“I ordered the fish sandwich and a salad to go. THE Fish sandwich had way too much mayonnaise and no bjalapeño coleslaw as advertised. Also. The fish was a good size The salad had no dressing with it. I really don't know who would eat salad without salad dressing”

“Food and server was ok, little slow, inattentive, n very soft spoken making it hard to hear wat she was sayn. My wife hsd to repeat wat she was sayn bcuz im hard of hearing especially in a noisy environment. Very loud and hard to get thru with a power chair. Being placed by the isles n getting bumped constantly forced me to get out of my power chair n sit in the booth which I was ok with til it came time to get up to leave. Food was good but my Catfish Dinner was a little bit over cooked n green beans tasted like they had liquid smoke in them n had burnt pieces of something in mine n my wife's. Need to add Cottage Cheese to the menu bcuz sum mite prefer Cottage Cheese over Potatoes n French Fries like myself. Also 5th time I've wanted a Prime Rib Dinner n it's not been available. If its not goin to b available daily to customers, take it of the menu bcuz looking forward to a prime rib dinner just for it to not be available again is a serious let down. 3 out if 4 pieces of fish was brought home n I couldn't eat the green beans n Apple Sauce tasted spoiled causing my stomach to turn n that made me lose my appetite the rest of the way.”

“came to shop and get food! got a combo went to the fountain drinks and they were ALLL out. just ice in one of them and when we went to tell them they said grab a can drink. later we told someone because we felt bad for everyone else that didn’t know because the cashier wasn’t telling anyone. later we over heard someone say “they want us to take down the signs (only 2) on the fountain drink machine” literally didn’t care that people were so confused on why it wasn’t working. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! STEP IT UP especially if we are paying 40+ $$ for memberships!!!”

“Went for my first time and loved it all! The cashier was great and they took the time to explain how everything works! I love to add a lot of toppings and condiments to my burger and they were included with the cost of the burger! The fries were better than expected and they give you a lot! Nicole, who I believe was a manager, was very happy to hear we loved the food and welcomed us back anytime!”

“Seeing the stories of others who also fall victim to crypto investment scam tears me out badly. I remembered when I was in that same situation it wasn't really easy for me, but I was lucky enough to find my way to Helen Stamford who was so patient with me to explain all that happened and immediately she swing into action and recovered my lost funds to me. If you can provide receipt to all your transactions, you can recover your money. Email: helenstamford5@g mail. com she is a life saver.”

“I was hungry after a long days work, and wanted steak and a salad ..Tremell Moore was an amazing help and “made it happen”!!! His exact words were, “ I can make that happen “.

The food was absolutely delicious and Tereasa the hostess was a great hostess as well as helpful as she could be !”

The kitchen delivers heavy-hitting flavor, pairing their famous, mustard-dressed classic cheeseburgers and signature Wildcat Specials with crispy hand-cut fries, savory onion rings, and thick, old-fashioned milkshakes.”

“There is absolutely no reason to cook on the weekends! This week’s Friday meal of meatloaf, green bean casserole and mashed potatoes ROCKS! Yum! Thank you Sweet Thyme!”

“We stopped by during a vacation in Abilene. It has the yummiest coffee + best atmosphere inside and out! We were able to go out to a grassy area for our children to play while we enjoyed delicious coffee! They even explained the menu and helped me pick, it was perfect!”

“OK I don’t rave about places often, but Winchester Pub and Grill is on point! Yes, it’s a pub / grill and the food is humble, a tiny bit pricey, but man is it worth it! We went in for lunch and had the smoked bacon wrapped peppers, two drinks, I had the shaved ribeye with onion rings (SOOOOO many onion rings!), my husband had the 12-piece wings (way bigger than Wingstop wings) with sweet potato waffle fries. The bill was around $55 for all of it. I have never had a "ribeye" sandwich before that was really ribeye, but this was! so tender and juicy and not chewy or grizzly at all! I could only eat half of it; it was so big! We both brought enough food home for dinner too! This thing was over 8 inches long. We are from Buffalo NY and my husband said the "buffalo wings" were spot on. The smoked bacon wrapped peppers? OMG sooooooo good! THICK slices of bacon, you could taste the smoke and even with the generous sized pepper the bacon covered the whole thing. I scarfed them down so fast I got the picture after I had already eaten a few lol. The only tiny issue I had was the onion rings and waffle fries were cooked just a tad browner than I like them but it was no real biggie. All in all, great food, prices were good for the value they give, and the owner is a wonderful lady who dotes on you the whole time you are there! GO!!!”

