My wife and I were in Abilene for a day trip. We've been craving barbecue, so we looked up Joe Allen's. When we arrived, we found the atmosphere to be inviting. We were seated and served quickly. I had the lunch special steak (New York Cut), and she had the two meat combo. Everything was delicious, and our server made sure we were happy. There was so much food that we didn't have room for dessert.

🤔 Food was mediocre. I guess we should have only ordered barbecue. My husband chicken fried steak was tougher than expected. My hamburger steak was tender. The onion rings were over battered and tasted like egg, they needed to use freshly mixed flour. Don't know if I'll give it a second try. The servers were busting their butts because they were short-handed. Tip generously, the glitches are not their fault.

We had a one night stay in Abilene and was hopeful to get some good Texas BBQ. There wasn't a lot to choose from. I loved the look of this place when we pulled up. The service was really great. You can order by the plate or the pound. Since we can't take leftovers we did plates. I got sausage, ribs and brisket. Sausage was good, the ribs were pretty good. I liked the rub and they pulled off the bone perfectly. The brisket was terrible. I couldn't eat it. I don't think it was smoked long enough because it was like biting into leather. There was a layer of fat on it that really should have rendered if it was cooked long enough. The sides were good. Better than a lot of bbq places. Overall the food was good and I would go again just to see if the brisket was a fluke.

Our server was most apologetic if it took her more than 2 seconds to bring us anything. She was lovely. I accidentally got served a baked potato when I ordered a sweet potato, so she said I could have both! Result! The sweet potato took mere moments to be brought to me. The steak was amazing (just the smallest cut was too much) and the extra shrimp were grilled to Absolute perfection ! Driving away … I wish I’d had a dessert to go!

Very good pricing, got the 3 meat platter and enjoyed it. The baked sweet potato was seriously incredible! I want this recipe
