Gloria's Grill - Cheeseburger Combo - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Finally tried Glorias. The burger was great, and I have not found a great burger in Abilene. Oldtime burger, with a buttery bun and great flavor. read more

For the first time I stopped by Gloria's today for lunch after reading so many great reviews. Place was busy and there was no line to order food so I ordered a Cheeseburger combo. That was the best part of my experience. Well after 50 minutes of waiting I had to go back up to the counter and ask for my order to be changed to a TOGO order as I had get home. FYI there were three other customers waiting there that long as well one of which asked for his money back and left. So I finally get my Cheeseburger combo and take it home to eat. It was a tasty burger with the fries a little stiff for my liking, but by the time I got home the bottom bun had turned to mush. Not the best experience. read more

Not open at night so you gotta do the lunch thing. Glorias really does make a mean cheeseburger. Thats all I have tried but they have a good assortment of sandwiches if you want something different. See you there! read more

This is my update, I hate having to do bad reviews, but that's life... First, I walked in the door and was blasted in the face with a heat that was greater than outside the establishment. (Was a balmy 80f on that afternoon.) They either had the AC shut off, or it was broken and in need of repair, either way, that was my first impression. But, the place had about 20 people eating at the tables, so I fought my instincts and made my way too a table. (This is when things got worse, let me explain in greater detail...) I made my way too a table, because I did not see any signs saying "please wait to be seated", so I sat down, and waited for about 20 minutes, as a server passed me on many occasions, I figured she was just really busy and didn't want to get sidetracked.. BUT, then I saw a party of four, enter the door, and head straight to the counter in back, I figured they were grabbing food to go. NO, apparently in this place, you head to the counter, make your order, then pay, and find a seat. There are no signs that I noticed, saying such, and the waitress didn't bother telling me....for 20 minutes..a kind lady at the booth across from me verified my suspicions about this entire ordeal, and how I had screwed up. Anyways, I got up and ordered my burger and onion rings. I ate them. I left. (Yes, this is my way of politely leaving a bad food review) I have a feeling the positive reviews are by people who work here. Anyways, lesson learned. 2 stars are only because the girl at the counter was very polite and friendly with me. I just realized I was so unhappy with my ordeal, I didn't get any photos to post. Anyways, on to the next stop... read more

Gloria's Grill - a view of the outside of a restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

First and last order from Gloria's. Important note: I ordered Gloria's through DoorDash. Whether Gloria's or the delivery service is more responsible for the problems is tough to say. I'm sure each will blame the other. So it seemed only fair to leave a full review in both places. We ordered a plain cheeseburger and then a cheeseburger combo with a Diet Coke. When the order arrived we had two combos with Pepsi. Driver said that they were out of Diet Coke but that the person at the restaurant said they knew us and we'd like the Pepsi. They don't. We didn't. Neither burger was plain. Since I can't eat their burger with everything on it, I was left with an order of fries for lunch. The fries were warm but bland and tasteless. My wife enjoyed the onion rings and said the burger was ok. read more

This is your classic burger spot. Not a place you will take your out of town friends but good enough for a quick lunch. The prices are average and the food is about the same. Not bad at all. Just nothing to write home about. If you want a good old school burger then this is your spot. The ranch is not good, skip that one! read more

Great old fashioned burger. They have a following from a ton of regulars but at the same time make new customers feel welcomed.

Went for Dinner St Vincent Ballet Folklorico. Best Burgers in Abilene, Fresh , great service, clean, customers treated like Family. read more

Do the lack of reviews cause you to wonder?? It is because they have a steady stream of locals who make eating here a part of their life and haven't thought to share--maybe on purpose!?!? This is a hole in the wall hamburger joint across from the Taylor County Courthouse. It has a great reputation around town and has recently expanded its hours to evenings. Check and see because I think the days very. But they're open for lunch regularly. And it is a great lunch. Limited menu burgers, fries, some sandwiches, onion rings, etc. The service is quick. You order at the counter and self-serve your drink. The patty melt is amazing and the hamburgers are it only flavorful but generous with their meat. The onion rings are perfectly crunchy without being greasy and falling apart. I highly recommend it. I went with a group of coworkers with every person enjoyed what they had and spoke about coming back. It is a jewel in our community. read more

The burgers here are unbelievable. I travel the state along with all the burger places in Austin .... This place is tied for first place with Pappas Burger in Houston. I must admit I was a bit taken back with $10 for a cheeseburger, fries and a drink. Now that my belly is full ... I woulda paid $12 Make sure you get the onions grilled. The burgers were super hot and fresh with the bun grilled on the flat top blackening then around the edge. I'm in heaven. I'll definitely be back ! read more

BEST CHEESE BURGER IN ABILENE! Give them a try, you won't regret it. $10 gets you a cheeseburger, fries, and drink. So so so worth it.

Excellent grilled cheese and onion rings! Burger is very good also. The only thing preventing 5 stars is the price. $8.34 for grilled cheese combo with rings, $7.31 for grilled cheese combo with fries, and $10.00 for cheeseburger combo with fries. Update: Came back for another grilled cheese. They are crispy and buttery and perfect. Although it seems expensive for a grilled cheese, I enjoyed this sandwich more than many dishes I've paid much more for. read more

Gloria's Grill - Best grilled cheese - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Hidden gem for those who love great hamburgers! They make their own buns and every topping was exceptionally fresh! I decided to try a patty melt and it was the best I've ever had! Talked to the owner for awhile, they are so friendly. It was our first time and when we left we felt like part of the family! When people walked in they were calling each other by name, definitely a great mom & pop shop. A MUST TRY! read more

This a must TRY place to eat if you are ever in town! Not sure what makes their burgers so delicious but I'm guessing it's the bread and whatever type of butter or oil they grill the buns in!! read more

I've driven by this place many times but never stopped in until today. So glad I did! Food was fresh and delicious!

Haven't been here in a while, but I'm glad we stopped in. Super yummy! I had a party melt that was one of the best I have ever had. Clean tables and floors! I recommend Gloria's for quick and delicious eats! read more

I had a friend who swears by Gloria's as the best burgers in Abilene. I went once and was a little underwhelmed. It seemed like just a small notch above Whataburger. I was judging it based on the simplicity. Bag lettuce and store bought buns with decent fries. No frills compared to other local burger places. I don't know what I was expecting. When I went back to give it another shot I realized my folly. Gloria's is all about the meat. The hamburger patty in between the rest of the burger is one of the most flavorful I've had. Can't give it 5 stars because I really do think they could do their fries better, but the fancier places in town should take note of their meat. read more

I've been going to Gloria's for lunch for 10+ years. She still makes the best hamburger in Abilene, period. Be prepared for a slight wait during busy days, but it's worth it. read more

Best burgers in town! I'm so glad a coworker told me about this place. After trying it with her, I had to come back the next day with my husband to show him how great the food is! read more

Greasy and dirty. The food is just greasy and heavy. There were flies everywhere and an odor I couldn't quite identify. It is by the courthouse so I am sure it is a quick fix for all there but seriously...food is bad. read more

The burgers are absolutely fantastic, My favorite is the chili burger. I love the people; they are so sweet! The only disappointment that they are only open during lunch. read more

Fantastic small restaurant for the downtown area. Clean and great service. Timely on food delivery. Menu is simple but appropriate for the customers being served. Servers/waitresses are friendly, courteous, and conversational. Customer base appears to be local citizens that work downtown. Truly a bargain for consistently good food and friendly service. read more

my wife and mine's goto place for burgers (at lunch). good portions, and I really enjoy the chili cheeseburger combo.
