However let me say that I came in on a Saturday and after I placed the order, I was expecting to pay. The young guy told me that he would take my payment after he got me fed. Let me say that him telling me that blew my mind. That's what you call great service. Just by that act alone I will return. I had the brisket with two side ribs, beans and potato salad. The food was really good and flavorful. You can tell this place has been here a long while. Ack to the service. I absolutely love this place and their hospitality. I can't say enough about how well I was treated. Again the food was delicious but man they should be proud on service.

I usually think the smaller, hole-in-the-wall places have the best food, but this place proved me wrong. The staff at The Shed were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Portions were generous, and everything tasted amazing. The brisket, in particular, stood out--it was moist, tender, and easily one of the best I've ever had. I even spoke with the manager to share how impressed I was, and he went above and beyond by taking me back to see the smokers. That really showed their pride in what they do. I can't say enough great things about The Shed Market--I just can't wait for my next trip back to Texas. Hope to add photos soon

From the moment you arrive, it feels like you're out in the middle of nowhere--in the best way possible. The rustic atmosphere is incredible, and on the cool day we visited, they had a wood-burning fireplace going right in the middle of the dining room. It made the whole experience feel cozy and authentic. What really stood out, though, was the people. The service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. I even had the chance to chat with a woman who's been working there for over 20 years--she shared some of the restaurant's history and how it's evolved over time, which made the visit even more special. For food, we started with the fried quail legs--perfectly cooked and seriously delicious (we could've easily eaten more). For the main course, I had the ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was spot on--full of flavor and didn't need a thing added. My wife went with the hamburger steak and loved it as well. Great food, even better people, and an atmosphere that's hard to beat. We'll definitely be back.

The ambience is fine; sortuv a rustic cabin feel. We've had great service the two times we went, and the table bread is wonderful. Not impressed with the thick, (cooked?) carpaccio or the overcooked brussel sprouts. Compared to the USA, it's a 3/5. But in Abilene? Maybe a 4/5.

The only smoke we saw and smelled came from the bar attached to the dining room. The brisket, truthfully looked like it was boiled instead of grilled.. No barbecue sauce in the world could overcome that. Buffalo Gap is a quaint and neat town. This place could be awesome. They can and should be better. Disclaimer.. We visited on New Years day. Maybe they took shortcuts on prep..

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!

Whether you are a fourth generation Texan or just passing through the Lone Star State, The Ball…read moreRanch is a very fun way to spend an evening out with friends or family. It is "toe-tapping, Western-swing at its finest!" The venue is a short drive outside of Abilene (less than 8 miles) and seats more than 200 people and can easily accommodate families, friends, anniversary parties or birthday parties. And even on the hottest days in Texas, the temperature in the venue (a new, modern barn) is very pleasant. The evening includes a home-cooked BBQ dinner (usually brisket, sausage, chicken, "tater salad" and beans, followed by homemade peach cobbler) cooked by the members of the Ball Family. Following dinner you will be entertained with a wonderful live musical performance by Gary and Sue Ball and their youngest daughter, Sherry Ball Luster. By way of background, the Ball Family is a third generation musically blessed family. The entire family sings, plays the guitar and writes many of their own songs. They are just as we say in Texas "good people." So the next time you are looking for a fun way to spend a Saturday evening, be sure to call the Ball Family ... I promise it will be worth your while! As this is the first review on Yelp, you can also view their Website at http://www.theballranch.com/. More pictures and information is available on their site. Have fun, y'all!
