Using my perfect eye sight (according to the DMV) and deductive reasoning, I am going to say with confidence, that this place is CLOSEDOWN. Yelp may say it's open, but trust me, I am sitting in the parking lot as I type this, nobody here. Even had a guy pull up and asked me if I was the guy he was supposed to meet so he could load the booths up on his trailer to haul away. Oh, and there is a sign on the door, will post a pic. read more

Heff's Burgers - I have no idea how long it's been like this, there is no date and I'm not from this side of town. - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

I'm in Abilene every year at this time and treat college students to a meal at Heff's Burger. This time, we had 9 people with a variety of combinations of food and sides. When the young lady brought out food, the burgers and sides were all mixed up....she had the order slip and attempted to organize things several times... And provided an extra side and the last order we needed...but the fries were cold, the onion rings weren't as good as usual, and a couple of us didn't ever get what we ordered. I look forward to a root beer...but all I got was carbonation....no root beer syrup. My burger was greasy. I'm disappointed! Hope it was just a bad night. I've always been satisfied in the past... This wasn't even like the same restaurant! Please make it better. read more

Wow! It's been six years since I reviewed this place. Well, it's still 4 stars! All the Heff's in town are everywhere except where I live. I have to drive across town to eat at one. And I do. They have always had a great selection of burgers, and my favorite is the Bucket Burger. But I go to Heff's for the steak fingers. Steak fingers and gravy, fries and gravy, and toast and gravy! Definitely my favorite meal at Heff's. I really like the way the dining room is decorated. I hear people gripe about Heff's on Antilley Rd, but this location has never done me wrong. Let's go get a burger....or maybe some steak fingers! read more

First time eating there and that was the best burger I've had all year. Fresh, cooked to order, juicy, and tasted like beef should taste. I stumbled upon it on the way to my hotel and am glad I stopped. read more

Good burger the fries were pretty fresh and crispy and the jalapeño bun was actually good and soft ! The meat wasn't seasoned the best personally but overall a decent burger read more

Over 30 minutes waiting on a to go order and when I enquired was told still 3 more orders ahead of me. Pay above average prices and receive well below average service. Probably not the best business model. read more

Had the Bucket Burger with chili cheese tots. Great food, super fresh bun, excellent service. So why not FIVE stars? I've driven by the place several times recently and it honestly looks closed. Never more than a car or two in the parking lot. Super dark parking lot. Blinds drawn on most windows, and very poor lighting inside. Inside, half the chairs are up in tables, half the lights are off or burnt out, and those that are on are all different shades of yellow and bluish white. It is almost like the place wants to be out of business. Very poor way to market an otherwise excellent eatery! read more

I went in yesterday to order food..the chef was cussing on the phone bragging about how much they made that day red flag 1..the lady working the front counter didn't see us and we were standing there for a while waiting red flag 2..I start to order and she starts telling me the long list of things they don't have and the fry machine is broken and that's strike 3 and I'm out. I literally walked out. Do better if you want to stay in business. I noticed no one was there and I see why. read more

Very good burgers, nice size and reasonably priced, twisted taters were really good too, Happy we stopped here.. It was clean & with neat decor also! They also have crushed ice for their drinks and a cooler with about 10 flavors of ice cream.. :) read more

Not good. Traveling through Abilene and figure - college town, local burger joint, good Yelp reviews - what could go wrong? It is really hard to get down to 2 stars with me. I ordered the "Texas Twister Fries". The picture on the big menu on the wall resembles a basket of fries from spiral sliced potato. Or so I thought. It is potato chips. Cold crisp potato chips. And not particularly good ones. How do you call that fries? I know they call fries chips in England but this definitely ain't England. I was livid. They also have 'House Recipe' ketchup from Sysco; letting me know they don't care about me enough to spring for the extra fifty cents for Heinz. The burger was OK in a high school cafeteria kind of way but I can't get past the "fries". No excuse. None. read more

Solid burger- nicely cooked and seasoned. The sides were excellent. I'm a bit of an onion ring snob and they were great. Real ranch dressing, special burger sauce. And the buns are amazing....gotta be from a local bakery. read more

Great burgers, they were out of onion rings and strawberry ice cream for shakes but the food itself was good.

