Was told by a customer service agent at the airport to check out Lytle. I was impressed upon walking in with the size and decorations. However, a lot of that ended when I sat at the bar, which was virtually empty, and received very lackluster service. I could understand if the bar and restaurant were busy, but they were not. After a lot of reflection after leaving I realized that I was ignored many times by the staff. I wasn’t even asked if I wanted water, bread (which was complimentary, and after asking for it was super dry), or a bag for my leftovers. After receiving the smallest steak on earth (which was a 4 oz filet mignon for $28?!), and two sets of green beans which were salty, I had to hurry to the airport. While waiting for my food I had to swat off several flies from dropping in my old fashioned, which was actually decent. However, I would not return for a juicy steak due to the service. I hope this improves in the future.

Stopped here before the Permian High Playoff game November 21, 2025. It was really good. We had the Rib Eye tips, sweet potato, green beans. We also had the banana pudding! Delicious!

Glad i came to try there steak, was juicy, flavorful, tender. Just amazing. Salad was fresh, bread was not bad fluffy soft and warm. Service was on point everyone had a smile on there face i sat at the bar and my bertender was great and recommended some steaks, and i didn’t feel rushed to order. Overall steak was 81/2 out of 10 would definetley come back try other dishes and steaks for sure .

Food was ok. . Nothing special. Ive had better chicken fried steak at every other restaurant in Abilene that serves cfs. Asked 2 times for more gravy and never got it. Green beans were edible. My date didnt like them. Masshed potatoes had a little flavor and tasted ok. The steak, though,was pretty good. The steak was the only thing worth the price… maybe. I wont be going back anytime soon

All of our food here exceeded our expectations. The steak – the best I’ve had in a while. Quail, fish and country fried steak was delicious along with their sides and drinks. Definitely recommend.

Food is typically pretty good,was a 45 minute wait but it was the weekend in Abilene so the norm. Took awhile for a old fashioned but they were slammed. Not a fan of the remodel of the bar,rustic was better but probably more friendly for the bartender. Food was good,waiter did awesome. Need to take ends and pieces off the menu if its never available or add it permanently. Past 10 times we have gone as a group,probably only been available twice.

This was our second visit, and unfortunately it didn’t live up to our first experience. We brought friends with us and the restaurant wasn’t very busy, so we were surprised by the quality.
The steaks lacked flavor compared to our first visit, and the mashed potatoes and fried okra were cold along with the rest of the sides at our table. Overall, the food quality and flavor were disappointing this time around.
That said, the service was great, and our server was attentive and friendly. We hope this was just an off night, but it was definitely not what we expected based on our previous visit.

Great food. The sauteed mushrooms were really great. The chicken fried steak was huge! We never did get bread, but I saw other tables get some. It was Saturday night at 6, and busy, so I get it. That also accounted for 3 other folks getting served at the bar who came in after us. I had the salmon which was good, but a bit overcooked. The fried okra was good too. Chicken fried steak was fork-tender – delicious! Mixed review, I know.

Stopped in for an early dinner. I ordered the Half & Half, my husband got the New York Strip, and my daughter got the Salmon steak. We were disappointed they didn’t have the ribeye bites but the food we ordered was very good. Our server was very nice too. Overall it was a good experience, but it is very pricey. We will definitely go back though.
