With an an incredibly picky fiancé, and my (WAY MORE) picky attitude, we both LOOOOOOVED it!!!! I had the salmon (without the creamy stuff that they put it on), he had a steak. I 100% recommend coming here!!!! We always sit at the bar to eat and the bartenders are fun, funny, and friendly as heck! We will be coming here again if we come through Abaline again. read more

Beehive is a lovely place to grab drinks after work with friends, or a perfect date night with my husband! The staff are remarkable!

Unimpressed. Happy hour only in bar area. Asked waiter about cocktails very short in response. Didn't find the menu appetizing. Went to restroom staff was gossiping and using foul language. First time to Abilene left and went to another local restaurant. read more

Lunch, not so much, dessert OH, YEAH! So I came in for chicken fried steak. I was bummed that you couldn't choose the type of potatoes. I would have preferred either mashed or french fries to go with the gravy. Turns out they have a vegetable and potato of the day and there are no substitutions. Today was red potatoes with dill. All afternoon the dill flavor repeated on me. Not pleasant. For dessert I can't recommend the chocolate cake enough. Six layers of delicious cake with a yummy chocolate frosting between each layer. So moist and delicious. read more

Excellent food, great service and reasonable prices. The only trouble I have is deciding on what to order.

Great place. We were traveling from Little Rock to Phoenix and stopped in Abilene for the night. Looking for a place to eat we saw The Beehive on our hotel list of places and decided to give it a try. Boy were we happy we did. Staff was very pleasant and greeted us upon entry and exit. Our server, Lacey, made us feel comfortable and never missed a beat to see if we needed anything. Food was very, very good and plentiful. We would recommend The Beehive to anyone stopping off in Abilene. read more

Been here a many times and the food is always wonderful. Escargot, fried shrimp, and the prime rib are favorites.

The food is delicious. Never had a problem with service once seated. Getting seated can be a bit of a bear. As can be expected with a popular restaurant, the wait time to be seated can sometimes range from 15 minutes to over an hour depending on the night, holiday or any downtown event. read more

Ashamed to see anything less than a perfect 5 star rating. I'm impartial because I don't know the owner and I'm not one to boost someone's image just because they asked (nobody's ever done so for me). This place is a local place, small, relaxed, but done to the 9's with linens and professional uniformed staff. They were busy but knew how to roll with it like the pro's they are. Everyone including the customers were cheerful and kind. Food was impressive and the price was more than fair. Being in business for myself, I know the value of a good customer and I also know while you can't please everyone, people always zero in on the negative and read those... I hope that isn't the case with this place. read more

Food is good but not outstanding and the prices are high. The server we had was amazing!!! Great for a date night or a Novel experience!

Ok...so I'm a little confused. Good reviews yet missed the mark. I'll start with the good. Our waitress Sarah was great! The rolls were good, especially the herbed rolls. The ranch dressing on the salad was good yet a tad salty. My wife ordered the fried shrimp and she had no complaints. Now for the bad. The prices were pretty high for the quality of food. I ordered the 10 oz rib eye, ordered it medium. Came to me as a very done medium well pretty close to well done. I showed the waitress and she took it back and brought me another well done steak. For $24 when you order medium I think you should get medium, on the first try, unless it's a cooking school. I sucked it up and just decided to eat the second steak but the steak was so salty, more salty than any I had ever had. It was tender enough but not juicy, a product of the over cooking most likely. The salad was mediocre and looked like lettuce jazzed up with sliced tomato. the baked potato was anemic, sparse toppings and almost warm. Even the decor was low class. Certainly not upscale. In the end the steak was taken off the bill, thanks for that, the chef or manager apologized, but I could never recommend bee hive. Too much for too little. read more

Didn't get to try the food because of the rude hostess that kept seating others in front of us when we were there first. Disorganized and unfriendly! Went to Lytle Land and Cattle and service and food were terrific!!! Will come here again when in town. read more

Great food! Nice local spot in Texas. Seemed busy but we got there early for dinner. Prime rib sold out quickly. AND...their long islands are AWESOME!! read more

Get the chicken fried steak and a long island iced tea. If you don't like it, you should probably just move back to Russia because you're a filthy communist. read more

