    Caesar Salad
    Erin W.

    As kind as our server was, the service was pretty slow overall. My cocktail didn't come out until 5 minutes before my main dish, my boyfriend got a Dr. Pepper and instead of asking if he'd like a refill when his glass was empty, she just filled it with water which was odd. She also brought us a to go box for our appetizer without asking and before our main dishes came out, which was also odd because it was just taking up extra space on our table. Food overall was good, so no complaints there but the service was so bad that we won't be back.

    Long Island iced tea!

    Steak and potato were amazing! Staff were excellent. Highly recommended. Will stop here again the next time I'm in town.

    Prime Rib
    Daniel M.

    Every was Delicious. Prime Rib was fantastic. The steak fries were different but very good. Fried mushrooms were excellent. Fried shrimp also great. Chicken fried steak very good. The backed potatoes were perfect. Over all excellent meal. Great server but I don't remember her name. Nice ambiance.

    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!

    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.

    Something special in Abilene If ur celebrating this is definitely the nice restaurant for you Friendly staff Large steak portions Nice atmosphere

    Burgundy marinated mushrooms

    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.

    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!

    Is there a dress code?

    I don't know how C.V. determines they were "pushed off to the side" for "higher status customers." I have shown up at the Beehive in all kinds of conditions and always received friendly and courteous service. No dress code that I am aware of.

    Do they have a tv?

    The place is pretty old school. No tv unless there was some really small one.No stupid background music. Best rack of lamb in the world. Some people looking at iPhone. People mostly eat and talk.

We took the onions and cucumbers off our salad due to dietary issues and that left us with lettuce, mushrooms, and dressing. Our burger was the best part. It was cooked well, and the bun was soft. The strawberry shortcake was disappointing. The fruit was stewed and the biscuits were hard with just room temp heavy cream to offset the temperature of the fruit. For ambiance, it was nothing to write home about. Very busy and very loud, but it was a Saturday evening so that was to be expected. What I didn't expect was the lack of air conditioning in July. It was over 100 degrees that day, and it was cooler outside. Unacceptable for Texas in July when you're seating tables 3' from each other. Our server was good. She was attentive, and kept our water glasses filled. We may try again once the weather cools down.

The interior is that frigid, lifeless faux fancy industrial aesthetic that chills your senses and has no character of its own. The menu is what you expect. Nothing special or original just benign takes on traditional fare, like Blackened Ribeyes. We were In Abilene because my family gathered to watch my nephew's football debut at Hardin-Simmons University. My wife ordered the Caesar Salad and Truffle fries. The salad was limp, and the dressing was tangy like it was mixed with Dijon mustard Her Truffle Fries had an okay flavor. The dipping sauces were good but nothing great but the nail in the coffin was the fries were cold. Not cold as in sitting in the warmer cold, we're talking OUT ON THE COUNTER FOR 10 MINUTES OR MORE COLD!! I got the Waygu Smash burger. The burger patties, pickles, and everything inside were good but it was served on a fancy bun that was also cold. Not sitting on the counter for 10 minutes cold, we're talking RIGHT OUT OF THE FRIDGE COLD. Fancy buns should be lightly toasted to make the dense bread bearable. It totally failed my bun to juiciness ratio, and to top it off my fries were also COLD. My daughter got the Ahi Tuna Ponzo. I didn't taste it because I was busy eating my cold bun, cold fries. Plus my wife's Dijon Caesar Salad because she despises mustard. But she seemed to like it, that's why this review is three stars instead of two. She said it was "Slightly nutty and the vinaigrette is sharp and fresh without being overwhelming the tuna is seasoned nicely and it's a fatty cut not fishy at all." Listen, you could say "if it's cold send it back. Make them fix it." But the truth is that it doesn't matter. They sent out two batches of cold truffle fries (my brother in law also ordered some), my cold fries, a fancy bun that was right out of the fridge, and Caesar dressing spiked with Dijon mustard. Sending it back just would have made the experience worse, like being in a chilly hell where all the heat has been stolen so all food is served COLD.

(chips were pretty good) The salmon was overcooked and the grilled broccoli practically raw. This meal was so underwhelming it reminded me of maybe something you might pick up in a grocery store in that section where people who don't cook go to get ready-made meals. It was right at that level. Service- Two or three stars. Mediocre. I've been here once before, btw, and that experience was probably an overall 3-star. This time was right before a show at the convention center next door. You'd think that maybe the restaurant would have been prepared for a crowd? Apparently not, since our food was slow to come (the table next to us had both of their steaks comp'ed due to slow service and not being cooked as asked). When I asked for a wine list, the server stated that he would "try to find one", and it took awhile. And the restaurant was probably only about 60% full. I mean, if I'm going to wait forever for my food, at least let me be drinking while I wait! The appetizer arrived with our food, btw. Love that... Ambiance: Five Stars. The restaurant looks nice. Get your act together, Smokehouse! It would be nice if we could count on a nice meal before a show without having to Uber to and from the hotel/venue for it.
