Regular customers claim that Joe Allen's serves the best steaks and barbecue in town, maybe in West Texas. Harold's is a typical neighborhood barbecue joint in a nondescript cinder-block building. Prices are inexpensive. The truck stop, just west of Abilene, is open 24 hours a day.
Breakfast is served all day.
There's a Mexican food buffet on Mondays. People come from miles around for the homemade soups and for the barbecued ribs and chicken-fried steak. Prices are inexpensive. Perini's offers a variety of steaks, including the house specialty, a 16-oz. Ranch Roast Rib Eye, served with garden fresh salad and either cowboy potatoes or ranch beans.