“Best Thai food in West Texas!”

“Love La Pop! They have the best burritos and lemonade in town!”

“Their coleslaw is my fave! So fresh and full of flavor. I love that it is crisp and not soggy and over soaked with dressing. All their sides are so tasty, sometimes I have a hard time saving room for the meat! We love their brisket.”

“I've been coming here since 2005 and am from Houston tx but these or the best burritos/ Mexican food and I love it. U will not be disappointed I promise”

“My youngest son and I go there regularly. I try different Tacos every time and have liked every one I have tried. I always get some queso and normally the Taco of the Month and have not been disappointed!”

“My family and I absolutely love this place! It is the first place we ate at in abilene, and in my opinion thus far, the best. The atmosphere is always fun and happy, the food is delicious and the price is fantastic!”

“Wow!! What a fabulous burger!! Fast service, incredibly friendly staff. We’ve been looking for a good simple old fashioned burger. They’ve been there 27 years I’m glad we found them. They definitely do it right!!”

“The Mill was a wonderful venue for our wedding! Absolutely gorgeous building and Alicia was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process and helped even more on the day of!”

“Delicious food and quick. Build your own burritos and tacos. Street tacos. Food was fantastic. As a first-timer I didn’t know that when I ordered tacos I had to specify everything I wanted on it, so they came out meat only with pico. But they were still fantastic.”

“I was told about this place several weeks ago and finally got the chance to visit. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The salsa and chips were a very good start. The food was very tasty and there was plenty of food in each serving. It is definitely a restaurant that I will enjoy visiting again soon. One is coming to Brownwood, and hopefully it will be as good as the one in Abilene.”

“Didn’t have the best experience this evening, but reached out to them & I can’t even begin to tell you how incredible Chuck was to communicate back. I think it speaks volumes when the owner himself reaches out. We will be coming back!”

Beef tips and rice with mac n cheese and greens were all so delicious. I will definitely be coming back. Walked in and i think it took maybe 10 minutes from when I ordered til I got my food. I definitely recommend. Thank you for the amazing food and service.”

“I went to 7 brew for the first time today and my gosh, what an awesome group of people. Every staff member I spoke with was genuinely so sweet, such a pleasant experience. We had a conversation with Rayna while waiting for our drinks and she was so nice to speak with, that both my sister and I left the drive thru in a better mood. Will definitely make this my new coffee spot”

“(copy and pasted from my Google review) Tried Joe's for the first time this evening for take out. We got a NY style pizza with Alfredo sauce, spinach, and mushrooms. It was absolutely wonderful! Very fresh and as if the ownerscooks understood the taste profile. Loved it. Also had the focaccia, it isn't like I was expecting but it did NOT disappoint. I loved the blast of garlic and herbs, the mozzarella was so good. Tried the Pasta Samper (Lasagna, Pene Pasta, Manicotti) I love the amount of cheese that covered the dish. The stuffing in the manicotti was so creamy and smooth. I really enjoyed the beef in the dish is well very flavorful and cooked well. The salad with the house dressing is simply delightful. I could tell they were very busy this evening and even then they did not skip out on customer service and making sure the orders were right. No corners cut here. The food was hot, fresh, and overall a wonderful experience. Thank you for this amazing meal will definitely be back. Would love to try the stuffed pizza, calzone, or even Tarimissu next time. (I was tempted but already had plenty of food to sample) Keep up the great work definitely a great value especially with the cost of inflation these days and having to choose wisely where to go when dining out. I can't say enough great things about y'all. Even my partner who is part Italian on their father's side loved the sauce.”

