The 50 best breakfast and brunch in Waco

First time visit here while I was in Austin. The atmosphere was quaint and cute. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The server was a wonderful young lady and very friendly! The best thing we ate was the appetizer of maple bacon & deviled eggs... absolutely hands down the BEST 👌 10 OUT OF 10! The other food we got was good but the eggs and bacon app was the show!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Magnolia Table is truly a special experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with that signature Magnolia charm that makes you feel right at home. The staff was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The biscuits and strawberry butter are a must-try, and every dish we ordered felt like it was made with care and attention to detail. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and delicious. What really stood out was how everything—from the décor to the menu—felt thoughtful and intentional. It’s not just a place to eat, it’s an experience that leaves you smiling long after you leave. I highly recommend Magnolia Table to anyone visiting Waco. Whether it’s breakfast with family or brunch with friends, this is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.

Definitely make a reservation! My son ordered Jo's crunchy French toast with over easy eggs and bacon, my sister and I ordered the Farm house breakfast and we had coffee. Everything was SO good. The French toast was the favorite. The bacon is very good too. We were seated at 10:20 am, and our reservation was at 10:30 am today. Service was very good and the food was delicious! We loved the atmosphere! The plant boxes everywhere were very nice. The restrooms were very clean and they had an attendant in there to keep it clean. We appreciated that there wasn't music playing in the background. You could just hear the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant and the conversations of people enjoying a meal together. We will make sure Magnolia Table is part of our annual trip to Silobration!

Came here for the first time for a quick brunch, and also because I was curious about this place I watched on Fixer Upper years ago. Perhaps because it was a Tuesday, it was very easy to make a 12.30pm reservation last minute. Still, the place was full when I got there, and I felt lucky to find a spot right away in the parking lot. Upon entering, I found the place quite large and bright, although the hostess could be a bit more welcoming to guests. Once seated, service and food came quickly, and my server was excellent. I ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg, and a pumpkin spiced latte with soy milk. Perhaps paying $16.50 for one slice of toast with no sides was a bit expensive, I was pleasantly surprised that it was super tasty, and the sourdough bread was nice and soft, just the way I liked it. The pumpkin spiced latte was a bit too sweet for me, but the flavor was good. All in all, it was a very nice experience and I would certainly recommend this place for brunch.

Beautiful restaurant! The staff was amazing! Food was good, but not exactly that "next level" I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, it was good, and I would go back. I guess with all the hype I was expecting more. But overall its an awesome dining experience. I suggest reservations. It was packed when we arrived and the seated us immediately.

Here in Waco with my daughter for the weekend and we planned dinner here, I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and our waitress was amazing, exception service. We had the chicken biscuit sliders for our appetizer and it did not disappoint, I ordered the steak frites but subbed the blue cheese sauce for the chimichurri sauce and also subbed the fries for the mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were a ok, my steak was unevenly cooked (I like medium rare) and a bit chewy/tough, but I'm a hard critic when it comes to steak, the chimichurri sauce was amazing!! My daughter had the bucatini pasta and that was perfect! Overall food and service was good I would definitely come back but I would just choose a different main entree! very good, however

Cannot say enough positive words about Magnolia Table. Now folks, Magnolia Table, and the Silos including Magnolia Market have come to be quite the destinations in Waco, and we knew that going in. So, we made reservatioons at Magnolia Table for 2:00pm on a weekday. When we arrived about 15 minutes early we were seated within 5 minutes. Had a VERY pleasant server. We ordered the Breakfast Sandwich (Her) and I had the French Toast Crunch. Photos of both attached. Both meals were EXCELLENT. Our only complaints (an observation more than complaint) was that the portions were HUGE. My wife didn't fininsh her side of potatoes, and I really struggled with my French Toast. The couple next to us (had a nice chat with them during the meal) left 1/2 their food on the plates. So, 5 stars for Magnolia Table. The place was spotless, waitress was very pleasant, food was excellent, and restrooms were tidy. Like I said, make reservations well in advance if possible, and yeah ... you'll likely be dining in a full restaurant.

Food was freshhhh and delicious! Very good atmosphere and very clean. Look for my girl Ariel for service! Good young lady in the front. Breakfast was amazing! Just look at the photos below. Great work you guys!

Cafe Cappuccino – Pancake Heaven or Pancake Hype? Downtown Waco’s Cafe Cappuccino brands itself as “Pancake Heaven”—lit up in neon like a promise. But anytime you declare heavenly status in breakfast form, you better deliver. So… did they? Atmosphere & Setup Cozy, diner-esque with a touch of charm (including a random Eiffel Tower photo that keeps things interesting). The big catch? You’ve got to scan a QR code at the entrance to get on the waitlist. Not exactly warm and fuzzy, but it’s efficient—especially on weekends. Food Rundown • Breakfast Taco: Bacon, hash browns, cheese, and eggs folded inside a flour tortilla. A bit of shredded cheddar and a side of picante sauce—which, honestly, felt like a throwback. Not the worst, not the best—just unexpected. Would’ve preferred a fresh, in-house salsa to lift the flavor. • Sweet Potato Pancake: Huge. Like, one covers the whole plate huge. Texture was nice, edges had a crisp, and it was sweet without being overkill. Ate about half and called it a win. • Coffee: Solid. Hot. No complaints. And the best part? Tony, my server, offered me a to-go coffee without even being asked. That’s next-level. Service: The Real Highlight Let’s talk about Tony. Attentive, friendly, checked on me multiple times without hovering. He anticipated what I needed, and honestly, that elevated the whole experience. It’s rare to get that kind of thoughtful service these days—Tony’s the kind of person that makes you want to come back, even if the pancakes don’t knock you off your feet. Egg Surcharge? Yep. There’s a whole sign about it at the front. “Due to rising egg prices…” and so on. Honestly, I’d rather they just build it into the menu price and call it a day. Nobody wants to walk into a breakfast spot and be greeted by a cost breakdown memo. Final Take: 4 out of 5 stars. The food? Decent. The vibe? Chill. The service? Exceptional. Tony, if you’re reading this—you’re the MVP. And if you go, just know one pancake is plenty. They don’t mess around with portion sizes. ⸻ Want this adapted into a short review for Yelp/Google with a photo caption suggestion too?

Really delicious breakfasts with whole wheat pancakes and sugar free syrup. And they have the most sugar free coffee flavor options I've ever seen. Really friendly staff. Highly recommend.

This place was recommended by a friend. I've been to several coffee shop / breakfast places in Waco but this one had the biggest menu of them all and everything I ordered was great. As a matter of fact I came back three more times during the week I was here!

We had been wanting to try breakfast here. To start; we waited a while for service which wasn't a big deal until we realized that we were 1 of about 4 tables in the whole place and there were 3 servers. My cappuccino was very watery as were my husband's biscuits and gravy. Not runny gravy... watery. Not creamy at all. Of all the offerings on the menu I chose quiche... I had been craving a good quiche. This place was usually busy and I felt that reflected of the food and service. It smelled clean when we walked in so we thought they're bound to be good... NO. My "quiche" came out and visibly I was already disappointed. It looked like a brick that you build houses with. I stuck my fork in and got the same.... it was pre-made (which I expected) hard, rubbery, and hard to chew. And while the pancakes had good flavor they left much to be desired in the fluff department. To the owners of this establishment; please Google what quiche is and take the brick off the menu! Last but not least; I was forced to eat said brick because I was starving and my server never came back to check on me. Very disappointing date with my husband.... UPDATE- As can be seen below; business owners don't have time for a genuine response anymore. While we appreciate your apology it is not taken with the same feeling of mutual respect when it is obviously the same bulk chain response that every guest gets when we come to an owner with genuine concern for their business. We do not take time out of our day to review your place of business to hurt your business. We take time to give you a review because we want to see you get better and do better. Have a nice day and please do better.

Brittany was our waitress. She was wonderful with the kids & very helpful with suggestions for meals. My son said, "Britanny was the best waitress!! These were the best pancakes in the world!!!! I give it 1 million of 5 🌟 🤩 ⭐️. Next time we come to Waco this is our breakfast place. "

Been here a few times, it’s one of the better breakfast places in Waco. We waited about about 5-10 minutes using the check in website to check in. Service was quick to get us drinks and take our food order. After we ordered it took a bit for our food to come out. Maybe 25-30 minutes. The music kept fluctuating in volume which was a bit distracting. Also someone was messing with the lights. The lights in the restaurant turned on and off a few times but no big deal. The food was mostly very great. Mexican mash is super flavorful. Everything was cooked really well except the biscuits and gravy was cold. One single egg on the side was charged 4.05 with surprising and a bit of a rip off since a lot of the items were just barely more than that for a larger amount of food. Other than the biscuits and gravy being cold, overcharged for a single egg, and the food taking a bit to come out it was great. We enjoyed it!

This place is amazing. The architecture is beautiful. I took my fiancé to see Gene Watson for his birthday. It was hands down one of the best concerts we have ever seen. The only complaint, I believe, would be that when we went to buy souvenirs, it was cash only. I know thats not the venues fault. Just a fyi. Thank you for making his birthday so memorable 🩷

Epic experience. Great staff and seating. Can't wait to come back for other shows!!

Just saw a Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison tribute and really enjoyed it. Parking was easy, just a half a block away. Comfortable seating, we were on the 6th row, so great seats. Tickets purchased online several weeks ago. The entertainment and sound were great! Would definitely go back again. Venue was very nice, and just the right size to be easy-in and easy-out. We had dinner at the 1928 after and it was great! Terry Black's BBQ is new and right down the block as well, as is Pivovar is you want German style food. Many choices, ample parking on a Sunday evening.

I want to give a special shoutout to Sunshine, part of the amazing cleaning staff at the Waco Hippodrome. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and had such a positive energy. Every time I saw him, he was working hard — never standing still — always making sure everything was clean and running smoothly. His dedication and kindness truly stood out and made our visit even better. Thank you, Sunshine, for everything you do!

Love the Waco Hippodrome – A True Cultural Treasure! I absolutely love the Waco Hippodrome! This historic venue is such a vibrant part of the community and consistently delivers excellent shows that appeal to all kinds of audiences. From live music and theater to film screenings and special events, the programming is always thoughtfully curated and top-notch. The quality of the performances is outstanding, featuring incredibly talented artists who pour their hearts into every show. Whether you’re watching a local production or a visiting act, the experience is always engaging and memorable. The intimate setting of the Hippodrome creates a special connection between the audience and performers, making each event feel personal and unique. The staff and volunteers are friendly, helpful, and passionate about the arts, which adds to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear that a lot of love and care goes into maintaining the venue and supporting the arts community here in Waco. If you haven’t been to the Waco Hippodrome yet, you’re truly missing out on one of the city’s best cultural gems. It’s a perfect place for a night out, whether you’re with friends, family, or on a date. I can’t recommend it enough and always look forward to my next visit!

This is an historic building that, like the Tardis, seems bigger on the inside. When I say historic, I mean it, they have photos lining the hallway outside the theater with several famous vintage acts. Once you get used to the seating arrangements, everything makes sense (seat 1 to 4 on each row are on the far right with an aisle separating it from seat 5 and up until another aisle and 4 more seats on the left.) We saw several people sit in the wrong spots and adjust when someone came for the seat. It is a smaller more intimate venue which I think is perfect for some shows. Parking can be confusing so get there early and drive around a little. The sound is good and I expect to see several shows here.

Love the Hippodrome go ever chance we can when we are in town visiting our children. Seen " Johnny Cash" and just recently "Elvis". Enjoyed them both, but the youngman that did Elvis was wonderful.He made all the ladies young and old feel special and his interaction with the audiance was great. We could have stayed all night and listen to him..May come back in May.

