I was born in Abilene. We moved to Austin in '84 and now I am raising my family in New Braunfels. My parents moved back since all of us kids are gone. The rest of my family has always been in Abilene.
Hello Abileneans, uh, Abileneites, uh...Hello all y'all from Abilene. I'll be comin through there in a couple weeks. Probably be hungry by then. Where do I go to get the best burger in town? Also, a good friend of mine was born and bred there. Parents are still there. Name is Gilliland. Know em? Isn't it funny when you meet someone from the same place as someone you know, you ask them if they know old so-and-so? Like you know everybody in a town of 120 thousand people.
Hey there west of Abilene, really closer to Sweetwater, but we refer to going to Abilene as "going to the big city", but when I retired from the Army I was just looking for a place to build a home and get away from everyone, and this is where we landed.
RedRaider I'm way late with the answer to your best burger in Abilene question....but there's three good options within 15 min drive of the Abilene area:
1) Beehive in downtown Abilene
2) Perini Ranch in Buffalo Gap
3) Lucy's in Tuscola
