We were running late for our reservation and the cashier was not friendly or accommodating. I asked about a few menu items and she was short with me. Another person was kind enough to check if they were still making food. They should invest in something to help keep the flies away from your food. It's summer so the it's hard to manage but it is necessary because my husband had to swallow his food to avoid them and I was swatting flies the entire meal. The ambiance is nice and relaxing otherwise.

Perini Ranch Steakhouse is outstanding!…read more The 16-ounce ribeye was excellent. The beef quality was superb--thick-cut, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned without overpowering its natural flavor. While the edges were cooked slightly beyond medium due to the uneven cut, that's a very minor critique. The grilled asparagus was delicious, and the green chile hominy was absolutely amazing. Overall, I would give Perini Ranch Steakhouse a 98 out of 100. The food, atmosphere, and quality were exceptional, making it one of the best of the steakhouses I've experienced.

Underwhelmed. For…read moreall the glowing reviews, the food was just ok. My husband and I shared a house salad, burger, and strawberry shortcake. We took the onions and cucumbers off our salad due to dietary issues and that left us with lettuce, mushrooms, and dressing. Our burger was the best part. It was cooked well, and the bun was soft. The strawberry shortcake was disappointing. The fruit was stewed and the biscuits were hard with just room temp heavy cream to offset the temperature of the fruit. For ambiance, it was nothing to write home about. Very busy and very loud, but it was a Saturday evening so that was to be expected. What I didn't expect was the lack of air conditioning in July. It was over 100 degrees that day, and it was cooler outside. Unacceptable for Texas in July when you're seating tables 3' from each other. Our server was good. She was attentive, and kept our water glasses filled. We may try again once the weather cools down.

The owner said she knows it sounds scary, but I needed to try it. I'm so glad I did. It was a taste sensation! I paired that with their rosemary and olive oil chips in a bag and was in heaven. And I had it on Gluten Free bread, which was yummy, too. They cater to people with gluten or dairy intolerance. Even the pickle was gourmet! The tomato basil soup is super creamy and delicious, as well. I've also tried their coconut matcha green tea with almond milk at the suggestion of the barista and was thrilled. Don't be put off by the color! The ambiance is lovely here. You'll come back again and again!

The interior is inviting as the show somebody has put thought into these chains and they help keep is pretty much standard cleanliness. Nothing to take away from here. Parking is shared with several businesses so it can be testy at times but walk just a little bit further and you'll surely be able to find something. Around one side I believe you can view the little water upon but it's $190° outside so I'm not recommended at this moment. I had the pizza and the devil eggs which or on par nothing to take away from nothing to add I would say everything on his mind you would be worth trying. The big takeaway.... I've been here two times and each time I could see the bartenders struggling but not because of their fault but because I guess management is busy cutting corners for labor because maybe somebody up on the ladder is looking at that shiny penny twiddling in her fingers at the light. Get you a bar back and stop pinching on the service you are hurting your output! The bartenders are very efficient but they are not machines. They need a little relief. Hire/SCHEDULE A BAR BACK for Pete's sake. Other than that, everything I would say characteristically is very good. Visit on a Sunday 8/2026

The last stop during my Abilene day trip was the wood-fire pizzeria Vagabond. We arrived at…read moreVagabond exactly at 6:00 pm, impressed by their cork decor outside the shop. We were immediately greeted by the server and seated just as quickly. The place was pretty busy, as one would expect on a Saturday at 6 pm, so it was great to be seated right away. The table was already set with two water cups, two plates, two sets of silverware, and two napkins, so we didn't have to set the area ourselves. Our server came shortly after with a large glass bottle of water and took our drink orders. My girlfriend got a bottled Dr. Pepper while I stuck to water. I also noticed they serve plenty of wines as well as a good selection of craft beers. They have ten different specialty pizzas, and we settled on their most expensive: the Carnivore. I say most expensive, but it was $20 for a pizza that fed two. It took about 10-15 minutes before the pizza came out, which is impressively fast. All pizzas are about 12 inches and are sliced into sixes. If you're hungry, consider an appetizer or a dessert, but to us, it was a perfect size with plenty of meat. The crust is thin and crispy, as one would expect from a wood-fire pizza. It was really excellent. For dessert, my girlfriend and I ordered their Saturday Morning Cartoons, which is a panna cotta with Fruity Pebbles that I enjoyed but she adored (I let her eat most of it). All in all, the meal was around $30 plus the tip I added. We were in and out in under 40 minutes, which was quite impressive for a sit-down pizza restaurant. I highly recommend this to anyone living in or visiting Abilene. P.S. My girlfriend wanted my Yelp review to note that their women's bathroom has hair ties, bobby pins, a Tide pen, and other items that you never know you'll need until you do, which gives Vagabond extra brownie points for going above and beyond. RIYL: An affordable meal for two.