I loved my visit to World Cup Cafe. I’m new to town - googled Best Breakfasts in Waco - and World Cup came up. It definitely lived up to the hype. The staff was super caring and attentive. The food was fantastic. I got the Huaca Hash. I will definitely be coming back. On top of the great food and service - the mission of the restaurant is very encouraging.

Our ladies group met here for coffee and Bible Study. This is such a a great place. 3 of our ladies have an October birthday and we were surprised when Chef Mike brought out chocolate covered strawberries and he and his staff sang "happy birthday". What a blessing! We will definitely come here again. We are about to order lunch here. You need to check it out. This place is awesome!!! ❤️

Comfortable diner atmosphere. There's a counter with swivel chairs, the waitress yelled at the cook, there's classic rock on the speakers but not loud - everything you want in a diner. The pancakes were really good and HUGE for the price. They also have a lunch menu I want to come back for.

Excellent service! Marjean was Awesome. The food is Amazing! We had breakfast. Pancakes taste homemade. Chef Mike was grilling it up. Our server Quantesha was the best and she made the best Carmel latte I have ever had! I will definitely be back!

The owner was friendly and welcoming. That is where that ended. I ordered French toast and over medium eggs and they were served on the same plate 😭 since she put the food down and ran away, I couldn't ask her for anything else. She saw me not eating when she went to a table next to mine and still walked away after taking their order. Finally 8 minutes later I flagged her down so I could PLEASE eat my food. All I needed was a plate for the French toast. Everything tasted great except that it was cold since I was being ignored and my eggs were ruined with maple syrup and pecans. When I finally asked for another plate she said, "for what, to go?" Um, no, I would like to eat my food. Everything is great by the way thanks for asking!!! I will never return based on this visit.

What an incredible experience! This breakfast diner isn’t just about good food, it’s about God’s goodness in action. The atmosphere was full of warmth and purpose. Chef Mike was phenomenal! His hospitality made the meal even better, and hearing his testimony was powerful. You can truly see that God hand placed him here. The food was delicious, the service heartfelt, and the mission behind it all makes every bite even more meaningful. Highly recommend supporting this beautiful ministry!

Had breakfast with a group of artist friends at this wonderful Cafe in Waco! Loved The breakfast bowl. We even sketched in the cafe because it's so cute! Staff is friendly and attentive too!

came in the drive thru my food came upside down with a side of greasy utensils and tortillas. called them and all they said was “okay” they obviously don’t care about their customer service. *EDIT* i can’t figure out how to respond directly. this happened yesterday 2/7/24 around 10am or almost exactly at 10am. i did not get my receipt but i can tell you who took my order and who brought me my food, as well as what i ordered.

The only reason I’m giving this place 1 star is because I can’t give 0. The server didn’t even bother coming to our table until 30 minutes later, and that was only after I asked for service. The environment does give off good Mexican vibes, but that’s the only positive thing I can say. The service was absolutely terrible and the food was mediocre at best. Definitely not worth the time or money.

Only recommended if like your fried talapia hard to chew, along with the quaint odor of a sewer. I sat by the kitchen doorway, but had to keep asking myself: “ What’s that odor?”. Then I realized it was sewage. You can smell the men’s toilet in the dining area if you take a deep breath. I ordered the fried talapia. It came out hard as a brick. The bartender chased me away from the bar by urging probably a regular to take the line seat. I deferred and passed on the margaritas. You should pass on this place.

This is one of my all time favorite Mexican restaurants in Texas. I do not live near Waco but when around the area I make sure to stop. Food is absolutely amazing! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner have never disappointed! The location is a little rough but don’t let that deter you at all!

Update 1/25/23- So we’ve been here a handful of times and we usually love the service and food but tonight was different. We’ve been dieting since the new year but decided to go out to dinner since it was my mother in laws Birthday. She wanted Mexican and we all thought of Ranchito at the same time. This was our first cheat meal in over 3 weeks and it honestly couldn’t have been more disappointing. Ratings are as below- The service 2/5: Our waitress had a large table to serve all night along with our table. Understandably she spent more time with her larger group that us with our table of food. She got our orders and drinks and then we didn’t see her again until our food came out. She would just hover and wait around until someone in her larger group needed something. We wanted new chips (the majority of the ones we had left were literally soggy and flimsy due to being drenched in oil), refills, and possibly order some queso but she never showed up. We finally had to ask a different waitress about our chips, salsa, and refills. The food 1/5: If I could do 0 stars I would for this. First time eating out in 3 weeks and I really wanted some Chicken Flautas. So I ordered those and had high hopes. Then our chips and salsa came out. The chips were stale, soggy, and cooked in old oil (you can taste and smell it when it’s old). So this made me worry my flautas would taste similarly. When they arrived, not only did they taste like that old oil, they were completely over fried, oily, and dry with ZERO flavor. I could only taste the oil. My beans were dry. The rice was dry and old tasting. The best thing I ate was the avocado and sour cream. Everyone else at the table wasn’t too impressed with their food but it was edible. Cleanliness: 3/5: Not bad but the tables were sticky and gross when we got there. My menu had left over dried up food on it. Overall the food and service made me had to rate this a 1 tonight. Please do better. We may try y’all again but this hurt your reputation in our eyes and could be hard to recover from. We have a lot of other Mexican food places around that we can go instead of here. Old review- This place is awesome for Mexican food. Super friendly staff, cold beer, and really tasty salsa and chips. Their tall beer arrives in a chilled metal mug which helps keep you beer cold. The chips are thicker than most tortilla chips so it dips really well. And the salsa is chunky but not too chunky. I ordered the chipotle chicken. It was delicious. Fresh avocado, some jalapeños, cheese, a hefty sized chicken breast, and covered with cheese with rice and beans on the side. The chipotle seasoning and sauce was delicious. I wish it were more spicy but I added some extra jalapeños which helped me with that spice craving. The taco salad was good too. The taco was more like a puffy taco which was pretty cool. Fresh ingredients and a nice gob of cool sour cream. I recommend this place to get your Mexican food craving satisfied.

From our appetizers to all of our four entrées, everything was so delicious. We even tried their mango margarita and it was very well made. The only thing to complain about is the AC could’ve worked a little better. But this would definitely be a place I go back to

Went got dinner and was missing the tortillas and got chips and sauce there.And never got my salsa very disappointing.I took almost thirty minutes just to get urconic cosada plate to go.And it was not busy.

Great Taco spot! The service is swift and personal. Minimalist gothic style with nice bar. If you want some good Tacos, I recommend!

Food was great , flavorful and good portion size - family friendly environment and plenty of space . The lemon lime margarita special was 10/10 - bartender /server guy was super helpful with recommendations and he also made a good drink - we will be coming back

OMG y'all ROCK!!!! Walked to your restaurant after visiting the #silobration at Magnolia... fast service, super tasty food. Tasty in fact, Hubby orders a few to- go's. We opted to sit outdoors and that was comfy cozy.

Kristian is the absolute best bartender I've had the pleasure to meet and see in yrs. He makes some of the most amazing "knock you socks" drinks I've ever had in my life!! Wow!!! Tonight he had me a Caramel Apple Cocktail". Wow....Best damn drink freaking ever!!! Amazing...OMG!!! Come meet and see him for yourself. You won't regret it!!

First of all the lady at the cash register was rude and we had to tell her 3 x’s what we wanted! My 2 kids chicken tacos were suppose to have corn tortillas and it had flour! The corn was not as good as usual and it was too expensive for 2 kids tacos, 2 small 1/2 size corn and 2 drinks! It was 30 dollars!!! Are you freaking kidding me! Won’t be back!

30 dollars for 4 tacos that when I get home tacos looked like straight dog food I was very disappointed in this because me and my fiancé thought they would be good considering how expensive and packed they are but I wasn’t able to even feed my child last night because everything I order for her looked like dog food. SMH they need to lower prices on this place or at least give better food service! I would have rather eaten Taco Bell if I would’ve known.

Torchys Tacos did not disappoint!! I tasted the Brushfire and the Tipsy chicken tacos. Both were packed with flavor and a kickstart heat. It was so delicious. I topped them off with two sauces which included the Diablo and the Bacon Bourbon marmalade. The bacon marmalade had me shaking my head because I wanted to lick the cup. Overall, the experience was very relaxed and I definitely enjoyed the meal. I will most certainly return to eat some Damn Good tacos as their sign proudly displays.

Went here because we were told they sold macarons, but they dont, they sell macaroons. Anyway, we got some delicious sweets from the bakery and a turkey, bacon, ranch sandwich. That sandwich was amazing. The bread was soft and the ingredients were fresh. Would definitely recommend that sandwich. Service was mid at best, that's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

Stopped for a Tesla charge, but given much more !!! We stopped to eat at this quaint cafe right next to chargers !!! Prices were great for what they offered , and tasted amazing ! The sweet lady at the counter was so kind to us ! Will def stop by again if we find ourselves in this area again !!!

Had the yummiest cookies from here. Just did a quick trip detour for these and they were phenomenal. They were some of the kindest people I’ve encountered! Customer service is top notch.

Ash helped us and made the whole shopping experience worth it. I’d literally buy anything she’s selling. The baked goods were incredible, and they gave us free samples. Take a day off from your meal plan and have Ash put some chocolate balls in your mouth, you won’t regret it!

Great stop! Nice bathrooms, plenty of seating, and lots of fun treats! I've always liked their fruit cake, but tried the chicken salad sandwich today and was not disappointed. Baked goods are also delicious!

Really good sweets! And lunch items were good too. Nice stop... And Tesla chargers in parking lot! Great pit stop

I don’t leave reviews but this is more directed towards management. Patricia took my order with a super snappy attitude (I got two pastry’s from the display case and ordered a sandwich to sit down) when she rang me up she threw the receipt and walked away? Other people had numbers to put on their table to show they were waiting on food and I didn’t get one. She also went back to what she was doing and didn’t give me my pastries. I was confused and went to get my drink. About 10 minutes later of waiting I went back to the register and was helped by Janet (who was wonderful) and she told me I was SUPPOSED to get my pasties when I placed my order as well as a number for my food. She gave me an extra macaroon for the inconvenience and had to take my ticket directly to the kitchen to have my food made. Really disappointed that my first time here I was immediately dismissed at the register, had Janet not been kind enough to help me, I’d still be waiting. I was told Patricia was one of the managers at the location? I don’t understand how someone with that bad of an attitude is up front helping customers. DONT work in customer service if you DONT like your job!

Cute little coffee shop. Lots of quiet places to work or do school. Outdoor area is cool with lots of seating also. I got an iced latte "caramel coffee crunch" with oat milk and it was good. Their signature sauce flavor is nice and not too sweet! Next time I'll take my purse with me to get my order so I can grab a bottle for $10.

This coffee shop is a gem! The coffee is excellent, with a rich selection of brews and blends. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, combining vintage charm with modern style. The large outdoor patio is a standout—perfect for enjoying your drink in a relaxed, open-air setting. A great spot to unwind or get some work done!

This place is a great little college coffee shop. It was recommended to me by a Baylor alum and it lived up to the hype. Great coffee, immaculate atmosphere, and decent little breakfast sandwiches. Highly recommend!

The interior is super elegant and cute, it’s a blessing to just sit in any of the sitting area inside/outside. Their amazing seasonal drink (Gold rush) is very rich-tasting and has a nice savory flavor! Will definitely visit back again!

Was recommended Common Grounds for a good place to get coffee and to get some work done and it was perfect. Loved the chill atmosphere. Everyone knew everyone. I comfortably hung out for several hours!

