They serve good bar-b-q in the front of the restaurant. Walk through the swinging doors and walk back into time to an old fashioned beer joint with cold draft beer and plenty of local flavor. more

If you don't like the rib eye steak at Perinis , well I don't want to eat at your pick. location. This is a an authentic Texas restaurant.

The steak at Perini's is fantastic, as is the bread pudding. I had the opportunity to go with a couple of locals, friends of Tom Perini, which definitely enhanced the experience. Tom Perini joined us at the table and regaled our party. The man has prepared State dinners for the current Bush administration, both in DC and Crawford. Perini's is... more

I was recently in Abilene for a seminar, and drove out to the Perini Ranch for dinner, since I had heard so much about it.

Perini Ranch is glorifed in Texas and the big cities such as Dallas, however, they need to quit resting on their laurels and get back to some basics. We recently went to dinner there on a Wednesday evening at 6pm--we were asked if we had reservations in a less than friendly manner, then when we didn't, were told we would... more
