"I cannot stress enough that if you want a deli-style sandwich in LaBelle, you owe it yourself to try this facility. Abbie 's is a simple setup in Port LaBelle that offers off and on service. There is a small bar, an equally small dining room, and what seems to be a connected dining area accessible from the outside. The Deli counter dominates the interior. Boar's head cheese and meat, as well as fresh baked goods such as biscuits and Baklava are clearly displayed there. The ambience is not tasty or heavy, but it is clear that is not high on the priority list. The establishment is clean and other than a few photos of the middle eastern cityscape, the thing that holds most is the series of dollar bills with greetings and benevolent hanging over the place. Service was friendly and there was a heavy kind of family feeling for the whole experience. While we waited for our order, we talked to all our employees and they have made the pride they have made quite clear in their products. We were even treated with a freshly baked date cookie (a pastry filled with a date paste) as we hung around. The food was excellent. As deli experiences go, Publix is usually regarded as king in this area, and Subway is a kind of one that you find anywhere you go for convenience because you don't know better or because you don't have an alternative. Abbie 's is a real one where the locals in the know food company that offers superior quality and quantity at a superior price compared to its competition. I had the Falafel plate. It's not on the menu anymore, but if you can get it, it's the best I had. The falafel is perfectly prepared and served with fresh vegetables, tasteful sauce and served on a warm gyroscope. When you order the plate, lots of pommes and a can of soda come along. The traditional gyro my wife had eaten a lot of meat, thicker than average for what we usually encountered, paired with tomatoes, onion, and tzatziki sauce. My mother-in-law had a foot-long roast beef sandwich that kept her quite basic. She ate half. It was interesting to see how they seasoned bread with olive oil and a mixture of herbs. If you want a deli sandwich here or look for gyro or falafel, then enter the other ones in the curb and look for this place. Your tongue, belly and pocketbook will probably be satisfied with the decision."
