Bar & Grill in Abilene

“M & R Grill is a lively spot, especially if you’re stopping in during a game. We had hamburgers, which were solid, though a bit on the pricey side for the quality. The place was packed with families watching football on all the TVs, giving it a fun, energetic atmosphere.

Service was clearly stretched thin — we waited about 10 minutes to be seated because the bartender was also acting as the host — but to their credit, they were hustling and doing their best. Parking can be tricky when it’s busy, so be prepared to circle around a bit.

I’d go back under the right circumstances, especially if you’re in the mood for a casual spot to grab a burger and catch a game with the locals.“

“What a gem. I didn't know it was there. Hotel clerk raved and they did not disappoint. I had the best mushroom and Swiss burger ever. It was bourbon infused somehow. Also partner had bourbon bacon cheeseburger. Both fantastic. They had full dinner options too. Bellied up to the bar for a beverage while I waited. Will be a place I revisit next trip.“