“I received some special treats from the Salty Roan Bakehouse and absolutely loved them!! Great products and loved the cream cheese icing!! Definitely would recommend!! ❤️”

“Me and Hubby, wanted some good barbecue, my family business was Harold's Barbeque, and I grew on our family que, all my life, have tried so many other pits, and they have failed misberly, today I found good barbecue, and peach cobbler, I will definitely be going back, I believe you should try there, can not go wrong,”

“The people taking my orders are always so polite. And you guys do have the best caramel thing in the world! I always come back for more”

“I went to the new Barrow location this morning and got a carne guisada the burrito was HUGE and it was delicious. I can't wait to go back tomorrow.”

“This place is excellent. Food was hot and fresh and tasted amazing. We got the chicken Alfredo and chicken parmiagana.

Erika was exceptionally attentive, prompt and consistent from beginning to end. Everything seemed perfectly timed and genuinely led to a more authentic upscale experience. Even though the restaurant was completely packed, we felt like we were her only priority.

There was some disruption a few tables over and that would have normally dampened the mood, but I feel like Erika went over and above to compensate for it with extra attention to us and to the table next to us in a way that minimized the issues that were beyond anyone’s control.

I definitely enjoyed my experience and will be back. But I just had to note that in this instance the server particularly was experienced and attentive enough to overcome a potentially negative experience and turn it in to a positive one.”

“So good. Large servings. Great service.”

“I highly recommend this place. The owner is very kind and offered my child & I a free meal as we are facing a difficult time. Very sweet & kind lady!!”

“love coming here & so does my aussie doodle lol she loves the pup cup with shaved ice”

“The food here is always delicious and the customer service is amazing. Today I had an encounter with the GM at this location, an amazing person to deal with. He showed me a great act of kindness that really made my crappy week turn around. Thank you!”

“Tried it for the first time today. Walked in the south side location and was greeted by Angel. She was very friendly and explained everything well. We watched the guys roll out the ice cream and it looked delicious. Only took them a few minutes and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.”

“Excellent meat pies. I recommend the Shepherds pie and Cheese Burger pie. The apple pie for dessert was delicately crafted and just sweet enough. They all were warmed up and delicious! 😋”

“I just wanna brag on Chelsea's Burgers N' Brew as well as our waitress Erica today. We only come here maybe once a month but we love this place. Today was the first time we’ve been on a Sunday afternoon while the Cowboys are on as we usually go when it’s slower. Place was packed and the staff was swamped and might have been down a person or two in the kitchen. What matters most in times like those are how the restaurant staff handles it! Our waitress Erica was super friendly and professional and after us having to wait around an hour between our appetizer and finally getting our meals, Erica told us that she was gonna comp my wife and I’s two meals and we hadn’t even complained or anything. These local restaurants don’t HAVE to do that, y’all! Any chain restaurant and possibly other locals might have just had you pay any way like “deal with it.” So grateful for that customer service! Food was incredible as well! My wife enjoyed her burger and I highly enjoyed my Walk of Shame brunch dish (first time trying their brunch.) Much love to this place!!”

“Fresh fruit tea is my go to drink! All the flavors complement eachother so well 🍹”

“Definitely a hidden gem we have passed by this restaurant for years tonight I decided to stop not realizing it was 7:50 and they closed at 8:00.

“I ordered a sugar free vanilla latte with heavy cream, and it was AMAZING! The best sugar free coffee drink I’ve had in the area!”

“This place has great food and the place is always clean. Employees have always been kind and professional. I’m slowly gonna try everything but I found my favorite sub.”

“The people taking my orders are always so polite. And you guys do have the best caramel thing in the world! I always come back for more”

“Great service and coffee flavors they switch it up daily.”

“I’ll try to keep this short and simple, but me and my family moved over to Merkel from Central Florida back in March. Me and my husband used to eat ramen all the time from this specific shop we liked, and once we moved here we were worried we wouldn’t find another shop that was on par with what we liked. Now we’ve had several family members tell us Sup Noodle bar wasn’t good or worth it, but I’m not the type to follow others reviews i like conducting my OWN review. Anyways I’m writing this while my siblings finish eating, but my HEAVENS was this beyond amazing. Could be my postpartum hormones but i swear i almost cried while eating. We had pork buns, beef roll cake, Black Garlic ramen and the Hell Ramen. Please give this place a try, the parking lot always looks so empty and i wonder why when the workers are always on top of refills, making sure you’re enjoying your meal and have wonderful hospitality!”

