    El caldo de rez is NOT supposed to have green beans in it, but at at El Monterrey it does. Really gross tasting too.

    So, I have already had one review here. After being in Abilene for about 6 months, and coming to…read moreGrain Theory (almost daily) during that time, I finally tried the Brewhouse Burger. OMG, as an "Old Fay Guy" who has had more than his fair share of burgers, this is by far one of, if not the best, burger I have ever had. Shout out to Chef Rob and the kitchen staff. This burger will stand up (surpass) a burger from anyplace around.

    I will forever be amazed by cool places, especially when they appear in unexpected cities like…read moreAbilene. Located on the second story of a beautiful building in downtown Abilene sits Grain Theory, a brewpub and coffee shop towering over the city. It is a mixed indoor-outdoor space with plenty of shaded outdoor and cooled indoor seating. Looking at their tap list, my girlfriend and I were impressed by their unique beers to try. I started with the Strawberry Peach Tonic (Fruited Hard Seltzer) and she had a Bella Rose (Rosé IPA). Both were served in cool glasses, with mine being tall and skinny and hers being almost like a wine glass. Shocking to nobody, mine was quite fruity while her Rosé IPA was hoppy with an underlying rosé flavor. Next, I ordered their Oktoberfest (German Märzen) and she had their Season's End (Belgian Dubbel). She described her drink as tasting like a Biscoff cookie. My Oktoberfest was quite malty, and I was a big fan. To close, we both ordered their Luscent (Belgian Table Beer) because small beers are back in fashion and I wanted to try it. It was obviously very light but still had a good flavor that was very bready. Nice and easy to close out our drinks with. They also have food and coffee that we didn't try, but the food looked sensational from what we saw others eating. They also have plenty of board games and card games to play while you're at the brewery and many beers available to take to-go. My only minor complaint is the lack of TVs in the brewery. Maybe it's a purposeful decision, but Texas Tech was playing football, and it would be a great place to watch the game. The bartenders are very friendly and willing to let you try and sample as many beers as you need to make your decision. Grain Theory feels like the kind of place every small Texas city wishes it had. I am very excited to come back here and try more beers, especially with how excellent the space is. RIYL: Cool-shaped beer glasses or a rooftop bar

    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.

    We arrived at around 6:30 on a Saturday and were seated just a little after 7:00, which I thought…read morewas pretty good. I did later notice 9 empty tables and people still waiting, so something didn't add up unless they were hurting for employees. Wasn't my business and we were there to enjoy a meal with our youngest granddaughter. Our server was at the table in a reasonable amount of time and we placed drink orders. Their drink came very quickly and they brought a water since my margarita wasn't ready yet. We ordered some queso to enjoy with the chips and salsa. It came out after a bit and we were having a good visit. The server came back by and refilled our granddaughter's drink. After a bit we had eaten most of the chips and still no margarita. I mentioned it and she refilled the chips and said she would check on the drink. It finally came maybe 5 minutes later, shortly before our food started coming out. Margaritas aren't like red wine. The glass out to be filled to just below the salt and not an inch below the rim. But, it was at least finally there. My wife's fajitas were there, our granddaughter's burrito was there, my rice and beans were there - but my quesadilla wasn't, so i mentioned it to the person that had brought our food. She acknowledged that and left. Everyone else was finished with their food and I had finished most of my rice and beans before I could flag down our server and mention that they had not brought my meal and I had mentioned it when they brought everyone else's food. She acted a bit surprised almost like she didnt remember me even ordering, but clearly my rice and beans were there, just not the entree. She left and didn't come back to update us at all until she showed up with a plate of something - not a quesadilla. It was poorly made tacos with chicken and a few sprinkles of unmelted cheese. When i mentioned it she claimed that was the way they made their quesadillas. I've had the chicken fajita quesadillas at Chuy's before and that's not the way they were made. If they had bern, then I certainly would not have ordered them again. This Chuy's is relatively new, but they have been open more than long enough to have their act together. This is very disappointing service and even more disappointing food. My assessment of this Chuy's and of Chuy's in general are that they are pretty much hit and miss. You might have a great visit, then a couple bad visits. That's not a way to build a successful business. Chuy's was recently bought by Darden Restaurants. They need to figure it out pretty quickly or Darden will close their doors. I hope they get it together; but i will likely be without my business.
