Was Victoria at Grain Theory a mag?
I tried their burger and it was delicious—juicy and full of flavor. However, the fries were undersalted and a bit hard. The staff were very friendly, which was nice. The fish and chips were good, and the Purple Haze dish is fantastic, but the fries often have a tough, chewy texture. View all feedback.

What Shara S dislikes about Grain Theory:
I wasn't particularly impressed with this restaurant. The quality of the food didn't match the prices, which was disappointing. While the food tasted good, it felt lacking in some way. On the positive side, the atmosphere is lovely! It's a great place to gather with friends or enjoy happy hour. Although I probably won't return for a meal, the drinks were decent! View all feedback.

We popped in for a meeting and a beer and ended up staying for dinner. The lighter Pilsner had a great flavor and taste while not being overwhelming or having an after taste that stays with you. The fish was soft and fried just right for us. We also went the route of a whole bunch of items from the pretzels to the smaller app plates and found they really made for a nice night. The outdoor seating is great and the team there is on top of things.

Downtown Abilene deliciousness. A great place to eat in Downtown Abilene. Outdoor seating was nice but one side of the building is VERY sunny. Fish and chips were crisp and filling. I got the larger portion that came with two pieces.

I would drive hours just for the breakfast tacos!! Oh wait, I did! I live in Australia and come to Dallas for work, but my time in Texas MUST include a trip to Grain Theory. Although known for the most creative, refreshing, and smooth beers, the food isOFF THE CHARTS DELICIOUS!! It’s beyond more-ish… leaves you wanting for more of the amazing flavours. Definitely worth thedrive from Dallas!! And the flight from Aus x The cinnamon latte is a delightful holiday coffee treat!