Such a cute place with FANTASTIC coffee and the literal BEST coffee shop breakfast burrito I've ever had. Couches, big windows, live music venue, so vibey! Only thing is there is NO parking😭 I'm not sure how customers are expected to park their cars :/

Great place to enjoy a cappuccino. Love the outdoor area. Blueberry cinnamon muffin is delicious

We went for the first time on Mother's Day. Plenty of parking, and it looked great. Lots of seating as you wait for your table. We were told 45 minutes for the wait, which was fine for that day. We were seated within 30 minutes. I will say they have a poor choice in chairs, very uncomfortable. Our waiter did a poor job, we were pretty sure he was new, so we weren't too upset. The food, however, was delicious. My husband had the brisket bowl (I can't remember the name) and I had the shrimp and grits. I was getting lots of gumbo vibes from the grits but the sausage was sweeter than I was expecting. We definitely plan on coming back!

friendly service and delicious food today! i had the brisket skillet (pictured) and my husband had the shrimp and grits which he really enjoyed. wait time can tend to be longish but so worth it - it’s likely because people know this is one of the best places in waco to eat! we will be back again!

Customer service was great but the food was just okay. We really enjoyed the biscuits and variety of fruit spreads they provided, however the main dishes that we chose were not impressive.

Let me just start by saying this—if The Olive Branch gets five stars from me today, it’s not because they dazzled me with their cinnamon sugar wizardry or blew my mind with an avant-garde avocado toast arrangement. No. This five-star rating rides on the back of one person: Tatiana. More on her in a second. Let’s rewind. I walked in thinking I might go full throttle—house-smoked brisket burrito, big breakfast energy, maybe even add some sweet on the side. But something told me to keep it lighter. And I’m glad I did. Because while the menu leans Texas-sized, my stomach was whispering minimalist gospel this morning. The Order: • Avocado Toast – Smashed avocado layered on wheat toast, topped with sunny-side up eggs, marinated tomatoes, microgreens, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. • Cinnamon Biscuit Bites – Fried biscuit chunks, cinnamon sugar, vanilla glaze. • Coffee – Straightforward, dark, and hot. • Orange Juice – A full glass, and then some. Let’s talk flavor. The avocado toast was clean, thoughtful, and well-balanced. The eggs were cooked just right, the yolks warm and golden. The tomatoes popped with acidity. The glaze added that sweet-tangy lift, and the microgreens? That’s where the dish showed some class. Nothing overcomplicated, just intentional. The kind of plate that lets your senses stretch slowly into the day. Now, the cinnamon biscuit bites? Beautiful to look at. Honestly, they should hang this skillet on the wall as art. But one bite in, and I knew I was in trouble. It was like being hugged by a sugar-coated sumo wrestler. Way too much. Way too sweet. I expected a nibble situation—something like four to six bites. Instead, they brought out a cast iron cauldron of dessert. I ordered it, so that’s on me. But no human should face that much glaze without a support group. The coffee hit the mark. Nothing fancy, no third-wave pretension—just a solid cup of comfort. I needed that balance after fighting the sugar avalanche. As for the juice—let’s just say I ordered a drink and got a whole orchard. Fresh, cold, good… and way more than I wanted. Waco does not play about portions. Atmosphere? Rustic-meets-industrial. Spacious. Clean lines. Brick and wood. Soft lighting. TVs in the back if you need some casual noise. Plenty of elbow room, which is rare and welcome. But none of that—none of it—would have stuck in my memory without Tatiana. She didn’t just show up with a smile. She arrived. Introduced herself. Warm, polite, completely unforced. The kind of presence that makes you feel human again in a world full of transactional interactions. I’ve had $200 meals in big cities that didn’t come with service that kind. She didn’t hover, didn’t rush, just existed in that perfect sweet spot of attentiveness and space. That’s why I’m giving five stars. If Tatiana hadn’t been there? Four. Easy. The cinnamon bites alone would’ve knocked a star off. That’s not a breakfast item—that’s a wedding cake’s evil cousin. But Tatiana raised the curve. She was the curve. So here it is: The Olive Branch isn’t perfect. The portions are big enough to scare a lumberjack. The sweet options could use a tone-down. And Waco, as a whole, seems to believe every breakfast should feed a family of four. But if you’re lucky enough to get Tatiana as your server, that meal’s going to hit different. It’s going to feel like it matters. And that’s worth five stars.

We first met The Olive Branch at an on-campus event, and the food was so good we just had to track it down. Our second date, however, was a bit of a marathon. Our weekend lunch party of three was seated right away, which was a great start! But then, we played the waiting game. It took 15 minutes to get menus, and then almost 50 more for our plates to finally make an appearance. Thankfully, the sandwiches and fries were hot and delicious. The salad, on the other hand, was an unremarkable third wheel.

Leah and her team at Olive Branch are AAMAZING! We used them to cater my daughter's wedding this past weekend and I could not have asked for better service and food! And the food.... oh my, SO GOOD! Everyone loved it and we're just so pleased! Leah is the BEST, from first correspondence email to the thank you the day after - always responsive and so accommodating with everything we needed.

Stopped in for brunch and it was fantastic. I had the Farmers Hash and it hit the spot. I noticed so many other dishes being served around me that I would love to come back and try, too. Service was great and coffee was excellent! There’s a reason there was a short wait for a table! Highly recommend.

I had a call in order. And I knew to prior call in/ take outs that had an option of sides. I was never giving the opportunity to select my sides. I am allergic to sweet potatoes which came with my meal, because I was never giving a choice. I love Cracker Barrel, but I will not be ordering anymore. I paid for my meal but never ate a bite , because it came with sweet potatoes . Please reimburse me. Im extremely disappointed

This was a very nice location to have lunch while we were traveling. The food was delicious and the service was great! Thank y'all!!!

We love Cracker Barrel, but this was a bad experience. We went for dinner about 5:00 p.m. and our food looked and tasted like it was old reheated food. The Hasbrown Casserole was rubbery and burnt and the Chicken Fried Chicken was the same. The chicken was so tough and rubbery, it couldn't be cut with a knife. We honestly love Cracker Barrel, but this one was a FAIL.

My family and I come here often, as it is a favorite of my son. We came tonight around 6:45, and after a few not so great visits over the last few months, we decided we will not be returning. Our waitress, I wish I had caught her name, was awful. My husband & son ordered traditional pancake meals, & I ordered chicken & dumplings, after waiting for 15 minutes, she told us that she checked on our food, & it’s almost done. We waited another 15 minutes, couldn’t find her anywhere, & then finally she brought out our food. At this time, we were literally her only table, & she had spent the first half of our visit, sweeping up her section all around us. When we got the food, my husband’s bacon was practically raw. I mean, my jaw dropped at the fact that not only did a cook think it was acceptable to serve that, but that a waitress would also think it was acceptable to bring it out! I told my husband to send it back, but he didn’t want to prolong the evening. When she brought our food, she finally asked us if we wanted any biscuits or cornbread to which I replied, both. Mind you, she let us sit there for 30 minutes without offering it to us while we were waiting on food. Then she comes back & says that they’re out of cornbread. I let my husband & son finish their meals quickly & I took mine to go, because I had to get out of there. When we were leaving, we saw her outside chit chatting up against the dumpsters with 3 male coworkers, & at this point, she had other tables in her section. Not sure why a waitress would ever need to be out at the dumpsters when she has customers. Like I said, I really wish I would’ve gotten her name, or had seen a manager on our way out, because she needs to be held accountable!

4 of us. Waitress was pleasant. The food was mostly good. The server had to heat up our soup because the kitchen messed up. We waited about 8 minutes for everyone to get their food after members our party had already been given their food. Since we're a group of people that doesn't eat until everyone has their order this caused all of our orders to be less than hot. Would we be back? Probably Will we consider going elsewhere because of coldish food? Yes

Food at The Cracker Barrel used to be really good. It seams that they have made several food prep changes for the worse. What used to be a weekly visit for us, may get one more visit before we scratch it completely. The green beans had no taste at all. I have heard that they are now microwaving them after 4pm. The baby carrots had very little taste. They used to be my favorite. The lemon pepper trout was about 1/8 inch thick and super flat. I'm glad our location hasn't changed the atmosphere. When that happens, it will for certain be scratched.

We initially arrived at 10:30, were advised lunch would start at 11:00, so we left and came back. We were sat immediately, but waited at least 15 minutes to be greeted by a server that was not assigned to our area because our server “was in the back doing something “. We ordered drinks and an appetizer. Quite some time later, we received our starter but couldn’t finish it because we ran out of tea. After our food arrived, we were disappointed in the quality. We are so accustomed to Cracker Barrel being top notch; may not go back to that location.

Harvest on 25th is a very nice brunch place in Waco! The food was really good and we loved their sweet/savory options. The service was really nice but it does take a bit for the food to come to our table (it was really busy so it makes sense). The atmosphere was also very nice and pleasant. Overall, I’d definitely recommend coming here when in Waco!

This was my first time trying this restaurant. I ordered the margherita pizza which was pretty flavorful but a little lacking and I also got the Pesto chicken Sammie sandwich with sweet potato fries. This sandwich was very disappointing to say the least. Good idea but poorly executed I would say. The chicken was super dry and the sandwich overall was very dry, could have used more of some sauce that added moisture. Did not finish sandwich and for $16 I would have expected more flavor. The sweet potato fries were super charred and was a bit too charred for me, even though I do like certain foods cooked this way. Not sure I would return to try again. Very disappointing for my first visit. UPDATE: Really appreciate Harvest responding so quickly and refunding the cost of my sandwich. Might give them a second chance to stop by just for the prompt follow up.

Truly a wonderful dining experience. Whether you live in or are just passing through Waco make a plan to eat here. From the scones to the migas to the coffee, everything was delicious. We will definitely stop in again when traveling to The Big D.

Tried this place while driving through town and it was good for the most part. I had the Mushroom and Zucchini omelette which surprisingly was delicious. The sauce they used was different and elevated the taste of the omelette. I also had the pancakes which I felt were pretty basic and a bit dry. Overall experience was good.

Stopped by for lunch and ordered the falafel salad (vegan). Good meal. The ordering process was simple: place your order, receive a ticket, find your table, and set the ticket down kinda of smooth and straightforward Parking can be a bit tricky, especially during peak hours or if 25th Street is busy. I asked if it was okay to park next door and they kindly approved it The customer service was wonderful, friendly and helpful throughout

Nice little place to stop for a bite to eat. The workers were really nice and friendly. Food was fresh and service was quick (even at lunch)

Grateful for a menu in Waco with multiple vegan / dairy free options! We sat by the window and enjoyed some coffee and breakfast.