“Stephanie gave us all her attention when she had free time, and made sure the food was just right on Saturday evening. Good job Steph!”

“I love the tamales here! All the food is very tasty and service is great!”

“Today’s visit was pleasant and the service was good. The food overall was very good. One slight slip was when I asked for just a little bit of cheese on my scrambled and wound up with a heap of it cooked into the eggs, making the consistency such that I couldn’t finish them. Other than that, the meal was great. I love the thick cut bacon they have - delicious! And my service was great!”

We got a custom-made cake at short notice these two ladies are truly amazing and beautiful people inside and out.”

“Shout out to Taco Casa Abilene on Buffalo Gap Road. We went and ate lunch and everything was great. I’m picky and like a bean burrito with not a ton of beans and the kitchen showed me the burrito before rolling it to see if that was how I wanted it. Then a man that worked there I guess noticed I didn’t finish my food and brought me a sack to take it home with me so it was easier to carry since I had a baby with me, he did this without me saying a word about needing one just thinking he’d make things easier on me to carry. So thoughtful. The place was super clean and the environment was great unlike anything I’ve seen elsewhere. They take pride in what they’re putting out and you don’t see that much nowadays especially in fast food.”

“Crash Pad Bar is a hidden gem with a great atmosphere. The drinks are well-crafted, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend something new. The cozy setting makes it perfect for unwinding with friends, and the music adds to the vibe without being overwhelming. Prices are reasonable, and the service is quick. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, you’ll feel welcome. Definitely worth checking out for a relaxed night out.”

“Great atmosphere and good drinks.”

“First off, don't EVER let the manager Santiago go again! We have been coming here for years and have always had amazing service and food. Until he was no longer here. The customer service was awful, the food was not good, and it took forever to get pizzas on the buffet. We tried it 3x while he was gone. It was never good! But today, at the request of our family, we tried yet again. SANTIAGO IS BACK!!!!! Absolutely made our day! The pizza was on point, customer service was wonderful! So much hot and fresh pizza on the buffet. Lots of variety. And pizza never ran out. We will continue coming back as long as Santiago is here!!”

The lady that worked the front desk helped put me on the waiting list for my green chili oil told me about keeping my bag to save money. Next time I come in.

“the food is always amazing. service was fast and friendly. always a go to stop.”

“Had a great time, went on a Saturday and the crowd was wonderful, the staff were friendly and personable. I plan on making this a regular place to go for live music.”

“We had one of the best dining experiences in recent memory at El Feniz Abilene on Saturday, 9/14/24. Brit is one of THE BEST servers we have ever had...she brings so much joy, life, knowledge of the restaurant and food as well such a kind and caring demeanor to her work. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious. The restaurant is authentic and very clean and you have that nostalgic feel of the Abilene of days gone by. We highly recommend El Fenix Abilene and will be returning many times!”

“Fabulous cafe with amazing service and even better food! 😊”

“I am not typically a fan of cinnamon rolls, but after hearing so many rave reviews, I finally decided to try these—and I was genuinely impressed. Having grown up with a grandmother who designed wedding cakes and a mother who could have easily run her own bakery, my standards are quite high. These cinnamon rolls are, without question, the softest and most moist I have ever tasted. The icing was exceptionally smooth—never grainy, as many are—and struck the perfect balance of sweetness. I only wish I had tried them sooner. Their fudge and other baked goods looked exceptional as well.”

“Everything is truly delightful! It is highly recommended if you have not yet had the pleasure of experiencing it. The employees are consistently kind and helpful. My daughter would happily dine there daily if given the opportunity. My current favorites are likely the pepper chicken or the broccoli and beef. My daughter typically chooses the sweet and sour chicken or the orange chicken. Furthermore, the portion sizes are generous for the price. We often have leftovers that we enjoy for lunch the following day.”

