’t explore much more of the town and I wish I had.
The picture above is what we saw once we parked the car (there’s a great lot across the street and so long as it isn’t Tuesday, or some odd deal, you can park there for free). And our noses were assaulted by the glorious smells from the Wyoming Meat Market.
The smells totally playing on our already famished stomachs, we clamored our way to the door of the restaurant. Once seated we had a dickens of a time getting through the menu because there were so many good options to choose from.
I really enjoyed the interior…I felt like I was in Chicago for some reason. The waitress came over to get our orders and tell us the soup of the day – lamb and chickpeas. Here’s what our order was:
.

Me: Meatball Hoagie – Homemade meatballs topped with marinara and cheese blend on a toasted hoagie bun.
.
.
.
.
.
. B: Wyoming Club Sandwich
– A double-decker
sandwich stacked with
turkey, bacon, lettuce,
tomato and mayonnaise on
toasted white bread
.

and C: Lamb Gyro – This was a special, so I don’t have any specs on it. Sorry…but my friend loved it!

We were so stuffed from our lunch that we had no room for dessert. Plus, we were on our way here for the Unbound Movement Fair Trade Expo.
I will have more reviews coming up, so stay tuned. Also, I’ll try to keep tabs on my “as Vagabondess” page of what review is coming up next. I hope you all enjoy! 🙂