Not as good as I hoped. For the price, we were hoping for an amazing steak with great sides. Baked potato or French fries were the only options for a $30 steak. Portion sizes were large but not great quality meet. We were disappointed. On a positive side, Server was nice & the soup of the day was delicious. read more

Food was on point! The steak was cooked to perfect temp and melted in your mouth, the asparagus was crisp but not stringy. The pulled pork stuffed avocado had wonderful flavor and texture that all blended magnificently. The bread was a bit disappointing, tasted like cheap store bought rolls that where kinda tough. So the food gets five stars let me tell you why I deducted three of them. First off if you are going to charge fine dining steakhouse prices I will review you like a fine dining restaurant & upon sitting down my silverware was streaky like the water in the dishwasher and the linen they where using to "polish" hadn't been changed in a while, that's kinda gross. Next I asked if I could substitute asparagus for for the side of a potato in which the server responded yes but you still have to pay FULL price for the side of asparagus... News flash that's not a substitution I should also mention the asparagus and the potato are the same price on the menu?!?! It doesn't seem like satisfaction of the guest is the main concern here. My appetizer came out in appropriate time, but then I must have waited another 40 min for my main dish my professional opinion would say the server forgot to put my food in since the tables next to me who sat down after me got their food first. When my food got there the potato showed up once I was nearly done so I just got a to-go box. Also the decor of this place is tired and boring with no flow, what's up with the cubicle sections? Head down the hall and to the other room and you're in the bar which is also pretty boring in decor. It's like they found an office, painted the walls put a bunch of mismatch Texas stuff on the walls and called it a day. Drywall for as far as the eye can see with those cheap office ceiling tiles just painted & cheap looking chairs and tables. It was kind of a disappointing "experience". Beehive if you are going to try to pull off fine dining don't half ass it. Make sure your decor, service, and details (I.E. Silverware, linens, pricing) are all on point. read more

Beehive Restaurant - It was delicious! (don't mind that little hair on the upper right corner of the plate). - Steakhouses Near Me - Abilene, Texas

See all

Stuffed avocado was excellent. I ordered it for an entree. It was more than I could eat and delicious.

One of the best restaurants in the Abilene area. Always great! Service is great. Never had a bad experience. Green Chicken lasagna is the best!! read more

I love the BeeHive in Downtown Abilene. The crisp, white tablecloths and fresh flowers on each table give it such a classic feel. The steaks are so juicy and cooked just right. I really enjoy dining here. It has such a nice atmosphere. read more

Fantastic fried shrimp! The chicken salad was very good. Andrea provided great service but didn't hover We will be back.

Amazing ambiance, staff, food and service. Scott the manager provides the kind of personal service that you can only get it Texas. The best service I have ever gotten has been on business trips to Texas and Scott ranks at the top of the list. The Beehive is a must dine when in Abilene. read more

The beehive is a miss for me. First, it is pretty pricy for what they serve. The burger tastes funky (if you're looking for burgers try heff's or wholly cow instead) and there are no refills on drinks, really? Where are we Europe? The bar is a lot of fun, but there are better places to eat. read more

Had a great time celebrating a special occasion at the Beehive always great food and great service and Jared did a fantastic job at the bar

I came here by myself around prime dinner time. The place was busy but not enough that i had to wait (when I left there was a wait time around 7pm). The restaurant had a weird layout and a few times i saw near collisions of patrons and food. The service was poor, since I was by myself the waiter tended to larger tables before worrying about me. I ordered the house salad which was nice, wish there was a description though because it had blue cheese on it and I hate blue cheese, would have asked that they removed that. I ordered the 6oz filet with steamed veggies. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender and delicious. The veggies were pathetic, looked like something out of a frozen veggie bag, but thats what i get for ordering substitute for the baked potato. Try eating healthy in West Texas, its not easy :) Overall I would say this place is good and the price wasnt too high, just dont expect great service if you are alone and there are regulars in your section. read more

One of best steaks in town. Also, other good entrees to choose from. I think it may be a $$$ for Abilene, but you get what you pay for.