“Pam the bartender is awesome. Great mix even better times. Best cherry vodka sour. 5 stars Pam!!!!!! Best group of people i have met in Abilene hands down. ❤❤”

“I had to ask for some stuff that should have come with my order, but the food was still delicious. Kaylee was super sweet, and she helped fix the mistakes with a smile on her face. Also, I would suggest moving the swear jar away from the view of guests. I understand it's for the employees, but it's a bad look for a family-oriented place like Chick-fil-A.”

“Great Food Great people best steak in Abilene highly Recommend Mon-Fri lunch specials”

“The burgers have always been great. The last time I got the cheese steak sandwich and it was just as good. The fries are always great as well and the orders come out quickly. 100% would recommend.”

“the literal BEST street tacos in Abilene hands down. Heck ive tried a lot of tacos in my life from all over the world, including Mexico, and Tacolote is mouth watering authentic SOOO GOOOD! I also tried their fresas in crema and birria ramen...everything was fire! chefs kiss. im a fiend and will be following everywhere Tacolote goes”

“the customer service here is great, food delivery and preparedmess is quick and fresh but the comprehensive skills not so much. I been here twice and both times my orders are always wrong smh a little frustrating”

“Always hot, fresh and delicious 😋”

“This place will always be somewhere I can get cookies late at night. They really do have good quality cookies. I also believe that I can always come in my bonnet and my slippers and not be judged. service is amazing and everyone is so nice. you've got to go if you haven't.”

“Great quality food and the flavor was there plus great service.
10/10 Staff was very attentive and kind.

I didn't have to ask for drinks they were just refilled.
I was surprised to find the owner in the kitchen helping cooks and making sure the orders were made right before we received it. Loved that”

“I absolutely love the guys that work there... they are fun and inviting... they always make sure that their customers are well taken care of... amazing food and great people... definitely recommend this place”

“Riquísimo café mocha con chocolate”

“Great customer service and super fresh ingredients”

“If you are looking for delicious Mexican food, this is it! There are a variety of menu options. I had some delicious fish tacos, rice and beans. It reminded me of the traditional fish tacos I'd had in Mexico. Chips and salsa are self-serve. The food is authentic. We really enjoyed it!”

“This place is AMAZING. I come here every morning for my morning coffee and it’s the exact same every time. I value this because other companies coffee varies day to day. The workers are always super smiley and welcoming. I recommend everyone makes a QUICK stop by 7 brew to start their day! Did I mention they were quick? In and out in 3 minutes most mornings!”

“I cant get enough of the acai bowls. My husband and I have at least 2 a week. Love them.”

“Affordable and soooo delicious! We asked manager what her favorite menu items were and we got them. They did not disappoint at all! Definitely going back!”

“Great place to hang out and play games, arcade, xbox, play station, pool and more! The food is amazing and open early for breakfast. This is a must try!!”

“Best pork chops in town and the fries are amazing”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“Fresh and cooked to order, easily the tastiest Chick Fil A in Abilene!!!”

“Amendment 21 is the best! Love their beer selection and cocktails. Trivia night is always a blast. First Sunday of every month they have brunch with a coffee cart which I hear is fantastic.”

“I went there yesterday and got my daughter a snow cone! The two guys working were super sweet and helpful! The snow-cone was great too!”

“The Stanley Reading Room is a great place if you're needing books to draw spiritually closer to God.”

“This is a good location but now seems to have some issues. We just purchased a dozen (13) bagels and two tubs of cream cheese. There was a very limited number of bagels and no plain bagels at all. We had to substitute and took an array of different flavors. The cream cheese counter contained very few containers of cream cheese and we had to sort through the plain cream cheese to find two containers with reasonable expiration dates. We noticed a new sign on the window, Monday's bagels are $6 a dozen. That is a great buy and I just wonder if that is not reflective of a competitor's price and the need for new business. I trust this location will not continue to slip. The place was clean though.”

“For a hotel restaurant, the atmosphere was very, very good airy and roomie. The service was excellent as was the food which were of Texas size portions, though the menu was somewhat limited. Price wise compared to the rest of the trip they were a bargain.”

