Blu Barrel Bar & Grill

Staff is always friendly, Bartenders and waitstaff are attentive, and provide a fun environment to enjoy a night out!

Ate dinner during NFL games. Food was great as well as the service. Fries were good, beer was good, atmosphere was great. Would go there again in a heartbeat.

Great atmosphere , awesome people and the service is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had !!!!

Don’t let their current reviews fool you! This place is 5 stars all day long! They have some of the best food in Abilene!

We ordered to go and the food was very good. Super friendly staff. Great atmosphere too. We will be back!

Fast service great food best fried pickles in Abilene

Wonderful waitress/bartender!

Awesome as always, despite the AC being wacky (they knew about it and were in the process of fixing it) can't beat Blu Barrel.

Love this place.. the waitress staff can be rude at times but the environment is great

Holy smokes batman! Kaylee was amazing. Sweet, amazing ,and quick ..

Great food, great service with great music. Best spot in town by far. Jalapeño poppers are best in town

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Eric the Gen Mgr for going out of his way to pick me up at the Hospital after my surgery today and making sure I got home safely. He reflects the outstanding people that work at the Blu Barrell and represents the company's community support. Again, my deepest thanks.

In this fat kids opinion, these are probably the best burgers and wings in town. I know for sure that these are the best cheese kurds in town. I felt like I was back up north when I had them. But, back to the other food...When I get wings, I want them crispy and flavorful. I don't want them soggy and what seems like half cooked like most places in town make them. This place makes them perfect, every time. The burgers are big, so come with a healthy appetite. The staff is great too btw, which is really nice. Easily in my top 3 places to eat in town. You're my boy Blu!!

Very good service. Maria made us the best Bloody Mary's I have had in a long time. Food was very good for the price.

We sat at the bar during a few big games. Kaylee the bartender took phenomenal care of us as well as everyone else at the bar top, she was working her tail off. Our food came out hot, had to wait a minute to eat it. We never went empty or without. We will be back!

Price of drinks were reasonable. Great place to watch football on the weekend. Bar tender was nice and atmosphere was relaxed.

Holy crap!!! What an amazing experience. The food is delicious. Our server Alexis is amazing. Quick, happy and always kept the drinks full. Food was hot and amazing. 10/10 service.

If you like to interact or mind your damn business, Blu is your spot! Sexy bartenders, chill patrons, relaxed environment. I go there just about anytime. Don't bring the kids after 9 but other than that pull up!

Service was great, fast and friendly. Food was fantastic. Had the quesadilla and cheeseburger with the chocolate cake! So good!

We live close by and it’s our favorite bar to visit especially on UFC fight nights. Great servers and atmosphere.

I love the Classic Blu Burger (No bun) and the Steak Fajita Salad. Great for gluten-free people like me. Just don't get the fries to keep it GF. Great music. And the staff is awesome!

Blu barrel is my favorite place in Abeline. Kaylee is the best, gives great attention to everyone. Drinks, food, service, atmosphere all on point.

Nice small neighborhood bar grill.

Exelente lugar para visitar y pasar un buen tiempo, buena música, un ambiente agradable y buenas bebidas.

Great food and brews. Service a little slow given that it wasn't super busy. Chicken Fried Steak was pretty good, wish there was gravy on the mash potatoes.

I had the buffalo chicken tacos and it was very good. The atmosphere is like a sports bar with Hooteresque twist (servers). Our server seemed annoyed that we were there to eat and not buy a bunch of alcohol. Overall - it was a good experience.

Wings were good, beer fair priced. Kind of a sports bar with a lot of TVs. Better to go with a group than solo. Waitresses wearing skimpy clothes which wasn't bad.

We enjoyed a couple appetizers with queso sauce. Both were good+, not excellent. Beer was cold with a decent selection on tap. Service was prompt at the bar. Atmosphere = strip mall bar

Barely got situated in the chair when the waiter came to get my order. I chose the patty melt. While it was somewhat greasy, the carmelized onion really made the sandwich great. The fries were a bit limp, but tasted OK.