Restraint Be Damned — That Chocolate Cake Changed Everything. Brazos Bar & Bistro | Review I walked in expecting elegance—expecting restraint. I imagined small plates, refined flavors, and a slow dance of taste that knew exactly when to whisper and when to roar. For a moment, I thought I was right. The space? Slick. Airy. Like it knew what it was doing. Then came the avalanche. Let me take you through it. ⸻ Cocktail – Cowboy Manhattan A measured pour served in a chilled martini glass, punctuated by a mysterious black cherry (or was it an olive?). Not bad, but not memorable. The drink didn’t carry the weight of its name—it leaned more polite than rugged. But it got the job done. 3/5 ⸻ Starter – Stuffed Avocado This was the sleeper hit. Creamy Hass avocado, warm adobo chicken, cool pico, queso fresco—it was balanced. Flavorful. A textural masterpiece. The only mistake? It was built like an entrée. If I’d finished it, I wouldn’t have had room for the rest. As an appetizer, it was too much of a good thing. But still, 4.5/5 for flavor and surprise alone. ⸻ Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts Overcooked, oversauced, overwhelmed. It looked like the sprouts had been roasted, forgotten, then hastily rescued with a bath of sticky, cloying sauce. It didn’t cling—it drowned. There was no charred snap, no fresh nuttiness from the peanuts. Just heat and heaviness. 1.5/5 ⸻ Entrée – Bourbon Peach Chops Two giant pork chops—two—slathered with a handful of peach slices. Not sauce. Peaches. It looked more like Sunday supper for a group of six than a thoughtful plated dish. The garlic parmesan potatoes were a mystery lump in the middle, mistaken at first glance for a third chop. Over-portioned to the point of parody. Zero elegance. 2/5 ⸻ Redemption – The Chocolate Cake And just when I was ready to walk out with a clean-cut 3-star, in came the miracle. This cake didn’t ask for forgiveness. It demanded silence. A thick, moist brick of deep, dark chocolate, draped in glossy ganache, and topped with delicate shards—almost like cocoa glass. Every bite was rich but not cloying, bold but balanced. It didn’t just redeem the meal—it transcended it. This cake didn’t save the day—it became the day. 5/5. Easily. ⸻ Final Verdict: 4 Stars (Raised by Chocolate Grace) This place fumbled the promise of fine dining with oversized portions and careless presentation—but damn if that chocolate cake didn’t pull it from the fire. That and the avocado made the experience worth it—even if I had to dig through a mess to find the gold. Come for the cake. Stay for the avocado. Bring a friend to split everything else. Bon Appétit.

Located inside the hotel, it’s not a standalone restaurant. Service was great, seating was comfortable and he explained things on the menu we didn’t understand as a first time guest. The pork chops are AMAZING! They deserve five stars on their own. We went around 4pm and there was no big crowd which we preferred.

Pizza. Wings. Beer. And salads lol local craft beer as well as regional and your typical domestics. Slices of pizza are pretty large, a whole pizza comes in 2 sizes and can feed 3 adults (14")or 5 adults (20"). Location is incredible. On the ride, a deck that overhangs the river....absolutely fabulous location 🔥 you're almost a fool to NOT come here!

Food delicious. Exceptional customer service. Atmosphere very relaxing and friendly employees. Will recommend to anyone visiting Waco TX

I wanted to go and have a nice steak and a great time. For starters, it was a nice bar and restaurant, I did my research and it was listed as a top ten places to eat in Waco. I would have to disagree. If you want to go and have a nice drink for a high price, this would be right up your alley. The drinks were good, don’t get me wrong, but that would be the only good thing about this place. We ordered the humus as a starter and it was pretty good. Their drink menu was pretty good, i will say that their blueberry mojito, strawberry summer and their margarita was top notch. We then ordered the potato gnocchi and I was in the mood for a steak, DO NOT go for their steak, you will be disappointed. The staff was friendly but when you ask for a steak medium well and extra seasoning and it comes out looking like they heated it up in the microwave and forgot to season it, well you’re getting a horrible steak, not even worthy of being called a steak. No lie, take a look for yourself…

We enjoyed avacado toast and Texas breakfast plate. Our plates were clean. It was busy, but the service was excellent. The night before, we also had a great experience at the bar. We will be back.

My family checked out Brazos Bar & Bistro for my Birthday. The ambiance was nice. Staff was attentive and food came out in a timely manner. For our starters we went with Green Chile Queso and Shishito Peppers. Both are great. My Barren of Mules was enjoyable and refreshing. My husband when with a stout from Barrow Brewing Co. As for our food both the Thunderbird sandwich and the J.R Ewing Burger tasted average. My husband was not asked how he would like his beef patty cooked so it was well-done. The flatbread was okay, nothing special about it. My Chicken Montelongo was very good. I would recommend it. And the Pork Belly Tacos was not appetizing at all. Everyone that tried it could not eat it. Thank goodness it came with a good amount of sides. Overall the ambiance itself is nice, staff is professional, and drinks are good. As for the food it is quite expensive with flavor comparative to any cheep of fast food restaurant. If you are staying at the hotel it may be a good option. But we will not be going out of our way to visit any time soon.

Tonight was our first time here and this place is a gold mine. From the initial chips and salsa to the service (our server was Ciera and she took such good care of us), to the special of the day (we both had the chicken enchiladas) everything was so good. Food was hot and fresh and delicious. The beans were so good and the flour tortillas were 🤌. We will 100% absolutely be back.

We enjoy the chicken fajita enchiladas so much. And the birria tacos stay moist and juicy if you don't eat them the day you order them. The salsa is always a little disappointing surprisingly. It always tastes a little rancid somehow. Not my favorite. Everything else is always on point though, and I don't think they've ever messed up my delivery order. Thanks for being on DoorDash! What a God send!

I did not like this restaurant. The tortilla soup was served luke warm and was mostly onion. I was also not a fan of the chips or my margarita. I ordered the skinny and it had a 'fake' flavor. The vibe was like the old Isle of Capri casino meets country.

I had a great experience here. Service was timely, the food tasted superb. Drew was my server and he knocked it out of the park! I will definitely be visiting again. Kudos to the kitchen as well, the chicken spinach mushroom enchilada did not disappoint.

Erica was an amazing waitress and made us feel right at home. The food was delish. Highly recommend the white queso & purple margaritas! We will definitely visit again!

Grew up in Texas. I've been to a million Mexican restaurants. This was the best Mexican food I've ever had. My family agreed. You know the flavorless refried beans that usually come as a side? We were fighting over my son's until he finally tasted it and told us he was going to eat it. That's never happened before. I thought the chili relleno was kind of weird. There was almost a roll around the outside. Way too much bread, like a loaf of bread, bread. I just didn't eat all the bread. Anyway 10 stars out of five! Don't miss this place!

The food was good and the flavor was plentiful. Service was ok. Forgot the queso then brought yellow instead of white. The street taco, beans and rice were very flavorful. The quesidilla Birria was full of meat but I thought light on cheese. The sour cream, pico and quac were great flavor additions. Overall it was a good tex Mex meal and we both left full.

I’ve visited here a few times over the past several years. It’s a fairly nice experience, it’s a unique place and not a franchise which is the very reason for me to visit. As I drove up the dark street I thought maybe the place had gone out of business. The vintage ice cream truck parked on the street sat like an abandoned ship in dry-dock, with all manner of dirt, leaves and debris piled around. It seems the street-sweepers simply drive around the edges of this eyesore. All-the-while shoving more crap under around the resting hulk. It is, apparently, a vehicle parked on a public street with an expired, 2012 registration sticker. Waco is a wonderfully forgiving town. The ice cream is good, but 4 flavors were “out”. This was surprising since it was a Thursday evening and Baylor University is on Christmas break. No students around to scarf up all the goodies. As I sat leisurely enjoying two scoops in a freshly-made and quite delicious waffle cone, I noticed the dilapidated look about the place. Several large water stains on the ceiling, many burned out light bulbs,etc. The most remarkable feature was the astonishing collection of cobwebs about the place. I think that the last time a dust-broom has been here was opening day in March 2016. I WAS taken by the length-of-service of the light bulbs above the service bar. They burn nicely and CLEARLY haven’t been touched in an impressively long time. Must be LEDs. Smart choice.

Absolutely loved this ice cream shop! The vintage interior gives it such a unique and charming vibe—like stepping back in time. The ice cream flavors are creative and delicious, and the freshly prepared waffle cones take everything to the next level. A must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Sourced from milk-king dairy in McGregor, this independent creamery is true to using local ingredients… and the taste shows. They offer pint size tubs of various flavors for $9. While their ice cream is more expensive, it is worth a try. We enjoyed their butter pecan and their coffee flavor is a good pick too.

We travel from Dallas Tx to try this ice cream! And they didn't disappoint us, very tasty and with seasonal fruit! We tried the cookie with ice cream , and ice cream in fresh waffle ! A very nice detail with us :: 😍😍they gave us permission for our dog to come in because it was very hot and they gave him ice cream to try too,thank you ! ♥️ I highly recommend it and I'm sure we'll be back soon!

Nice little shop, unique ice cream flavors. I had a scoop of brown butter Texas pecan in a cone. Delicious! I would recommend asking for a bowl as the cone is very thin and breaks easily.

The ice cream was phenomenal!!!! Their waffle cone are so good and completely unique! The staff was amazing and even gave my Chihuahua a pup cup of ice cream that she went nuts for one it had warmed up just a little! I will definitely find time to stop by again!

Delicious flavors, fun decor and awesome setting. Get your fix for Waco TX vibes by having this ice cream and walking the nearby collage area, with wind blowing in your face…

We found this place on google looking for a good burger in Waco and man we sure found it. They welcomed us in and made us feel like home. We had a stroller with us in this very small restaurant which is really not stroller accessible and they took time to make room for us to be seated comfortably. They Checked on us frequently and the food came out fast. Everything we had was delicious hot and fresh. The staff worked as a team to make sure everyone’s experience was enjoyable. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a small old school burger joint!

This is by far one of the best restaurants in the area. I have recently located to the area, and found this place. This is one of my hideaway places to go when I need a break. The staff is super friendly all the time and know you by name, food is absolutely the best made to order when you order it. NOTHING is pre made!! This place is always filled with friendly hungry people, who are the regulars.

If you know me, im all about the cheeseburgers. If youre lucky enough to be traveling through Waco it's a must stop! Love the vintage, yester-year vibe and yeah they make a great cheeseburger. They also serve breakfast ill have try next time.

Cups Drive Inn has made a lot of Waco history since 1929. This legendary diner is a Clean Plate Award recipient from KWTX-TV, the CBS television network affiliate for the Waco area. Many changes over the years have taken place, but still the owner and staff are committed to a truly great experience for customers. I like their hamburgers because the bun is toasted well, and the burger patty is seasoned and grilled until it is medium well to well done, but still is juicy and not dry. The quality of toppings like pickles and lettuce is also great. All food is made fresh and on an as ordered basis. Their French fries are made from fresh potatoes cut right in the restaurant, that are rinsed in water to wash them and remove starch. Then they are deep fried and prepared like Boardwalk style fries, which are not crispy fries, but have a fairly firm outer shell, and have a soft mashed potato like inside. They are then seasoned with their special French fry seasoning. This style of fries is my favorite. The portion of fries is a reasonable size as well, served in a paper lined basket. Sorry that I have no pictures of my order. I did include, as of this posting, the most recent menu for you to see ahead of time. Definately will be glad to return to Cups when I go to Waco again. You can get a burger and fries at a similar price to a Wendy's burger and fries, but get a better value at Cups Drive inn.

My husband and I stopped by and decided to get burgers and fries, and I couldn’t resist getting cheese fries too. The food was absolutely amazing, and it’s no surprise the place was packed when we got there and still buzzing when we left. My burger was so juicy and flavorful, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only thing I’d say is the space felt a little tight with so many people inside, but that’s just a sign of how popular it is. We really enjoyed our meal, and if we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely be back!

The folks working there were friendly, helpful, and just plain nice people. Unfortunately, this did not compensate for the food or environment. There is a fine line between vintage and old, and cupps is in desperate need of an update inside (or at least a good scrub down). The patties are bought premade, and no seasoning is added. Cupp's, whizzbangs, and dubl-r are all very similar, and I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. Try Tom's Burgers, Burgertology, or even Health Camp.

