    Cow Town Corral
    "Head 'em up and move 'em out!" to the newest family dining restaurant in the territory. Located in the heart of downtown Abilene, the Cow Town Corral combines atmosphere and a wide range of lunch, dinner and dessert selections in a beautifully remodeled, historic building. With several years of experience that includes ship galleys, a hunting lodge, celebrity guest ranch, small cafes, renowned restaurants, catering, personal chefs and food research and development for a large restaurant; this ain't their first rodeo.

    Rex and Nancy Fancher, owners of the new Cow Town Corral, know what it takes to make great food and a great dining experience. After owning their own restaurant for several years they decided to sell and travel. They continued to work in new food venues and their passion for serving their fantastic creations continued to grow.

    The Cow Town Corral will serve a variety of unique and special dishes as well as "old favorites with a new twist". A full service lunch and dinner menu with appetizers compliments a kid's menu and dessert menu. There are selections for steak lovers, seafood lovers and vegetarians as well. The Cow Town Corral will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and plan to open the first week of July in Abilene.
