My first time in Abilene and I am so happy I landed on this gem. The staff were incredible. Shout out to Phoebe for treating us so well. She’s a Trekkie and D&D chick, so she had all gab and was just so personable. The steak frites were tender and juicy. The chicken fried steak did not disappoint either. Dawn and Aura at the bar gave A+ recommendations, and I tried something new that I would not have even ordered. “LaPuga!!” This staff seem like they are pretty tight-nit and supportive of one another. So again great food and service. These 5 star ratings are easy days for this restaurant!! Go on Thursdays and try your hand at trivia nite!!

I came here for a beer and burger after a long hike, and this place didn't disappoint. It was later in the afternoon, and they weren't crowded. The staff was friendly. Everything was also reasonably priced. I could definitely see this place as a local handout for those who live in Abilene. Seems like a great place!

We went to big country beer garden because of an ad I saw on. Wednesday Thursday and Friday at lunch from 11 to 2, Their sandwiches are buy one get one free. You can’t beat a deal like that. love the atmosphere. the outside patio and stage are absolutely wonderful. Inside was nice and cool. They have a full bar, waitresses were great. The food was fantastic. We did the Bahn Mi and the Nashville chicken sandwich, and both were absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back, hopefully on the BOGO!

Ate here before catching a live band on a Friday night while visiting Abilene. It's a great venue. Had the Carne-Dilla. It was smaller than I was expecting but turned out to be a good value for the price because it was VERY good! The service, on the other hand, was not good. They were crowded but still a number of times I noticed the server was standing around when we needed things. I had to go to the bar to get my water refilled. I did really enjoy the outdoor space and live music.

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. Perfect place for adults with kids or a for night out with friends. Super accommodating with large groups too. LOVE the live music and DJs and how it’s conveniently located near other Abilene night life. Food is great. Options for everyone to choose from. I had the smash burger and it was so delicious. Heard they have brunch from 10-2 on Sunday- can’t wait to try! Our server was attentive but not over the top, a which was the perfect vibe. I could tell how hard the servers were working, most of them running back and forth trying their best to provide excellent service, which I appreciate. Overall, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! Give it a chance!

Just go! Don’t even think about it….just go! We went on a Sunday and this might be our new hangout spot! We ordered a few drinks which were all made perfectly along with our food that was also on point. Our server’s name was Taylor and she was so sweet and very attentive. The rest of the staff was also very kind and considerate when it came to our little one! The outdoor area was a perfect spot to enjoy our food and drinks while letting our little one run around. We will 100% be going back next weekend!
