RUN! DO NOT WALK! RUN!…read more The first time I tried this place at approximately 5:30pm on Wednesday 3/25/26 I got some of the worst food poisoning of my life! It took about two hours to set in and boy did it set in hard! I literally had to vomit my guts up because the food just did not sit right and may have been bad in one way or another! For reference I got a regular plate with ribs and jalapeño cheese sausage with jalapeño corn and pinto beans on the side. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Steer clear of this place like the plague if you know what is good for you! I wish I would have read the reviews prior to eating this food! The sad part is that it actually tasted pretty good, but you can't argue with food poisoning! Forgive my long winded review, but I literally just got done expelling this vile mess from what felt like the depths of my soul while having an utterly debilitating stomach and headache in the process! Please for the love of God do yourself a favor and don't ever think about eating any food from this place!

It's a drive from Roanoke, but wanted to take a day trip west and enjoy some good West Texas food…read more We made our way to Baird and Circa 1880. We stopped for a great mid-day lunch. Food was good, portions were generous and the atmosphere was a fun step back in time. It was very busy for a 2pm on a Saturday. We had the Jalapeño Poppers, Chicken Tenders and the Onion Rings. All was very good!

Used to eat at this restaurant on a regular basis it was always delicious and always enjoyed it…read morebut. Yelp says it's open. I call them and they get a message drive all the way out there and it's locked up tight.. it doesn't matter what day of the week or what hour it is there's no one there. Moral of the story is don't believe everything yelp says I seriously doubt they've ever even been there. There are no hours listed on the door. If anyone else finds out it is open, please post.

Absolutely some of the best BBQ I've had in ages - and I'm a bbq snob from Kansas City!…read more We had the sampler (brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and one each of the mild and spicy sausages). I fully expected that one or two of the meats would be good and the rest just passable. I was wrong. Every single bite was spectacular. We also had the brisket and queso chips and pig candy - both were really tasty; the chips especially were very fresh and sprinkled with just a touch of bbq rub. We arrived a few minutes before they opened on a warm Saturday and the wait was about 75 minutes or so. Definitely worth standing in line for. There's ample outdoor (but covered) seating and plenty of good music playing, plus cornhole games if you're feeling competitive. Jays will be our go-to for BBQ the next time we're in Abilene! PS - if it's still available when you go, be sure to try the cherry chipotle sauce - it's amazing!

Driving around Texas eating BBQ that made the Texas Monthly Top 50 list so we had to stop at Jay's…read moreBBQ Shack. This is a food truck so all sitting is outside. They do have restrooms so that's nice. The line gets long and they are slow in taking orders and getting the food out. We arrived around 11:15 on a Friday and the line was already long so we decided we would order to go as we need to get to Lubbock before 3:00pm. We ordered the Texas Trinity to go. This place has charm and lots of stuff to look at while waiting in the long slow line. You can go up and order beer to drink in line but my thought is that the beer is over price. Some places have free beer or free water while you wait outside in the Texas heat, not here. So the food we got made it all the way back to eat in Houston on Sunday when we got back. The true test of good BBQ is how it taste when you reheat it, all the food was good but the brisket was a bit dry 8/10, the sausage was nice 9/10 and the pork rib was good 9/10. I recommend you try Jays BBQ when in the city of Abilene, Texas

Wow, this place really impressed us. Trendy design and great food -- I spent 10 years in Abilene…read moreback in the 80s, and a spot like the Cork & Pig was not what I expected to find here. My wife had the asian salad, and she says it was the best she'd ever had. I had the fish tacos with mac and cheese, and both were unusually flavorful and had a great texture (I rarely eat much mac and cheese, but I finished all of this). Service was good, friendly and helpful. I appreciated the decor and general vibe of the place, inside and out, including the music. My only quibble might be that parking was a bit tighter than expected, but not a problem. Great place overall, and we were discussing how we might find an excuse to return, plus wishing a branch would open closer to Houston.

I always forget pics b/c it's so tasty!…read more The steak salad is 100% fantastic- the dressing in the salad is the right kind of sweet and tart and the steak is cooked to perfection and flavorful. We ended up ordering a set of the deviled eggs (as dessert? ) because the one that came with our entree was so good (and the salad was a bit smaller than expected). Overall, good service, GREAT food. Worth the detour on our trip thru.

This place is so random yet awesome! Leave it to Texas to have a drive thru beer place that sells…read moreBBQ. Drove from Abilene after getting a recommendation from a neighbor. It definitely did not disappoint! Ordered a Brisket Sandwich and 10 wings with Sweet Chilli Sauce. The Brisket sandwich was on point with what a Texas Brisket Sandwich should be. The bun was awesome and I had them put onions and pickles on it. The wings were good but on the small side. The flavor was excellent and they were crispy enough. I wish the wings were a little bigger or should I say meatier. Regardless of that I would still trek out here to this fine random establishment. Now I know why they had a line of 8 cars when I pulled it.

I was told about this place by a friend... I have to say I was hesitant at first but I am so glad…read morewe took the trip to try this place out! We got the sweet chilli, buffalo, and the mango habanero wings. All were delicious!! We also got the 1 meat plate, (Brisket) with potato salad and fried okra.. All very delicious. I will definitely be coming back here again!

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.

I left Perini Ranch Steakhouse disappointed, especially given all the hype and glowing reviews…read more We were seated outside at 5 PM when it was about 95 degrees. The outdoor seating consisted of old wooden tables and benches that were uncomfortable, and the heat alone made it difficult to enjoy the meal. To make matters worse, we spent the entire dinner fighting flies. The steaks were around $50 each, and honestly, they were underwhelming. They lacked seasoning and flavor, especially for the price point. I've had better-seasoned steaks at Texas Roadhouse and Outback for roughly half the cost. The sides were equally disappointing: bland, uninspired, and forgettable. The bread pudding was decent and was probably the best part of the meal. Overall, the combination of uncomfortable outdoor seating, excessive heat, flies, and mediocre food made for a frustrating experience. I had heard so many great things about Perini Ranch Steakhouse and expected something special, but it simply didn't live up to the reputation.

Five stars isn't enough for this place first of all right when you drive up, you could smell that…read moregreat smoked aroma from the delicious selections of meat that are made to perfection. The customer service and the hospitality are worthy of a five star restaurant the food I can't even begin to explain the taste Bud sensations that are going crazy in my mouth. I got the cowboy platter and oh my God, there was so much food. I could've ate off that for a week the side dishes are on another level. My favorite has to be the cornbread, followed by the pineapple casserole. I had to come all the way from Los Angeles to find the best barbecue and I'm sure glad I did. Do not miss out on this place. It will definitely be number one on your list.

I'm from San Diego and visited family at Abilene. I of course requested Texas Barbecue. So they…read moretook me here for lunch at Crane's Craft which was at a dance hall. I liked the stage and wished they had a band playing and I'd definitely line dance . We decided to order brisket, sausage, corn bread, Mac and cheese and hominy. They had 2 kinds of sauces available so we tried both and they were both great. The staff taking orders were all nice too. We really enjoyed the meal, I liked everything they served and the best one was the corn bread! So delicious...I especially loved the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. Wish I could be back but this was probably my last trip to Abilene since family will relocate to another State.

I have been eating at Sharon's since she and Joe Allen opened their first place on South Treadway…read more I cannot tell you how many feet of ribeye steaks I have eaten. Remember when you could order your steak by how thick you wanted it cut. I have often wished Cahoots would come back, they had the best catfish and shrimp. I know times are tough but charging me $1.80 for a small cup of water is way way over the top. It will be a long long time before I return to ANY of Sharon's restaurants
