Honest Abe's Burgers & Freedom
We make honest burgers for honest people. Get off the internet and come find out for yourself. Welcome to the home of easy beef, soft buns, and a whole lot of gloriously honest food.
The Oven Restaurants specialize in Northern Indian Cuisine which is known for its rich colors, flavor profiles and a unique style of cooking in a clay oven, called the Tandoor. Chicken, shrimp and lamb marinate for several hours in a yogurt and spice mixture and placed on skewers while various breads are being hand made by our chefs fresh each day. The skewers and breads are then placed in the tandoors over an open flame where breads are cooked to perfection and the rich flavors are sealed in to ensure tenderness and quality of the meat.
Combine your evening downtown entertainment with an enjoyable dinner in our intimate and relaxing atmosphere. Specializing in Contemporary American Cuisine, our creative chefs embellish each dish with fresh herbs, spices and sauces. The Green Gateau offers a wonderful array of options, including seafood, chicken and pasta entrees.
