"In a delightful homage to culinary excellence, Vagabond Pizza stands as a beacon of gastronomic artistry. Nestled unassumingly in its locale, this pizzeria transcends the mundane, crafting experiences that rival the finest dining establishments. The moment one steps inside, the aroma of perfectly charred dough, melding harmoniously with fresh, vibrant ingredients, captivates the senses. The Lucia pizza, a testament to simplicity, dazzles with its flawless balance of spice from the jalapeno jam and savory sweetness from the salami. Each bite reveals a symphony of flavors, where the crust, a delicate dance between crispness and chewiness, serves as the ideal canvas. Dessert, often an afterthought in many pizzerias, here becomes an event. The honeybee, with its fluffy pastry and cloud like filling blended effortlessly with the honey. Vagabond Pizza is not merely a place to eat; it is a journey into the heart of culinary passion. Each pie crafted with meticulous care, every ingredient thoughtfully selected, Vagabond Pizza reminds us that true artistry in food can be found in the most unexpected places. This establishment is a triumphant ode to the power of simple, well-executed cuisine."

"Had lunch here today and it was the fastest most rude and rushed lunch I ever had! Front hosts we’re super friendly and inviting. Once seated our waitress was so unfriendly and downright rude. Snatched my menu out of my hand before I could finish ordering. Rushed through taking our order. As we were eating she reached over us to grab our plates as we were still trying to enjoy our meal. Yes, it was getting close to closing time but I have NEVER felt so rushed and unsatisfied with service as I was today. Food was AMAZING as usual but I wasn’t even allotted time to finish my chicken fried steak. Had to box it up and finish it in my car. How sad is that!

"It was a nice atmosphere, service was fast. The presentation of the food look amazing. I ordered the regular seafood boil. It tasted really good other than the andouille sausage was pork and we didn?t know that. So after I took a bite of it I immediately felt sick. Also I have never been charged for water at a restaurant. Overall I had a amazing time with my family."

"Multiple people recommended Krua Thai in Abilene and I can sure see why! One of them mentioned to grab it to go and I certainly didn 't understand this was a thing. There are only about 4 to 5 tables inside, and the staff will not move them together to accommodate larger parties. Your whole party must be present to be seated but you can tell they certainly prefer you to take your food to go. Regardless, we had seven of us who chose to be seated. You can definitely tell they are authentically Thai based on this level or lack thereof service. I love that the bottom of every page in the menu states food cannot be returned if too spicy . We ordered a little bit of everything- fried spring rolls, fried shrimp rolls, fried tofu, pad see ew, pad, Thai, panang curry, and Thai basil. Everything was incredibly delicious and this is one of the best Thai food restaurants I 've had in all of Texas. Their Thai tea is one of the best quality teas I 've had the pleasure of drinking, although it wasn 't as sweet as I would prefer. I would definitely chuckle given a Thai iced tea is 2.99 while a Thai tea with no ice is 4.99. We got everything with mild spice as we were certainly scared off between the signs around the restaurant and in the menu. It was the perfect spice for me as someone who enjoys a tiny kick. When you are finished, you pay at the front and they do not take any type of tap payments. I will definitely be back every time I pass through Abilene! Although I 'll likely take it to go next time!"

"Firstly, the bridal suite in the upstairs warehouse area either lacked air conditioning or the system wasn't functioning correctly on our big day, making it uncomfortably warm. Secondly, we had brought our own cigars, and while the coordinator initially informed us that they sell cigars and that smoking was permitted outside, she later changed her tune when she saw us using a butane torch lighter—standard for cigar smokers. She claimed it was a fire hazard and questioned why we couldn't just use matches. Fortunately, one of my groomsmen pointed out that it would take an entire book of matches to light even one cigar. Thirdly, our wedding party was wrongly accused on two occasions of bringing in outside alcohol, which simply wasn't true. My best man had an empty flask that he placed on the table while we were smoking. This raised questions when the coordinator came to confront us about the lighter. Additionally, because we had children in our bridal party, we provided Hawaiian punch upstairs for them, and we were incorrectly accused of drinking that as well. Fourthly, while my maid of honor was in the bridal suite tidying up, the coordinator came up to interrogate her, reminding her that everything needed to be put back as it was found, and proceeded to question her about the Hawaiian punch for the kids. Fifthly, we had chosen a cash bar, and I mistakenly thought this would allow guests to open a tab with a card. As a result, all of our guests ended up using the main bar, which closed down very early because of the confusion. There were several other issues with how customer service was managed, but I don't want to go into all of them. Having worked as head of security for a major bar/event venue in Fort Worth, I’ve never encountered such poor customer service—especially considering we had just paid $2,500 to rent part of the venue. We were respectful and courteous to the staff at The Mill, but we did not receive the same respect in return. Although the venue itself is beautiful, the customer service needs significant improvement. Until these issues are addressed, I would not recommend hosting your wedding here."