Its a hole in the wall burger joint and it is perfect! Great food, delicious bacon cheeseburgers, friendly service, mom and pop type of atmosphere. Everything is made fresh and I will definitely be back!

The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but surprisingly nice inside and has a welcoming atmosphere. I love the outdoor seating option and the food looks great. My only complaint would be the pricing, but then, who knows what it's costing them to operate in today's market. I ordered the seafood platter fish shrimp & oysters( I requested to substitute the oysters, so the doubled the shrimp) with 2 sides of red beans and rice. I almost left without looking, I'm glad I didn't. I had to order an extra piece of fish ($5) and cocktail/tarter sauce.(,50¢ each) I came in with 40.00 and I'm leaving with $2.85. this seems a bit high for the portions given. Aside from this , I think it's a great place.

This was some of the best chicken I have ever had. Out of the four states I’ve lived in the 10 I have visited, this was the most tender and juiciest ever! The red beans and rice was so delicious and the shrimp po boy was delicious! I plan to bring my family next time they visit us!

What A Place! We had the crawfish etouffe, red beans and rice, chicken, sausage and shrimp gumbo, and it was amazing! We finished everything off with traditional bread pudding, my daughter's first time trying it, and it too was spectacular!

Red beans and rice was excellent with okra just right to season. Catfish was fresh and beautiful golden crust. Some of the best coleslaw I have had in a long time, glad I added it for $1. Great food and nice vibe. Attentive service from staff and we even got to ask the cook about the dishes. If in Waco you need to stop. Weekly specials as well just in case that's a plus for you.

It started out not so hot but got 5star better. The view from the street is not impressive. Parking is kinda miss configured as is the dining area, but I did give it 5 stars. Why? The people are nice, and the food was surprisingly good. So good and made with such care they get 5 satrs and I will be back.

food was absolutely incredible!! the perfect way to end our anniversary trip. i am not a fan of mayo at all but the crawfish poutine was absolutely to die for. every bite was packed with flavor and you could feel the passion coming from each dish. the trio was a fantastic sampler of their gumbo, etouffe, and red beans and rice. the nutella bread pudding was the perfect ending to the meal, and a wonderful treat. not to mention, the staff were wonderfully kind and the owner checked up on us multiple times to make sure we were enjoying everything. considering planning another trip to waco just to get another bite!

It was average ordered a good amount of items okra was cold and not seasoned red beans and rice tasted like the can with the juices boudin was not good at all fried fish was good the wings were okay wouldn't go back

We came here for breakfast and it’s been a while since I’ve had Fuego. I forgot how large the tacos are! Do not underestimate these. Yes some of them are six dollars but with that being said, you truly only need one and two if you are starving. Tacos are very unique. I would definitely recommend the Dr Pepper cowboy.

I've been coming here for years. This one and the one in San Marcos. I know the one here in Waco has gone through some changes over the years. I always get the same thing when I come here so the major changes I've seen were the juices they offer and the salsa. The salsa here used to be amazing now it seems they've downgraded to something cheaper. Also, there used to be... like adult-sized juices sold here. Apple, orange etc in bottles that were like 16 ounces. This time when I came, the lady handed me these little 10 ounce kid-sized drinks and I was really disappointed. Who ever managing this should be ashamed. You had a good product, stop downgrading.

Food was great. Highlight of the experience. The Fuego steak taco was super delicious and probably one of the best tacos I've ever had. The issue is that it took almost an hour to get our food. It may have been an off day, or it was crowded, but on a Friday night in a college town, it seemed understaffed. The service was less than ideal. Staff is friendly and welcoming. But they fail to see small details. Both soda machines did not have any ice, some of the sodas did not dispense and were out, and some tables were not cleaned. And they delieved the wrong food or were unfamiliar with the menu item being delivered. Atmosphere was fine. It's like a Chipotle, or any other counter service restaurant.

Food tasted so good!! A bit expensive, but what tacos aren’t? Lol Definitely would recommend!! Inside wasn’t super clean but not terrible either.

I am not one to leave reviews for fast food or ever really complain about fast food service BUT…. Potato, egg, and cheese taco….. I came back because they forgot to add cheese and THIS is what they handed me in my bag. When I pulled back around for the THIRD time, I asked to speak to a manager because…??? Are you serious??? Like does my worst enemy work here?? Turns out - it was the MANAGER who told the girl to hand that back to me. This type of carelessness is just unacceptable and could potentially end up sending a customer to the hospital. I was literally in disbelief. Also no one ever goes to fuego and gets their order 100% correct. Most of the time when I ask for EASY EGG, I get a taco full of egg. It’s fast food - not rocket science 😭 Yall need to vet & train your staff way better.

Every time we order from here, there's at least 1 item missing. EVERY TIME! The food was fantastic but since y'all can't properly prepare an order I am over y'all

I waited over 20 minutes in line with only 3 cars ahead of me... Just to get to the window for them to tell me they didn't have what I ordered. I ordered 2 potato and egg tacos, which they said they had when I placed the order. The lady at the window didn't seem like she knew anything. And maybe it was her 1st day. This was 11 PM on Sunday night. This was an absolutely horrible experience. The lady kept shrugging her shoulders like she didn't know or didn't care at the window when I asked what the reason for all the problems were. Their night crew never seems to know what's going on.

Amazing baked goods rain or shine!! Their Seasonal Blueberry cinnamon rolls are my fav. But none is sweeter than the owner, Kim. She was one of the first to welcome us to Waco and always checks on us when we come to visit. Thank you, Kim, for the towel and umbrella during yesterday's storm! You really made our day. Thank you for the cinnamon rolls as always!

Whenever we visit Waco, we make time to visit this little gem of a bakery! Lovely and welcoming porch, and "the best cinnamon rolls in the world" (according to my husband and son). As someone who does not personally eat sweet things, I adore the quiche 😋 and the scones are amazing too; just the right amount of dryness, and so flavorful! Order ahead if you are in a hurry, because everything is prepared with care and love. Better yet, sit a spell and enjoy a coffee and conversation.

My husband and I stopped here as it has gluten-free options. I got the scone combo box, which included a large scone, baby scone, and I added a kolache for extra charge. All of which was gluten-free. So I was super excited about that as I'm NCGS. The mini scone, which I got orange cranberry, was amazing. The large scone was bacon cheddar. That one, I didn't care for too much as it was too thick for my liking. The kolache was small but very tasty. My husband got 2 regular kolaches(not gluten-free) he really liked their flavor, but they were small. It's a mom and pop kind of shop so that was cool. Wouldn't mind if I was back in the area going and trying their gluten free cupcakes or cookies.

Surprise find on a Saturday! Mini cinnamon rolls, mini ham kolaches were our picks. Then we took home scones, chocolate chip cookies and a blueberry muffin! Love it! In a unique location with patio seating. That serve lunch too so I will be back for that next!

The service was very personable. I enjoyed our visit as I learned about the uniqueness of how the cinnamon rolls were made with special ingredients. I absolutely recommend the amazing cinnamon rolls! They are a little pricey but worth every penny. Each roll is huge and should be shared by two or perhaps three people.. These rolls are even better when heated. I was given a small sample as I waited for my order to be boxed up. I could taste the butter, vanilla, special ingredient cinnamon and a hint of cream cheese. Mouthwatering delicious!! I plan to return to Baked Bliss to sit on the open air deck as I sip coffee and enjoy a different tasty treat. You should stop by, meet the friendly staff and treat yourself to deliciousness!

Kim was so sweet to me and my friend on our first visit here this morning - very personable and chatted with us displaying perfect customer service! She was so willing to explain how the gluten free goodies were made to make sure I felt comfortable before purchasing them as I have multiple food allergies. The gluten free cinnies were amazing and so flavorful - I will definitely be making this a regular spot!

Cinnamon Rolls 💣 Kolaches 🔥 Coffee ☕️ is not too bad. Great visit to this hidden gem for a morning sweet tooth. Great experience and wonderful staff and owners. Hands down the best grandma recipe cinnamon roll we ever had. The kolache was surprisingly large, and the breading was on point. A must stop next time we are in town.

Lolita’s is a nice quiet place you walk in make your order at the counter and have a seat the Elephante Burrito I got was delicious but the tortillas were from a package which I didn’t like I like restaurants with homemade fresh tortillas and the salsa tasted like salsa you put on a Huevo rancheros some people liked it but I have had better

Beef fajita, beans, potatoes, onions and cheese. 2 large burritos for $19.49. Called my order in and waited in drive thru for 20+ minutes. There was only 3 cars in front of me when I arrived. I used to come here regularly but it's been awhile. Inflation is a B. This'll be the last visit for me. Just too small to justify the price hike.

Lolita’s Restaurante – Where the Migas Redeem the Mood You walk into Lolita’s and it’s like stepping into an old movie set where everyone already knows their lines—except you. The tables are open, the room’s got that lived-in charm—roosters on the wall, neon reflections in the window, a traffic light glowing for no reason but nostalgia—and yet, there’s no clear script for what you’re supposed to do. No “please seat yourself,” no greeter, no welcome. Just a quiet crowd hovering near the counter, like regulars at a bingo hall who already know the system. Eventually, by deduction and survival instinct, you figure it out: place your order at the counter. The guy back there has the look of someone who’s been making breakfast since the Reagan administration. No smile, no “What can I get you this morning?” Just… wait your turn, state your order, and hope for the best. I ordered the Migas plate and a Barbacoa taco. Coffee, too—eventually. There’s no mention of it being self-serve, but if you look around long enough and spot the carafe and the styrofoam cups, you’ll figure it out. It’s there in the corner with powdered creamer and a few weary stir sticks. The coffee? It gets the job done, but it’s not trying to win any awards. Think gas station energy without the nostalgia. Then comes the wait. You’re given a number, but there’s nowhere to put it—no table stand, no instructions. Just a small piece of paper you sort of toss next to the napkin holder and hope it makes sense to someone. Eventually a woman walks out from the back, calls out “Migas,” drops the plate on the table, and disappears like a ninja. No “How’s everything looking?” No “Can I get you anything else?” Just… Migas. Boom. Gone. But here’s the twist. The Migas were excellent. Eggs fluffy, tortilla chips still crisp, loaded with green peppers, onions, tomatoes. Bacon on the side. Refried beans. Potatoes. The whole thing was packed with flavor—comfort food with just enough of a kick to remind you why you came. It’s a big plate. Too big for one person, really—especially with only two tortillas. You’ll end up crafting two monster tacos and still have a pile of filling leftover. I wanted one more tortilla, but I knew if I walked up to that counter again, I might not return with my dignity intact. The Barbacoa taco? Let’s not talk about it. Greasy, chewy, and bland. Felt like filler—something they keep on the menu because they have to, not because they care to. The salsa was an afterthought. Lifeless. Like it gave up halfway through the recipe and just showed up for attendance. As for the vibe—well, it’s a place that doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. No customer service theater. No curated experience. Lolita’s has been around long enough to stop caring about Yelp stars or trendy ambiance. It’s a “we make the food, you figure out the rest” type of joint. And apparently, that’s good enough to keep people coming in every day. So here’s my verdict: • Service: 1 out of 5 (but not hostile, just indifferent) • Coffee: 2 out of 5 (bonus point for being hot) • Barbacoa taco: 1 out of 5 (wouldn’t recommend) • Salsa: 1 out of 5 (a shrug in sauce form) • Migas plate: 4.5 out of 5 (would return just for this) Overall: 3.5 stars A gruff, no-frills joint that survives on the strength of one dish—and maybe a loyal crowd that doesn’t mind being ignored. If you’re a first-timer, bring patience, humility, and maybe a spare tortilla. And don’t expect anyone to ask how your day’s going. But hey—if you’re hungry, and you’re willing to earn your breakfast the hard way—those migas are worth it.

