Cork and Pig is a trendy spot in Abilene near Abilene Christian University. It's one of those wood…read moreslat, metal sign restaurants that have no character besides being in a generic shopping center that pretends to be fancier than it is, so it just ends up looking like a cold soulless shell. 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.

OMG, as an "Old Fay Guy" who has had more than his fair share of burgers, this is by far one of, if not the best, burger I have ever had. Shout out to Chef Rob and the kitchen staff. This burger will stand up (surpass) a burger from anyplace around.

I had a glass of the llano Pinot grigio and found it refreshing with its bright fruit flavor. My husband had the prescription sunglasses beer (love the name) and he enjoyed it as well. For food we had the fish and chips and bratwurst roll. Fries came with both orders and it had a satisfying crunch as did the fish. The bratwurst itself was good but I didn't care for the roll. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here and it was really family friendly. We had our newborn with us and I was pleasantly surprised that a real changing table was available in both the men and women's bathroom which made it the perfect place for us to hang out for a bit. Would definitely come back again if we are in the area!

The lake views are beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxing, and it's a great spot to enjoy a meal and a drink. We sampled several items from the menu. The burger was good, but not $18 good. The chicken wrap was solid but didn't particularly stand out. The real highlights were the catfish, which was cooked perfectly, and the pizza, which was absolutely exceptional and easily the best thing we ordered. Our server was clearly handling a lot of tables, but she remained friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Between the delicious food, tasty drinks, and fantastic patio overlooking the lake, we had a great experience. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're planning to try some of the more upscale dinner options on the menu.