The mushroom Swiss burger is great! I recommend with the twister fries and an extra side of their special sauce.

Heff's was highly recommended by my colleagues, so we decided to grab lunch. We were not disappointed. Burgers : I ordered the Bucket burger. The jalapeno bun makes that big difference! The burger was great and prepared to perfection. My friend ordered the Double Meat burger and enjoyed it as well. Sides : I tried the Twister fries and the tater tots. Personally liked the tots better. Heff's sauce : Forget about ketchup.... just go for the Heff's sauce. The sauce made all the difference to the meal. They also sell the sauce for $6 a bottle. Loved it! Shakes : Was not very impressed with the shakes. Only reason for the 4 star. Service : Friendly and courteous. Ambience : A nice lil place with ample parking. They have outdoor seating which was perfect for the weather. Definitely recommend Heff's if you are in the Abilene area. read more

The burgers were fresh and delicious! The condiments were abundant and added amazing flavor. Best burger I've had in a long time. The tater tots were delicious also. I didn't care for the home style fries however. Soggy and not very flavorful. read more

30 minutes for a burger. Finally get food and it wrong. They said it was because of a shift change, but it's the same employees who weew here when we ordered. Wife never got her food. read more

We ordered online and it was supposed to take 15 min. We didn't receive our order for 35 min. The burgers were burnt, the bacon was under cooked, the fries were soggy, and my son's corn dog was so over cooked that it was black. The soda machine was out of syrup. On top of all that, it was way overpriced. We will not be going there again. read more

Great burger! I had the Western. Home fries were pretty good. Heard some folks complaining about soured tea but I didn't try it myself.

Best pit spot! Burgers were SO good! El Heffe burger was the best! Sweet potato fries & tater tots were delicious. The burgers were very filling & tasting! read more

A bit underwhelmed. On line order could "not be seen" although payment went through so I had to re-place order at register. Fine, technology fails us sometimes. Sent out the door without the drink and no cutlery for salad. Is it my fault for not catching the drink? Probably but after 10+ hour drive, too tired to care. Also fries a bit underdone. But...salad was pretty good once I got a fork! read more

Momma Heff is a very sweet lady, met her a few times at the mall location and she played for us a beautiful song on the piano. I know....I said piano! The idea of having an ice cream bar and for ice cream socials with friends at the mall is a very good idea. Made with Blue Bell of course. The salad bar is new and very nice choices to accommodate anyones taste buds. Also on Monday night they have Jindo bingo froM your phone and can win a $20 gift card at the end of the night or free ice cream. So, here's the bad....service. Expect long delays when you order, the staff is all over the place because I think the inexperience and maybe the customers keep asking for one off things which makes the staff run around and forget other customers??? Either way, I've heard others in town day the same and will not go back because of the staff shortage and the attitudes. Stinks....we need more people like them but I think this is not going to change. The live music nights is a hit, but some improvements are needed and it won't happen overnight. read more

Wow oh wow. This place is AMAZING! Great food. Quick service. Very clean environment. The social awareness of this place has grown so much. Awesome bar scene great live music read more

Sourdough burger will change your life!! We were able to bring our fur baby on their patio!

I'd been to the Heff's in Sweetwater before, so I had high expectations with this Abilene location. Initially, I though the menu was more creative--most of the burgers here were basic, common styles. Nonetheless, I happily ordered the sourdough burger and was not disappointed by the choice! The bun was absolutely delicious, and the meat was well seasoned and juicy--very flavorful. The sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly and were quite yummy as well. Service was fairly quick, but it was also 2pm. My husband liked his burger was said the regular fries were seasoned very well. Overall, the experience was very good. I would definitely recommend this to my friend in or traveling through Abliene. read more

