For starters the menu is great, there's a lot to choose from and the pictures online make it hard to choose because everything looks amazing! Since I was undecided, I asked our waitress what she'd recommend and she didn't disappoint. I got the stuffed avocado with chicken salad and wow, the flavors between the chicken salad and hot sauce on top were perfectly balanced 8/10. I also enjoyed the prickly pear lemonade, it was so fresh for the hot summer days. Definitely a nice spot for lunch or even for dinner, plus the service was so good. Everything came out quick and our server was very attentive, even while bartending. Highly recommend and I'm definitely going back to try the dinner menu. read more

Great food! Awesome atmosphere! Top tier service! They have it all here. They also feature a diverse drink menu with a ton of beer, wine and spirits to choose from. I am also told that they routinely rotate the menu to keep it fresh and interesting. I really enjoyed my scallops with gnocchi and I'd recommend that to anyone. I'd definitely return to try some of the other delicious items. read more

This is an excellent change of pace for my husband and myself! My husband had the fish ( like sea bass) and I had the Harvest wrap. Both tasty and filling. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Staff/Leslie was amazing and very attentive! Will be back and the desert was scrumptious! A++ and . Thank you! read more

Yes, you can get fresh seafood in Abilene. The wine list is well selected. I do not usually have cocktails but almost always have one before dinner here; try an Abilene Reviver or a Sazerac. The dining room is comfortable with a mix of wood paneling, exposed brick, and curved glass that can host a casual or formal dinner. The staff is friendly and patient and will serve you a three course meal in 45 minutes or two hours, whichever pace you prefer. read more

Ordered to-go for lunch so I could try out their burger for the Burger Brawl and it is SO GOOD, wow!!! Look at that picture, heavenly! As always, the staff is friendly, personable, and quick. I've been here at least 40 times, I have had meetings here, date nights, drinks with friends, ordered catering, and I've never had a bad experience. They're great!! read more

I had a personal tour guide to find that restaurant. When I called them, they helped me by coming out of the restaurant going 2 blocks to where I was and leading me back to their restaurant. That was the first amazing thing - then the food was delicious! Some of the best I've ever had. Fondue appetizer Barramundi and chicken salad. And then the waiter gave us a free dessert. Also amazing. I highly recommend this place. Beautiful ambience as well read more

In town to see family and looked for a place to eat with a variety on the menu. We didn't know it was happy hour but that was great. Tried the ahi appetizer. Yum. Steak and potato quesadilla. Delicious with the avocado aioli and horseradish. Ordered the southern hot mess 1/2# burger with pimento cheese and a fried green tomato drizzled with spicy Russian and lettuce/ tomato. Can with great house made chips. Crunchy with a misquote flavor. Then the stuffed avocado on a bead of lettuce and a Rueben. Finished it off with the pecan pieces with vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream, bourbon chocolate cake and turtle topped vanilla bean cheesecake! Bagged up the leftovers. Yes! Go here to eat. Staff is very friendly, clean and cool decor. read more

We were looking for a place for a Saturday night date night. We found this spot and were able to get a reservation at 5 PM in the bar. We were greeted right as we walked in the door, shown to our table, and instantly welcomed by the 2 wonderful servers in the bar. It was happy hour, so we ordered the Prickly Pear Lemonade & Old Fashioned from the HH menu. Both were great! My husband ordered the Ahi appetizer and said it was amazing. He also ordered the special that night which was a quail dish; he loved it. I had the Farmhouse pasta and it was fabulous. The second a drink was close to being empty or a plate was finished, someone came and took care of it right away. The staff were so friendly, the male server in the bar (I am blanking on his name) chatted with my husband about college football. He knew we were from Seattle and he was a huge Cooper Kupp fan. We really enjoyed visiting with him. We rarely order dessert, but they had a glazed donut with vanilla ice cream and caramel that was to die for! I can't wait to go back to Abilene just to eat at Cypress Street Station. It was the best meal of the trip. read more

Consistently great in menu, atmosphere, and service. You can't go wrong with this Abilene mainstay.

