    This place is awesome! Food was delicious and reasonably priced. I chose the Blackened Sampler which has Salmon, Catfish and thre or four shimp. They get some big country artists here as well.

    Seriously great. We loved it! Good food and great atmosphere! Almost doesn't feel like you're in Abilene more so a Fort Worth vibe to it. Can't wait to experience it during a live event.

    Food and service is excellent, price is very reasonable. Entertainment was enjoyable as well.

    Great place for local live music Cobb salad was good Wife's chicken & veggies were really salty

    The empty seats all around us, yet the service left more to be desired

    To start it off we made a reservation for our family of 5 at 3pm on a Sunday, the greeter sat us at a 4 person table and didn't offer an additional chair so we moved ourselves to a bigger table. For the first 40 mins we were the only people in the whole entire place. The waitress came and only brought 4 things of silverware even though there was 5 of us. She asked our children what they wanted to drink, they asked her what they offered and there was no response she just stared at them waiting for a response. We weren't given any menus when we arrived, we had to ask the waitress for them. My husband sat with an empty beer for almost 10 mins before she came to ask if he'd like another one. The waitress was more worried about playing/texting on her phone then taking care of us. We ordered our lunches and 3 of the 5 orders were wrong. I ordered a blue cheese burger and they brought out a regular cheeseburger. My husband ordered a chicken fried steak and the salt flavor was SO OVERPOWERING , that he couldn't finish it. THIS MAN CAN EAT, never picky and it made his stomach churn. Maybe if she focused more on taking care of her customers then her phone she wouldn't of gotten the order wrong. The food is ok, definitely have had better at other places. More training and less phone play could make this a 5 establishment. The customer should be more important than whatever you got going on with your cell phone!

    The live music is great, but TOO LOUD!!!

    Potosi Live was a SOLID 5 star experience. I'll explain later. They took the 4 of us to a table for 10. What? The second table was dirty. Third table we kept. Colby was our waiter. He was fantastic. Good job young man! Music started 5 minutes later. LOUD! We were the table in the far back of the room. We could barely hear each other talk. When the food came out, we were all impressed. Everything was delicious! I love a shrimp boil and they did a great job at a great price. I will definitely get it again. There was plenty of staff to keep everyone happy. We certainly enjoyed the live music, and will go back again for the dueling piano night. Now, why 4 stars? The music was just too loud. So loud that you could recognize the song, but not understand the lyrics. Just talking across the table was a pain. This is probably just fine later in the night, but not early evening. We had a great time and great food. We will definitely go back, but I'll check the calendar for nights with no live music. See ya!

    Two foodies from Houston,…read more On a road trip, we decided to try Abilene BBQ. The outside and inside are both clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and greeted us at the door. We ordered two 2 meat plates with sides. Order 1: rib and brisket with green beans and macaroni salad with jalapeño corn bread. Order 2: brisket and grilled chicken with pinto beans and potato salad. Unfortunately, the food was not to our likening. The green beans taste like they were from a can and macaroni salad didn't taste fresh, it tasted like refrigerator. Potato salad was whipped and pinto beans had an odd taste, couldn't make it out. Rob had too much black pepper and the other meats really didn't have a good smoke flavor. No comment on the BBQ sauce. With two drinks, we paid about $50.00 If you enjoy meats that don't have a Smokey flavor, this may be to your place. As we like to say, give it a try for yourselves since we all have different tastes buds.

Last time through, I ordered 2 lbs of chopped beef and told her a pint of bbq sauce. When i looked at my ticket, they charged for the pint of sauce and my normal free sauce wasn't included. Today, I ordered 4 lbs of meet at 1:33 and it took 20 minutes with a line of cars behind me. I had already waited in line for maybe 10 minutes. It was 11:33 and they open at 11:00 and they were already out of chicken. So, they ask if i want pickle and onions and I said yes. Finally got home and opened the bag and no pickle and onions. I opened the chopped beef and these globs of fat were laying right on top. Don't have high hopes for the rest of it. Their "pulled pork" is actually shredded, heavily sauced with something and has a real wanky taste. It will hit the trash.

(chips were pretty good) The salmon was overcooked and the grilled broccoli practically raw. This meal was so underwhelming it reminded me of maybe something you might pick up in a grocery store in that section where people who don't cook go to get ready-made meals. It was right at that level. Service- Two or three stars. Mediocre. I've been here once before, btw, and that experience was probably an overall 3-star. This time was right before a show at the convention center next door. You'd think that maybe the restaurant would have been prepared for a crowd? Apparently not, since our food was slow to come (the table next to us had both of their steaks comp'ed due to slow service and not being cooked as asked). When I asked for a wine list, the server stated that he would "try to find one", and it took awhile. And the restaurant was probably only about 60% full. I mean, if I'm going to wait forever for my food, at least let me be drinking while I wait! The appetizer arrived with our food, btw. Love that... Ambiance: Five Stars. The restaurant looks nice. Get your act together, Smokehouse! It would be nice if we could count on a nice meal before a show without having to Uber to and from the hotel/venue for it.

The beef quality was superb--thick-cut, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned without overpowering its natural flavor.

We took the onions and cucumbers off our salad due to dietary issues and that left us with lettuce, mushrooms, and dressing. Our burger was the best part. It was cooked well, and the bun was soft. The strawberry shortcake was disappointing. The fruit was stewed and the biscuits were hard with just room temp heavy cream to offset the temperature of the fruit. For ambiance, it was nothing to write home about. Very busy and very loud, but it was a Saturday evening so that was to be expected. What I didn't expect was the lack of air conditioning in July. It was over 100 degrees that day, and it was cooler outside. Unacceptable for Texas in July when you're seating tables 3' from each other. Our server was good. She was attentive, and kept our water glasses filled. We may try again once the weather cools down.

The interior is that frigid, lifeless faux fancy industrial aesthetic that chills your senses and has no character of its own. The menu is what you expect. Nothing special or original just benign takes on traditional fare, like Blackened Ribeyes. We were In Abilene because my family gathered to watch my nephew's football debut at Hardin-Simmons University. My wife ordered the Caesar Salad and Truffle fries. The salad was limp, and the dressing was tangy like it was mixed with Dijon mustard Her Truffle Fries had an okay flavor. The dipping sauces were good but nothing great but the nail in the coffin was the fries were cold. Not cold as in sitting in the warmer cold, we're talking OUT ON THE COUNTER FOR 10 MINUTES OR MORE COLD!! I got the Waygu Smash burger. The burger patties, pickles, and everything inside were good but it was served on a fancy bun that was also cold. Not sitting on the counter for 10 minutes cold, we're talking RIGHT OUT OF THE FRIDGE COLD. Fancy buns should be lightly toasted to make the dense bread bearable. It totally failed my bun to juiciness ratio, and to top it off my fries were also COLD. My daughter got the Ahi Tuna Ponzo. I didn't taste it because I was busy eating my cold bun, cold fries. Plus my wife's Dijon Caesar Salad because she despises mustard. But she seemed to like it, that's why this review is three stars instead of two. She said it was "Slightly nutty and the vinaigrette is sharp and fresh without being overwhelming the tuna is seasoned nicely and it's a fatty cut not fishy at all." Listen, you could say "if it's cold send it back. Make them fix it." But the truth is that it doesn't matter. They sent out two batches of cold truffle fries (my brother in law also ordered some), my cold fries, a fancy bun that was right out of the fridge, and Caesar dressing spiked with Dijon mustard. Sending it back just would have made the experience worse, like being in a chilly hell where all the heat has been stolen so all food is served COLD.
