Award winning, famous steakhouse outside of Abilene about 20 minutes. Set in the middle of the country. Don't let the decor fool you. It's the fanciest un-fancy steakhouse. It's the best steak you'll sink your teeth into. Even presidents have shipped them to D.C. for catering. And, the sides are equally good. Don't forget the dessert - the Strawberry Shortcake and BreadPudding are our fave!
