Customer Review Summary
Overall, Beehive Restaurant offers a mix of great experiences and some disappointments. Many praised the chicken fried steak as large and perfectly cooked, with excellent service at affordable prices. Some guests enjoyed the Chicken Caesar salad, prime rib, and desserts, noting the Long Island Iced Tea as a highlight. Positive comments frequently mentioned attentive and friendly staff, particularly DJ and Preston. However, there were complaints about the toughness of the prime rib and lack of flavor in some dishes, such as the peppercorn burger and unseasoned baked potato. Some diners found the restaurant crowded and experienced delays in receiving their entrees. While many will return for the food and service, others felt it didn't live up to the hype and may not visit again.

The fattest chicken fried steak I've ever had! The steak was half the plate and cooked perfectly. Service was amazing and quick. The prices are very cheap compared to other places. It was around ten dollars for my meal and well worth it. The inside of the restaurant was very clean with plenty of seating to go around. I would recommend this to anyone around Abilene.

I had the Chicken Cesar salad and it was delicious. The chicken was moist and seasoned well. The steak was excellent and cooked perfectly. The chocolate cake was yum and we devoured it. Our server, Preston, was attentive and gave us honest feedback to our questions. The Long Island Ice Tea was very good and definitely recommend you trying it.

Went for my birthday and it was pretty good but for the price, the food could have been better. I had the prime rib and it was actually tough. Service was awesome!!

Everything as expected and then some. You gotta have the long island iced tea. Listen to the wait staff Annette and DJ; I wanted a strip steak was recommended to get the filet. #perfection 14 oz my a$$. If you are in Abilene, TX you gotta visit

Food is absolutely terrific! Everything we had was amazing. Had we not cleaned out plates with apps and mains we would have gotten desserts also bit had no room at all for anything else. The Texas tea is a must try drink as well. Our only gripe was the hostess who gave us major attitude upon asking to put two tables together. Beyond that all other staff were super kind and helpful. Even got to meet Nariman a co-owner of the business so that was special for us. We got seated within 15 minutes of arriving at 710pm without RSVP. Apps came out 20 minutes after ordering but entrees took 50 minutes after ordering to come out. It was very busy I admit also. We will come back again for sure to try more items like the fillet and prime rib which I am told is for some, the best they have ever had.

Went to the beehive last night for the first time with Edward Vasquez. Not sure what the hype is all about. Got there kind of early so there was no wait. The food was okay it definitely could use more flavor. The butter and the bread was sad. My chicken was good and not dry just lacked seasoning. I also felt like it was really crowded. I ordered a bake potato not loaded and it literally came with no butter no anything. Over all it was a good experience but I don't think I will be back.

DJ is the most amazing human I have witness in hospitality. I travel for a living and meet many many folks in the hospitality industry, DJ is beyond anyone I have ever met! Attentive, accurate and very accute at what everyone wanted. Simply amazing!!

I came in from out of town to visit family and they said they have not been here in a while but the food is always amazing. Unfortunately, it was not. They both had the chicken fried steak and said the best part of their meal was the potato served with it. I had the peppercorn burger and it had no flavor either. There was no flavor to anything and barely any peppercorns on the patty as described on the menu. The drinks were amazing and the staff decent. Maybe it was an off night being right after Christmas but it left a lot to be desired.