We went for breakfast on July 5. I have not been back to Waco since the early 2000s and omg it was like walking back in time. It still looks and smells the same. And thank God it still tastes the same because it was so freaking good!!! If you call in your order you can go through the drive thru to pick it up. Otherwise you go inside and order at the counter. They will give you a number if you are dining in. They have a little cooler with milk and soda and then they have coffee and tea. They have cookies and sweets at the counter and it is worth getting a bag to bring home. The food is good and authentic. The tortillas have just the right amount of brown and crisp to them. The hot sauce is not from New York. The lady at the front taking orders chats like your best friend and lets all the kids ring the bell. The guy at the window looks like he should be a bouncer at a fancy nightclub but is funny as all get out. The regulars sit at their particular tables and smile when you come in. It's not a tourist trap. This is home.

Diasterous. Read the reviews which sounded good and got a recommendation …however…when we got there around 9: 30am on a Friday ,surprised there was hardly anyone there. We soon found out why. No one greeted us, no told us to go to the counter to order - nothing. Then the man behind the counter wouldn’t even look at us or acknowledge. We waited 7 minutes which is not long but there was no one else waiting. I tried to engage and he walked off to take care of people at the take out. We left.

Stopped for a late breakfast. I had the Elephante burrito and it was great!! Good food at great prices and a friendly staff. Ill be coming back to Lolita's!!!🤗😋😁

Lolita's is a hidden gem. Simplicity is a symphony of perfection. Every bite of our food was a throwback to our grandmother's cooking. If you love true Mexican breakfast, this is home. The best part is they have not changed, the food quality is top notch,and glad to see they weathered the pandemic. Your taste buds will thank you..

This is a great find on the east side of Waco. I never knew there was so much happening over on that side of town. The eatery is beautifully set up and the food is amazing. Minus a few stars only because it does get very loud inside the restaurant. Either way I will recommend this to my friends and we will be back.

My son and I came here for lunch June 19th. Most of the seating was taken but we sat on the huge bar facing out the window. It was our first time here and was very pleasant. Fast service welcomed us, got our drinks and food. Food and pricing were great. This is a great spot and well worth eating here.

Place was packed and we waited less than 15 min for a table. The food we ordered took about 15 min to arrive, the servers were friendly and they had multiple people for refills. We ordered 2 custom burgers with veggie patty and one weight of glory (portobello mushroom burger) and technicolor dreamcoat sandwich (sweet potato and pickled beets filling) which were excellent. The food was good and the place was excellent to visit with friends.

Arrived about 1230 for a late lunch with a group. Ended up sitting at a hightop with six other men and started perusing the menu. Good selection and diverse offerings. Due to personal preferences, I went with a build your own burger and it came out perfectly. I had several refills of the house cola and the wait staff was attentive and responsive. The room was quite loud for a private conversation but in our group setting it worked ok. The place was full with several tables of our group sitting outside. Would recommend an early seating during lunch hour and I highly recommend the food. Everyone at our table was very complementary about the food. Kudos to the young lady clearing and cleaning tables, she was on point and focused, timely and turned them over promptly. Highly recommend for a visit if you are in the Waco area.

When we got there it was around 2pm on a Saturday. We had to wait if we did not want to sit outside, but I’m happy we waited it out because holy moly!! The food was so freaking good! Too bad we are not closer, but will not always be a stop when passing through from Houston!

The Holy Grail Is Real—and It’s Got Fries on the Side Revival Eastside Eatery | Waco, TX | 5 Stars They call it the Holy Grail, and after one bite, I understood why. This burger didn’t come to play—it came to preach. Juicy, flavorful, anchored by peppery arugula and creamy cheese, hugged between what I’m certain is a toasted brioche bun. Not too thick. Not too soft. Just enough to remind you: balance is holy. But the Holy Grail doesn’t walk alone. It comes with Holy Grail Fries, crisped at the edges, golden through the middle, salted just right. If I have one suggestion for Revival, it’s this: leave the ketchup packets to the drive-thrus. These fries deserve a ramekin. Dignify the dip. Now the dessert—this one surprised me. A mint chocolate chip mousse so light and airy, it nearly floated off the spoon. Drizzled with chocolate, sprinkled with Oreo crumbles, and topped with a mint Oreo, it was exactly the kind of portion and flavor a good meal deserves to end on. Sweet, cool, elegant, and restrained. My drink of choice: a chilled Maine Root soda, full-bodied and smooth. It paired with everything like it had rehearsed for the role. But this isn’t just about the food. Revival tells a story. Danielle and Travis Young didn’t grow up in restaurants. Danielle is a Baylor-educated clinical psychologist. Travis was in education. One night in 2017, they couldn’t find a local spot that was both fresh and soulful. So they asked a bold question: How hard could it be to open a restaurant? Hard. But they did it anyway. They found a long-abandoned church building on Elm Avenue and turned it into Revival. Not just in name, but in spirit. The menu leans into biblical wordplay—the Holy Grail burger, the Weight of Glory sandwich, the Technicolor Dreamcoat, the Garden of Eating salad. It’s cheeky, sure. But it’s also reverent. The inside is rustic-modern: exposed brick, real wood, soft light. It feels honest, grounded, and warm. Ordering is done at the table, with QR codes and friendly, present staff who seem genuinely glad to be there. It’s not performative. It’s personal. The outside patio is an open invitation—picnic tables under wide skies, next to a vibrant mural that welcomes you to East Waco like a hometown chorus. Revival didn’t just move in. It rooted. It respected the neighborhood, listened to the stories, and answered with presence. And that’s why this isn’t just another burger joint. It’s a declaration. Revival doesn’t beg for attention. It earns it—bite by bite, story by story. From the Golden Calf burger to the mousse that tastes like a whispered hallelujah, this is a restaurant that remembers why people gather around food in the first place. Five stars. No notes. Come hungry—and come ready to call it by name: The Holy Grail.

The food is very tasty!! The people are very nice and helpful! I will be back! And I’m bringing friends! Table for one no wait. But if there were more it would have been a wait.

We dropped by for a fresh brunch - a bowl of some kind. The menu is quite extensive with many nice choices. The staff was knowledgeable and could recommend bowls to our taste. They were well made and tasted well. My wife especially loved them. I am personally not much a fan of these bowls - half frozen berries and smoothies - I prefer bacon and cheese. But none the less, the food was really fresh and well made.

Oh My Juice is the cutest little juice shop! Located on a quaint walkable street, we stopped in and were blown away by the atmosphere! Vibes are normally the selling point for me, but in this case I didn't have to sacrifice the quality of the product to just get a post-worthy photo-- because the açaí was delicious! I live in San Diego and have a good bowl at my finger tips daily-- who knew Waco would out rank the west!?! All that being said- go! Enjoy an assortment of juices, açaí and smiles and see for yourselves!

I was excited to try this spot out, but was very disappointed. The acai bowl i ordered was not only gross, but I also asked for no pineapple and they added that on it! Not to mention I waited for my bowl for about 30min as teenagers tried to figure everything out, as if that was their first day working. I would not recommend this place at all, go somewhere else!

Best açai bowl in town for sure! I got the berry blend with blueberry, strawberry, granola, and honey and it’s soo good. Every time. And I just found out that they have anAnd I just found out that they have a small açaí bowl for two dollars every Tuesday at least for right now :). And it took me a little bit find, but I am liking the new location on Mary St.

Oh my juice is a delicious treat with the sweetest staff. My “Mint to be” bowl tasted just like mint chocolate chip ice cream but was so healthy and rejuvenating! The vibes were high and the smiles were big.

I visit OMJ every time I am in Waco and lament not having a spot with the quality and options of OMJ where I live normally. The nutty coco bowl is my favorite - I love that the acai sorbets are made in house and they are not overly sweet. The pear pitaya lemonade is where it's at! Overall, they do good food well and are kind. Can't wait to come back!

This place is so cute + the smoothies and bowls are delicious! I was visiting from out of state, but this is now a must-stop on my list if I visit again!

When you walk into Our Breakfast Place, it’s welcoming in a familiar kind of way. The kind of place where the coffee is hot, the décor hasn’t changed in years, and they greet you before you find your seat. Service starts strong. A server swings by quick to take your drink order, and soon after, a full pot of coffee lands on your table—no need to wait for refills. But that’s where the attention starts to slip. I ordered the Avocado Mash on Toast with a side of Ranch Potatoes—a clean, lighter choice. The server asked about eggs, and I assumed she meant as an add-on, not that eggs were included in the meal. So when the plate came out eggless, I realized there had been a communication breakdown. No big deal. Except she dropped off the food, said nothing, and disappeared. No “Can I get you anything else?” No “Enjoy your meal.” No check-in mid-bite to ask if it’s all right. I didn’t see her again until she dropped the check at the end and asked, “Was everything okay?” At that point, it’s too late to fix anything. Let’s talk food. The avocado mash was a highlight—generously portioned, chunky, creamy, drizzled with good olive oil and perked up by a wedge of lemon that brought real brightness. It was clean, simple, and satisfying. The potatoes, though? A miss. The cuts were all over the place—some thick and soft, others thin and burned, and more than a few half-raw. They lacked seasoning, tasted starchy, and had that unfortunate undercooked interior with an overcooked shell. The uneven chop made them cook unevenly, and it showed. I left most of them on the plate. As for the coffee, the pot-at-the-table model works in theory. It’s efficient, especially during busy breakfast rushes. But it also underlines the lack of attentive service—you pour your own, refill your own, and if you need anything, you’re on your own. And then comes the checkout bottleneck. They drop your check at the table, but you have to pay up front—right where the people waiting to be seated are also huddled. It creates a logjam of folks trying to leave and enter in the same square of tile. One lady in front of me had to dig through her bag, pack up a to-go order, swap bills for change, leave a tip—it took five minutes. And it wasn’t her fault. It’s just a system stuck in time. With today’s tech, there’s no reason they couldn’t cash you out at the table and keep things moving. Atmosphere? Comfortable. Familiar. But not particularly memorable. Service? Inconsistent. Started warm, ended cold. Food? Half hit, half miss. Generously, I’m giving it four stars. But next time, I’ll ask if the eggs are included—and I’ll hope the potatoes get a second chance.

Delicious! My son and I loved this cute brunch spot. Our waiter was so nice and very attentive. The restrooms were clean. There was a wait, but they were getting people say quickly. The food came out exactly as ordered and mu h quicker than I thought it would given how busy they were. If we ever find ourselves in waco at brunch time again we will for sure be back.

We were visiting Waco and decided to try them for breakfast. We enjoyed it so much, we came back the next day! Freshly ground coffee, delicious food and great service! What I really appreciated were the variety of options, plus smaller breakfast options, like 1 egg, 1 strip of bacon or a sausage patty and 1/2 of a Belgian waffle. Today, I tried the apple granola pancake with eggs and bacon. Excellent!

Nice quiet place in early a.m.. The staff is super friendly and hospitable. The food was hot and fresh. Exactly what I ordered the way I ordered it. The tables and utensils are very clean. I had the strawberry banana waffle, very reasonably priced. I would definitely stop here again. If your in Waco you might give it a try.

A Hidden Gem! This place was amazing. Food and service were outstanding plus it was reasonably priced. I would 100% recommend it when in Waco

I’ve been to this establishment a few times and have yet to be disappointed. The food is great with a variety of choices (and huge portions!) and the waiters are always friendly. I will say the wait for the food is a bit long but it is truly worth it. I ordered the chicken avocado omelette with a pancake as my substitution for bread -it was phenomenal. The strawberry banana waffle is also fantastic. Overall, 10/10. I have and will always recommend this spot to anyone who is looking for a good breakfast/brunch spot to eat at!