Cypress Street Station checks all the boxes! The food is wonderful. The menu is outstanding and the chef goes above and beyond with creating specials that are exceptional. But the experience goes beyond the food. We have never had the type of service at any other restaurant. We have a favorite server, Trey, who we ask for every time we go in. He is amazing and always makes our experience the best!! The owner, Terry, came over to meet us on our first visit. We talked about wine and food. Now he always has the great bottle of wine to suggest for our meal and takes the time to talk with us when we are there. Put this restaurant on your list of must go places. You won't be disappointed! read more

What an unexpected find in Abilene. Very tasteful restaurant with attentive staff, especially bartender Chloe. We were greeted separately by what I assume were the owners, asking how everything was. Happy Hour menu had some tempting offers. We got the bruschetta which had loads of tomatoes but could have used a bit more pesto & Parmesan. The entree salads were simple but with very fresh lettuce. The chicken atop was plump, hot and perfectly cooked. Some added onion would have been nice. Dressings were very good. I recommend this spot in downtown read more

Had the Lunchtime special; was cheesy grits and shrimp! amazing, need to keep this one on the menu! Good price and decent portions. Service was excellent, friendly, and fast;) atmosphere is business casual/casual and smartly decorated read more

Meh. The food was fine, but the ambiance was like eating at a dusty old Steak & Ale. Our ticket for two people was $130 with tip, which was about $60 too high for the service and experience. I knew we were doomed when my $15 cocktail was served in an iced tea glass with a wedge of lemon--a real lack of artistry (and very weak). The overall experience just so blah. The food was ok (although saying the toast the bruschetta was served on is "ciabatta" is a real stretch). I've definitely had much better in Abilene. Save your money. read more

Visit #1- Oct 4.22 I came here for late lunch, and there were no crowds. The service was fast and very attentive. I ordered the Rainbow trout and substituted fries for a double salad. I must say that I was not super impressed since the fish was not fresh and drier than expected. The salad tastes precise how it looks in this picture. I will give another chance to this place since they have a diverse menu. My first impression is not the greatest, but second chances are essential in all relationships. Visit #2- Oct 10.22 I visited Cypress Street for the second time. I believe we all deserve a second opportunity. I ordered the special of the day, which was Mahi Mahi. I liked the plate in general. The fish was well-cooked, and the pasta was tasty. I think the fish could have had a bit more spices to remove the solid fishy flavor, but it was ok. I do not believe this dish should be almost fifty dollars. I will give this place a third chance. I am not impressed by the venue or the food, but I am impressed with its prices. Visit #3- Oct 18.22 A couple of friends invited me for lunch at Cypress Street for my birthday. My salad was the special of the day. The waitress did a great job in describing the dish, and she was correct; the salad was delicious. Of course, we had a good time in conversation. The venue is always busy but not loud. We finished our food and requested the check, which Amanda, the owner, brought in person. Amanda was very generous and even offered free dessert for my birthday. That type of hospitality is what makes businesses stand out. The third time was charm. read more

so we went last evening to have a Birthday dinner and total slip up. We had to wait to be seated prior to 6 and once seated no one came. Everyone around us were being served and we just kept waiting. I finally flagged down a waitress after 15 minutes and here comes the manager saying we weren't assigned. i have been to several steak restaurants but this type of service is unacceptable.. Just to walk by several times and not stop and ask is crazy. It was early no less. I won't be going back. read more

First time in Abilene and dining at Cypress Street Station for dinner. First night, we ordered the scallops, shrimp cocktail appetizers and salads for dinner. The seafood was quality, service and accomodations they provided excellent. We were so pleased we had lunch as well. Abilene has some great food spots and this is definitely at the top of my list. read more

What a cute little restaurant! The day we arrived, it was POURING rain outside. We weren't expecting too many people to be at the restaurant but it was packed. Parking was difficult to find. They had a good variety of cocktails and they were delicious. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and a cup of the Portuguese clam chowder. I had never had clam chowder like that before but it was delicious! If I am ever in town again, I would definitely stop by! read more

