“When in Texas, Order Texas Food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

Having returned home to Abilene from the Washington D.C. area where we ate at a Texas style road house," we thought it only fair to eat at a local Texas style road house. And Lytle Land and Cattle is one of the best in the area. This is a simple, rustic place--Western style art and artifacts line the walls. Paper covers the tables. Waitstaff are young, friendly and aim to please.

Take a cue from the name of the restaurant and order "cattle" when you visit. The mesquite grilled rib eye was cooked to my exact specifications. My wife tried the talapia....umm....which part of Texas features Talapia? She would agree, I made the better choice. On other trips I have had good success with the grilled pork chops and beef tips with mashed potatoes and brown gravy. The bread is hot and the beer is cold. The loaded baked potato is large and, well, loaded....skip the salad as it is little more than iceberg lettuce.

Lytle Land and Cattle is what it is....a steak house. Stick with grilled steaks and chops and it is hard to go wrong here.

“Great food and service!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

Wanting to kill some time with a good meal. Found the right place! Had wifi, great service (Kenzie) and great food. The rib eye was good with cowboy potatoes. We came early and enjoyed happy hour but the funny thing is that they didn't have specials on beer and wine. I
Highly recommend the place.

“A place to have a "Texan" food experience.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

Some things at Lytle are great. Mesquite grilled steak, chicken, pork, fish are the specialty. Sometimes they overcook my steak. The service is always exceptional and the owner is often around. The decor is rustic and you can smell the grill when you walk in the place. The menu is huge...almost too big so sometimes when you order something that isn't cooked often, it isn't quite up to par. Drink specials nightly and often live music out on the patio on the weekends. I usually get the tenderloin medallions or the catfish. The tempura battered veggies are addictive but you have to eat them while they are hot or they get too greasy. Green chili stew and cowboy stew are tasty on a cold day. It is very popular so call ahead for seating on weekends or if there is an event at the Coliseum down the road.

“Excellent steaks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

The steaks here are very, very good. I love a good steak and consider myself a bit of a snob when it comes to eating steaks. I have returned to this place several times because I enjoy it so much. The NY Strip is the best, give it a try.