We stopped here on Labor Day, and it was so so. The burgers were good. The fries are fresh but not at all crispy and stuck together. My kids didn't care for them much. The kid's burger was on a full sized bun, so we needed to tear off about an inch around the patty to make it visible. My husband ordered the El Heffe burger which came missing avocado. He requested it for the side to put on himself, and there were several brown spots which could have easily been cut before serving to a guest. There were several tables that had not been wiped down in the dining room, and the restroom was out of paper towels. I might give it another shot if we were in Abilene, but I'd probably try somewhere else first. read more

Not from here and tried Heff's because it was recommended by my Airbnb hosts. I ordered online to pick up later and specified a time. I arrived about ten minutes before the time I asked for fully expecting to wait a few more minutes. However, my order was already sitting in a bag on the counter. It wasn't terrible but it was definitely cold and had been sitting around a long time. Maybe don't order ahead. read more

Love the burgers and rings here. The shakes are good, too. Their specialty burgers are the best. They are real burgers, not preformed patties like Whataburger. They are just like mom used to make. Awesome! read more

Super fast service. Great burger! They were out of chocolate for a chocolate shake but instead subbed with a salted caramel (they asked) happy little surprise! read more

Amazing burgers and sides. Been here multiple times! The service the sucks every time but I return for the food.

I got the Western Burger. Pretty good. Most places you get a Western Burger it comes with bacon, this did not, still good. Seasoned fries were tasty...reminiscent of Arby's seasoning. Got a scoop of Blue Bell Ice Cream, scoop was kinda small but tasty. Overall good food. Restaurant has a kitschy 50's-ish vibe. read more

The food was so good. Burger quality? Slay. Service? Hits. FRANKLIN? LOVE. Vibes? On point. 10/10.

aye they was lying about the rates burger was dryer than a hot summer day in tx and restrooms were dirty and that was a chum bucket burger

We stopped for dinner on our way through Abilene. It was really good!! We loved the decor and the staff was very friendly. The burgers had a wonderful flavor and not greasy at all. The onion rings were hand battered and tasted amazing. The salad was fresh with homemade ranch dressing. Their special sauce was a little spicy for my taste, but my son And husband loved it. My only complaint was my egg was over cooked on the burger. Should have been over medium not over hard. All in all, a wonderful dinner!! read more

I was going to give this place 1 star, but my wife made her point that 1) nothing catastrophic happened and 2) the food was edible (not good, but edible). First, it took 30 minutes to get our order of 2 burgers and 2 sides. Both orders were wrong in some way - wrong bread or no jalapeños on the jalapeño cheddar burger. The meat was extremely lacking in flavor and way too done. There was no juice whatsoever. It was also $25 for our meal, when I could have gotten the same thing at Whataburger for half the price and less than half the time. And better tasting for sure. I'd also like to note the dead flies in the light fixture above our table are pretty gross and the fans are really, really due for a dusting. Bottom line: not worth it. read more

Sooooooooooooo good!!! The fact they have gluten free buns is even more of a treat! Fun 50s atmosphere & even better food. read more

The burger wasn't bad once we requested the lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion it was supposed to come with, but I definitely do not recommend the twisted fries (basically chips). The service was amicable; however, I ordered online for pickup at 12 noon. I get a text message at 11:30 saying my order is ready. I had to stop what I was doing to call and let them know I wouldn't be there until noon so I also do not recommend ordering in advance. It's hard to say if my order was actually redone, but they did say they would recook it. read more

Working in Abilene this week and craved a burger. This place was down the street from the Marriott so I gave it a try. I ordered the double meat burger combo with pepper jack, all the vegetables, mayo, mustard, and ketchup. The burger was a good size and couldn't wait to take a bite. The meat was moist and had very little seasoning. I think that's the only flaw to this burger...no seasoning. If they just added something simple as seasoning salt, this burger would be off the charts. Aside from seasoning, this burger wasn't bad. The french fries on the other hand were just blah. No seasoning. I added salt but that didn't help. I used the spicy ranch, still not good. Finally added ketchup, no help. I would recommend not getting any fries or chips. It's not worth it. I would come here again. Since this was my first experience, I can't say how consistent they are, but I had a good cook tonight. read more
