    Gloria's Grill is an Old Fashioned downtown lunch spot. A quaint little restaurant. A very friendly staff and really good food

    Cheeseburger Combo

    I don't know what they use to season this burger but whatever it is, is absolutely magical!! Don't let the looks of place fool you they have the BEST burger in town! Prices are great and the service is always super friendly. If you haven't been here before you really need to find the time to try their food, you will not be disappointed.

    This is my update, I hate having to do bad reviews, but that's life... First, I walked in the door and was blasted in the face with a heat that was greater than outside the establishment. (Was a balmy 80f on that afternoon.) They either had the AC shut off, or it was broken and in need of repair, either way, that was my first impression. But, the place had about 20 people eating at the tables, so I fought my instincts and made my way too a table. (This is when things got worse, let me explain in greater detail...) I made my way too a table, because I did not see any signs saying "please wait to be seated", so I sat down, and waited for about 20 minutes, as a server passed me on many occasions, I figured she was just really busy and didn't want to get sidetracked.. BUT, then I saw a party of four, enter the door, and head straight to the counter in back, I figured they were grabbing food to go. NO, apparently in this place, you head to the counter, make your order, then pay, and find a seat. There are no signs that I noticed, saying such, and the waitress didn't bother telling me....for 20 minutes..a kind lady at the booth across from me verified my suspicions about this entire ordeal, and how I had screwed up. Anyways, I got up and ordered my burger and onion rings. I ate them. I left. (Yes, this is my way of politely leaving a bad food review) I have a feeling the positive reviews are by people who work here. Anyways, lesson learned. 2 stars are only because the girl at the counter was very polite and friendly with me. I just realized I was so unhappy with my ordeal, I didn't get any photos to post. Anyways, on to the next stop...

    Do the lack of reviews cause you to wonder?? It is because they have a steady stream of locals who make eating here a part of their life and haven't thought to share--maybe on purpose!?!? This is a hole in the wall hamburger joint across from the Taylor County Courthouse. It has a great reputation around town and has recently expanded its hours to evenings. Check and see because I think the days very. But they're open for lunch regularly. And it is a great lunch. Limited menu burgers, fries, some sandwiches, onion rings, etc. The service is quick. You order at the counter and self-serve your drink. The patty melt is amazing and the hamburgers are it only flavorful but generous with their meat. The onion rings are perfectly crunchy without being greasy and falling apart. I highly recommend it. I went with a group of coworkers with every person enjoyed what they had and spoke about coming back. It is a jewel in our community.

    Best grilled cheese

    Excellent grilled cheese and onion rings! Burger is very good also. The only thing preventing 5 stars is the price. $8.34 for grilled cheese combo with rings, $7.31 for grilled cheese combo with fries, and $10.00 for cheeseburger combo with fries. Update: Came back for another grilled cheese. They are crispy and buttery and perfect. Although it seems expensive for a grilled cheese, I enjoyed this sandwich more than many dishes I've paid much more for.

    Great old fashioned burger. They have a following from a ton of regulars but at the same time make new customers feel welcomed.

    BEST CHEESE BURGER IN ABILENE! Give them a try, you won't regret it. $10 gets you a cheeseburger, fries, and drink. So so so worth it.

The seat was dry. There was plenty of toilet paper. The latch on the stall worked perfectly. At that point, I realized I had found a five-star bathroom. So I sat there a little longer to enjoy the peace and quiet and because apparently this was the only place in town where nobody needed anything from me. While contemplating life, I noticed writing on the stall wall, it said, "If you want the job done right, call Martha." I thought, Well, Martha sounds confident. So I thought I'd give her a call. Turns out it wasn't Martha. It was Bob's Construction. So I gave this place 4 stars. They need to occasionally confirm the numbers on the wall.

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.
