Amazing (Photos). That place is an Americana Gallery, in it's own right.
Hope it's there in another 50 years.

Been to Abe's many times, his wife Terry makes all the biscuits daily using Martha White flour. You're right. about there being a steady stream of diners at the counter, but the stream of carryout customers is even heavier. Those biscuits are some of the best ever.

Sympathic place to get the lunch...looks like authentic, vintage and "folkloric"...probable warm and friendly ambiance. FOr sure You spent there a "refreshing" pause! Tanks for sharing

Thank all of you for looking and commenting. I'm glad it made some of you happy knowing such a place exists.
You know that old saying "you can't get there from here" -- well that certainly applies to going from Memphis to Charleston, SC. A person would think they could travel along the southern border of Tennessee but you can't. At least if you don't want to take days getting there! From Memphis, you must drop down to Mississippi and go through Alabama as well. You also drive through Georgia, skirting Atlanta before your drive through SC to Charleston.
This is a good thing since it will take you past Abe's and other quaint places along the way.

I would love it there. Fortunately we have a terrific and quirky little restaurant here in town. Every dish seems unique, and I am looking forward to going back.

Has this dining dive made it to the TV show by a similar name?
Do they have a EM vehicle parked behind the establishment?

As far as I can ascertain, it has only been Abe's for the last 50 years. Some here on the Hog have also eaten there and we are a small sample by comparison. As well-known as it seems to be, I would be surprised if it hasn't been featured on some foodie show.

There have been many over the years.

I have been there a few years ago. Great food. We had the biscuits and gravy. Delicious. Fun place.

I've eaten at more of these places than I could possibly remember. I can't recall a bad experience.
