My husband and I went here last Saturday for lunch. very busy, but they get your order, and get you seated right away. (You seat yourself.) My husband wanted to try the low-carb no carb menu, so he had the protein diet plate that consisted of two pieces of grilled chicken, with bacon and cheese, a small bowl of chili or pico de gallo; and a salad. It tasted pretty good. I had a cheeseburger. it was good. I wouldn't recommend it over Lucy's or Heff's, but it was still tasty. Service was good. Good prices as well. I really enjoyed the atmosphere as well. Pleasing for family or friends, if you don't mind they serve beer. They also have "homemade"shakes. and after seeing 4/5 of them come out, I really wanted to try a chocolate banana shake! but I stuck to what I had and will definitely have a shake next time! read more

This place is fantastic!! Enter, order and pay, sit down; great for groups and kids! They have a shaded patio and playground. read more

See all

Great customer service! Fast and clean. Lots of space and the night I went, relaxed family atmosphere. Big portions, maybe too big.

Here in Abilene for a doctor's visit. The burger was good, the meat was fresh, the bun was moist. Better than Heff's. I appreciate that the onion rings and fries are made fresh. You could tell they aren't frozen. read more

Fantastic lunch! Friendly staff, great food & service! They need to add a location in Denton, TX!

Blue Sky always delivers when it comes to a quality product. I ordered the Texas cheese steak the first time I came and it is so good I have never strayed from it. The onion rings are cut small and not large or thick rings. They are the best I have ever had. read more

Blue Sky Texas - Onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Not bad, but also not very impressive. Greasy buns and fries that got cold quick. Order in a line and seat yourself type restaurant. There are better burger joints in Abilene that are either similarly priced or worth the extra couple dollars. read more

I love this food and the service is good. If you have never been here 10/10 recommend it. It's really fast.

My daughter and I ate here when she was home on Christmas break and really enjoyed our lunch. We started with their queso and chips and were pretty surprised at the freshly cooked chips hot out of the fryer and really tasty queso that didn't taste like the same old Velveeta-Rotel combo we all know (and love, if I'm being honest). But more important, it didn't taste like a typical "off the truck" packaged queso you get elsewhere. We ended up using that for our fries and onion rings, as well. We chose to split a half & half order of fries and onion rings (good choice, we had too much food on the table!) and to each have a plain old cheeseburger as a gauge. Buns were toasted well, burgers cooked to what I'd say is just past medium-well, so juicy but definitely cooked through, and thankfully neither of us ran into the greasiness other Yelpers mentioned. One day I'll learn to follow her lead and skip the lettuce and tomato, or at least ask if the lettuce is shredded - how on earth are you supposed to eat that stuff gracefully on a burger? I wasn't expecting a cashier/line/pickup situation but it went quickly and smoothly and the layout of the restaurant didn't feel hectic or crowded when going to pick up food. All in all a solid lunch option, though I'd recommend splitting your side, as the half & half was more than suited for sharing. read more

Crazy overpriced, and just decent food. Has a okay vibe. Kinda rude staff... not sure if it's worth going back. Only super exciting thing there is the play area. read more

Stopped in tonight for the first time. Great atmosphere, very clean and a great cheeseburger! I will definitely be back next time I'm visiting Abilene read more

Finally a Gluten Free Burger worth paying for. Great food and atmosphere. If you are in the Abilene area and want a great place to get a gluten free burger this is it. read more

Blue Sky Texas - Blue sky - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Ordered a salad with grilled chicken . When I got home, the chicken was not in the bag. When I called the girl a used me of lying to her and told me she has packed it Nd I must have dropped it out of the bag. The chicken was not in my bag and I did not appreciate being called a liar. read more

Not sure we'll ever go to another local burger place again. The last time we went to a close Burger place my gluten free daughter got really sick so we think their season salt was on her chicken burger even though we said no season salt (gluten). So missing a good burger we decided to Blue Sky. My daughter and I ordered bunless bacon hamburgers and oh my they are good. (This was before they had the tasty gluten free buns). Most "mixed" seasonings hurt our gluten sensitive tummies but these meat patties were seasoned wonderfully and didn't hurt us. They were so every good. And my husband loved his green chili burger - bun and all. Yum. If you haven't tried it yet do so soon. They have an outdoor play area too. read more

