    Spicy chicken tenders
    Cathy N.

    Fast food joint but consists of delicious fried sides. We opted for the spicy chicken tenders instead of the regular ones and waited longer for them to be made. Tenders were juicy and crispy and came with a side of rich gravy to dunk them in. Corn nuggets: reminded me of creamed corn dipped in corn dog batter. These were sooo good! I could eat endless corn nuggets. Fried gizzards: gizzards were dipped in what looks like their chicken tenders batter and then fried. If you're a gizzards fan, I recommend trying these. Sweet tea: only 92 cents for a 32oz?! Ugh I'm sold. I wish they had a chicken express back here in California.. currently missing those corn nuggets as I write this.

    This is how pie was chicken express

    Just got an order delivered and they are having some sort of issue , with the order taking ! However when called store to let know family sized okra was not edible due to be so old was like rubber even tried to heat up still a no go! So no okra, then had an apple pie and cherry pie, apple was fine this is how the cherry pie was see photos! So called girl who answered less than concerned hung up on first call just picked up hung up! Called back again sounded like I was talking to someone Half asleep or having really bad day! Ok so asked to put my name down as they owe me a cherry pie and a family size FRESH OKRA FRESH PIE when I go back again! All I got was an ok I will put name on list sounded like bad luck shleprock! I doubt seriously this employee did anything at all! Just a suggestion instead of offering excuses why don't you ask how you can help first!!!! Just shocking no pride in product at all!

    My daughter and I went to the store on turner plz in abilene and ordered the family meal #16 and it was supposed to come with 16 pieces of chicken and 3 family sides and rolls.. we got home and found that we got 1 side of mashed potatoes and 2 rolls and 12 pieces of chicken.. missing alot of my order and when I called the store to talk about it I was hung up on 4x and then finally spoke with someone claiming to be a manager and was extremely rude and said that it wasn't her problem that I didn't get what I ordered and to deal with it since I didn't check my order before I left the store then proceeded to hang up on me again! I'm so irate angry! After that happened I doubt very seriously that I will go back unless someone fixes what happened to me! It's not customer service at all the way I was treated and talked to.. horrible

    As a Pescatarian, it is very delightful that Chicken Express has seafood options. They have amazing fried fish and I love their fried okra. The customer service is also top tier as the manager Ms. Monica always greets me with a warm smile and friendly personality everytime I see her. And my food is always served hot and fresh which is added bonus!

    Empty 44oz Cup of Ice

    Cheryl was very rude and yelled at me when I asked for a little more ice for their tea all I got was a 1/4 cup at first. She yelled at me saying they are not allowed to give out any extra ice and what I got will have to do... the tea was soured as well

    While I do like the food, cheap and quick counts too! When your in the mood for chicken, Express is one of my favorite places. The new remodel is very nice, but to get to the drinks, you have to walk thru the people standing in line to order. Oh well. I usually get the tenders, then you have to decide on a side. Corn nuggets of course! But this time I got fries and put the serendipity hot seasoned salt on them. Yes, hot seasoned salt. It was so Good! See the picture. Now I have to add it to the gravy too. Great place for a quick lunch, and we'll be back.

    The microphone may be broken but they come out to take your order
    Jim T.

    Their chicken fingers are so juicy and well breaded. Rolls are really good yeast rolls, made on site. Mashed potatoes are great, fries are worthy and to top it off they know how to make white gravy! My daughter says don't forget to tell about their sweet teA, best in town. So why only Four stars. For over half a year the order microphone and speaker has been out for a long time. Good folks, good food.

    Look at the new tile!!!

    We went to Abilene for a night and stopped at The Taylor County Taphouse since this place was…read morerecommended by locals on various social media. Ambiance: Bar/pub vibes - heavy wood decor. Casual. We sat at the bar and our bartender was amazing! He was funny and attentive despite being very busy! Service: The restaurant was so busy with diners even at 8:30 PM on a Saturday evening. I did not expect it to be this busy in my head. My husband and I sat at the bar since that was open seating and there were no sit down tables available inside or on the patio. The restaurant will add you to the waitlist if you'd like! Food: My husband and I shared the deviled eggs appetizer, and "the burger" with grilled jalapeños and pepper jack cheese. The deviled wggs (satan's huevos) were good, and spicy because we chose the "hellfire" option. The burger was huge! I'm glad my husband I split it because there was no way I'd finish that burger on my own! We both left content and not stuffed.

