Mr K's Farmhouse Restaurant, Abilene

We were in town visiting Eisenhower Library and museum when we decided to eat at the place Eisenhower him self liked to go. I was thinking this might just be all hype and a tourist trap. I was wrong and have to admit it. The staff was friendly and quick to please. I found that we were seated around people I would call locals and they were friendly and helpful as well. The catfish dinner was the largest and best tasting I've had. Along with all that there was proof that Eisenhower infact was fond of the place. In total the food was good, service great and price was very affordable at $22 for two people. That was soup, salid and catfish dinner. A must do if your spending time in the area. Enjoy

We have been here several times and the food is always good as is the service.And they are always busy! Get there early!!

It may have been good when Lena ran it but it is TERRIBLE now. If you have even a slightly sophisticated palate, PLEASE avoid this place. On a road trip from Phoenix to Kansas City, we found ourselves overnight in Abilene where the locals highly touted Mr. K's. We couldn't have been more disappointed. We started with a fried mushroom appetizer which was of a cheap sports bar quality. The chicken fried steak (a house favorite) is a food service product thawed out and drowned in a packaged gravy. The pan fried chicken (for which we waited 35 minuted) bore none of the tell-tale signs of pan frying and tasted like another food service product. Can you say Cisco Foods? Can you say Banquet? The only tasty part of our meals was the house salad dressing but since it dressed nothing but iceberg lettuce; how good do you think it was? If this is home style cooking (as advertised) why would you prepare it to taste like a frozen dinner?
