    Everything went well. Marvelous atmosphere. Great service and even better food. We had the Prime…read moreRib Dip. Fabulous. More than enough to satiate a hearty appetite. Two dipping sauces. The only bad thing was that we were too full for a dessert. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, "We'll be back!" (Oh yeah, they had a super looking bar as well!)

    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.

    So, I'm a pretty big fan of Guitars. It's a very large place with loud music and a huge dance…read morefloor. Plenty of bars to choose from. They play mainly country music, which I'm personally not a huge fan of; but they do mix it up with hip hop. Most of the people dress in modern western wear, but there are plenty of people who wear their club outfit; country western outfits are not required. Most of the girls here prefer to dance. If you go here, I suggest you learn how to two-step (a girl who frequents here taught me how - it's easy). Thursday night is "College Night," which attracts a large crowd. I've been on Wednesday nights and was not impressed. Friday nights are really good, and of course Saturday nights are hoppin'. There's a large billiard room that usually has open tables to play on. The tables are all 6 Feet standard quarter operated bar tables, and the cues all suck. Pool players: hustle here, don't expect a quality game. Really, if country music isn't your thing, don't worry about it; just go and have fun. It's a great place with cheap drinks, very good bartenders, and little drama. I'll keep going back.

    Do not bring out of state family here. Absolutely horrible. Bouncers kicked my party of 7 out for…read moreone member having an out of state id. They searched his phone, looked at his passport id, and threatened to call the cops, 'and he agreed'. They were proven wrong about his identification being false and claimed our attitudes were bad.
