The building of this restaurant is a really neat, old building with original brick and metal ceilings. The service was really good and so was the food. The food was overpriced for the presentation. It tasted good but I was underwhelmed as it arrived at the table. I would recommend giving Cypress Street a try.

We only had one night in the adorable town of Abilene. We were referred to Cypress Street Station. Our meal was absolutely amazing!!! Crystal our bartender and wait staff was friendly, efficient and beautiful. The General Manager Mathew came by to introduce himself and make sure we were enjoying our delicious meal. Support local and come visit this incredible restaurant! You won’t be disappointed 🤗🤗🤗

Maddy made my day and experience one to remember! First time in this establishment and I highly recommend the food and atmosphere! The rainbow trout and house salad is so awesome! Excellent service and choices of local brews! Five dime blonde was a wonderful tasting pairing with the lunch.

Hubby and I had a late lunch. The atmosphere and service is always great. We love their ice tea. Everything on the menu is good. This trip I had the grilled trout, lightly blackened, very good. We will return.

Met a friend for lunch. Great place to meet--quiet, not a large choice for lunch but adequate, prices are lower at lunch than for the dinner menu. Very attentive wait staff-Management made the rounds of the tables to make sure everyone was satisfied. I had a grilled chicken salad. It was very good. Lots of grilled chicken. Adequate portion.

We sat at the bar and the ladies there were extremely friendly and accommodating. They took my food allergy seriously (I was allergic to nearly everything on the menu) and worked with me to make sure I could have a safe a delicious meal. I recommend the lighthouse pasta. Literally the best cooked scallops Ive had off-coast and certainly one of the best, period. The gals recommended a lovely cocktail the sidecar that I loved. Great experience and will be visiting again next time I am in Abilene.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and food immensely. The waitress was kind and attentive. The pulled pork sandwich was spectacular. The desserts were worth going back for soon!

My burger was great. The fried green tomatoes were a little lack luster. The fish for fish and chips was over cooked. The sweet tea was almost unsweet. The homemade chips were really the star of everything. I do wish they offered more for kids.

Review №16

We decided to get off of the interstate to find lunch and ended up at Cypress Street Station. The hostess and waitress were friendly and the service was pretty quick. The bathrooms were clean. My husband enjoyed the Texas Storm wrap. I had the Thai chicken salad. The grilled chicken was good and the greens were fresh. I think the dressing could have had a little more vinegar and a little more kick but it wasnt bad.

Just visited my favorite burger place, Cypress Street Station. They certainly do more than burgers, but they are the only ones that nail the perfect cook temperature every time. My friend ordered the pork chop and it was fantastic, too. This is class act dining every time. Thanks Terry and Amanda!

We stopped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly and informative. We had the calamari as an appetizer. Its not the traditional style and was excellent. It has some sweet and some spice that blends magically! We had sandwiches that were so yummy I forgot to take a pic. We will definitely be back!!

My family and I sat down for a late lunch/early dinner on a Friday. I come to this restaurant almost every year during the calf festival and occasional date nights, and always enjoy their food and atmosphere. This year was the first year after covid we attended both venues, and after a delicious meal and some cooling off, our server Zane gave us our check, I paid with my debit card and left a cash tip, because to me, cash is more concrete and accessible than leaving off a debit card. As we left, the manager stopped my partner to chat about an issue, I wasn’t sure what the conversation was, I thought it may have to do with something else. So my kids and I waited outside for my partner, he informed me that the manager was very rude and treated him poorly about the tip for the server. So I went inside, as I’m the one that paid for the meal, because I feel as a server you know your table, the people sitting there, and ultimately who is paying for the meal. I addressed the issue with the manager and I told him the cash was pinned on the inside of the receipt with the pen I signed the receipt with, so it would not be dropped. The manager proceeds to look high and low under tables and finally addresses our server Zane, after some time in the back of the kitchen he comes out and apologizes but only for “advocating” for their servers and making sure they are tipped. First, I understand tipping for a service well done, but after the accusations for NOT tipping as we did tip, I wished I would have asked for that tip back. You manager and server Zane on duty the date of June 11,2021 between the time of 1:52 and 3, were an absentminded, disrespectful, and a sexism/race discriminating duo. Advocating for your servers is a practice I respect, however there are respectful ways to get that across to customers who DON’t usually tip, not customers who do tip. We won’t be attending this venue, nor will I keep recommending this place to newcomers from out of town. This after experience we had has left the worst taste and completely wiped the good eating experience we had.

The best line up of Irish Whisky Ive had the pleasure of sampling, and Ive tipped a few in the great taverns of Boston. All of your favorite spirits of all varieties and a nice collection of local beers on tap.A great experience for date night, business get together or just a few friends out and about.

