I wasn't sure what to make of this place from what I'd read online, but I was in Abilene for a while and the Friday gathering at my event clearly didn't have the kind of food that I'd consider "dinner", so I made my way over to this place down the road for a proper meal. I've seen more than a few places of this sort, most notably the Fuddrucker's chain in Houston. A predominantly burger menu with other options, sides, milkshakes, desserts, etc. where you order your meal at a counter, fill up your drink at a station, and sit at big wooden tables, and run your little buzzer back to pick up your food. They have a great vibe that really seems to fit the area, and it looked like there was a playground area where families could bring their kids for a good time. Prices are a bit higher than I'd like-- it cost me almost $18 for a burger, a side, and a drink-- but it was still worth a visit. The only reason that I didn't give them the full five stars is that the service was a bit slow. I was waiting surprisingly long for a burger considering how fast some other orders came out, and it took a while to track someone down to get a to go box for my leftover side. read more

I ate at Blue Sky for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. The burger was seasoned perfectly and the ingredients were fresh. I ordered the onion rings, the whole reason I came here, and they were made just like my favorite hotdog spot back home in NY. There are so many burgers to choose from, and I'll 100% be back to try the mushroom Swiss next. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our trays were picked up right away to give us more space, and someone was cleaning tables quickly after other guests finished their meals. Everything felt clean and well taken care of. I'm really glad I finally came here and I'll definitely be back. read more

It was all great UNTIL I found a long hair in my burger yuck and then I thought maybe mine which is up in a messy bun. Then when I go to take it home left it out of the basket and bam a lot more hair no thanks besides that the building is clean and nice vibe. Service was very good also read more

Great burger and chips in queso. Service and restaurant was clean. Definitely would recommend to everyone.

Blue Sky used to be my favorite place to eat. At one time , I had more check ins than anyone. Then they changed their buns and the new buns are worse. Then something happened and their tator tots became so greasy they are now bad. Onion rings are pricey and nothing but grease. It is like watching a good friend die. You wish they could turn things around but Blue Sky doesn't seem to care. Good bye Blue Sky, we will miss you read more

10% Military discount! Thank you! Typically loud like these kinds of places are. I had the Blue Sky with onion rings. Pretty good, good portions. Onion rings were messy but good. My wife had Mushroom Swiss Burger. She liked it, good flavor, lots of veggies, good portion. read more

This place was busy on a Sunday afternoon! The food was delicious, I would say slightly overpriced. They do not have combo options. For a cheeseburger, drink and side of small fries my total came out to over $18. Good food though, just wish it was a but more affordable. Pictured also is the Blue Sky "Steak" and fries my friend got. read more

Blue Sky Texas - Blue Blue Sky Steak & Fries and Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

I have gone here a few times and has been great every single time. Can't go wrong with a bacon burger and a root beer float!

First time here and ordered a cheeseburger and the meat was so charred I couldn't eat it, the bun was buttered but left on the grill a little too long and so it was hard :( burger did have good flavor I give it that! Fries were so greasy and tasted old. Sadly I won't come back again it but at least I tried something new read more

First, Yelp is wrong. They are not open on Mondays. Otherwise Yelp is correct. Except Burgers, fries and onion rings. Wednesday night it is Chicken fried steak and fries. Of course, I order onion rings for the table because: very good or's and my family always says, oh look there is OR's. read more

100 stars for the burgers and a million for the customer service! Staff were incredibly sweet! We will definitely return!

Came here with my family to eat after visiting the Zoo. We were greeted upon entry and started the task of figuring out our orders. Our food was ready in a timely manner and tasted so good. No seasoning needed. The atmosphere was laid back and family friendly. The restrooms were clean. We would absolutely come back here again to eat if we're ever in town. read more

Fast, fresh, tasty all-American fare. Family-friendly. If you're craving something yummy off the grill, Blue Sky will scratch that itch. Oh, peach tea (sweet or unsweet) is a bonus. read more

Amazing food the only thing is it is a pretty long wait but overall amazing food!!! We went there before my sister got proposed to which was amazing!!!! read more

Hamburgers seem always great. Chicken fried steak not so much. Cashier very pleasant. Nice clean area

The burgers are pretty good. I always get the half and half rings and fries. Best onion rings in town in my opinion. Sometimes the person taking the order seems a bit impatient but they were probably just having to deal with folks like me all day. It's a really nice place with lots of options. read more

The food is AMAZING! Blue Sky is one of my favorite restaurants to go to. The service is pretty quick and the ambiance is chill. It's a little expensive but so worth it. read more

Great for families!! Inside or out when weather is nice. Really good burgers, fries ,onion rings & cold beer. TV's for sports.

