The Cattle Baron in Abilene,Tx

So based on others, and Yelpers I decided to go to the Cattle Baron and try a burger, you know me a burger! We walked in and noticed place looked "baronish" , greeted friendly at the door and then walked all the way past all the tables and taken to a back room, mind you were only ones here.
 I was like "sweet" they've heard of me and I'm getting special treatment....nope. So the hostess leaves and waitress walks up takes order all normal here. Menu has burgers named after Texas cities, kinda cool, other than the meatless "Dallas" lol stupid Dallas, jk.
 We get the onion rings for an appetizer, recommended by our server saying they were her favorite thing they had...note: should have taken notice a bit closer. After about 5 min she walks back up and tells us might be longer because they cut batter and fry to order the rings. Ok! now a bit more excited.

Onion rings were best thing I had. The fries were ok the burger nope good try. The meat only had a charcoal burned flavor but looked and wasn't burnt. The staff needs alot of training. And why I'd it that I always get a huge family with small kids RIGHT NEXT TO ME!  The hostess sat families at every table all the way around me. Rest of place was empty!!

After the meal we go to leave and the owner/manager? asked us how meal was. I told him same thing I'm telling you now and instead of being apologetic like I was expecting he just didn't seem too concerned. However said he would look into whats going on in the back.

My suggestions to the Cattle Baron, presentation was spot on! A but lets work on the quality. What food looks like gets you first bite, taste is what brings us back. Meat to bun ratio, bread was good and pretty but patty too flavorless and small.

Suggestions to Travelers, Go and try for yourself let me know, maybe it was just my experience. But now I'm leery about another chance.

Check website for pictures and more reviews as always!
