The Big Country Beer Garden — Restaurant in Abilene

From the second we walked into The Big Country Beer Garden, we knew this wasn’t just a place to grab a drink — this was the hangout spot.

✅ Atmosphere: Outdoor vibes were on point — string lights, live music, and just the right level of background chatter so you can talk without yelling. ✅ Drinks: Solid craft beer selection, local flavors that hit different.

Abilene is getting better!!! And it’s because of this place!!! The BCBG is amazing! there is indoor seating, a covered outdoor patio, and even lawn seating with turf.

Almost died of thirst because no one pays attention to refills around here. Cups are 6oz too which doesn’t help, but sure, fill it all the way up with ice. Got the $11 queso, it was super good, but for $11, it was impressively small. And deep. These guys aren’t queso connoisseurs, otherwise their queso containers would be wider, yet shallower, allowing for easy scooping and scraping (when you start running out). Still overpriced for the portion. $11 is crazy for that much queso. I can’t express that enough. Burger is excellent, comes with fries, but $16??? Was it supposed to come with a handy? Must’ve missed that part—overall everything is overpriced and the staff needs some perceptive training. I’d take...