Great hamburgers! They give you a large. Fresh hamburger patty.... Which to me makes a great burger

The best burger for the price. The chilly sticks are wonderful... hatch peppers julienne cut and batter like onion rings. YOU NEED TO TRY THEM!!! The sports bar atmosphere is major fun for all! read more

I couldn't give this place 5 stars even though it can be great. Any time we have been at the restaurant on Wednesdays over the last 2 months the home fries and onion rings were cold. You will have to take your fries or onion rings back to the counter and tell them to get a replacement. I just don't feel you should have to do it. I can however say the Chicken Fried steak here is one of the best anywhere. They have great salads and a Greek Chicken Sandwich that are super. read more

The burgers are decent I guess. Nothing to rave about but decent. I've tried a few different burgers but they all basically taste the same no matter which you choose. The place usually seems clean and well kept which is why we have been back a few times. The coconut tea is definitely a fav! The staff for the most part seem friendly and smiling so that's another positive. All in all it's not bad. read more

Had to bring a group of school kids in just before they closed. I hated to do it but they were one of the only places still open after out contest. They took good care of us and smiled the whole way through. The kids always love the food and I was happy to get them fed quickly and back on the road. Very grateful. read more

Good burgers, fairly quick service, lots of seating, outdoor play area for kids, good portions but high prices for a counter order restaurant read more

Really good mushroom Swiss avocado hamburger and great onion rings!! Will be back again.

Great food! Slightly overpriced on some items, but overall, worth it! I've never ordered anything I didn't like! Don't order the frito pie though, it's extremely good but a very small portion for the price. read more

I ordered a blue plate special last evening 7/20/2023, and it was anything but special. The worse meal I've had in a very long time. Threw half of it in the trash. Fries were limp and greasy, no real taste. The the steaks (hamburger meat) as they call them were over cooked & greasy about 1/4 in. thick. The smothered in Casio was enough for one piece of meat. The onions and jalapeños were in a little plastic ketchup holder. Hardly enough to taste. I'd hardly call it a blue plate special. It really was a disaster! Won't be going back! read more

Not many 5 star burger joints. Here it is!!! Service was fantastic. People at the counter were friendly and helpful. Place was clean with a couple games on the tv. The food is fantastic. Best burgers ever. Onion rings that I would drive 1500 miles for. (drove from Pennsylvania to see my son). If having burgers must must must eat here. Great last meal in Abilene!!! read more

First time here for me. My wife has been here before. We got the Texas cheese steak. Man is it good. The burgers look great. Can't wait to come back and try them. I got onion rings. They were ok. Not much batter - which is good - but they were pretty much grilled onion rings as the batter was coming off. We stopped on a Sunday about 4:30 and there was hardly anyone here. read more

Food was very tasty. It was just me and my son he got the mini cheeseburger with fries and a sweet tea and I ordered a half order of chili cheese fries with a side of ranch and a coconut sweet tea so yummy! We came in about 3pm. Staff was friendly restaurant was kinda busy with big groups by our food did not take long to come out restaurant was clean. read more

My family and I wanted to give this place a try. First and foremost, I would have given this place more stars if the food was great, but their customer service was great! The workers are all nice even the guys bussing tables. Not many options besides burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches, chips & queso. And chili fries. This is more a place for a quick simple meal. I had the chicken Cesar salad pretty simple but good. The burgers were ok according to my family but really greasy. The chili cheese fries, weren't anything special. Simple shredded cheese and looked like crumbled up hamburger patty's. It was pretty dry so I dipped it into the queso. I definitely think they should try different cheeses for the chili cheese fries and try having the burgers not so greasy. Everything is fried so, it doesn't sit well with the stomach if there's tons of grease to follow. I can see improvement there if they try. Besides, the workers are already great. read more

Asked if they had a veggie burger and was told that yes, they do. I asked for it plain with cheese. The disappointment when I lifted the bun was borderline hilarious until it wasn't. To try to make my meal better (if you could even call it a meal) I got a shake, which was mostly empty space and whipped cream. Really disappointing. What I had tasted good, it just wasn't worth the price of a meal. read more

I'm not sure why the previous guy is complaining. Prices are clearly stated on the menu. Tatter tots take longer to make so there is an upcharge which is clearly stated on the board outside. You don't come here for the tatter tots anyways. It's called blue sky burgers, fries and onion ringers. Sounds like this man is a competitor paid to leave a bad review. Maybe he wouldn't be so angry if he laid off the onion ringers and tater tots read more

Blue Sky Texas - Fries, shake and Berger - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Cheeseburger w/ a side of Grilled Jalapeños!! Spicy and Delish. I had onion rings and the hubby had tater tots, both were tasty. The onion rings had a thin crust, which I like. My hubby ordered the Chile queso dog. The chili was nice and chunky, looked freshly made. The queso was a bit much. Next time we will just have shredded cheese. The staff was nice and social distancing was enforced. We will definitely be back read more

Blue Sky Texas - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Good food, but had to drop one star because their website lists wrong hours of operation. That's extremely aggravating. They have odd hours and are not open every day. CALL before you go because they might be closed. (Note to management: please update your website!) read more

Poor quality, terrible service! Not even close to quality of food served at Amarillo location.

The burgers and fries are awesome. The daily specials are wonderful as well as the salads.

It was a fun lunch. Hamburgers are very good and large. Sides are good. Staff is great!

Food is always great. Burgers are good. I usually get the green chili burger. Very good. Fries are good too. They use ground chuck. Never had a problem here. Have TVs to watch sports. Have some beers but not sure on which ones. Have an outdoor playground for the kids. I would recommend this place. read more
