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

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.

Oh man, THANK YOU YELP for this amazing find!…read more My buddy and I were flying back home cross-country, and we stopped in Abilene Airport specifically to find someplace for lunch. A quick Yelp review led us to Sharon's and man am I glad we ate here! The food is self-serve cafeteria style, except for ordering the meat (you ask someone behind the counter for what you want). Keep an eye out for the cornbread warmers next to the soda dispenser as you enter the main dining area! Sharon's is Texas BBQ at its best. The ribs I got were second-to-none, and all the sides were picnic perfection! I still have dreams about this food, and can't wait to stop here again for lunch.

Two foodies from Houston,…read more On a road trip, we decided to try Abilene BBQ. The outside and inside are both clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and greeted us at the door. We ordered two 2 meat plates with sides. Order 1: rib and brisket with green beans and macaroni salad with jalapeño corn bread. Order 2: brisket and grilled chicken with pinto beans and potato salad. Unfortunately, the food was not to our likening. The green beans taste like they were from a can and macaroni salad didn't taste fresh, it tasted like refrigerator. Potato salad was whipped and pinto beans had an odd taste, couldn't make it out. Rob had too much black pepper and the other meats really didn't have a good smoke flavor. No comment on the BBQ sauce. With two drinks, we paid about $50.00 If you enjoy meats that don't have a Smokey flavor, this may be to your place. As we like to say, give it a try for yourselves since we all have different tastes buds.

Last time through, I ordered 2 lbs of chopped beef and told her a pint of bbq sauce. When i looked at my ticket, they charged for the pint of sauce and my normal free sauce wasn't included. Today, I ordered 4 lbs of meet at 1:33 and it took 20 minutes with a line of cars behind me. I had already waited in line for maybe 10 minutes. It was 11:33 and they open at 11:00 and they were already out of chicken. So, they ask if i want pickle and onions and I said yes. Finally got home and opened the bag and no pickle and onions. I opened the chopped beef and these globs of fat were laying right on top. Don't have high hopes for the rest of it. Their "pulled pork" is actually shredded, heavily sauced with something and has a real wanky taste. It will hit the trash.

The bun is grilled to perfection, the sauce is tasty, the cheese melted perfectly, and the flavor of the burger is to die for. Those chips were pretty freaking good too. My husband and I split one because we've been dieting. I was really really sad I was a good girl and split. Afford yourself your own. You will not be disappointed. Our food also came out very quickly. The only thing we are disappointed in is we can't find him again tonight. I believe days and times are pretty limited.
