Solid steak dinner spot not my favorite place as not much stands out for me to always want to come back but either way I still cant hate on a locally owned restaurant. Give it a try!! Its a classic abilene, texan restaurant read more

If you like grilled salmon, you need to come to the Beehive. No one in town does it better. We try to stop by here every time we are in town. Never disappoints. My husband always gets a steak and enjoys every bite. I wanted to eat something lighter, so that taking a huge wedge of strawberry cheesecake would seem reasonable. LOL My salmon was grilled over mesquite and cooked to medium. Perfect. I told the server the chef deserved a big hug. So many places cook a piece of salmon to death, making it dry and chewy. But the Beehive knows what they are doing. We only had to wait 10 minutes to be seated at 6:30p.m. After we left, around 8pm, there were people in a 20-30 minute wait. Don't be discouraged, it's totally worth it. The Long Island Iced Tea will keep you coming back. Ample parking around the building and plenty of room for two or a group. We even enjoy eating in the designated bar area. See you again when we come to Abilene in 2025! read more

The restaurant was recommended by the hotel staff where we were staying overnight. Gemini AI as well as DeepSeek AI also provided me a list of top 5 restaurants to try, Beehive was top of the list. Didn't have anything over the top, it was just a salad with grilled ship. But, the shrimp were cooked perfectly and the vinaigrette was delicious. My wife had a pork chop that cooked perfectly but a little too light on seasoning. My dad had a grilled chicken breast and it was cooked perfectly. My mom had a salad with grilled chicken. Honestly, the food was great. Ariana took care of all four of us. Very pleasant person, nice smile and very friendly and helpful. In fact, she took great care of us. Was very surprised about the restaurant itself. Was in an older building downtown. The building was well kept. Inside the restaurant was very nice and surprisingly big. Really didn't expect it to be that large of a space. I would recommend this place to anyone. If you're traveling through or you live there, try it. Reasonably prices, great food, nice atmosphere and great service. read more

This gem located in Abilene was recommended by the hotel worker and from the moment the doors open, they are packed! This is a fairly large establishment and while all tables appeared to be taken, the wait to be seated wasn't that long. All of the workers were very welcoming and the waitress didn't make me seem like a burden. I was so indecisive since everything seemed so appealing. After heavy debate, I ordered the Chef's Special, I wanted to live a little. The special included a Tomatoe chipotle pork chop, french onion mashed potatoes, sauteed veggies, and taco soup. I was skeptical at first but the flavors came together perfectly! The pork chop also wasn't your typical sized pork chop, it was about an inch thick. They are known for their Long Island Iced Teas but with the hefty meal, I ordered a Raspberry Lemon Drop that had the perfect ratio of mixer and alcohol. This was a great choice for dinner. Everyone in my group thoroughly enjoyed their meals. read more

Food is absolutely terrific! Everything we had was amazing. Had we not cleaned out plates with apps and mains we would have gotten desserts also bit had no room at all for anything else. The Texas tea is a must try drink as well. Our only gripe was the hostess who gave us major attitude upon asking to put two tables together. Beyond that all other staff were super kind and helpful. Even got to meet Nariman a co-owner of the business so that was special for us. We got seated within 15 minutes of arriving at 710pm without RSVP. Apps came out 20 minutes after ordering but entrees took 50 minutes after ordering to come out. It was very busy I admit also. We will come back again for sure to try more items like the fillet and prime rib which I am told is for some, the best they have ever had. read more

Unfortunately did not have a good experience. Was passing through Abilene on a long road trip when my husband in googling dog friendly restaurants, found Beehive was listed as "pets welcome" in google reviews so we stopped here. Two hostesses informed us that they did not allow animals despite the incorrect online listing and offered no apologies or any further assistance to refer us to somewhere nearby where we could eat. My mother in law even mentioned when she arrived before us that the hostesses were not very friendly or polite when she interacted with them. Never got to try the food and unfriendly won't plan to return. read more

Food was bland, I recommend to not come here the host kyla was very rude, she cussed at me under her breath, rolled her eyes all because I asked how much my wait time was!. read more

I have been coming here for years. Our waiters are usually friendly and prompt though the hostesses usually leave something to be desired as they are neither particularly friendly or responsive when you first walk in. For food the Filet is my usual go to though it's now the most expensive filet in Abilene and that includes Perinis. The Long Island Tea is a classic and a must try for anyone. Only misses the 5 star mark due to the hostesses and pricing, but great spot to celebrate special occasions read more

I really enjoyed my lunch here! The food and service were both great! Chicken was on point and loved the mason jars used for drinks. Look forward to my next trip! read more

Beehive Restaurant - Bar is cute - Steakhouses Near Me - Abilene, Texas

This a very big restaurant with lots of rooms for large parties The restaurant is very popular but in my opinion it is quite average. We order the salmon and it came with a salad and baked potato. The portions were large and the food was good but nothing special. We had a great waiter who was very attentive. He was the best part of the experience read more

Hands down, without a doubt, the best prime rib known to man! With a very honorable mention for their filet mignon!

I dined with colleagues on a business trip. The food was delicious and the presentation was wonderful. Come early for dinner. They fill quickly! read more

Absolutely love the Beehive salad. Second time at this restaurant for dinner and have enjoyed my soup & salad on each visit. My co-workers thoroughly enjoyed their entrees. Looking forward to our next visit, definitely a must while in Abilene. read more

Love this place! Husband and I use Friday nights for our date since we got married over 20yrs ago, But this is our favorite place of ALL. Quality service and the most exquisite food in town. 5/5** read more

Overpriced for what you get. Suggest that you ask for salad dressing on the side. The salad was drenched in so much dressing you could barely taste the greens. read more

The restaurant was absolutely amazing and first class. There were people lined up before it opened. The service was so good I left a tip as much as our bill. The food was delicious and very reasonable for the quality. Ambiance was perfect. We were in town for an event and will definitely be back next year. read more

Great food and service. Our server was fantastic as was the manager who came to check on us. Highly recommend.

