Bone-in Rib Eye Steaks and Chicken Fried Steaks
A favorite of locals in the area and always crowded, the Beehive Restaurant has locations in Abilene and nearby Albany. Primarily a steak house with steaks cooked on an open pit, mesquite fired grill, or as chicken fried steak, the Beehive has an upscale, clubby feeling.
The restaurant is owned by Ali and Neiman Esfandiary, brothers who arrived from Iran decades ago and, incongruously, decided to open an American-style country cafe. Ten to fourteen ounce filets, ribeyes and New York strip steaks are grilled with smoky flavor on the blazingly hot pit in the kitchen.