Amazing Long Island iced tea. Daily lunch specials are always good, as are the soups and salads. Wish they would open for lunch on Saturday. Great chicken fried steak and you have to try the kebabs. read more

What a surprise! The special was pork rouladin, and it was outstanding. Thank you Yelp for guiding me to this gem on the only evening that I will ever be in this town. read more

I have not eaten at the location downtown, however, I have ordered through Arrowhead Delivery. The food arrived very well packaged and it was absolutely delicious! I could not be happier with the delivery. Two thumbs up! read more

So so disappointed! Nobody in our group was happy with their meal. Over priced if you ask me. We kept hearing best in town. I feel like we could have all gotten the same thing at Logan's for a tastier steak 1/3 the price. I wouldn't recommend this place, sorry read more

I used to go to this place once a week. I spent an average of $7000 a year at this place. I always ate at the bar. One year ago they stopped serving food at the bar on weekends. Now I go there once every couple of months and eat in the dining room. Service in the bar is excellent. Service in the dining room is Awful! Tonight I order Prime Rib. After thirty minutes the server informed us that they were out of prime rib and asked us what we wanted instead. My wife said just the check for our wine. Don't go here on the weekend. Only go during the week when you can eat at bar. read more

We had been driving all day, en route for Lubbock, and really needed a stiff drink after a great steak dinner at Lyte's. The bartender was a total amateur, ignored us and when we finally got our order in for a single glass of whiskey on the rocks , he could hardly handle it because a couple of girls were sitting at the bar and he was too distracted by them. Absolutely terrible bartenders. read more

The great reviews we read were accurate. Based on those we had the beef Oscar and the Rib Eye. Both were fantastic! This is a great place to eat! read more

Great food and service. We had a group of ten with different plates and no complaints. Best place in Abilene so far

I used the Yelp iPhone app to find a place for lunch. The map showed me how to get here. The day's special was meat loaf sandwich--delicious!--the best corn chowder I've had and a good pasta salad. This is an attractive restaurant with first rate service. Will be back when in Abilene. read more

If you are visiting Abilene you have to eat steak. Beehive is fabulous. Service outstanding, steak melts in your mouth, prices reasonable....can't think of a single negative. Loved it. A must when you are in Abilene. read more

My wife had the steak and I had the pork chops which are stuffed with andouille sausage and a breading and cheese mixture all wrapped with a piece of bacon! We had rolls and salad with our meal. YUM! Both were great! This was our first time here and we will definitely be back! Great service! read more

Overrated and Overpriced! A meat and potatoes restaurant. Simple and average food passing for good cuisine. My husband and I will not return. read more

The hostesses were HORRIBLE! The worst I have ever experienced. However the food was amazing, as always and the wait staff was top notch. So 1 star, 0 if I could for the hostesses and 5 stars for food and wait staff, so had to do 3. The hostesses were very rude, very unprofessional and clearly have no idea how to do their job. And even when they sat us, commenced to literally throw the menus around to all 4 places. I called her out on it and she said that's just how she does it but I don't believe it for a minute because she was already mad at me. I had been told 30-40 minute wait and after 45 minutes I inquired and was told another 10-15 minutes then after nearly 1 1/2 hours I inquired again where all 3 hostesses all started making excuses at once. Talk about being out numbered and feeling attacked!? Completely out of line and uncalled for! I'm 53 years old and have never been so disrespected so badly! read more

Well, I read great reviews for chicken fried chicken but they only serve it for lunch. Then I asked for the calamari steak but they haven't served it for at least a month. Since I didn't want a steak for dinner the waitress recommended the salmon or shrimp but I couldn't convince myself that seafood was the best choice in Abilene, Texas. Instead of walking out I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries, other than the fries being way-too seasoned, my dinner was surprisingly good. The burger was cooked perfectly and very tasty! Overall, I was impressed. If the steak is as good as the burger I'll definitely be back when I'm in the mood for one. I'll also need to come back for the lunch time chicken fried chicken! read more

We have been going to both restaurants for many years. The service at the Abilene restaurant is awful. Let me clarify...not the servers, the hostesses. They are rude. Nothing else to say, they are simply rude. We have been in several times over the years and first they ran off my parents by keeping that rude bartender met for years. They now have three of the rudest hostesses I have ever seen. And this is not based on ONE experience, this is based on several. I have actually never written a review like this and I am doing so now in hopes that the owners see this and do something about those girls. They are truly horrible. The food is usually pretty good, if you can stomach making it past these women and their absolute rudeness without walking out. read more
