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.

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.

Is there a dress code?

Supposedly no, but if you come in work clothes or something comfortable you will be treated as you are less than and pushed off to the side so they can deal with their "higher status" customers.

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.

If you're looking for a short road trip from Fort Worth that feels like a true getaway, you've got…read moreto check out Perini Ranch Steakhouse. From the moment you arrive, it feels like you're out in the middle of nowhere--in the best way possible. The rustic atmosphere is incredible, and on the cool day we visited, they had a wood-burning fireplace going right in the middle of the dining room. It made the whole experience feel cozy and authentic. What really stood out, though, was the people. The service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. I even had the chance to chat with a woman who's been working there for over 20 years--she shared some of the restaurant's history and how it's evolved over time, which made the visit even more special. For food, we started with the fried quail legs--perfectly cooked and seriously delicious (we could've easily eaten more). For the main course, I had the ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was spot on--full of flavor and didn't need a thing added. My wife went with the hamburger steak and loved it as well. Great food, even better people, and an atmosphere that's hard to beat. We'll definitely be back.

The ambience is fine; sortuv a rustic cabin feel. We've had great service the two times we went, and the table bread is wonderful. Not impressed with the thick, (cooked?) carpaccio or the overcooked brussel sprouts. Compared to the USA, it's a 3/5. But in Abilene? Maybe a 4/5.

The food was just okay and the ambiance was nice, albeit slightly dated and themed. Read on for details... Food: The steaks were very good. They just were. No complaints there. The calamari was too heavily fried; downright crunchy, and the calamari may as well have been absent. If I had been blindfolded, I honestly couldn't have been able to distinguish between the fried green beans (I think?) that were in the mix and the calamari itself. The sides were unremarkable. As was the table bread. The dessert I chose was a special; a peanutbutter pie. It was very rich, and would have been all right paired with some fresh whipped cream atop; instead it was smothered in chocolate sauce, despite the chocolate ganache which was a significant part of the pie itself. It made for any almost inedible dessert. ...So why the 3 stars? The service was perfect. And don't forget that steak...

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.

I felt that the cream gravy was lack-luster and needed more seasoning. The chicken and dumplings were on-point and the sides we selected (mashed potatoes, corn and green beans) were delicious. I do wish that they had regular size spoons (or teaspoons) available. i did not like using a giant serving spoon to eat. But that did not detract from the taste of the food.
