This place is okay, my husband really likes it but I feel like as a vegetarian who tries to eat healthy there aren't a whole lot of options. I got a veggie burger once and it was so gross I only took a few bites and couldn't eat the rest, like it hadn't been cooked or something. I do like that they have outdoor seating and he says he likes the real hamburger that he gets.
The food was good, a little pricey for diner style brunch. Belgian waffle was well cooked but only came with one small syrup. The grits were very thick but tasted good with hot sauce. Juevos Rancheros was great. The service was ok. They were very obviously short staffed. We sat outside and some of the tables outside are plastic. The problem with this didn't become apparent until our food came and the table began wildly shaking as we tried to cut our food and eat. Our drinks went everywhere, whip cream and strawberries actually fell off my plate to the ground. When I asked for more strawberry they refused. The bloody Mary didn't come with celery as pictured on another review and when we asked for some, they charged us for a side of celery. We went mainly for the bloody Mary as it was pictured and were disappointed. It's ok if you live in Carroll Gardens but not worth an out of your trip.
good service and decent food
Amazing food, amazing service, great all around.I've had take out and just as much care goes into take out as dine in!Brunch - biscuits and gravy with eggsDinner / lunch - chicken sammy
This place was fun! Our bartender, Hope, was very friendly and served us some tasty nachos. The 70's retro vibe and reasonable prices made for a great way to pass a couple of hours.
No frills needed. A great place to relax and unwind. Quality cocktails at a great prices. This is exactly what you're looking for in a neighborhood hang out. Great staff, great menu, all around greatness!
I've been coming to this beloved neighborhood bar for almost a decade, besides the good food and drinks, the staff had always been a big reason why this place was so lovely. Went on a Sunday a few weeks ago and sorry to say some of the new staff they took on since the covid hit seemed a bit too cool to serve, not a pleasant experience, still left an okay tip because it was good manners, but gonna think twice about going back again. (Ps. The kitchen staff were super nice and made sure we were attended to, and the food was great as usual)
Stopped in for a late lunch. Their Classic burger was excellent, if you like that sort of thing, and I enjoyed it immensely. The service was excellent! I would happily go out of my way to dine at Abilene again.
This is my go to spot when I'm craving fried food and cold beer. It's even better when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. This is my Cheers even though they don't know my name.
