Need to update your restaurant hours to reflect your actual hours of serving food. We came for breakfast and the website and here says 7-2.

My husband and I began with drinks in the Cattlemen's Bar, perfect drinks, and then moved to the Smokehouse for dinner. The food was excellent and service was great. My husband had the smoked prime rib and I had short ribs. It was a fabulous evening.

I do not recommend the breakfast. I really want this place to succeed and I’m not sure if it’s the cook or the quality of food they are being given. Our eggs were powdered and my husband’s biscuits and gravy were horrible where we weren’t sure what they were. How can you mess up breakfast that bad? The service was great but I’m hoping they will work on the food.

Don’t get the short rib! Nothing but fat and no seasoning at all. It’s a nice fancy restaurant, but for the price you’re paying for the food, I will never go back had a party of 15 people and nobody was impressed.

Our server did not tell us the special for the night. We only found out there was one when a neighboring server told her guests after our food had arrived. It seems that they have raised prices by about double from when they first opened which was disappointing. The food was good but not worth that price point.

My husband and I went on a Sunday for dinner. We started with the brussel sprouts and the jalapeno cornbread. I liked the flavor of the brussel sprouts, but they were too tough. It says they're fried, so I was expecting more of a crispiness, but they were not at all crispy. Great flavor, though.My husband LOVED the cornbread. I liked it. I love sweet cornbread, and this was not sweet. I explained it to my husband as: If Texas had a flavor, it would be this cornbread.For the main course, I ordered the brisket, and my husband ordered a filet. He LOVED his filet. He even talked about it hours later when we were sitting on the couch watching tv.I thought my brisket was ok. I've had standout brisket here in Abilene, and this doesn't make even my top 5. The flavor is good, but the texture is terrible. It was chewy and rough. The potatoes were good, but the gravy was bland. The broccolini was bland and didn't really go with the brisket, in my opinion.For the price, we expected the best. It is very expensive for what it is.

Went for dinner. Had cocktail each (every person thought they were delicious-3 different). Main meal—good. We all had desserts. Most were huge. Ask about size if that matters. I took most of my carrot cake home and had three more desserts from it. We had someone gluten free with us and the staff(without prompting) brought her the hotel package cookies. Obviously they weren’t chef made, but it made her so happy to be able to eat dessert with everyone.Dietary restrictions: I have nightshade allergies and most of their food has peppers or potatoes, but they substitute without any issue.

We were hoping for great restaurant experience in Abilene. Instead, we were greeted with long waits for food (while there were maybe 10 tables of couples) the staff was inattentive and forgetful and spent more time on their phones than taking care of customers. I understand it's a holiday weekend and we tried to be understanding. I waited 20 mins for an order only to have the waitress come over and ask "didn't you order a drink"? I spoke to mgmt and said we were disappointed. I doubt we will be back. Furthermore, when the menu says braised short rib. I should get a short rib and not a beef rib that's hard and dry, photo provided for bone size comparison. Overall, this was a very disappointing $48 plate. However, the bar was great...

It's fine it's just not a good value, for the price range there's 3 other restaurants within a few miles that feature better quality food. Prices need to come down or the level of food needs to come up to be competitive.

My fiancé and I had our 5th anniversary dinner here. The food was delicious. I had the salmon, my fiancé had the snapper. They were perfect. Melissa, our server, was friendly and very thoughtful. I highly recommend.

We went for NYE and there were 3 of us. The service was awful, took forever to get our drinks. The food was no better. The steaks were not seasoned properly, the broccolini was under cooked and the salad had too much dressing. It ended up being about $100 per person and not worth the money at all. We will not be back.

We had the private room for my great grandmothers birthday. Staff was very friendly and professional and did everything possible to make the experience special for her! Dessert was absolutely fantastic with truly Texas sized portions. Highly recommend this place for your next family get together! Thank you SO MUCH Smokehouse!
