He pronounced the sausage patties the best he's ever eaten, and he's still talking about it today. Good eggs, tasty non greasy hash browns , & oooh those biscuits!

You'll receive a warm smile when you walk in and when they drop your food off at your table. Fresh bread, veggies, fruit! It felt so peaceful in there. Genuinely such a gem. Quality and quantity of the food was perfect. Open on Saturdays as well so it's perfect for a lunch in between thrifting or checking out local shops. I will say there is a similar concept down the street, but I must emphasize that STK won me over. Will happily be back soon!

So, I have already had one review here. After being in Abilene for about 6 months, and coming to…read moreGrain Theory (almost daily) during that time, I finally tried the Brewhouse Burger. OMG, as an "Old Fay Guy" who has had more than his fair share of burgers, this is by far one of, if not the best, burger I have ever had. Shout out to Chef Rob and the kitchen staff. This burger will stand up (surpass) a burger from anyplace around.

I will forever be amazed by cool places, especially when they appear in unexpected cities like…read moreAbilene. Located on the second story of a beautiful building in downtown Abilene sits Grain Theory, a brewpub and coffee shop towering over the city. It is a mixed indoor-outdoor space with plenty of shaded outdoor and cooled indoor seating. Looking at their tap list, my girlfriend and I were impressed by their unique beers to try. I started with the Strawberry Peach Tonic (Fruited Hard Seltzer) and she had a Bella Rose (Rosé IPA). Both were served in cool glasses, with mine being tall and skinny and hers being almost like a wine glass. Shocking to nobody, mine was quite fruity while her Rosé IPA was hoppy with an underlying rosé flavor. Next, I ordered their Oktoberfest (German Märzen) and she had their Season's End (Belgian Dubbel). She described her drink as tasting like a Biscoff cookie. My Oktoberfest was quite malty, and I was a big fan. To close, we both ordered their Luscent (Belgian Table Beer) because small beers are back in fashion and I wanted to try it. It was obviously very light but still had a good flavor that was very bready. Nice and easy to close out our drinks with. They also have food and coffee that we didn't try, but the food looked sensational from what we saw others eating. They also have plenty of board games and card games to play while you're at the brewery and many beers available to take to-go. My only minor complaint is the lack of TVs in the brewery. Maybe it's a purposeful decision, but Texas Tech was playing football, and it would be a great place to watch the game. The bartenders are very friendly and willing to let you try and sample as many beers as you need to make your decision. Grain Theory feels like the kind of place every small Texas city wishes it had. I am very excited to come back here and try more beers, especially with how excellent the space is. RIYL: Cool-shaped beer glasses or a rooftop bar

It's truly the vibe of a grandma's cottage! Good place to meet for lunch! The pricing, quality, and quantity of the food served continues to not impress me though. I think some days it's better than others here. I like the experience itself and not so much the food here if I'm being transparent.

Food was your average, run of the mill breakfast joint in any given town. Three negatives for me…read morein a Texas small town breakfast diner- no tobasco at all. NONE. Also, just plain half and half creamer, no other options and seeet and low was the only other alternative for non sugar substitutes. They had a heavy wait but over 50% of the dining room was empty with dirty tables. Two kids acting as host and hostess which baffled me as to why they needed two and neither of them made an ounce of effort to clear a single table, fill drinks, accommodate guests requests etc. The cinnamon roll pancakes were excellent, the eggs, hashbrown and link sausage were average, good but nothing special. Biscuits and gravy were a 2/5 for me, nothing special at all. This place could be a 5 under better management but for the food, service and the way the place was run as of my visit it's a 2 at best.
