    Brisket sandwich
    Tesla A.

    We were just driving through the cross plains when we started getting super hungry and found this place on google with great reviews. I am so happy we stopped here the prices were so cheap and the brisket sandwich was literally the best I've ever had! Amazing customer service at the drive though window, the woman working offered my dogs some spare brisket trimmings and they were so happy. The peach cobbler and fries and fried okra were all sooo good too! If you're driving by make sure to stop here!

    Western Christmas tree!

    We were traveling through the town of Cross Plains and needed a place to eat. Husband was in the mood for BBQ, so after a quick call to insure the place was open, we chose Bubba's. The employees were very friendly, and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Husband got the Cajun Tater, a huge mountain of potato, butter, meat, topped with Bubba's crawfish and shrimp etoufee, and finished with shredded cheese, sour cream and green onions. I would have sworn he couldn't finish that beast, but he found it delicious and not only finished it, but ate the skin! I ordered a Senior plate, and got a serving of sliced brisket, fries, sweet potato casserole and peach cobbler. My opinion: the brisket was average plus, the fries were delicious and fresh, the sweet potato casserole was dry, and the peach cobbler was made from canned peaches, with a seasoned cracker topping, no ice cream. This place was a hit or miss, with the Cajun Tater taking first place and my meal a distant last.

    Simple and cheerful atmosphere, nice and clean!

    I've left a review for this restaurant before but it was based primarily on the food. The service…read moreis usually lacking but not as bad as today. My sister & I shown up around 4:05pm on Saturday, March 21st. There were two booths open. One still had stuff on it so we sat at what looked like the clean table. It apparently had not been wiped clean. There was water and some sort of sticky stuff on it. We told the young man about the sticky stuff and asked for a towel to clean the table. The young man brought us a dry towel. We ended up using hand sanitizer to clean the table. After about 15 minutes of waiting, my sister brings attention to the waitress that we would like to get drinks. The waitress, Carson, informed us that they're closed from 3:30pm to 4:30pm due to waitress/cook shift change, but since it was just two of us and it's nearly 4:30, she will go ahead and serve us. We feel that if the restaurant is closed for any reason, no matter the length of time, there should be a sign & the door should be locked. We ordered a large chicken fried steak and fried pickles. I said that we want the pickles first. The CFS came and I reminded her that we wanted the pickles first. She then said that she put in the order and need to check, they should be done. No, we heard them being dropped in the fryer. Then, when receiving our pickles, she said that the boy was cutting pickles when we came in and so they weren't read.... I say bolony. I don't believe either thing she said. The water was gross, unsure if the glasses were dirty but I had stuff floating in mine. It actually tasted like it had another soda in it. My sister's was awful too. She went next door and bought 2 bottles of water. I told Carson about the water. She didn't offer anything else to drink or take our glasses away. After being served, Carson never came back to the table. I'm only give a second star because of the food. Staff would get a 0 stars if I could. Update: Since this review, they've updated their hours on Google.

    The waitress was the best part of this visit. She was super nice and was the ONLY server. The TLDR…read moreis the wait was not worth the food. We waited over an hour and a half for our appetizer. The brisket poppers did not contain brisket. After we have been there for so long, we were then told they were out of buffalo sauce for the Buffalo chicken salad. The pork chops were bland and the portion of Mac and cheese tasted odd and was tiny. Chicken fried steak was okay.

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 restaurant itself is nice, the decoration seems a bit odd but overall matches the atmosphere of the whole place. The restroom is what felt a bit disappointing, it's shared with the restaurant next door which is totally fine, but none of both stalls had functioning paper towel dispensers and both were also kind of messy. For a restaurant that aspires to give this high end image, they really need to work on details like this. 3/5. The food was good, I liked it and I think the portions were good too, however they felt a bit overpriced for what they offered, but that's only a matter of perspective, I guess. Like I said, the flavor was good. 4/5.

    DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!
