  So far, so good at the Goat.  After several meals, we've found a nice, dependable spot for a casual dinner.  We've tried burgers, wings, chick sandwiches, fish n chips (DH LOVED 'EM).  The fries are FANTASTIC!  The bar area is cuter than the table area; the formica table tops and steel frame chairs wreck the ambiance of the latter.
  
  Of course, the beer selection is fun and the prices are right!

  Good craft beer and drink selection.  The food is good too.  I had a burger on a pretzel bun and handcut fries which were really good.  Also, the chocolate chip cookie and peppermint ice cream was tasty! I will return when passing through Effingham.

  The Gabby Goat is a great new hangout for Effingham.  It can handle groups of people or just couples.  It does get VERY LOUD in there due to the number of customers.  There a several TV's for watching the game.  The nachos are outstanding!  There are many craft beers on tap but I wish they had Bud Light on tap also.  I love draft beer when I go to a bar and it is not available there.  But I can get it in a can which is I like (I hate bottle beer).  All in all, this is a great place to hang and I hope it lasts a long time.

  Stopped by the Gabby Goat for some drinks and appetizers while in Effingham overnight.  The atmosphere was great, the beer selection was even better.  I tried the Nachos with fajita chicken and they were everything I wanted them to be plus more.  They make their own queso cheese sauce and its really good and the chicken was really seasoned well (kinda sweet and hot).  They were going to have a band play but I left before they began.  I would stop by there again on my way to St. Louis and get a full meal next time.  Definitely a recommended stop!

  The Gabby Goat is a nice addition to the Effingham area. The town was in need of a place to get some good grub and a craft beer. This place has been many other businesses in the past. It originally began as the Greyhound bus station, then was turned into a bar and grill in the mid 90's called The Ole' Grey Dog. I actually tended bar and helped open a pizza section in a part of the place. It then transferred from owner to owner remaining a bar/restaurant of some sort.
  
  With a remodel and a change of pace in their beer selection, this place has become a local favorite. The bar is separated from the "dining" area and provides room to hang out with friends and have a great night out. The setup allows for people to see and be seen.
  
  The menu has some tasty treats on it as well. Standard bar fare, but with a little added "love" put in each dish. The service is attentive and quick. The waitstaff actually has electronic ordering pads they place the order right from your table; pretty fancy for the Effingham area. Our server was very good about explaining the specials and the promotions they had going on at that time. She didn't half-ass tell us about them either; she explained them thoroughly and quickly.
  
  Being a local for most of my life, I'm glad to finally see some better choices in Effingham. Keep up the good work. I'll be sure to visit when I'm in town!
