    Grain Theory Lager
    Allen U.

    Visited the Cork & Pig in Abilene during their happy hour one Wednesday afternoon for a beer and pizza. Upon entering, the place is very modern has a culinary touch and the bar is pretty fancy, great to drink a cocktail or a cold draft beer. I ordered the local Grain Theory lager, with a salty rim, was really smooth and quenched perfect after a long day working outside. I ordered the pepperoni pizza on the happy hour menu as my entree. It was pretty good, baked perfectly and generous pepperoni topping. The bartender was friendly even knew about the Grain Theory Brewery in town. The food was good, beer was great and atmosphere was inviting, recommend you give it a try during happy hour, only a star drops as the pizza shown was on the menu for $14 however I was charged $15 otherwise a great place especially for a date.

    Fish tacos with lightly fried cauliflower Drizzled with aïoli sauce

    Our waitress was amazing. The food was equally amazing. I got the roasted chicken with parm mashed potatoes. The presentation was artistic and the flavor was superb. My wife ordered the fish tacos, blackened, the fish with salmon. It came with a side of flash fried cauliflower drizzled with aïoli sauce. The ambience was nice. The decor was nice. The restaurant was nice. The bathrooms were clean and nice. No paper napkins, here you are given cloth napkins. The restaurant had a lot of windows overlooking a pond with water fountains. When you're through eating, you can walk around the pond on a nice cement path lined with trees. This is a nice restaurant a little upscale, dress is nicer.

    Love this place. Especially in Abilene. Food: Everything was amazing. You can see pictures. The sauce on the roasted chicken was fire! Service: Evette was the bomb. I'll definitely request her when we come back. She's the one who recommended our appetizer and dinners! She was super sweet. Ambiance: This place is insane for Abilene lol. It feels like a different country. Be back very soon!

    Cork & Pig is by far one of the best restaurants in Abilene! Although, food quality has gone down recently. Calamari was served with more fried onion than calamari. Truffle fries came out cold. Pizza came without the fresh basil. Another visit, the pizza oven wasn't working! A few weird experiences that have been becoming consistent. Service is always good though! Atmosphere & location are both perfect! Hoping things improve back in the kitchen again!

    Without a doubt one of our favorite restaurants. The atmosphere is so relaxing with mood lighting for dinner, and plenty of space to enjoy our food. We are always very nicely greeted at the door and sit down to dine very quickly. The service is very nice and speedy, we've had multiple waiters but they have all excelled finely. The food is always so delicious, it makes me want to try something new every time and they never disappoint! Can't wait to be back!

    Carolina Pork Ribs with mashed potatoes
    Lindsay M.

    I really wanted to like this place but I was disappointed with my meal. This place is very nice inside and the service is great! I had the pork ribs and unfortunately the flavor was there but It was very dry and kinda burnt on top so I didn't enjoy It but the mashed potatoes were really good .

    What a little gem in Abilene, Texas everything we had on the menu was pretty delicious and there was definitely more I wanted to try unfortunately our server sucked and must've been having a bad day because she didn't know up and didn't tell us about the specials and was pretty much preoccupied the entire time, but the food was a shining star so next time we'll just order to go or sit at the bar

    Fruity Pebbles French Toast

    Wow I was pleasantly surprised!! If you are in the Abilene area this place is definitely one not to miss ! I'm so happy something of this scale has put some roots here ,.. From the atmosphere to the plates ! To the taste of the food or to the beautiful open kitchen n bar Don't be turned off from some of these low stars (which I don't even understand why or if we ate at the same place ) Coming from Austin to visit family this now is sure to be new spot for us to come to ,... -The kitchen : stunning ! Love to see an open concept with chefs doing their thing n the passion put into every dish -The atmosphere: casual with a splash of class I feel u can easily make it a date night spot or enjoy being there with a causal vibe -Prices : reasonable for the amount of food , quality and presentation - food; I don't think there was a dish on the table someone didn't like ,.. chef has a seasoned hand n attention to detail -Cleanliness ; detailed clean and the bathrooms well kept with beautiful napkins for hand w/ a personalized candle -Parking: its a multipurpose building so parking I will say is difficult depending on time but there is a fair amount of it -Customer service calling : friendly n great with reservations n lenient with text to confirm. - customer service when dining nothing much to say,... didn't go above n beyond no introduction Meh In all we'll be back n hopefully this wasn't beginners luck ina restaurant

    Nice looking place. Food quality was acceptable if a little over-priced. Service was extremely slow the night we visited.

    Service was great. The waitress was helpful and took care of us. The margarita pizza is delicious…read more My husband had a specialty pizza and ate it all. We have been to Vagabond's numerous times. We are never disappointed. Highly recommend. By the way, their bread and butter is to die for. Hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    The last stop during my Abilene day trip was the wood-fire pizzeria Vagabond. We arrived at…read moreVagabond exactly at 6:00 pm, impressed by their cork decor outside the shop. We were immediately greeted by the server and seated just as quickly. The place was pretty busy, as one would expect on a Saturday at 6 pm, so it was great to be seated right away. The table was already set with two water cups, two plates, two sets of silverware, and two napkins, so we didn't have to set the area ourselves. Our server came shortly after with a large glass bottle of water and took our drink orders. My girlfriend got a bottled Dr. Pepper while I stuck to water. I also noticed they serve plenty of wines as well as a good selection of craft beers. They have ten different specialty pizzas, and we settled on their most expensive: the Carnivore. I say most expensive, but it was $20 for a pizza that fed two. It took about 10-15 minutes before the pizza came out, which is impressively fast. All pizzas are about 12 inches and are sliced into sixes. If you're hungry, consider an appetizer or a dessert, but to us, it was a perfect size with plenty of meat. The crust is thin and crispy, as one would expect from a wood-fire pizza. It was really excellent. For dessert, my girlfriend and I ordered their Saturday Morning Cartoons, which is a panna cotta with Fruity Pebbles that I enjoyed but she adored (I let her eat most of it). All in all, the meal was around $30 plus the tip I added. We were in and out in under 40 minutes, which was quite impressive for a sit-down pizza restaurant. I highly recommend this to anyone living in or visiting Abilene. P.S. My girlfriend wanted my Yelp review to note that their women's bathroom has hair ties, bobby pins, a Tide pen, and other items that you never know you'll need until you do, which gives Vagabond extra brownie points for going above and beyond. RIYL: An affordable meal for two.

The beef quality was superb--thick-cut, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned without overpowering its natural flavor. While the edges were cooked slightly beyond medium due to the uneven cut, that's a very minor critique. The grilled asparagus was delicious, and the green chile hominy was absolutely amazing.

We took the onions and cucumbers off our salad due to dietary issues and that left us with lettuce, mushrooms, and dressing. Our burger was the best part. It was cooked well, and the bun was soft. The strawberry shortcake was disappointing. The fruit was stewed and the biscuits were hard with just room temp heavy cream to offset the temperature of the fruit. For ambiance, it was nothing to write home about. Very busy and very loud, but it was a Saturday evening so that was to be expected. What I didn't expect was the lack of air conditioning in July. It was over 100 degrees that day, and it was cooler outside. Unacceptable for Texas in July when you're seating tables 3' from each other. Our server was good. She was attentive, and kept our water glasses filled. We may try again once the weather cools down.
