Tres Tacos
Garry H.

Time to update the review. Haven't been here in about 3 years. That's a mistake. Place has been remodeled and it nice, in a sparse kind of way. Very minimal decorations on the walls, except lots of TV's! Your welcome sports heads! Waitress was quick and friendly. Special of the day was a Cuban burger. Huh? Let's try it. Brandon loved his Tres Tacos. John said the fish and chips were really good. The Cuban burger was Incredible!! Beef, pulled pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and their "special" sauce. It was delicious! The special sauce is really good! Fries were great too. We will definitely come back for more specials. If you can get downtown for lunch, do it!

Before it was Fat Bosses I'm guessing? I love the details

Nice little bar downtown that I caught for lunch with my British friend - we had to eat at the only pub downtown. At least I think it's the only place called a pub. Their fish and chips were done to my liking and I'll ensure that's where I go to get my fix in Abilene. The service was great and definitely friendly staff.

Better than any picture you'll get inside.

Satirday-11:15 So, came here think it would be better than my other experiences with fat boss bars, but nah. Pretty much, same shit service, packed and hard to get through, smells like old beer, obnoxious crowd, and "reserved seating" on table not occupied. So yeah, pass on fat boss places in general.

Think we found our new home for Bible and Brew Meets! https://www.facebook.com/abilenebibleandbrew/

Manager is very cordial and accommodating. Since Barley Hoppers closed they are allowing us to use their upstairs loft for Bible and Brew meetings every first Wednesday of the month! Food gets better and better! https://www.facebook.com/abilenebibleandbrew/ Salud!

Patty melt
Jason D.

I was genuinely surprised when I entered the pub. It was very expansive and well furnished. It's much bigger inside that it looks like it would be. High quality TV screens and one large projector were playing ESPN, so I'm sure this is a great place to watch the game. It was also very clean, it looks at first like it might be a little dark for the afternoon, but once your seated the large windows bring in just enough light to set a good mood. You are in a bar, but it feels like a comfortable restaurant at the same time. The waitress was quick to take our orders and checked on us frequently throughout the meal. I ordered the fried pickles and the fat boss melt. The fried pickles were good perfectly! A real stand out. They were obviously very fresh and tasted perfect. This was a cut above the average fried pickle. Super hot and right out of the fryer! Prefect! The patty melt was also very solid. It had a nice quality beef and a rye bread. The secret to the success on this dish was the jalapeño grilled and placed on top. It had a really nice back end heat! A very enjoyable experience. Although I don't go to bars, this would be a great place to go if I did. Recommended!

Chicken salad lunch special.

The chipotle hollandaise on eggs benedict with pulled pork and jalapeño hashbrowns was incredible.

Winchester Pub And Grill - Buffalo wings

Winchester Pub And Grill

(22 reviews)

OK I don't rave about places often, but Winchester Pub and Grill (3362 Rebecca Lane) is on point!…read moreYes, it's a pub / grill and the food is humble, a tiny bit pricey, but man is it worth it! We went in for lunch and had the smoked bacon wrapped peppers, two drinks, I had the shaved ribeye with onion rings (SOOOOO many onion rings!), my husband had the 12-piece wings (way bigger than Wingstop wings) with sweet potato waffle fries. The bill was around $55 for all of it. I have never had a "ribeye" sandwich before that was really ribeye, but this was! so tender and juicy and not chewy or grizzly at all! I could only eat half of it; it was so big! We both brought enough food home for dinner too! This thing was over 8 inches long. We are from Buffalo NY and my husband said the "buffalo wings" were spot on. The smoked bacon wrapped peppers? OMG sooooooo good! THICK slices of bacon, you could taste the smoke and even with the generous sized pepper the bacon covered the whole thing. I scarfed them down so fast I got the picture after I had already eaten a few lol. The only tiny issue I had was the onion rings and waffle fries were cooked just a tad browner than I like them but it was no real biggie. All in all, great food, prices were good for the value they give, and the owner is a wonderful lady who dotes on you the whole time you are there! GO!!!

Great atmosphere. Family run business that focuses on the customer. Better than your average pub…read morefood.

We went to Abilene for a night and stopped at The Taylor County Taphouse since this place was…read morerecommended by locals on various social media. Ambiance: Bar/pub vibes - heavy wood decor. Casual. We sat at the bar and our bartender was amazing! He was funny and attentive despite being very busy! Service: The restaurant was so busy with diners even at 8:30 PM on a Saturday evening. I did not expect it to be this busy in my head. My husband and I sat at the bar since that was open seating and there were no sit down tables available inside or on the patio. The restaurant will add you to the waitlist if you'd like! Food: My husband and I shared the deviled eggs appetizer, and "the burger" with grilled jalapeños and pepper jack cheese. The deviled wggs (satan's huevos) were good, and spicy because we chose the "hellfire" option. The burger was huge! I'm glad my husband I split it because there was no way I'd finish that burger on my own! We both left content and not stuffed.

My wife and I came here on a Saturday early afternoon. We were sat and handed brunch menus which…read moredidn't have the Philly cheese steak on it. We looked at the menu online prior to coming and knew that we both wanted to try the cheese steak, so this was a bit of a bummer. They waitress who was very attentive told us that we can't order from the full menu for another 30 minutes so we decided to wait rather than leave. Listen, I get it the idea of having a different menu for brunch, but why not post it on your website and state the specific times for each menu? Also, what difference does 30 minutes make? They couldn't fire up the grill 30 minutes early? It wasn't very busy. Anyways, now for the good part: When we were finally allowed to order our sandwiches they were absolutely amazing. The steak was high quality and the gooey cheese had a ton of flavor. What wasn't amazing however was the bill. $20 for a sandwich and a small portion of fries in Abilene is absolute insanity. What's even crazier is we were charged extra for a side of ranch! I understand you get what you pay for, and there's no arguing the quality of the sandwich was top notch, but at the end of the day it's still just a sandwich. If you're good with dropping nearly $60 (including tip) on lunch, then this is your spot. For me, I'll take my business elsewhere.