Stopped him for a late midday lunch at 1:30pm and was seated promptly. Excellent service. Really enjoyed my locally brewed "Stripper dust" vanilla Porter by Pappy Slokum. Very smooth with a great finish. The "Southern Hot Mess" Burger was very tasty and juicy. Ask for more Russian dressing. The small serving of fries was a dollar extra, but they were at least crisp and served warm. Nice, clean restaurant in an old, historic part of town. read more

This little slice of heaven is completely unique, underrated and my favorite restaurant in Abilene. We had a group of 8 and had no problem getting in at last minute. The other restaurant- name not mentioned- is not near as wonderful a dining experience for us non locals. The Barramundi was perfect. The Coule was beyond any expectations. Seriously, this is a must stop and enjoy treat with great service, excellent food and great prices for the most delicious and wonderful meal we all agreed was beyond expectations. Please go. Keep this on your list as the top dining experience in Abilene read more

First time in Abilene and trying t o find local grub. Found this little gem and it did not disappoint. We ordered the sweet chili calamari for an appetizer. The calamari was delicious and flavorful. We also got some complementary jalapeño cornbread which was fluffy and yummy. For our main entree my son and I ordered the Bayou Florentine pasta. The portions were generous and the meal was mouthwateringly delicious. To stay with the New Orleans theme I ordered a hurricane and let me tell you it was potent! The experience was complete thanks to our awesome waitress Kaitlyn. She was so attentive and nice. She told about the town and things to do. Great experience! read more

Ambiance of this place is fantastic! Just down the street from the historic Paramount Theater, in the heart of the downtown district. Great place with large windows to let in light and views of Cypress Street. Food is fantastic! Steaks, chicken, seafood, does not matter, it is all really good! Desserts and drinks are also first rate. Service is wonderful, and the food comes out quickly. If you're in Abilene, whether for your first time or 100th time, Cypress St. is a place you need to visit! read more

Cypress Street offers a cozy darker atmosphere with great service. The food was good, but we felt as if it wasn't living up to its fullest potential. The idea of the food is wonderful and the menu offers a range of delicious choices, but the quantity and flavor is not being fully implemented. We loved the creamy peanut butter dressing on the Thai Chicken Salad, but felt as if it needed more to it. Maybe the addition of fresh veggies.. carrots, cucumber? The Autumn Harvest Wrap sounds like a delicious mix of flavors, but it was really lacking on a wow factor that could've made the sweet and savory foods come together. The homemade chips that came with the wrap were simply delicious, sweet yet salty! I feel as if Cypress Street really has the potential to thrive and be must go to restaurant downtown. read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant. Our server was fantastic!!!! Everything was very good. The roasted garlic ranch is so delicious. I will definitely dine here again. The drinks and the food along with the service are so great! The only suggestion I have would be to expand the options for sides. Sometimes you just want a nice steak with a loaded baked potato on the side. But overall, great experience! read more

We had extended family in town and made same day reservations for 19 people. The restaurant was accommodating and the wait staff did a great job. My immediate family now lives in Houston, where we have access to excellent restaurants. I have to say that this restaurant is very good, even in comparison to Houston restaurants! There were so many different dishes ordered. Those who had the calamari said it was excellent! My husband had the petite filet and it was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. I had the quail and it was so delicious! Everyone in our group raved about their food! The restaurant has a good wine list and those who ordered cocktails, said they were good. Nobody had any complaints about the food! The ambiance is very nice- upscale. Some places say they're fine dining but this place IS fine dining! We will definitely be back! If you haven't tried this restaurant, you're missing out! read more

If I could give 6 stars I would. The beautiful restaurant in charming downtown Abilene, the attentive, friendly wait staff, and the truly amazing food. The trout was finished to perfection and the fries were perfect, done in the French way for real. There are many nods to Louisiana in the menu, rounding out the delicious culinary options here. Dessert was amazing as well. Eat here and be delighted! read more

Cypress Street Station just keeps outdoing themselves. The food is ALWAYS amazing, the service is ALWAYS impeccable and the crowd is always fun. It's my go-to lunch place.

They also serve a great old-fashioned! 5 stars is an easy pick here! read more
