I liked the hand battered onion rings. Service is friendly but very slow and I think this place is closing.

My second time here. Five brothers and sons met to try the Downtown Burger Brawl burger. It's called the Fire & Smoke burger. It was fantastic! Easily the best burger I've had lately. First visit, I had the bacon cheeseburger, while both my nephews did the burnt ends Mac and cheese. They loved it, and my burger was damn good too. A good place that you need to try. See you there!

My wife and I tried this place on a Sunday afternoon. Is this a bar that happens to serve food, but its specialty is drinks? Or is this a restaurant with an immense bar? If the former is true, it makes sense that the food is not impressive. But if the latter is the case, then I assume there is a problem in the kitchen.If you see this place from the outside, your expectations rise since it is aesthetically pleasant. The inside could be more enchanting but needs consultation from an interior designer.There were two other families in the dining room, yet it took 42 minutes for our food to arrive at our table. How long should it take to open a mixed salad bag from HEB and put it on the plate?On the other hand, two things were fantastic: The meat over the salad (which was on point) and the chicken sandwich bread. I would try this place again because it is not overpriced and we all deserve a second chance.

I would put money on the fact that the salad came out of a bag. The brisket Mac and cheese was ok but not great. We started with the pretzel bites and cheese and that was good. Definitely the star of the meal.

The service was great and our food selections were satisfying and as expected. We went fairly late in the evening and we didn't have a wait. The mac and cheese was very good.My only concern was accessibility. I'm not sure if they had one on the opposite side of the building but the wheelchair ramp on the side we entered would definitely not be usable by the average user, it was very steep. So if you need an accessible entry you may have difficulty.

This place is amazing, I attended my girlfriend's work Christmas party here and she has gluten issues, this restaurant went above and beyond and provided gluten free options specifically for her to enjoy her work party. Staff was amazing, food was amazing, and drinks were amazing, if you get the point this place is amazing. If you haven't checked it out you are missing out. Thank you for making this such a great experience.

Amazing service and great food! We will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: They treated our kids great!
Appetizers are great and good start. Salsa with chips was so good. Jalapeno margarita has perfect bite, you will enjoy. The food is great next time I'm trying a salad, and they have shiner holiday cheer!

I'm always eager to try a new place in Abilene! I'll start by saying the service was spectacular and it was incredibly clean inside. Our waiter truly was so personable, attentive, and kind! The outdoor atmosphere is a huge plus here as well. Overall, I'd consider this place a good option for appetizers and drinks specifically. We tried their Bacon Gouda Mac & Cheese bites with the jalopeno ranch and creole sauce to dip in and it was delicious!! Their fried pickles were also delicious! I wasn't as impressed with our meals. I really wish that the Mac & cheese side had been the same as the inside of the Mac & cheese bites and our wraps were on the smaller & dryer side. Their grilled chicken on the other hand was great! This place absolutely has the potential to be 5 stars if the meals were to get a lil extra love to them.