Our Breakfast place is a traditional American breakfast restaurant with some brunch/lunch options. The location is easily accessible and has lots of parking. It is always busy but the wait staff are friendly. The coffee is good and the food served hot.They close in the afternoon.

Overall I wanted to love it but man the food just isn't there for me. It lacks flavor (except the skewers those were awesome very small and skinny but great tasting) the noodles were literally like the cheapest ramen noodles and they tasted like it. The spring rolls taste like plain boiled cabbage. And let's not even start on the portion size lol can I atleast have the rest of my .25cent ramen package ended up eating at a different place in the hall because it was not filling and the only thing I'd call good were the skewers.

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food, I wouldn’t recommend coming here. The bread on the Tofu Bahn Mi we ordered was a Ciabatta bread that was stale, cold and dry. I am used to a French baguette that’s crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The tofu was cold and not seasoned or cooked (grilled or sautéed) thoroughly. There was white American mayo inside instead of yellow Vietnamese mayo and the pickled veggies did not have very much flavor. Sadly, the fried rice we ordered was dry and seemed like it had been reheated. I also asked for extra veggies and didn’t receive it. The staff I placed the order with over the phone seemed very abrasive and rude as well. Overall, a disappointing service and food experience.

We have eaten here since it opened. Tonight I got the yellow noodles spice level 2 and my daughter had fried rice with chicken spice level 4. This is what we always order. I am not sure what was going on in the kitchen but both of our dishes were so hot we barely ate any of it. It was actually so hot we couldn't even taste the food. The line was so long we didn't want to wait for a remake. Over all we were so disappointed we just tossed it away and left.

The food was amazing went yesterday forgot to review! The eggrolls 100% must try, especially the one with meat! Their fried rice is your choice of protein and very garlicky if that is not your thing I would not recommend… I wonder if they are able to adjust that 🤔. Looking forward to the next time I go they have more options but off what I received/ordered I will definitely be returning!

I really really wanted to like this place. As a Khmer, it's a rare treat to find a place that serves up Khmer cuisine. So traditionally, most really tasty Khmer dishes take a while to prepare and I get that this isn't the place for that (think food truck) so instead of a rural country side dish a khmer grandma made, it's more of a Phnom Penh fast food variety. Again, it's fine but I was missing what my mother, aunt and grandma would make. The dishes, which I included for you to see, were on the dry side and my particular dish was on the salty side. The other 2 said their dishes were on the sweet spectrum and the slices of carrots were dry. Overall, the consensus was that it tastes like generic Chinese take out. Again, you don't see many Khmer, or Cambodian restaurants in the wild and my hopes were high but I was let down. Plus the prices were on the high side...and that's without drinks. So many white people will think Khmer food tastes like generic Chinese take out...please don't!

I just did Uber Eats and the food I ordered was chicken fried rice with extra egg. The chicken and egg were so dry it taste like beef jerky and I also requested for my rice to be spicy there is no spice

Insanely Good Price for Insanely Good Food, super quick service for a hibachi/asian meal and can make any substitutions or changes based on request, would recommend to anyone needing a quick bite to eat or a nice sit downtown for a meal!

Excellent breakfast tacos. The tortillas are fresh and not store bought. I thought I was going to take a while in the drive thru, but as soon as I pulled up someone came outside to my truck in the drive thru to take my order. Excellent customer service at the window as well. They only take cash FYI. The tacos were amazing as well.

Love this place! Every time I come the family is super sweet, the food is bomb, and the service incredible. Please stop by (try the green salsa and the pineapple water!) Support mom and pop shops.

Quiet mom and pop mexican restaurant serving just breakfast and lunch. Everything's homemade. I've tried the burritos and spanish omelets. Both were amazing and full of flavor. Drive-thru and cash only. There might be a tiny wait but the food is delicious and well worth it!

My favorite breakfast of all time!! Emilia’s enchiladas!! The tacos are the best too! Friendly and family owned.

My favorite food in Waco. Amazing pork in verde sauce. Get a pupusa on the side! Corn tortillas are the best I've ever had.

Fabulous food! "Hole in the wall" is accurate, but you don't go to a taqueria (Mexican fast food) necessarily for the atmosphere--it's about the food! I visited Waco from Wisconsin, and went here based on its 4.6 star rating. I agree with 4.6! I had the Oso Enchiladas (pork with green sauce). Excellent! Their tortillas are hand-made. No chips and salsa, but food is "muy sabor"!

Fast,friendly and good food!! 5 STARS

This place is really nice and great for groups because there is something for everyone. Multiple dinner options for all of the people in your group. Pizza, sushi, burgers all in one place.

So glad we stopped by union food hall. They have great food options. We ate Huaco eatery and not only was the food delicious, the presentation of it was beautiful. The owner was so kind and passionate about what he does and it shows in the quality of food and service he provides to his customers. Would highly recommend.

Loved it! These food halls are such a great way to experience your own Taste of the Town. Union Hall does not disappoint, it is a great place to stop in for a drink or a bite while enjoying the downtown area of Waco. Roni's stands out in a great way!

Came and had ice cream here. Love the idea of this place. Makes dinner easy for your family especially when not everyone can agree on what they want. They have all types of food you can think of a yummy desserts. Definitely try it out.

We ate at Huaco. I spotted some locations around town, but we eat plenty of Mexican food so I wasnt planning to check it out. But in here, we saw some pics of the food at their food counter and it just looked very appetizing so we tried it. It tasted so good! It was more foodie than traditional, but it was very delicious. The food court had a lot of options - several Asian options, pizza, Caribbean, and burgers.

First time at Union Hall and our first stop was at Huaco eatery. Man what can I say, the food was incredible. Real authentic Mexican food! We tried the chips and queso with beef, pozole verde, torta de tinga and a kids chicken quesadilla. Everything was deliciously made, and the churro dessert was amazing!!!! Highly recommend trying this place out! Not only was the food delicious ,but the customer service was great from Alex and the Chef Sebastian!

This is a great place to go and get a different variety of food choices. I personally chose Roni's Macaroni Bar and it was extremely good. Lots of different choices of toppings to add to the Mac and Cheese. Highly recommend the pulled pork and brisket topping along with bacon.

Good Food, Good Vibes, and Texas Comfort on a Plate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ George’s Bar & Grill knows how to do comfort food right. We stopped in for a laid-back dinner, and it turned out to be one of those meals where you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. I had the catfish basket, and let me tell you—it was fried to perfection. Crispy golden crust on the outside, tender and flaky catfish on the inside. No grease, just straight-up flavor. Paired it with garlic mashed potatoes, which were creamy, rich, and had just enough bite to let that garlic shine through. It hit the spot. My wife went with the steak finger basket and a side of mac and cheese, and she was all smiles. The steak fingers were hearty, well-seasoned, and had that satisfying crunch you want from Southern-style comfort food. And the mac and cheese? Creamy, cheesy, and made like someone’s grandma was back there stirring the pot. The atmosphere was just as good as the food—casual, friendly, and buzzing with that local charm that makes you feel right at home. Service was quick and on point, and the prices were more than fair for the portions we got. George’s is one of those places that doesn’t need to be flashy—it wins you over with flavor, comfort, and consistency. If you’re in the mood for Southern favorites served with a smile, this place is a must-visit.

Just as good as it was 20 years ago! Cold Shiner schooners, cool vibe, and great food! Patio seating on a beautiful day is just the best! The menu is huge and has sooo many things! Service is excellent and plenty of seating whether you want indoor restaurant, at the bar area or the covered patio semi outside. Highly recommend George's.

Ordered the Buffalo wings ( 8 bone in wings) get all the way home and I was given boneless. After working a 12 hours at work and tired I’m not going back to get the right order. But definitely not happy about this and the reason behind this review!

The service is always good at George’s. A great place to grab cold beer and appetizers. The fajitas are great as well.

Good menu variety. Breakfast they can pretty much take an order "a la Carte" without having to pick from their predetermined menu choices. When you don't know where else to go, George's is always a good choice. Great lunch specials too.

Went here with a friend on a Wednesday for lunch. It was busy and now I know why. The food was very good. I got the lunch special chicken fried steak with 2 sides. It was very good and tender . The waitress was very friendly and the prices are good as well. Will definitely be going back when I can.

We have eaten at George's on several occasions, and they have always been consistent with good food and service. On our last visit, I had the fajita chicken tacos, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! The portions of chicken in tacos were abundant and not lacking like most other places. The only negative I have is that the parking lot gets full and crowded pretty fast. But even then, we never were not able to find a spot. it just took a little maneuvering and finesse. But don't let that stop you, go check them out for yourself. You'll be glad you did. Highly recommend them.

Great big country place with a really fun atmosphere. It’s a huge building with lots of seating, a bar, inside venue, and outside space as well. It wasn’t very crowded when we went so there was plenty to do like corn hole and enjoying the live music. My friends all had burgers and fries and said they were a great size and tasted amazing. I got the fried catfish myself and loved it. I believe our waitress name was Maya and she was great at taking our order and being helpful. It is one of those place where you place your order at a counter then the staff sends you a text when your food is ready. It is not a kid friendly place and they do charge $ for those under 21.

We had a great time at The Boys From Oklahoma pre party! The live music was awesome. What a fun place. Staff was great too.

Came here on a recommendation of a friend for a "very casual place", which it is, BUT DO NOT COME HERE FOR THE FOOD! We were extremely inedible due to a pretty varied menu online, but when ee got there, the cashier said "Oh, you missed the other menu. This is all we're serving now cuz there's a concert." The hamburger patty was inedible. Some kinda mush patty with no texture and weird flavor. The kids quesadilla is one tortilla folded in half, and all of my family coukd not eat their fries. Lukewarm and soft, they had some weird seasoning with sugar?The meat in my son's Philly cheesesteak did not look fresh. My grilled chicken salad was a'ight in a clear plastic container with tons of iceberg, carrots and tomatoes. Chicken was tasty, just needed more. The highlight was the spicy ranch and the mozzarella cheese sticks. Flies were a problem even while inside , as the door to patio/concert area is open. When I got back to hotel, the clerk even said "Ohhhh, nooo...nobody goes there for the food" 🤷‍♂️ I did enjoy my cold Lone Star beer! 🍻 but I definitely will not be back .

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and the customer traffic was light. The lady taking the orders wasn’t the friendliest person, the outside was nice but there was no band on Sunday afternoon so we sat inside, the inside was not the cleanest, and the food was just okay - okay brisket sandwich and pesto sandwich was not typical pesto.

One cool venue. The naming is not haphazard...it does have a true backyard feel. Spend time with friends, enjoy the entertainment, and come by often.

My wife and I was in town to see our son who’s a freshman at Baylor, we came in on Friday night with him & Instantly was greeted by a gentleman who I think is a bouncer his name was Branden if I recall correctly, he welcomed us into the bar & was knowledgeable about the area as he stated he just moved here recently! We love meeting new people!! The bar had a show happening so the stage/outside area was unfortunately closed! I appreciate him taking the time to talk to us, the kitchen staff was very nice and the food was great :) only a little bit of a wait time but that’s no problem! Friday night vibes and great music is what this place is about! 5 stars all around!!!! Will be back!!!!

