Foodie Friday: Ike's Place Bar & Grill - Abilene, Kansas
After driving to Abilene for a wedding dress fitting....well a dress fitting for a dress
I am wearing in my friend's wedding. lol The day I get married will probably be the
same day hell freezes over! I mean just knowing the amount of "I told you so's" I'd have
to hear is enough to make me want to not do it. Sorry dad. lol But anyway...not the point.
Since I don't find myself in Abilene all that often I figured I needed to take advantage of the
opportunity and try out a new Foodie Friday place! So scroll on down to see if Ike's Place was worth a stop!

I walked in through the doors of Ike's Place and looked at what appeared to
be a divided space. One side for the bar complete with colored lighting and TVs and the
other side for the grill and family dining. I stood at the hostess stand waiting to be seated
for a little while before I was noticed, but the host was very nice and once he saw me
he got me to a booth on the grill side quickly where I began to look over the menu.

For an appetizer I decided to put in an order of the cowboy nachos with
the obvious choice of fries over tortilla chips.

Then, after a lot of back and forth with myself, I finally landed on the BBQ burger with a side of mashed potatoes for my main lunch.

Outside the restaurant looks like a pretty standard place however the inside of the restaurant
is a lot more updated than I was expecting and provides a fun bar space
on one side (perfect for game days) and a larger dining space on the other side that felt comfortable and like
you were dining at home. Even though I had to wait a little while to get seated the host and
my waitress were both EXTREMELY nice and I felt really well taken care of the entire time
I was there. The food came out fairly quickly and while not the best burger I have ever had
it certainly was delicious. Oh and those cowboy nachos?! Shoooo-weee were
those good....and spicy. I was NOT expecting that kind of a kick with them, but y'all those
jalapeños they used on mine were not messing around! I did have to take the food rating
down just a little bit though because I was not a fan of my mashed potatoes at all and
y'all know you don't mess with my potatoes. Lol In the end I would definitely return to eat here
especially for those cowboy nachos.
