“Larry's Better Burger Drive-In brings a vibrant, high-energy dose of nostalgic diner comfort straight to Abilene. The bustling, old-school neighborhood landmark pairs a retro, no-frills walk-up shack with exceptionally warm, family-owned Texas hospitality. 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.“

All good reasonable price. Service was fine atmosphere is like a large diner. I would comeback and bring friends and family.“

“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!“

“We are newer to Abilene and Texas Flaming Grill was recommended to us a few weeks ago. We have ate here several times since then! Absolute amazing food, even better atmosphere! The people here are genuinely friendly and super happy to see their customers come through the door! We manage a campground nearby and always recommend this place to our guests! Definitely couldn’t ask for better food and folks!“

“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 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!“

“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!!“

“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“

“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 ...“

“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 came to Abilene specifically to try Mr. Burger, and it did not disappoint! We ordered a Jr. Burger, a Triple Cheeseburger, and fries. The burgers were exactly what a classic burger should be—simple, flavorful, and satisfying. What really stood out was that they weren't overly greasy like some burger places. Instead, they had that nostalgic, old-school burger taste that reminded me of childhood while still being absolutely delicious.

The fries were crispy and cooked perfectly. They actually reminded me of the fries Burger King used to serve back in the '90s—golden, crunchy, and full of flavor. They were the perfect complement to the burgers.

Overall, the trip was well worth it. If you're looking for a classic burger experience that brings back memories while still delivering great food, Mr. Burger is definitely worth a visit.“

“Love how many options are available and the super-friendly staff! I can't tell you how many times they've called me by my first name, saying hello when I walk in and then again and to have a good day when I leave. Fast, courteous, and good sandwiches. Love coming here!!!“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“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.“

“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“

“Nice place everyone pretty professional I would say tho the one person to stuck out is a Bar back name nick works pretty hard stand up guy really respectful some of bar tenders have no personality tho maybe I came in on certain days but it’s not a big deal great place tho overall could use some personality behide the bar…“

“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.“

“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“