For an American fast food place, it isn't the worst. I ordered a burger with avocados, Oreo milkshake, and a lemonade. The burger was slightly over cooked but it was still edible. The avocado was not fresh, it was a from a per-made container. The Oreo shake was 100% just Oreos, milk, ice, and whipped cream. Their menu reads that it is done with real blue bell ice cream and I am certain that is not so. The shake started to separate. The Oreo and bits of ice sat at the top while the milk drained to the bottom of the cup. The texture was all off. Next time you run out of ice cream, simply be honest with the customer. Their lemonade has the flat after taste that some fountain drinks have. It's from a failure to clean out the fountain properly at the end of service. Moldy. read more

This was worse than bar food. Frozen chicken tender, my fiancé got this frito pie salad that was all lettuce, there was little to no meat. The best part of the dinner was the onion rings. We will not be back. read more

It's good to see a familiar place. When I went to college in Lubbock, there was a Blue Sky there. I love the staff here. Their food is reasonably priced. I love love love their burgers. The atmosphere is very chill and reminds me of the sports bar feel. read more

Burgers were greasy and bland, the bun was nicely toasted but it was the only thing nice about the burger. The fries were soggy like the deep fryer isn't set to the right temperature to fully cook them, adding cheese and bacon wasn't even able to make them tolerable. The price of this place for what you are actually getting is outrageou, this place would be better classified as fast food and not a restauran. read more

Everything at Blue Sky is awesome. haven't found anything I don't like. Everyone in the family loves it. and they even have an outside play area for the kids. read more

Blue Sky Texas - Blue Sky Steak Fires - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Blue Sky rocks! Friendly staff, not a long wait for food even when the line is long, and food is great. Big fan of their burgers and salads. Favorite comfort food in Abilene for sure. read more

I visited Blue Sky Texas last week while visiting my family in Abilene. I had the chicken fried steak and fries. It left a lot to be desired. It had little flavor and seemed as if it was frozen. Their peach tea was pretty good. Perhaps next time I'll get a burger. read more

I like Blue Sky Texas. We didn't wait long and the menu offers salads made with dark green lettuce rather than just the iceberg type. Some have said it's pricey and they do sell the fries separate so you end up around $9 bucks for a burger (wo/cheese) and fries and that doesn't include drink. So better figure on $10-$11 out the door. The noise level was much lower than some places although it was probably a much slower night than other times. Still, the music wasn't blasting loud, nice on the digestive tract : ) Also pretty nice sized tables and some space between them. Better than many of the other similar types in Abilene. I'll go again. read more

All I can really say is meh. The burgers look great but are very bland. The burgers tend to fall apart pretty quick. Upside the patties are a good size and juicy. I had chili with mine but for the cost of blue sky there are much better cheaper burgers out there. Btw chili is bland and tasteless as well. The fried jalapeños are not very good and for the price your getting a ton of undippable little pieces. Service was top notch the little blonde cashier was very helpful and full of cheer. The greeting earned them an extra star. If your bored and have money to blow try it. If you have a small eating out budget I would skip. read more

Very slow service. Waited in line about 20 minutes. Employees were not friendly once you got up to the front. At least apologize for the wait. Our food took another 15 minutes. We walked around trying to find a clean table and didn't find one so finally we wiped our own off and an employee was on break and said oh I can get that but I have 10 more minutes left on break. We said its fine we will get it. The entires time we were there every table was dirty and people just looking for places to sit. I will not go back. read more

Yesssssss! Finally! Used to eat at Blue Sky in Lubbock all the time an loved it. The burgers here are thin and delicious! If you're looking for a thick, hearty burger this place probably isn't for you. The burgers are very big but the party is thin. Best tater tots around and yummy ranch! read more

