Skeets used to have two restaurants in Abilene, but both of them have closed. Now we drive about 10…read moremiles to Merkel because we enjoy the food so much. We usually start with fried mushrooms and ranch, because they are so good! They have several different hamburgers That are really good if that's what you're in the mood for. I have two favorites. First is the seafood platter. Two different kinds of battered fish and shrimp, always freshly fried and delicious. My second favorite is the vegetable chicken, which is a chicken breast covered in queso and then covered in sautéed vegetables. This dish is absolutely delicious! I normally get it every other time! Of course, the chicken fried steak is always good, be sure not to pass it up! Skeet's is certainly not a fancy place, but the food is sure worth it! Meet you there!

This has become a staple for lunch since we have been here a week. Great people and plenty of…read moreseating. The Lemon breast chicken is my all time favorite. Only wish is for lemonade but that's not a choice. Fairly priced and good portion sizes.

Being a smoker I love coming here to relax and smoke out of the heat. Came in today and I could…read moresmell what could only be described as sewer Stayed and had some tea and a smoke. The salt and pepper shakers are never clean. It's rather disturbing. Wish they would clean up things better and fix that smell.

Be fore warned. This is an old school, mom & pop truck stop. Everyone is welcomed the same, but…read morethis is not like stopping at a big, truck stop chain. Or fancy restaurant. Large paved parking lot for trucks all the way around the building. Plenty of up close parking for four-wheelers. The food is great. I had a chicken fried steak big enough it needs its own plate! Don't worry, they have a smaller one you can order. All the food was fresh and everything was clean. Facilities are adequate. Customer service is great. This is a smoking restaurant. They have signs on the door before you walk in. But, the restaurant is very well ventilated and the smoke isn't bad. Please remember, this is a place for truckers and that is mainly who they cater to. I'm sure anyone would be treated just as well; I just know it can be a culture shock to some people that aren't use to that type of environment.

Good chips, salsa and queso. Two of my friends got the hamburger and both proclaimed it to be…read moremediocre. The toasted ham and cheese sandwich was cold. The cheese was not melted completely and the fries were not done. Another guy got the street tacos and really enjoyed them and said they were good. So if you're going to eat here, the takeaway would be get some chips and queso and street tacos. The atmosphere is a bar, it is loud. There isn't really any waite staff. It's the bartender so you have to order at the bar. Everybody working here seem to be nice and the patrons were all locals. There's a couple of pool tables and a small dance floor. Remember this is a bar.

I underestimated this place when we first passed it on a road trip. My bad. It was delicious…read more Great service. The complimentary rolls are soft and sooo good. My hub and I shared a burger snd a chicken fried steak sandwich. The chicken fried steak was flavored well, breaded well, meat was tender. The burger was char-broiled, yum! Both sandwiches comes with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and pickles. They are served with your choice of side. I got onion rings which were the bomb, they were the crispy flaky kind. The breading held on the rings. The crinkle fries were seasoned well,just were delivered room temperature. The cheese on the burger was not melted, but keeping the top bun on it and being patient, it melted slightly enough. My hub raved about their fountain coke. Great experience and cost the same as a nearby sandwich chain.

Can see the servers standing at the bar snacking. So weird. Music so loud we couldn't hear waitress. Wish I had read the other reviews before we went. Training desperately needed.

We typically always get a steak. Yesterday the steak was burned on the outside and raw on the inside. The green beans were not cooked all they way, but the baked potato was good. Mind you there are times that we go in the steak and everything is fabulous. One thing I was disgusted about this particular visit was the Heinz 57 and A1 sauce I'll sit over by the register. They are not wiped down and bottles are disgusting. I made a huge mistake by pouring sauce on the steak and not on the side and it was expired. Along with 4 other bottles. It's hit or miss at this place. It's cash only.

If you haven't eaten here, you need too. Urban knows how to grill a steak. Even his sirloin will melt in your mouth. Shrimp boil is my hubs favorite. Fried squash and baked potatoes are always perfect and desert is a must. It's the perfect "whole in the wall" kind of place to get away for a delicious meal without having to drive to the city.
