    Bread Pudding
    Luke P.

    Only saving grace of this is the meatball pocket, soup lacked substance and flavor, and the bread pudding was on the bland side and an unpleasant spongy texture. I say this with confidence I could make a better soup and Bread Pudding

    Spinach frittata and dill BLT pasta salad

    My husband and I were I. Town for a meeting and we decided to try something different from our norm. This place is so cute, sunny, friendly and the food was delish. I had the spinach frittata with homemade dill pasta salad and he had the steak club sandwich and Greek salad. We will definitely be back!

    Strawberry shortcake cake

    I ordered a strawberry shortcake cake for my daughter's baptism, and it was amazing! It was subtly sweet and melt in your mouth soft. It was also beautiful and by far the best deal for the money compared to other bakeries in town.

    My husband and I came here to escape the scorching hot sun, and to our surprise found a cute little spot that filled our little tummies. Just be aware if you get the tea it is not sweet. The workers were sweet and nice and the blonde waitress was quick to assist people and quick on her feet. Would definitely recommend!!

    Amazing service. Great food. And such a cute little place too! The food was fresh and oh so tasty and they do take home meals on Fridays which I'm excited to t try! All the staff was super friendly and helpful! Will for sure be back!

    The bathroom.
    Susy T.

    From beginning to end, great experience. Super creative and dynamic menu, with magical words such as "from scratch", "local produce" and "freshly cooked". Chrissy was an awesome ambassador of culture and art in Abilene, giving us great tips as new comers. Delightfully decorated, the place is a historic treasure, even the bathroom transported me to a little chateaux in France. Will be coming back!

    Turkey on Focaccia with a side salad.
    Garry H.

    5 star reviews have a downside. I tell y'all how GREAT this place is, then it gets busy and I can't get in! But that's ok, yelpers are a very sharing people, and spreading the word helps keep these places in business. My first time here. It's a house, turned bakery and Bistro. Pardon me, I meant GREAT bakery and cafe. Sandwiches and salads on the menu. Quiche, frittatas, and baked goods in the case up front. We had the avocado turkey sandwich on focaccia and the STK club sandwich, both with side salads. Everything was fantastic! Right down to the homemade ranch dressing. And they make really good tea. The owner, Missy I think, came out and talked to us. Super nice and a great person. She said don't forget dessert! And that's when things got crazy. We were full, so dessert was to go. We took home German chocolate cake, key lime pie, cinnamon rolls, and some quiche. With a great big smile, she gave us free cookies! Score! We definitely enjoyed our visit here, and will be back for sure. Thanks STK!

    Turkey focaccia and soup of the day: broccoli cheddar!
    Raquel H.

    My husband and I tried this bistro for the first time today. The food was super delicious! I got the turkey focaccia sandwich. It was sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, avocado and honey mustard on homemade focaccia. The bread, although thick, was super flavorful. They make everything from scratch, which is super impressive! I also had a cup of the soup of the day and it was good. My husband had the turkey caprese sandwich (not photographed). He wasn't a fan of how thick the bread was but I thought his sandwich was delicious. We shared the cinnamon roll and I believe it had cream cheese icing. In any case, it wasn't overly sweet. We paid $26.95 for 2 sandwiches, 1 cup of soup, 1 tea, 2 bags of chips. And then 3.79 for for the cinnamon roll. Moderate pricing

    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

So I sat there a little longer to enjoy the peace and quiet and because apparently this was the only place in town where nobody needed anything from me. While contemplating life, I noticed writing on the stall wall, it said, "If you want the job done right, call Martha." I thought, Well, Martha sounds confident. So I thought I'd give her a call. Turns out it wasn't Martha. It was Bob's Construction. So I gave this place 4 stars. They need to occasionally confirm the numbers on the wall.

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.
