    Great burgers, great atmosphere and great service. Who wouldn't want to stop, eat great food and take a picture of the grumps. Send it to that grumpy old person in your life.

    Bacon cheeseburger and spicy fries

    If you ace a no-frills burger, you deserve every good thing that comes your way. I live 3.5 hours away from Abilene and was literally passing through just to transport a dog to their new home and then drive back to DFW. I needed fuel for the long trek back and thought this place looked pretty good. I am now trying to see if it would be crazy to make the drive again literally just for this burger. The place was packed at lunch time on a Saturday. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and spicy fries. I waited 30 minutes and started to get kind of annoyed it was taking so long but I take EVERY BAD THOUGHT back as soon as I tasted the food. The burger was delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and it didn't leave me feeling gross and greasy like burgers tend to do. The "spicy" in the fries just means they're seasoned to the max with peppers. They also were extremely fresh, perfectly crisp, and I left no crumbs while I took my time enjoying them. If you live nearby and haven't been here, you are doing yourself a disservice.

    Great burgers and awesome atmosphere! The dublin drinks were a nice treat. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We are even toying with the idea of franchising we loved it so much!

    Went back to Grumps with a friend from Huntsville. We told her she needed the experience. Lol we ordered southern slush and fried pickles and then got a bacon cheeseburger ... yes there was 2 slices of bacon this time and dirty fries with queso and chips. She could not quit talking about it. Y'all were spot on today!!!!! She said she was glad there were no grumps around her because she would gain 20 pounds lol. Good job grumps. I knew you had it in you!!!

    I've eaten at Jersey Mikes Subs in the Dallas area, but this is my first time at the Abilene store…read more Jersey Mike's is definitely one of the better sandwich shops. The special they are running right now is the #2 sub, chips, and drink for $10.99. An excellent sub and an excellent value. The Abilene store is quite small, so the seating area is very crowded. You are definitely back to back with the next table, so getting it to go might be a better idea. Again, great food and I'm glad they finally made it to Abilene.

    No. Just... no. They…read morehave maybe a quarter of the toppings every other sub place offers. No pepper jack, no black olives, no cucumbers. Basically, "choose your adventure," except all the adventures are sad. And then the prep? They build your sandwich directly on a cutting board. A dirty, scraped-off-between-subs cutting board. Everyone else uses paper to avoid cross-contamination. Not here. They scrape, shrug, and start again. This place is DEFINITELY NOT SAFE for anyone with food allergies or sensitivities! They also drench the previous sandwich in vinegar, scrape the board like they're mad at it, and then slap your bread down right on the damp battlefield. Mine tasted like vinegar even though he didn't put any on it. Couldn't have onions, yet the sub made right before mine had a mountain of them... and that mess became my sandwich's foundation. And the price? Twenty bucks. For a "Giant" which was just everyone else's foot long or regular. My coupons are going in the trash, and I am never going back.

The vibes were immaculate from the stunning decor to the chill music, it was giving Sunday afternoon on a Friday at 10:00 am. Chef Alex let me sample the Lemon Basil Chicken Salad which was truly elevated and delicious. (Best I've ever had, by a landslide) so I had to order it on the crescent. I also had the Italiano Panini which was an explosion of flavor! It paired perfectly with the cold pasta salad which effortlessly balances flavors of harissa, black olive, and sweet cherry tomatoes with just enough hint of spice to awaken the senses and make you crave more. Chef Alex does not miss! Believe it or not, the most amazing thing about this place is not the ambiance or the food. What drew me in and will keep me coming back over and over again is the fact that the owners Chef Alex and his wife April have captured the feeling you get when visiting a small family owned restaurant in Italy. The personal service, charismatic interaction with the chef, and a sense of the passion they bring to every detail of your experience! Especially the food. They are genuine and hard working and deserve all the success in the world!

    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.