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Show Cones is the best! They flavors are bussin’ The perfect way to cool down your summer!”

“We were in search of real breakfast tacos. This place is the place to go when your in Abilene. Their tacos are delicious and they don't skimp on the filling. Nice staff.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Show Cones is the best! They flavors are bussin’ The perfect way to cool down your summer!”

“New pool tables”

“Love La Pop! They have the best burritos and lemonade in town!”

“Great service and food is always excellent! This is one of our go to spots. Food always comes out quick and fresh.”

“Now I see why the mall location shut down.. stopped by the Antilley location tonight 3/1 place a to go order wait forever I finally ask one of the workers to check on my order and its been sitting at the register for 10 minutes.. no calling out a name i guess we just assume all.to go orders are call ins thanks for wasting my time Heffs. Keep this kind of service up and this one won't last long either .. $30 and 30 minutes well spent ...”

“Nice bar & atmosphere in the downtown south district of Abilene offering a variety beverages, food truck services, and fun open mic nights with a great live local band, Basic Truth every 4th Sunday, each month. Great prices on the drinks. Customer friendly bartenders & staff. It’s such a good time. The energy is fun, warm, and welcoming to all who patronize. It’s a diverse & varied environment. I highly recommend supporting the open mic nights. You don’t have to be a pro or seasoned singer. It’s kind of like karaoke with a live band plus the band performs songs in between. They take the time out to learn the music to the song you want to perform. Basic Truth is a soulful, artistically talented, group of local musicians with a power house lead lady singer. They are very open and welcoming to all different types of musical artistic expressions. If you haven’t checked open mic nights out yet, you’re truly missing out. Love, Light, Peace, Blessings, Community, care”

“Very friendly staff and food was delicious. Not like other Mexican restaurants where the Mexican staff act snotty towards Mexican Americans. We just ordered burritos to go because we were leaving out of town so not sure about the rest of their menu but the burritos were great.”

“It’s really good, but this is the 2nd time I’ve ate here and there was hair in my food WTF!!”

“Thanks for the great service Ki! You are awesome.”

“I simply cannot rave enough about Spicy India. we have been several times and it had been consistently amazing. we truly love this place so much!!!”

“These employees here are some of the most positive, cheerful people on the planet. I can’t believe how positive this group is here. Everyone I talked to was just such great energy and just all around happy. Things you do not see at all much these days with people anywhere you go. Will be back for sure. Love it North Abilene Chilis. Keep it up”

“Not really recommendations food was good was delicious Had to reorder my fries because first batch wasn’t hot they were lukewarm Overall place need a good cleaning Walls at are booth were dirty hand prints on wall Partitions between booths full of hand prints Also lot of dust on ledges”

“Great location, wonderful pizza, and friendly staff!”

“Had such a great service from Barbara my server. I had questions about an item in the menu and she so kindly took her time to give me every detail. Food was fast and service was really fast.”

“Servers are always friendly and welcoming.

Orders on app are usually made correctly and fresh.

Always have a good experience.”

“Best drinks and love their staff!!!”

“We went at 11, which we thought would be a slow time, but it was not. They were just opening for lunch, so some lines started slowly, but not for long. There were many great choices, and we chose the station for chicken and pasta casserole which was wonderful! Also had tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms. Yummy! It was full of college students, so busy and not quiet, but not too loud. Lots of conversation and laughter around. Also several options of fresh fruit and desserts to grab. Great lunch!”

“I only doordashed it so I can't speak to staff/atmosphere. However, the food is really good and with decent prices compared to other local burger options. It feels like you pay less without losing quality.”

“Food is AMAZING!! Workers handle business really well but I order through the app so that it can be ready when I get there and it’s never ready on time. I’ll show up 5 minutes AFTER my order was scheduled to be ready and watch someone go through the entire line and get there’s before I reviewed mine. From an order I placed 15 minutes prior. Not sure what the business model is there but it definitely needs some altering”

“We had the best had the best enchilada plates for our Christmas party at North’s Funeral Home💙 food was ready on time and came with all condiments and utensils. Will definitely be using them for future gatherings.”