I ordered the sirloin 8oz, and it was cooked to perfection. I asked the waiter if I could substitute the side of mashed potato for salad, and he said it was not possible. The salad looked like a soup with lettuce since it had more dressing than vegetables. A minor incident that won't prevent me from returning to this place or recommend it, but I feel it necessary to share happened when I entered the restaurant and was asked how many people were in the reservation. I said two. The lady told me to wait for my friend. I asked if I could wait at the table since I was thirsty. She noted that the business rule is not to give a table until everyone is at the restaurant. Weird. I would encourage the managers to have friendlier "rules," waiters, and hostesses. read more

Korea House delivered a flavor-packed evening. I went with the ribeye--tender, juicy, and seared to perfection. Each bite was a savory symphony. My wife chose the pork chops, and they were a show-stealer: thick-cut, beautifully seasoned, and finished with a sweet glaze that danced on the tongue. The service? Impeccable--attentive without hovering, warm without pretense. A perfect blend of comfort and culinary craft. We'll be back soon, and next time, we're bringing friends. read more

Given the glowing reviews, I had higher expectations. Unfortunately, it's not a place I'd return to. The food was overpriced for what it offered, and the ambiance felt like an attempt at upscale dining that landed more in the realm of a dated, homey setting. Overall, it was just okay. read more

Great food, excellent lamb, and potatoes. It can be a bit loud inside the bar area but overall the ambiance is good.

The food here is great amazing menu! Every time we are in Abilene we come and eat here. The filet and salmon is great. Service is always on point. The restaurant makes you feel like you are back in the old times. read more

Great date night restaurant for my husband's birthday! Nice ambiance with linen tablecloths and napkins. Not overly fancy but definitely a step up from casual. Nice mix of dinner guests dressed up and casual so a person wouldn't feel out of place. Be advised they DO NOT accept reservation requests. It's first come first serve. If you are meeting people there you will not be seated until all the guests have arrived. We were seated almost immediately and every interaction with staff was friendly and polite. Bread and whipped butter is served as an appetizer. It was good, but nothing special. We both chose salad with our meal. It was small but flavorful. It comes wit raw red onions and two slices of tomato. The ranch dressing is very very good and flavorful. My husband ordered Italian dressing and said it was a balsamic Italian and he liked it. I ordered the mesquite grilled shrimp which are served butterflied style still in the shell ( it didn't say that on the menu and I wasn't told that by the waitress). I have to say it was absolutely DELICIOUS, albeit messy to eat because of having to dig out the shrimp from the shell. I had no other choice but to use my hands as I tried multiple other ways to remove them from the shell with no luck! It was served with a very light coating of garlic butter, a grilled lemon on the side which really elevated the flavor and some clarified butter. I opted for French fries. They were good and enjoyable, but not memorable. My husband chose the 10oz filet mignon (med rare) and baked potato with butter. His steak was cooked to perfection just how he requested it. Flavor was good, a little peppery with a nice amount of salt. We've been to quite a few restaurants in town and this is the first steak he actually liked and would reorder! Price point was to be expected for the food we chose. Quality matched price point well. The do not do free drink refills (unless it's water). Each additional fountain drink is $2! Overall had a delicious dinner with great ambiance and polite and attentive staff! Would definitely recommend for a nice dinner date! Price before tip (WITHOUT ordering appetizers, drinks from the bar or dessert) was about $80 and around $96 with tip. I say give them a try. We will be back! read more

Wow this was really good. Prime rib is no joke, it's huge and the drippings are amazing. The hamburger is probably the best I've ever had, the flavor of the meat is just perfect and salty. I would say they err on the side of undercooking the food, so medium rare was actually very rare and medium well was red in the middle. But we enjoyed it. The chicken fried steak is the best I've had, properly thinned steak so it wasn't chewy, the breading actually stayed on, and the white gravy wasn't overly greasy. The sweet potato with the sweet toppings is so delicious it's like a dessert. I would order that over dessert any day. The fries are perfectly flavored and crispy, lots of skins like I like. Great service, the people here are great. *But* I thought the bread basket was extremely bland. My kids enjoyed it because they love all bread but I passed. I think my expectations were maybe too high for the long island based on other reviews, it was good but not extraordinary other than the size of it. Also everything was pretty salty and overly rich, it could have been less so and still really good. This was a wonderful treat and then we ate salad for 3 days. read more

We had a large group after attending the nearby light celebration. We were seated in a room with the fireplace which was a nice touch. The NY strip was on special and was excellent. Restaurant was really busy and we had a new waiter which made for slow service, especially for drinks. Only disappointment on the food came from those that ordered chicken fried steak. I was shocked that it was so thin and looked like a DQ Dude CFS. But overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I had been here a couple times pre-covid and thought it was very good. My wife and I don't go out much, but I finally got her to to try it. I had a sandwich special which was good size and very tasty, however, there was a lot of fat on the rib-eye steak. My wife got the chicken-fried steak. It was okay, with a decent portion size. However, it should have been pounded much thinner. I don't think either of us got the sides we were supposed to get. I specifically asked our server if the mashed potatoes were smooth or with potato chunks; she told me smooth, but thy were very chunky. Especially when considering the prices, it was a disappointing dining experience. read more

The food was wonderful from Burgers and fries to steak, loved it all! Dessert was not a possibility because of portions. Staff was professional and the atmosphere was upscale. read more

Good service, roll appetizers were tasty. Grilled chicken and chicken kebab were tasty. Atmosphere was calm. A little pricey for what you get, but I would go back here for sure. read more
