    36-ounce porterhouse when I was less than halfway to finishing it.
    Evan R.

    Good food, but outstanding service. I had a 36-ouce porterhouse with a unique style of seasoning. Lowake apparently seasons its steaks AFTER cooking, rather than before. This way, the seasoning doesn't drip into the fire. My steak was good -- medium rare and well-seasoned. The staff, however, was the real highlight here. Every staff member was very friendly and very helpful. I'd be happy to go back.

    Huge steak portion.

    My daughter and her family use to live in the area and when I would visit we would come here at least one's while I was in. It has been awhile but I was working in the area and it's one, if not the only, place open on Sunday. What I remember the most is service and KC steaks are great. I was not disappointed. In fact, other than needing a little more salt, I think the steak was better. It was cooked perfect so juicy and omg the portion size. I can eat on this the rest of the week. I sit at the bar because I know it can get busy and I hate taking up a table because I like to take my time. The young lady working behind the bar was also working the floor. She was still fabulous. Her Name was Kelsey and good at her job for sure. The only complaint is the salad bar. It's very skimpy with limited choices so it needs to look appealing and it was a wreck. It wasn't super busy at the time either. I didn't dock a star because the jalapeño ranch made up for it.

    So, me, Glenda, and Susan next door did the shopping thing in Ballinger. I had my heart set on Beefmasters steakhouse, but I got outvoted. Glenda and Susan wanted Lowake. We grabbed a table and ordered KC for three. Lots of meat! The salad bar Is still good and I LOVE the jalapeño ranch dressing. We pigged out and still had a ton of meat left over. Prices have sure gone up, but that's true everywhere. If your ever out in the middle of West Texas nowhere, Lowake is the place to eat! Chow time!

    Lowake Steak House has been serving steaks since 1951. They boast themselves as the best steak you'll ever eat. While they have a decent steak, it is no where close to being the best. The steaks are tender and cooked well; however lack any seasoning. They are pan seared so no grill marks or flavoring from being cooked on a grill. Even a flavorful seasoned butter melted on top would add a great bit of flavor, unfortunately, there wasn't any of that either. The baked potatoes were overcooked. Salad bar was self serve and mediocre. The sourdough rolls were good. We arrived at the first part of the dinner crowd and were seated by the hostess that apparently forgot to tell the assigned waitress that we were there. So several tables in our area sat for 20-30 minutes without being waited on and at this time the restaurant wasn't busy., When they finally realized we were there and waiting , some of the last tables to arrive were waited on before those of us that had been waiting the longest. Once our orders were taken, the food was quick to come out and I noticed as the restaurant got busier, the kitchen continued to be fast on getting food out. Overall, it was a decent meal, but probably would make the drive back out to the restaurant, mostly due to the lack of flavor of the steak, especially for a $40 steak. The steak dinner was mediocre at best. The quality of the steak is on point, so with the appropriate flavor, it could be one of the best steaks with a little effort. The restaurant was large, spacious and had cute decorations around, but could be loud if the restaurant is completely full. It's not what I would call an intimate experience. They did have an arcade alley for kids.

    Great food and good service. I prefer my matches potatoes peeled, but that's just me being picky. Still a 5 star steakhouse.

From the moment you arrive, it feels like you're out in the middle of nowhere--in the best way possible. The rustic atmosphere is incredible, and on the cool day we visited, they had a wood-burning fireplace going right in the middle of the dining room. It made the whole experience feel cozy and authentic. What really stood out, though, was the people. The service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. I even had the chance to chat with a woman who's been working there for over 20 years--she shared some of the restaurant's history and how it's evolved over time, which made the visit even more special. For food, we started with the fried quail legs--perfectly cooked and seriously delicious (we could've easily eaten more). For the main course, I had the ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was spot on--full of flavor and didn't need a thing added. My wife went with the hamburger steak and loved it as well. Great food, even better people, and an atmosphere that's hard to beat. We'll definitely be back.

The ambience is fine; sortuv a rustic cabin feel. We've had great service the two times we went, and the table bread is wonderful. Not impressed with the thick, (cooked?) carpaccio or the overcooked brussel sprouts. Compared to the USA, it's a 3/5. But in Abilene? Maybe a 4/5.