“Best part of the visit was our waitress Jaden (or Jade), she was awesome. She was very attentive to us and made the experience worth coming back. The enchiladas were good. The fajitas weren’t the best, but weren’t the worst. The churros were good.”

“The Abilene Marco’s is amazing! We ate in the store tonight and had an awesome experience. The owner and staff were extremely kind and accommodating, our food was great, and the store was clean. 100/10!!!”

“Friendly quiet dining. Beautiful atmosphere. Great breakfast plater!!”

“good food ,and clean recommended”

“I’ve been a customer here for over 10 years. I’ve tried three different china buffet places, but this one has the freshest and best-tasting crawfish. The seasoning is just right, and the food is always flavorful and delicious.

The staff are also very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. This is always my first choice when I want to enjoy a buffet, and it’s also the place I recommend and bring my friends to.”

“Not packed. Was able to get some work done.”

“I think the servers name was Kayshawn We’ve been dining here for over 10 years. He has got to be the absolute best server we’ve ever had. Along with training a newbie , he was polite to her while training and still doing his thing. He’s management material without a doubt.”

“Definitely loved being around my black brothers and sisters here in Kent and it was drama free good music and food”

“Best Ribs in town. Great chicken fried steak”

“I have been coming here for over 15 years, and it to this day is my favorite restaurant in Abilene! Jodie has made my burrito the last several times and these have been the best burritos I have ever had from Sharkys! Definitely recommend and see if you can get Jodie she is always a delight!”

“Courtney the manager is amazing. I witnessed a customer try to guilt-trip her by saying he wasn’t important. But she handled that with so much grace. Keep up the good work Courtney! You’re an amazing manager!”

“When I enter an establishment I’m looking at the upkeep, cleanliness, and general feel of tha place…I’ve always loved coming here, my favorite burrito on the go place in Abilene…service , food , atmosphere , andauthenticity…..u get an 8 all day….highly recommend”

“Schlotzsky’s is good. Not sure what was happening this evening but I think they need some more training. Service was slow. I redeemed my reward for the $8.00 meal but was still charged almost $10. Not sure what happened and the young man didn’t seem to know what was even going on. Glad I was eating at home because I didn’t get a straw or napkins. When I did get home the sandwich was “blah” the bread tasted stale. I love Schlotzsky’s but it will be awhile before I go back”

“I loved the lady who provided me service. She was patient and happy to help. The food was AMAZING Fresh and very crispy! Those biscuits 😋😋😋mmmm.”

“Typically this place is pretty good. However, I just door dashed an order that should have been half garlic BW and half Hawaiian BW. Instead I ended up with a different flavor replacing my garlic BWs. It was kind of disappointing, but I do still enjoy the place.”

“OMG - This place is awesome. Food was great, the sweet on the mashed potatoes was a real surprise for my tastebuds. Brisket was simply delicious. Whenever in Abilene, stop by, you wont regret it. Thank you guys for reminding us how great the State's Culture is.”

“I had a fun experience, the atmosphere was definitely family friendly. Their “Western” burger was really good. Customer service was good especially Mary who’s the manager”

“My sister invited me to join her for a meal at Whataburger and the customer service was wonderful. Also my combo meal was delicious. The atmosphere was so great! I always enjoy meeting and greeting all the beautiful folks of Abilene.
Thanks Whataburger for your exceptional customer service. I'm looking forward to returning again real soon.”

“This is my go to Starbucks in Abilene. They are always so friendly and the store is kept clean. I often see the manager working in the store and hopping on the line if they get busy. The baristas (even the new ones) always give me my drink with a smile!”

“I did a online order. The ordering was easy. But what they don't explain is if your order contains extra sides in the tender family meal you don't get family sides. I ordered the 16 tenders plus gallon of tea and large tea..I received 1 large gray and rest single serve potatoes, Cole slaw,Mac n cheese 1 small mashed potatoes,,for $51. I tried calling but was put on hold..go figure. Too much money. too little food.”

“The food and the service was outstanding! We will go back!”