Please list on menu that the cheesy fries are drowned in mayonnaise. Disgusting. Fried cheese curds deliscious Calamari very good. Mayo on fries....bleccch.

Stopped to have lunch…it’s a nice littler quiet bar place. The place was clean and the service was good. I ordered a chicken ranch sandwich and it was alright but a little salty for my taste but still eatable. I read other reviews that the food was salty so I have to agree. No reason to use table salt when you receive your food.

I use to love the wings. The last couple time I've been in they have just been ok. They were dry with barely any sauce. My wife got the salmon. It was over cooked and seemed like they haven't cleaned the grill in a while.

Food was great! But not satisfied that alcoholic beverages are not allowed "TO-GO"! Young lady, short, with glasses, long hair, did not do no justice! She didn't make us feel welcome as customers! Did not greet us well! Bad communication and customer service in ALL! Not attentive, and she was gone for a little while! Do not recommend! Will go else where for better customer service!

Have been here 4 times. First 3 the bottled beer was hot and a/c wasn't working in building. Understand they haven't been open long and have to work things out. Went this afternoon (8/13) beer was cold but suprise suprise a/c wasn't working very well. To top thing off we were hit with a 20% gratuity fee. Server said it was the computer that does it, lol whatever. I said I hope they put that money towards fixing their a/c. Wont go back. We always tip good for good service. A taxation for a tip is ridiculous.

I went about 1 month ago and the fajita salad was great. Just went again since I thought it would be good again. Toughest meat EVER !!! And I am almost 70. Wow, it was bad.

This is a one time issue. Ordered the bacon and cheese fries. It was nothing but a total salt flavor, like they took the top off of a salt shaker and poured salt all over it. I could not finish my order because of the excessive salt taste. I Have ordered just about everything on the menu and have never been disappointed, until tonight. This needs attention.

Tried again tonight. Wait staff is horrible. I don't even know her name, but rude and no customer service skills. This is not the only location. We seem to get forgotten about. Had enough and won't be back. All staff look miserable, and act miserable. This is a Tuesday after 8. Come one BB step it up. Looks like we need to find a better place. Sorry you have lost our business

Giving one star because my sister and I went and sat at a table for 20 minutes and didn't get acknowledged so we left. Maybe one day I can try the food.

The food sucked the service was so so and the atmosphere was awful I do not recommend this place.

And I didn’t even get last call I went back in to order another round and she said oh we’re closing I said we didn’t get last call as a matter of fact I should be getting paid for doing their job

AC not working too hot !!

The service was fine the food was bland. The "queso" was flavorless and tasted like like gravy. The chicken fried steak was burnt but the cheese fries were ice cold and covered with their tasteless queso then top with shredded cheese that wasn't melted. Go elsewhere

0- stars for our server! The place WASNT BUSY! I Wish I would have asked for our servers NAME, so you know what section NOT to sit in! We Waited 25 minutes for DRINKS when the bartender had them ready in 5...

Visited the Buffalo Gap Rd location briefly on 1 February to enjoy some dinner. Sat ourselves at a table, waited for a greeting from the wait-staff for about 5-8 minutes, no service, strangely no bartender either. Observed some guests at the bar sneaking vapes from their e- cigarettes; Music ( if you can call it that) at volume that you couldn't enjoy a conversation. Really disappointed so we left, what a shame, this location was a go-to spot for me. My friends and I will be moving on.

I would litterally give zero stars if I could. Do not go here if you would like any service at all. My husband asked for a menu and the waitress said she would bring one in a minute. 10 minutes later she cane out and back in twice without acknowledging us at all then I asked ANOTHER waitress for a menu and still nothing. We finally got up and left. Seems you can only get half ass service if you are a man and alone and zero service if you go in as a couple. This was one of the first places we visited in Abilene and boy did it give a bad impression. DO BETTER!
