Smokehouse Abilene

I got the NY strip. Good steak, perfectly cooked, good cut. I feel like it shouldn’t need to be mentioned but I swear I’ve only had a properly cooked steak a handful of times in the last couple of years irrespective of price. Came out perfectly medium and a solid sear as requested. Caesar dressing is different but very good. Staff were all very nice, and my food came out quickly.

Ordered from here twice. Both times disappointed, dissatisfied and disgusting. Cesar is not a Cesar salad. Why is there bacon, pepper corn, and a lack of chicken even though it was an extra 16. Ordered the short ribs, just the look of it you can tell it was burnt. Tried to go past the burnt top. Only to discover the inside tasted burnt. The meat looked juicy. Let’s just say you can’t judge a book by its cover. It was dry and tasted burnt. Over priced, over cooked and under delivered on flavor. Avoid this place at all cos, or else it will cost you good money for food that is not fit for a dog.

Went to Smokehouse this evening. Our waiter Jacob was fantastic. My husband and I got the bourbon peach sweet tea and those we delicious. We got the pork belly for an appetizer and I loved it! I ordered the snapper for my entree and the waiter mentioned the grouper was their special tonight so my husband ordered that and the green chili Mac and cheese (which was delicious). Unfortunately, I was extremely underwhelmed. The fish had no flavor whatsoever. I was very disappointed. I don't usually order fish at a restaurant but I wanted something different and I deeply regret it. Overall though I would probably come back to order something else and see if my experience changes, but I dont recommend the fish. Our total for two people plus tip was $150.

My wife and I celebrated her 23rd birthday there and we had such an amazing time, our waitress Hailey was amazing and we got the best service we’ve ever had in Abilene! David one of the managers I believe and another sweet lady (i forgot her name) helped make my wife’s birthday intimate and special…each dish we ate had such a unique taste and bold flavor…we had hardly anything to take home! my wife and I both ordered 14oz ribeyes with a side of greens and Mac and cheese, that I definitely suggest ordering when you go. The other sweet waitress took time out of her shift to take pictures of us, we loved her so much! We are definitely going to be back for anniversaries and birthdays to come!

I am a local, born here raised here. From the moment I walked in Wendy greeted us and took care of us. I will return, not for the food, but because of Wendy. All the food was just below par. The presentation was beautiful, but the taste was just lacking. I was very embarrassed because I had hyped up the restaurant. I was bringing my family that has moved back from Germany to Abilene, Texas. Then to have to pay over $300 for my meal, that was just not good. Wendy made my feed back not about complaining, but how they need growth in a few areas. I also realize even chiefs have off days. I’m so thankful for people like Wendy, because she is what community is ALL about. With that said, I can’t wait to go back and eat there, all because Wendy. So Wendy if you read this, thank you for the care yo
