    Grilled salmon on the brussel sprout kale salad.
    Stephanie R H.

    Dropped into the bar and met a gal pal for a quick meal and a long overdue visit. We both ordered drinks from the bar (Michelob Ultra / Tito's Chilton) - Serving portion was perfect and the waitress helpful but not hovering. We ate through the delicious basket of bread and butter. She ordered the soup of the day (carne asada soup) and a wedge salad with extra blue cheese. I ordered the salmon brussel sprout kale salad. When the lunch came - she also brought another basket of BREAD! The corner table was a perfect place to be able to talk but also survey the room. We will definitely be back!

    Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers
    Kris U.

    | Food | 5 stars - The complimentary warm, crusty bread and creamy butter was a great start to our meal. 5 stars - The Goat Cheese Jalapeño Poppers are absolutely irresistible -- stuffed with rich, creamy goat cheese, crispy bacon crumbles, and just the right kick of jalapeño. Drizzled with a silky avocado ranch dressing and topped with fresh chives, they strike the perfect balance of heat, tang, and indulgence. 5 stars - The Carbonara pasta is comfort on a plate. Tossed in a velvety sauce with just the right amount of richness. Topped with crispy, golden fried chicken that's perfectly tender inside, each bite is satisfying. 4 stars - The grilled Caesar salad was nearly spot-on -- the charred romaine added a wonderful smoky depth, perfectly paired with classic Caesar dressing and generous shavings of Parmesan. The only thing missing are some anchovies on top. | Drinks | We all enjoyed the Spicy Pineappletini cocktail, so much so, we each had a couple! It was perfectly blended with subtle spice and a nice hint of sweet pineapple flavor. You can tell they use fresh lime juice. Perfection with the tajin rim. | Atmosphere | I loved the "vintage Texas" decor and atmosphere. The main dining room is gorgeous with massive furniture, wrought iron lighting fixtures, floral arrangements, and elaborate taxidermy on the walls. Pro Tip: the golden "taxidermy" figures in the hallway against the dynamic wallpaper makes for a great photo backdrop. | Service | Our server, Courtney, is all heart, all hospitality--and straight outta Texas. Seriously, she is one of the best servers I've ever experienced. She provided flawless and efficient service. We never wanted for anything - our water glasses were magically filled we needed, plates promptly taken away when finished, and somehow she appeared with perfect timing for us to order more cocktails. She knew the menu very well and made excellent suggestions. It's like she could read our minds at times, for example with splitting the check she knew exactly how to handle it for our party.

    Calamari & Cactus
    Kimberly C.

    We have lived here 3.5 years and have never been to this restaurant. WOW!!! We decided to make a reservation for NYE. So glad we did. I am also very glad we dressed up. What a classy establishment! We arrived 45 mins early and thought we would just go to the bar and have a drink while we waited. The bar top was full. We were able to order a drink and after a few minutes we were able to sit down. Such great atmosphere. They were able to get us seated 10 minutes early which was great. We had a nice little table for two. There was so many things we wanted to try off the menu. Too bad they don't do a sampler plate of all the things. I normally do not order soup but all the reviews said it was a must try. Boy were they correct! The lobster bisque had huge chunks of lobster meat and the soup was so creamy with a great flavor. We also started off with the calamari and cactus. It had a little bit of a spicy kick which was wonderful. I was intrigued by the blackened red fish so that is what I got. It came with wild rice and the fish had crawfish and crab meat on it as well. It was a very flaky white fish that had an amazing flavor. I also tried a side of jalapeno grits. They were sooo good. My wife got the ribeye steak that came with a loaded baked potato. The steak had a great flavor and was cooked perfectly as medium rare. Our waiter was Logan. He was fantastic. He was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. I am sorry we waited so long to find this little gem. We will definitely be back.

    Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers Lunch
    Kevin L.

    Came here for a late lunch on Easter Sunday and glad that we did. We started off with the goat cheese jalapeño poppers. Now I am not a fan of goat cheese but these were incredible! Absolutely incredible! As for the entrees, my wife had the chop steak which had great flavor while I had the chicken fried chicken, which was cooked perfectly. Their gravy that I smothered all over it was also excellent. As for the desserts, the carrot cake was just mediocre. Felt that it was too dense, could have done without the raisins and added more frosting. However, their specialty dessert was off the charts good. It came out smoking from the dried ice. My body reminded me Sunday night and most of Monday why I shouldn't eat spicy food, but I would gladly suffer the consequences to have those jalapeño poppers again. Look forward to going back and trying more stuff next time we are in town.

    Beautifully cooked prime rib in an authentic rustic ambience.  The lobster bisque was delicious! Highly recommend.
    James H.

    The Cooper Creek is an authentic rustic restaurant with charming ambience. The prime rib was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The lobster bisque was delicious and we'll balanced. I highly recommend!

They play mainly country music, which I'm personally not a huge fan of; but they do mix it up with hip hop. Most of the people dress in modern western wear, but there are plenty of people who wear their club outfit; country western outfits are not required. Most of the girls here prefer to dance. If you go here, I suggest you learn how to two-step (a girl who frequents here taught me how - it's easy). Thursday night is "College Night," which attracts a large crowd. I've been on Wednesday nights and was not impressed. Friday nights are really good, and of course Saturday nights are hoppin'. There's a large billiard room that usually has open tables to play on. The tables are all 6 Feet standard quarter operated bar tables, and the cues all suck. Pool players: hustle here, don't expect a quality game. Really, if country music isn't your thing, don't worry about it; just go and have fun. It's a great place with cheap drinks, very good bartenders, and little drama. I'll keep going back.

The interior is that frigid, lifeless faux fancy industrial aesthetic that chills your senses and has no character of its own. The menu is what you expect. Nothing special or original just benign takes on traditional fare, like Blackened Ribeyes. We were In Abilene because my family gathered to watch my nephew's football debut at Hardin-Simmons University. My wife ordered the Caesar Salad and Truffle fries. The salad was limp, and the dressing was tangy like it was mixed with Dijon mustard Her Truffle Fries had an okay flavor. The dipping sauces were good but nothing great but the nail in the coffin was the fries were cold. Not cold as in sitting in the warmer cold, we're talking OUT ON THE COUNTER FOR 10 MINUTES OR MORE COLD!! I got the Waygu Smash burger. The burger patties, pickles, and everything inside were good but it was served on a fancy bun that was also cold. Not sitting on the counter for 10 minutes cold, we're talking RIGHT OUT OF THE FRIDGE COLD. Fancy buns should be lightly toasted to make the dense bread bearable. It totally failed my bun to juiciness ratio, and to top it off my fries were also COLD. My daughter got the Ahi Tuna Ponzo. I didn't taste it because I was busy eating my cold bun, cold fries. Plus my wife's Dijon Caesar Salad because she despises mustard. But she seemed to like it, that's why this review is three stars instead of two. She said it was "Slightly nutty and the vinaigrette is sharp and fresh without being overwhelming the tuna is seasoned nicely and it's a fatty cut not fishy at all." Listen, you could say "if it's cold send it back. Make them fix it." But the truth is that it doesn't matter. They sent out two batches of cold truffle fries (my brother in law also ordered some), my cold fries, a fancy bun that was right out of the fridge, and Caesar dressing spiked with Dijon mustard. Sending it back just would have made the experience worse, like being in a chilly hell where all the heat has been stolen so all food is served COLD.

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 deviled wggs (satan's huevos) were good, and spicy because we chose the "hellfire" option. The burger was huge!
