Come in and enjoy the comfortable atmosphere, excellent service, and flavorful food. My chopped brisket sandwich was smoky, tender, peppery and slightly sweet. I requested to try the Joe Allen’s pepper sauce and bought a bottle for home. This place is a must try!

We just went for the first time to Joe Allen’s and it might just be one of the best barbecue ribs and brisket we have ever ate! Then they have a jalapeño sausage and cornbread! We will come back as often as we can from here on out! We didn’t get the name of the person behind the counter who said he cooked the ribs, brisket, cornbread, sausages and everything else! But he might just be one of our favorite people now….lol. Please thank him for cooking the most amazing barbecue we have ever had! We will see you again very soon! If we could give more than 5 stars we would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First time there last night, I wont be back. Atmosphere was great, clean, five stars. The food was not the best i got the 3 meat plate and 2 sides. The sides were piping hot and great, except the baked sweet potato, that was a little well done and was hard, burnt and collapsed in some places. The meats however where barely warm! Still ate it all, i am by no means picky or a food snob, ill eat cold pizza and chicken, and i dont like wasting food even if its not amazing. The food was alright i will say that. The reason I will never come back is the waitress. So rude to my partner, she called her “big girl” 3 times throughout our dinner, will not be back.

Wife’s steak was very good, mine mostly grizzle with a large vein running through, the flavor was good though. Wife had a loaded baked potato that made me a little jealous because I had the new potatoes that were described to me as cowboy potatoes (they were cowboy potatoes as much as scrambled eggs with cheese on top is an omelet). The ribs I ordered on the side were phenomenal and falling off of the bone.

I heard about this place from a lady at the airport so I tried it. About 6:30 pm on a Wednesday. Seat yourself, like that. Sat at the bar, served right away, got an ice cold beer. There is a bigger dining room as well but it was just me. Paper menu, very simple, ordered the chx fried steak with fries and a salad. on everything. The ranch dressing pretty sure not from a bottle. The homemade jalapeño cornbread and white bread, Chx fried and fries were crispy and tasty. I’d come back for sure!

Best barbecue, sides, and dessert I have ever had! The quality and price were both awesome! I have been coming to Abilene for years and just now found this hidden jewel thanks to a friend who recommended it! Best thing about Abilene except for my grandkids!!!

Amazing barbecue spot where all the meat is prepared early in the day, so make sure you arrive before everything sells out. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can really feel the family spirit behind the place. We even happened to catch a live acoustic performance, which made the experience even better. Every staff member is attentive and always checks to make sure you’re taken care of. Highly recommended!
From Russia, with luv!

I ordered the three-meat plate—moist brisket, ribs, and sausage—and everything hit the mark. The brisket was tender and well-seasoned, the ribs were so flavorful they practically fell off the bone, and the sausage had a solid smoky bite. You rarely find barbecue that’s seasoned this well and cooked this tender.
Portions were a good size, the smoke ring on the meats was exactly what you want to see, and the overall flavor showed real skill behind the pit. Service was fast and friendly, and even with a to-go order, everything came out fresh and satisfying.
All around, this place delivered some of the best barbecue I’ve had in Texas. Props to the pit master—they earned it.

Food was freaking amazing!!! Service was freaking amazing My first time trying out Joe Allen’s Pit Bar-B-Que and will definitely be going back!!!! I’m up here working in Abilene and this place is now one of my favorite places!! I got sausage, ribs, brisket, cabbage and new potatoes. Lots of flavor!!

All I can say is WOW! The $10 pork chops were OVER priced. They were super dry, tough and no flavor. Smoked cardboard might have been better!! I noticed another guest sitting across from us was experiencing the same issues. He was eating alone and I saw him shake his head in disgust as he struggled to cut his meat. Too bad because Joe Allen’s has been a legendary place for ever. I guess you get what you pay for.