    My wife and I came here on a Saturday early afternoon. We were sat and handed brunch menus which…read moredidn't have the Philly cheese steak on it. We looked at the menu online prior to coming and knew that we both wanted to try the cheese steak, so this was a bit of a bummer. They waitress who was very attentive told us that we can't order from the full menu for another 30 minutes so we decided to wait rather than leave. Listen, I get it the idea of having a different menu for brunch, but why not post it on your website and state the specific times for each menu? Also, what difference does 30 minutes make? They couldn't fire up the grill 30 minutes early? It wasn't very busy. Anyways, now for the good part: When we were finally allowed to order our sandwiches they were absolutely amazing. The steak was high quality and the gooey cheese had a ton of flavor. What wasn't amazing however was the bill. $20 for a sandwich and a small portion of fries in Abilene is absolute insanity. What's even crazier is we were charged extra for a side of ranch! I understand you get what you pay for, and there's no arguing the quality of the sandwich was top notch, but at the end of the day it's still just a sandwich. If you're good with dropping nearly $60 (including tip) on lunch, then this is your spot. For me, I'll take my business elsewhere.

    I wasn't sure what to make of this place from what I'd read online, but I was in Abilene for a…read morewhile and the Friday gathering at my event clearly didn't have the kind of food that I'd consider "dinner", so I made my way over to this place down the road for a proper meal. I've seen more than a few places of this sort, most notably the Fuddrucker's chain in Houston. A predominantly burger menu with other options, sides, milkshakes, desserts, etc. where you order your meal at a counter, fill up your drink at a station, and sit at big wooden tables, and run your little buzzer back to pick up your food. They have a great vibe that really seems to fit the area, and it looked like there was a playground area where families could bring their kids for a good time. Prices are a bit higher than I'd like-- it cost me almost $18 for a burger, a side, and a drink-- but it was still worth a visit. The only reason that I didn't give them the full five stars is that the service was a bit slow. I was waiting surprisingly long for a burger considering how fast some other orders came out, and it took a while to track someone down to get a to go box for my leftover side.

I ordered the onion rings, the whole reason I came here, and they were made just like my favorite hotdog spot back home in NY. There are so many burgers to choose from, and I'll 100% be back to try the mushroom Swiss next. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our trays were picked up right away to give us more space, and someone was cleaning tables quickly after other guests finished their meals. Everything felt clean and well taken care of. I'm really glad I finally came here and I'll definitely be back.

Located on the second story of a beautiful building in downtown Abilene sits Grain Theory, a brewpub and coffee shop towering over the city. It is a mixed indoor-outdoor space with plenty of shaded outdoor and cooled indoor seating. Looking at their tap list, my girlfriend and I were impressed by their unique beers to try. I started with the Strawberry Peach Tonic (Fruited Hard Seltzer) and she had a Bella Rose (Rosé IPA). Both were served in cool glasses, with mine being tall and skinny and hers being almost like a wine glass. Shocking to nobody, mine was quite fruity while her Rosé IPA was hoppy with an underlying rosé flavor. Next, I ordered their Oktoberfest (German Märzen) and she had their Season's End (Belgian Dubbel). She described her drink as tasting like a Biscoff cookie. My Oktoberfest was quite malty, and I was a big fan. To close, we both ordered their Luscent (Belgian Table Beer) because small beers are back in fashion and I wanted to try it. It was obviously very light but still had a good flavor that was very bready. Nice and easy to close out our drinks with. They also have food and coffee that we didn't try, but the food looked sensational from what we saw others eating. They also have plenty of board games and card games to play while you're at the brewery and many beers available to take to-go. My only minor complaint is the lack of TVs in the brewery. Maybe it's a purposeful decision, but Texas Tech was playing football, and it would be a great place to watch the game. The bartenders are very friendly and willing to let you try and sample as many beers as you need to make your decision. Grain Theory feels like the kind of place every small Texas city wishes it had. I am very excited to come back here and try more beers, especially with how excellent the space is. RIYL: Cool-shaped beer glasses or a rooftop bar

We also had the Wayfinder beer and a double express (yes, I had both). The fries were perfectly balanced with a touch of heat and a hint of blue cheese flavor. With the Wayfinder Pilsner, it was AMAZING! The bratwurst was traditional in its meat, with sweetness added to the onions. Mustard was mild but added the right amount of flavor. Altogether, I would eat here once a week if I lived in the community. Delicious and highly recommended!