Awesome food selection. Everything tasted amazing, especially the mushroom and sausage soup of the day. Several beer options; however, online showed this place had their own beers, but, they do not and only serve other beers. They carry about 8-10 local draft options, but have several wine and mixed drink selections. Definitely worth trying out

Had the pleasure of dining here during an over night stay in Abilene. To be honest we selected Cypress Street because it was one of the very few local restaurants that was open Monday plus it was downtown. Everything was great from Rebecca service to the food and the atmosphere.

Review №65

Super disappointed. Ordered food for two and given the reviews expected much more. Maybe the lunch menu is just not the thing to go for. Burger looked like a frozen patty. We ordered the calamari with sauce on the side, you shouldnt have to drown your food for it to have any flavor and the breading has none, not even salt to taste. Fries were soggy, and so were the fish and chips. I understand that condensation builds in containers, but good god. We picked it up on time and live less than a mile from this place. Total miss.

Came here for lunch and was treated with great service and the atmosphere is old-fashioned and nice. I got the Tri-Tip Tacos and they were good. The meat was a bit rough and there couldve been a little bit more flavor. Came with a side of chips & salsa which were also good, salsa has a bit of spice to it. Overall I was satisfied and would come back again.

Wow! I cannot believe I waited so long to try Cypress! Food was excellent but I cannot commend this business enough...the service was absolutely over the top good!I made a reservation for last Saturday evening for our wedding anniversary dinner. I wanted something special for my wife and let me tell you...these guys knocked it out of the park! I spoke with Terry and he asked me a few questions, recommended Philpots for flowers, and he said well be ready for you guys. We walked in and I clearly noticed the hostess knew who we were (wife had no clue) and she walks us over to a table in the best spot in the place-beatuifully sat and ready with flowers, balloons, white table cloth and all! The server introduced himself and informed us a appetizer was on the way. Terry clearly took notes during our short conversation and had the perfect appetizer made for us...I had no clue! We enjoyed the great food-appetizer, meal, and desert was absolutely fantastic! During our meal 5 separate folks came over and congratulated us...the sincerity alone really made this experience the absolute best. We laughed together, laughed with the staff and thoroughly enjoyed itI cant say enough about this business. They set the standard for service! Cypress youve got a forever customer...the passion to serve your customers is astonishing!

Our server, Duke, was knowledgeable and respectful. There was a list of a dozen or so craft beers on tap. I enjoyed my choice of the vanilla porter. My wife looked her chicken salad. I chose with a standard house half pound hamburger with bacon. This came with home-fried potato chips, which were delicious. Our appetizer, the fried green tomatoes should not be overlooked. It was savory and salty and the best weve ever had. My only regret was not asking the waiter to cook my hamburger medium rare. The standard here seems to be well done, which led to a too dry burger for my taste. If youre in the Abilene area, check it out.

Review №83

The place itself was nice, cool fireplace that wasnt on. The food unfortanely was almost unacceptable. Potato skins were bad, cold, cheap cheese on top. The bacon in theWedge salad was crunchy. Not crunchy bacon feel from slightly overcooked bacon, this was the crunch from stale old bacon. The kind that hurts the bite to into. The fish on the fish and chips dish was this pathetic looking fish-stick type of thing. And if those fries are hand cut they must have the Keebler back there cutting these little guys out.The server was friendly and kept our glasses full.

My first time was not good. The potato soup had no substance, bitter cheese broth. The tortilla soup also needed something more than broth, maybe corn or rice. The calamari was gross. It wasn’t cut up and fried crispy, instead limp slabs of rubber. Never again.

Review №89

The relaxed atmosphere is great, most restaurants with food quality of this caliber are white linen tablecloths and stuffy. My only suggestion is that both times we have eaten there the side dishes described, the first time as roasted vegetables and second time as mashed potatoes with cheese or something and neither time did they explain why we had a rice side instead.. I am sure had I asked they would have explained, the rice side was sticky and not much flavor. The main entree, appetizers and drinks are top quality as is the hostess and wait staff. We will be back.

Very good food. We used them for our wedding. Although they close on Sundays, the managers were eager to provide catered meals for wedding in a Sunday. The chef came in to prepare food for our small wedding of 15 people and they allowed us to use their utensils for free. We had plenty of food left over.

Review №99

Not a fan. Scallops came out fairly cold and burnt, although large in size, presentation was cheap looking. The filet was tender, yet dry, and lacked flavor. Stepdaughters meat loaf was over cooked and did not enjoy it. The inside appearance doesnt inspire much confidence either. No music, lack of staff personality...simply bland all around. No one was rude at all just bland. However, excellent bartender. Good drinks, good mixology. For the markup price, Ill stay away from now on.
