Abilene

I can't rate the food because I just went in for drinks. I liked the vibe of this place. You can tell it's a neighborhood bar/restaurant but they are very welcoming. The place was full but not crowded. The space is medium but comfortable and there is plenty of outside seating. The bartender, Marcus, was very pleasant and so was the rest of the staff. The music was okay but the only thing is that it was all from the same group. The prices on the 🍺 and drinks were good. I'll definitely go back and try some of the food.

2023 2nd visit: pro tip is to order a side of cornbread with your drink, you get two big pieces of cornbread for $4. I liked the breakfast martini but it was too sweet/too heavy on the coffee liqueur for me. 2021: liked the belgian waffle and the cucumber Gimlet, service was fast and they have a strong covid protocol in place. At first when I realized it wasnt real maple syrup I was like Oh No but it was actually fine and tasted great. Personally I dont think the “mask up if server approaches your table” should be a requirement if the server themself is wearing a mask, but it doesnt detract enough from the experience to make me not want to come back and try other menu items. Will definitely plan on coming back and trying some other stuff!

At the bar there is handful of draughts on tap, couple of bottles, couple of cans, wine, beer and liquor specials, good size list of cocktails, and you can order food at the bar. Straight forward food menu, classic appetizers, burgers, salads, sandwiches, burritos, quesadillas etc What makes this place is the patio out front. The front of the building is all good sized windows that open up and on a nice day you cannot beat it. UPDATE: 1/3/2021 Outdoor COVID setup has plenty of space. Brunch, had the Abilene Scrambled, was phenomenal, one complaint is the cardboard tray. Brunch menu has some intriguing dishes.
