    This is actually the meat patties. Ugh! - A detailed image of a meat patty with a dark, crispy, and uneven surface, held up against a bright background, possibly indicating overcooking.

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

    Cheeseburger and fries - French fries in a paper wrapper and a cheeseburger with a bun and beef patty are placed on a gray surface.

    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. - A burger featuring bacon, grilled onions, and pickles is held in a person's hand, with a casual dining setting in the background.

    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. - A burger wrapped in paper, accompanied by onion rings and a small container of dipping sauce on a tray.

    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.

    Chicken strips and gravy today

    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.

    We went to Abilene for a night and stopped at The Taylor County Taphouse since this place was…read morerecommended by locals on various social media. Ambiance: Bar/pub vibes - heavy wood decor. Casual. We sat at the bar and our bartender was amazing! He was funny and attentive despite being very busy! Service: The restaurant was so busy with diners even at 8:30 PM on a Saturday evening. I did not expect it to be this busy in my head. My husband and I sat at the bar since that was open seating and there were no sit down tables available inside or on the patio. The restaurant will add you to the waitlist if you'd like! Food: My husband and I shared the deviled eggs appetizer, and "the burger" with grilled jalapeños and pepper jack cheese. The deviled wggs (satan's huevos) were good, and spicy because we chose the "hellfire" option. The burger was huge! I'm glad my husband I split it because there was no way I'd finish that burger on my own! We both left content and not stuffed.

    My wife and I came here on a Saturday early afternoon. We were sat and handed brunch menus which…read moredidn't have the Philly cheese steak on it. We looked at the menu online prior to coming and knew that we both wanted to try the cheese steak, so this was a bit of a bummer. They waitress who was very attentive told us that we can't order from the full menu for another 30 minutes so we decided to wait rather than leave. Listen, I get it the idea of having a different menu for brunch, but why not post it on your website and state the specific times for each menu? Also, what difference does 30 minutes make? They couldn't fire up the grill 30 minutes early? It wasn't very busy. Anyways, now for the good part: When we were finally allowed to order our sandwiches they were absolutely amazing. The steak was high quality and the gooey cheese had a ton of flavor. What wasn't amazing however was the bill. $20 for a sandwich and a small portion of fries in Abilene is absolute insanity. What's even crazier is we were charged extra for a side of ranch! I understand you get what you pay for, and there's no arguing the quality of the sandwich was top notch, but at the end of the day it's still just a sandwich. If you're good with dropping nearly $60 (including tip) on lunch, then this is your spot. For me, I'll take my business elsewhere.
