After living in Abilene since 1977 I finally found the time to come in and try it out! Every time I drive down South 1st and pass it I’d tell myself I really need to check it out! The staff was friendly and the food was hot and delicious! Plus it was a nice cool afternoon to sit out on the patio! I’m definitely going to have to go back and try something else on the menu!
