We heard great things about Circle H but what a disappointment! We purchased 2 top sirloin steaks (…read moretotal two pounds ) and they were very tough and had little taste. We ate less than half and threw the remainder away. We also bought some fajita beef so we're hoping it's better or at least good enough to eat all of it. We won't be returning.

Came across this place when I started to take my dog to the dog park across the street. Came here…read moreabout four times (every week since I saw it) now and every time I come, I usually have a really good experience and the quality of meat is always pretty good. I spend almost couple hundred dollars each time I go and this last time I bought a seasoning and when I got home to use it, it was unsealed and the seasoning was pretty hard so I assumed that maybe some moisture got into it. I went back to go see if I can exchange it for a new one and the blonde lady that was working there, not sure if she's the owner or whatever but stared at me as if I was just talking out of my ass, then walked over to the seasonings just to then talk to me like I was stupid and acted like I didn't know what i was talking about or I was lying about it being opened and then tried to convince me that all of the seasonings Are like that. She also said that the lid most likely tore the seal off itself, which that has never happened to me before but either way, the seasoning was hard, and there was no telling how long it had been open on the shelf. Some of them did stick closer to the top, but once you shook it, it all easily broke apart, the one I have is almost completely solid from top to bottom. EITHER WAY, I would've loved a seasoning that was completely sealed when I open it. Instead of just exchanging the $12 seasoning after spending almost $200 there just a couple days before, she gave me a really hard time about it and was super rude and basically told me none of the other seasonings were any better like a "too bad, so sad" attitude. I just said OK and she just walked right back to the front without saying another word to me. Her facial expressions and the way she quickly dismissed me was just so uninviting and disrespectful and me and my toddler just walked out. We won't be going back there. I'll find a new place to get our meat.

I hired Crooked Creek for my wedding of about 60 people based on word of mouth recommendations…read more Brenda was very quick to respond via Facebook and very easy to talk to as well. This was my first time planning an event, and she helped out so much by making the process so smoothly. They were very professional and caring. Prices were also reasonable, and they came all the way down to Lawn for the wedding. This may have been the best BBQ I have ever had. Both nonnative and native Texans were raving about it. HIGHLY recommend the street corn!! We also got brisket and jalepeno sausage with loaded mashed potatos.

I was excited to try this since it comes into my area often. I was really disappointed. They had…read morejust opened and my hubby and I walked over and ordered a pound of moist brisket and large Mac n Cheese. The guy seemed a bit agitated that I asked for a pound. The lady asked if he could do it and he said yeah. The he asked "sliced or chopped " and I said sliced. Well I was unpleasantly surprised to find dry chunk brisket. We probably trashed half. There were so many dry old pieces. So maybe if you stick to the sandwich it's better. As far as the Mac n cheese it was very good, and pulled my score up to a 3.

DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!

A so so experience. When we walked in we were shocked by the amount of people there eating and took…read moreit as a good sign. The waitress was very friendly, but spread a little thin through all the tables. Menu had something for everyone. We ordered the special, smothered chicken, and it was not special. The shredded cheese they balled on there was barely melted. We ordered a plain burger for my son. The patty was thin and over cooked and bun a little over toasted. I ordered the Philly steak fries and they were good and I would order again. We travel through this area and were hoping it would be a place to eat and rest, but not sure we will make it a priority

The best BBQ I've had in the area. The restaurant itself is spacious, bright, and surprisingly…read moreupscale--almost more polished than you'd expect for a BBQ spot. 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

The best barbecue in Abilene is definitely a battle between The Shed and Jay's. Both are great, and…read moreboth are expensive, but all bbq is. The Shed opened a new location several years ago, and this is my first visit since they moved. The new building is GREAT! Love the look and layout. We got there at 11:15 and the line was almost to the front door. I ordered fatty brisket, jalapeño cream corn, and Mac and cheese. The brisket was just ok, not very fatty and not very juicy. But the bbq sauce definitely helped. On the other hand, both sides were GREAT! The jalapeño cream corn was fantastic, and the mac & cheese was very, very good. I'll come back again and get a rib plate, just so I can get some more sides! Is it barbecue time at your house? Let's go!

They even had a " happy anniversary" placard set out and gave us complimentary champagne. Joshua was our waiter and he was extremely friendly and very helpful. We had the calamari and cactus for an appetizer, the cowboy club and chopped salad for our entrees, and the almond praline dessert. All of the food and beverages were great. I also had an espresso martini and it was amazing, best I've ever had. Definitely a great establishment & will be back.