Not impressed at all. My husband and I ordered two small items and two large drinks. I got a garden salad, which was very small. He got a Fritos pie and it too was not very big. I would say that both would not have filed a vente (large) coffee cup. Price....almost $19.00. Wow. Not impressed. read more

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I walked in. It's a style of a fast food restaurant only bigger. An all American food place. Hamburgers and hot dogs. The food was over all good, not amazing but good. My order was wrong but it was only a tomato not removed. The chili cheese fries were tasty treat. The hamburger was flavored well. So over all okay, not worth multiple trips to me. read more

I was expecting more types of burgers to choose from, but I had never been in before and the simple menu is not a bad thing. It was tasty and definitely satisfied the craving for a good burger. read more

When you come to a town like Abilene that has a Heff's and a Wholly Cow you need to bring your A game with your burgers. My husband's green chile cheeseburger was okay but just ok, nothing to get too excited about. My Frito pie with school grade quality something you would get in junior high The onion rings were good and crispy and we like the ranch dressing that came with them but the fries had a strange wang. The building was great clean open spacious the staff friendly but just not really worth the trip. read more

Very average in town. Burger was good, fries were fine, onion rings were okay. No way it was worth the price. Lucy's is better value for great burgers. Staff was nice. read more

This is the only place in town that you can eat on a big patio and have a beer while the kids play on a unique and engaging playground and sandpit. The patio is positioned above the sandpit so parents have no trouble keeping a close eye on the kiddos. That alone would earn this place a high rating from me, but the burgers are pretty dang good, too. The only thing that keeps Blue Sky from being a 5 star place for me is the lack of a craft beer selection, to speak of. But, they have Shiner, which will certainly do fine, given the view from the patio on a nice day read more

Went to this place for the first time as a family. The chips and queso were excellent. Also the bacon cheese fries were delectable with along with the homemade ranch. Convenience of having a playground for the kids was a cherry on top. We enjoyed a pitcher of beer while our kids played. It was a win for all of us- will definitely be back! Also, very friendly staff also!!!! There was a middle aged man helping by the draft station that was very friendly and eager to help! read more

Absolutely the best burgers in abilene. Went in during lunch time, so it was pretty busy. They did not take long to get our orders out. The burgers are big and juicy. I shared a large order of fries with my boyfriend and that was enough for the both of us. Love this place! read more

Good food and nice play place for kiddos outside. Play place alone is worth going if you've got young kids, but burgers and chicken sandwiches are pretty bomb. Management is super friendly and helpful. read more

I have been to Blue Sky many times. I always get A burger and fries and until today everything has always been great. The only thing different today was the fries were not cooked fresh. As it is A Sunday, I assume they made A big bunch for the lunch crowd and had leftover fries. My visit today was about 2:00 pm. read more

First time there. Seemed to take a while to get our meal but it wasn't overly bad. Hamburger was good. Not spectacular but good. Fries were so-so as were the tater tots. They have sweet tea so that was a plus. $23 for two seemed a little for burgers but all in all a good experience. Will go back but it's not somewhere I will rush back to. read more

Awesome burgers, some of the best onion rings I've ever had, great fries. Unfortunately, they teamed up with Blue Bell as their ice cream partner and for those of you who don't know, Blue Bell is going through some struggles right now. Downside is the price. It's not at a price that we can make this a frequent visit. I've been to both places in Lubbock (at least I only know of 2) and we had great burgers every time. read more

Wonderful food! Burgers are good, the fries are yummy but the Anaheim peppers are delicious! Missed this place from back home and glad they are finally in Abilene. Love the atmosphere and look forward to coming here again and again. read more

Burgers had no flavor. French fries were cold and soggy. We probably will not be back. Seemed like the management was more concerned with other things. We even went before the lunch rush so our food would be cooked fresh. read more

Burger was okay, reminded me of whataburger with slightly better toasted bun. Fries meh, tots double meh, 23 bucks for meh means unlikely return. The worst part of our visit tonight though was the horrible cashier. We explained it was our first time here, audible sigh and rolling of eyes, she explained nothing and did not smile once!!!! Such a shame. read more
