35 Best American Restaurants in Abilene

“Wonderful food. Great service and a very unique atmosphere“

“I picked the Hoppin Johnny. Hands down, the best burger I’ve had in a long time! Great atmosphere, reasonable pricing, & friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“Food is good decent but the guy in the steaks gets mad every time we ask for a steak like if it was too much for him to give us a steak. I’m sorry but if you don’t like your job or having a bad day don’t come in.“

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

“I absolutely love the green chili olive oil. I cook with it every day the Cayenne olive oil was amazing. 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. She was so kind and amazing that I highly recommend Cordell‘s for all your spices and olive oil needs. They will take care of you and give great recommendations.“

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“

“We have Denny's every week. Always good food and very good service. Our server, Lacy, is very attentive. I get a variety of menu items and they are all good. Try the red skin potatoes. I don't know of any other place that has them like this.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“had BR brisket & sausage, potato salad, beans, corn, cornbread and banana pudding delivered last night - everything was excellent !“

“They are doing a great job today!! Awesome how fast they were with only two people working.“

“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.“

“Rosa was awesome this evening. Had a great time celebrating my wife’s Birthday“
