Beehive Restaurant & Saloon - Abilene

I had high hopes for the beehive restaurant. Ultimately I was disappointed. We ordered the prime rib, medium well and it came out lukewarm. It's alot of meat and I'm sure some would love it. To me it was pretty bland and definitely not worth the price. The roll that came with it was hard as a rock. I will say my baked potato, salad, and spinach dip was great. The service was amazing, our waitress and all serving staff were awesome. The atmosphere not so much. You sit so close to other guests that you can't even hear the person you are with speaking. Overall I probably would recommend it to anyone who loves meat and hope to go back one day to try sometimes lighter like a hamburger or something. We shall see.

I ordered the sirloin 8oz, and it was cooked to perfection. I asked the waiter if I could substitute the side of mashed potato for salad, and he said it was not possible. The salad looked like a soup with lettuce since it had more dressing than vegetables. A minor incident that won 't prevent me from returning to this place or recommend it, but I feel it necessary to share happened when I entered the restaurant and was asked how many people were in the reservation. I said two. The lady told me to wait for my friend. I asked if I could wait at the table since I was thirsty. She noted that the business rule is not to give a table until everyone is at the restaurant. Weird. I would encourage the managers to have friendlier rules, waiters, and hostesses.

Have eaten there many times. The food is undeniably great. The service is always great. Went there for a 6:30 pm reservation for 16 people. we arrived at 6PM. Was told upon arrival it would be at least an hour and a half wait. We thought surely not, We have reservations right? Nope, apparently reservations dont mean jack here. At 7:50 they said our table was ready as we where leaving. We thought if it took this long to get seated they might close before we got our food. Again great restaurant, just definitely lacking in the scheduling department! Truly a disappointment tonight.

On our way to Colorado for vacation my husband and I stopped to eat, we heard about this place on the Texas bucket list t.v show as the best place for steak in Texas. Boy, they were not kidding! I had the 10oz new York strip, and he ate the 45oz ribeye. And that was an amazing steak! Tender and full of flavor, the green beans and tomatoes, and mashed potatoes, we're yummy, the salted caramel cheese cake was delicious. Impeccable service warm inviting atmosphere,makes this place a must see.

In town for work. First time dining here and was not disappointed. Escargot appetizer was delicious and my 10oz Filet was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. This places lives up to the hype. Would dine here again.
