    This is actually the meat patties. Ugh!

    Started out good but it has gone downhill. The burger bun is now smaller and the meat patty is paper thin.

    This place is amazing!!! Family owned just keeping it simple and when it comes to burgers sometimes less is more. We went today and I got the cheeseburger which was actually quite big, husband got the egg burger which he loved. We got one combo and had plenty of fries for both of us. Reasonably priced and high quality. We loved it!

    Turtleman Burger. Has bacon and grilled onions along with other condiments.

    By far the best burger I've had in Abilene. Since I know how to make a decent smash burger. I don't usually order burgers outside, but this place will definitely be an exception. You can clearly tell the meat is fresh, the french fries are likely made by cutting potatoes, fresh in the store. Service is fast and efficient and the place is actually nice to sit down and eat. There's nothing lacking in this place. I would highly recommend going here. Another advantage, there are no waiters, and they don't ask for tips to check out, you can give only if you want to. Definitely a welcome business model in a horrible tipping culture.

    How food comes out.

    I got their signature burger. Turtleman Burger. It was very good, and its pretty much like a smash burger. No Waitress/Waiter, don't have to tip unless you want to. Onion rings slightly salted on outside. Refrigerated drinks on the side. Chill atmosphere. Prices are for just the food. It's an additional $3 for fries and fountain drink. An extra $1 or $1.50 for rings instead of fries. If you're in the area I recommend trying it out.

    Very good burger and fries. As long as they keep up this quality it will remain one of my favorite burgers in the Abilene area.

    Food is very good. Don't like standing in line, but, I guess most don't mind. Food is almost worth it.

    I wasn't sure what to make of this place from what I'd read online, but I was in Abilene for a…read morewhile and the Friday gathering at my event clearly didn't have the kind of food that I'd consider "dinner", so I made my way over to this place down the road for a proper meal. I've seen more than a few places of this sort, most notably the Fuddrucker's chain in Houston. A predominantly burger menu with other options, sides, milkshakes, desserts, etc. where you order your meal at a counter, fill up your drink at a station, and sit at big wooden tables, and run your little buzzer back to pick up your food. They have a great vibe that really seems to fit the area, and it looked like there was a playground area where families could bring their kids for a good time. Prices are a bit higher than I'd like-- it cost me almost $18 for a burger, a side, and a drink-- but it was still worth a visit. The only reason that I didn't give them the full five stars is that the service was a bit slow. I was waiting surprisingly long for a burger considering how fast some other orders came out, and it took a while to track someone down to get a to go box for my leftover side.

    I ate at Blue Sky for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. The burger was seasoned…read moreperfectly and the ingredients were fresh. I ordered the onion rings, the whole reason I came here, and they were made just like my favorite hotdog spot back home in NY. There are so many burgers to choose from, and I'll 100% be back to try the mushroom Swiss next. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our trays were picked up right away to give us more space, and someone was cleaning tables quickly after other guests finished their meals. Everything felt clean and well taken care of. I'm really glad I finally came here and I'll definitely be back.