Awful experience. We visited on June 10 with my family, and the visit was disappointing from the start. The server behind the counter blew her nose and immediately took our order and served someone else’s food—without washing her hands. We had to wait longer than expected for our food because we were told the cook was outside taking a smoke break. When the food finally arrived, it was a letdown—the salad was wilted and very basic. The cleanliness of the restaurant was also concerning. Towels were randomly left on the floor, tables weren’t clean, and there were extension cords for their instruments scattered throughout the space. We came to Waco to visit the Magnolia Silos and were hoping for a better dining experience. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place and definitely won’t be returning.

Cafe Rosa is a blend between a fast food restaurant and a regular restaurant. I like the ease of placing an order and then picking it up minutes later. Serving portions are just right and there’s no skimping. The value for your money is great and that’s why we would tend to go to Rosa other than some other Mexican restaurants. The only drawback that I found is that the food is not piping hot like normal Mexican restaurants, Where the server Place your plate down on the table holding the potholder. The chips unfortunately are stored in an open container rather than a heated bin and so they’re not as crisp, hot and fresh. Oh, and you don’t get free refills on your chip basket.

Got our order in drive thru, ordered 2 #55 & 3 #23 with jalapeñosin the side, unlike other restaurants serving tostados where you can taste and feel the texture of the refried beans, these were soggy, refried beans had a sauce texture :( I had to use a fork to eat a tostado. Geez!! So much for a crisp corn tortilla. No jalapeños on the side and the wrapped in paper tortillas were cold. Now I know why it's been SO long since I've eaten at this location. Really? We can't do better??

Good. Consistent. Reasonable. Long over due for a New Braunfels location. Please look at the old Los Cucos location on Common between Loop 337 & Gruene Rd.

Use to love Taco 🌮 Tuesday. Lately they been putting less & less taco meat in their 🌮 tacos, not even a spoonfull. Will not be ordering any taco Tuesday for a while, unless I go on a diet 🤭.

I have eaten at Rosa's Cafe all over Texas....the food and service are always been consistent at every one. Fast service always! Big menu with great dishes. I recommend the fresh tortillas...made on site hourly....you can watch them being made! Stop in and try a dish.

Delicious Mexican comfort food. Ordered a burrito that was heavier than a car and have never been so full and satisfied, and the price was the best part. This is the place to go to get a quick meal after a long day.

Not actual mexican food, it's the mcdonalds of mexican food I guess... reviewing on a scale 1-10... Tamales - 2 Enchiladas - 2 Tostadas - 5 Taco - 6 (add cilantro and onions) Rice and beans - 8 Salsa - 3 Tortilla chips - 10

Our church was having an appreciation breakfast and we wanted to make sure that it was a bit more upscale, so we ordered Panera bagels and pastries. The service over the phone was great. (Though you do have to time it correctly when ordering a large catering order over the phone to talk to the catering manager. Not a problem if you give everyone enough time - over a week's notice.) Brittany was delightful and made sure that our order was on time and correct, which is great on an early Sunday morning order. We will keep using Panera due to the ease of ordering and their ability to serve us well for a large group of people (600 servings)! Oh! Also, Brittany made sure to separate the options with nuts for us. Definitely not an allergy I remembered, but that was such a kind gesture.

12/05/2024-UPDATE from one star. Happy to see a difference from before. Although the pictures are a far cry from what you recieve, thats pretty common. Much more robust sandwiches over several visits and the coffee is still great. Staff is friendly. Bagels seem to have decreased in size over the years but are still delicious. Hopefully my previous experience was a one time. 09/05/2024- All I can say is Dam. Panera used to be such a good and reliable value. Place was practically empty at 8:20 AM. Cashier was very polite. Got a to-go order and was immediately told no everything bagels. Actually nothing but asiago and something else bagels. Was able to get one finally as my order was being made but wish I didn't. Nothing like what they used to be. Better value bagels at Dunkin by far. Ordered two breakfast sandwiches. Pretty pathetic and almost criminal. Now, I know fast food chains always shortchange your drive-thru and to-go orders because they assume you wont check nor hassle with going back to complain. But Panera? Come on! Looks like Hellen Keller made my sandwiches. Pretty pricey for what you get. Then I went to get my coffee, light roast. But no. Empty. Just like the store. Going again and repost an update.

I came through the drive through Tuesday, September 9th at 7:30 PM. The gentleman who took my order and who worked at the window was extremely caring and thoughtful. He was very kind and quick with my order. The food was very delicious and hot! Thank you so much for your excellent customer service! I got the pick 2: broccoli cheddar soup and the turkey cheddar sandwich. My go to, and it was absolutely delicious! Question for restaurant establishment: Do you still have the fireplace in the restaurant, and if so, will it be in use during the fall/winter months?

I’ve tried three times to get a bread bowl and each time no matter what time I come they don’t have any. Came in Sunday they were advertising soufflés they didn’t have any. I have never been to a place that advertises things that they don’t offer on the menu …unbelievably bad situation and the food isn’t that good either The weight was ridiculously long.

Great experience here today. Robert the manager here was a ray of sunshine. I’m here for I’m out town taking care of again parents. Robert’s enthusiasm and demeanor, was a wonderful addition to an otherwise gloomy day. Employees need to know that they really can make a different in someone’s day. Don’t minimize the importance of a quality interaction.

Strawberry Fresca had a 1/4 of a strawberry 🍓 Ive seen others with a few strawberries 🍓 😕 Please take care with the orders. Thank you 😊

Food has gone way downhill and prices way up. Limp lettuce for salads and dry sandwiches that don’t really taste good for a whole lot of cash. Bakery goods are still good, especially the cinnamon rolls. Counter help is clueless when asked basic questions about ingredients on a sandwich. Asking questions is completely hopeless. Do a little better training the help would be a good start.

Second time here while visiting our children. The service has been good both times. Very friendly. Good prices and quantity. Love the retro atmosphere. And they have a BLT with 10 pieces of bacon on it :). Plus fresh cut fries

Chicken Fried Throwback with a Side of Silence Kim’s Diner, Waco, TX When you walk into Kim’s Diner, the checkerboard floors and chrome-edged tables don’t just say retro—they holler it across the room like a jukebox waking from a nap. Vintage Coca-Cola lights dangle above the booths, red vinyl chairs line up like soldiers, and the walls are pure Americana—nostalgic murals, classic car prints, and diner kitsch. It’s got the bones of a roadside legend, even if the soul’s on break. I went with a small Chicken Fried Steak Dinner, and for the price, it was a solid move. Let’s break it down: • The Steak: Nicely battered, golden-brown crust, well-seasoned throughout. What made it work was that the cook actually respected the protein—no grease pool, no soggy corners. I specifically asked for the white gravy on the side—I like to see the steak and decide the gravy journey, not get smothered into submission. That request was honored, and the pour-as-you-go approach made each bite better. Props to the cook. Mashed Potatoes & Brown Gravy: Classic. Creamy, hot, and the brown gravy wasn’t salty or clumpy—just smooth and a little savory. No frills, but well-executed. Fried Okra: Hot, generously portioned, and while it leaned on the softer side rather than crispy, the flavor came through. It still delivered that Southern familiarity you expect. Now here’s where the engine coughed: the service. The waitress never introduced herself, took my order, and then vanished—posted up at the bar chatting with a coworker for the rest of the meal. I wasn’t offered refills, no check-in, and no dessert prompt. She did ring me up, but not even a “thanks” or “come back again.” I was ready for that Chocolate Lava Cake, but I wasn’t about to interrupt a social hour to get it. And that’s a shame—because the food earned a second round. Despite the ghost-town energy and the invisible server act, I would still return. Kim’s delivers where it counts most: hearty comfort food, good prices, and a chef who’s clearly still showing up, even when the front-of-house doesn’t. With some polished hospitality, this could easily be a five-star joint. But for now, it’s a four-star stop—with a side of missed potential.

As visitors from out of town, this was the first restaurant where we truly felt welcomed. The staff greeted us warmly, offered thoughtful food accommodations, and even shared helpful local tips on where to go and explore. Their genuine kindness made our experience unforgettable. We will recommend this place to our Houston friends 🧡

Old timey retro diner feels. Super affordable and such great customer service, exactly what southern hospitality feels like. The club sandwich was delicious and the fries very crispy. Love the whole aesthetic of this place, would definitely come again.

This place is very good definitely worth a trip. While they were busy and it took a minute to get waited on, the servers are very friendly. The food was fresh and delicious, very tasty, lots of flavor. Lots of cool decor throughout the restaurant.

Was running errands yesterday having a terrible day until i came here. Atmosphere is sooooo adorable how could anyone be upset looking at such beauty. I ordered the chilli and cheese tots which were AMAZING!!!!! The young man that took my order was so helpful and cheerful. Im glad i came here. 10000 stars if i could!!!

Ok. This is not a 5 star restaurant nor do they serve gourmet cuisine. But what it is - it is amazing. Great burgers, very reasonably priced, the warmest friendliest staff I've ever seen. For "southern comfort" food- nice people, retro environment it is the best. There's something amazing about a place that when you walk in they know your name they know what you like they know when you're through that you're going to take half of your plate with you at home. This place just oozes friendliness it says we care about our people

Stopped in for a latte on my way to Austin. It was so wonderful I made it a point and stayed the night in Waco on the way back! Magnolia Press coffee was my first stop again this morning!!!! I had the honey bear latte and then today I had a Vanilla latte! Both times amazing. Both times wonderful customer connection and service. Both times the facility was busy and charming and clean! This will be a regular stop for me. As I will be traveling to Austin quite a bit now. I have MPC pinned as a new favorite!

Great experience here! Very attentive staff and what a cool place. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy your mocha (like I did) and my ham and cheese croissant. Beautiful garden patio and lots of tables and chairs there too. If you’re anywhere where near here, stop in! You’ll enjoy it!

Such a cute little coffee shop! It gives off studious, cozy vibes. I really appreciated that they offer both still and sparkling water for customers (a small touch that goes a long way). Plenty of great seating options both inside and out. I had their cold brew and it was excellent—smooth, strong, and just what I needed. Definitely a spot I’ll be returning to!

Magnolia Coffee Press is a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing coffee shop. The space is thoughtfully designed, with a lovely mix of colors and furnishings that make it feel both cozy and stylish. You can really see the care that went into creating the atmosphere. There’s plenty of seating available, making it a great spot to catch up with a friend over coffee and a bite to eat. The staff are friendly and kind, which adds to the welcoming vibe. It can get a little loud at times with the hustle and bustle of customers coming and going — but that’s part of the charm and energy you'd expect from a vibrant local coffee shop. Overall, a great spot to relax, connect, and enjoy a beautifully crafted drink. Definitely worth a visit!

Service was good and the atmosphere was nice. Comfy seating. Coffee and tea is not any better than a Starbucks or anything else. Way over-hyped because it's part of the whole magnolia farms thing. Went here thinking it was a nice coffee shop to work in and then realized it was more of a tourist stop. Would've rather gone somewhere less busy that has better drinks.

Pretty average prices and a super nice atmosphere. I was expecting it to be even more than starbucks but it was even a bit cheaper. The pear refresher was really good. They also have complimentary sprakling water on tap.

Visited during the Silobration Event and the coffee is really good. Tried the Salted Maple Cider. It was extremely good. It was apple cider with a maple whip cream and it was very flavorful. Also tried the 1905 hot coffee and it had a rich coffee flavor and was not too sweet. I really enjoyed it. The warm banana bread with butter was very tasteful. The only thing I would change would be to add walnuts to the bread but overall I would highly recommend anything I tried there.

We have seen this place many times over the past year. On March 15, 2024 was the day we stopped by about 8:30 AM for breakfast. 1st, we wondered if it was open because the parking lot was basically empty. Then we saw the drive thru. One thing we both noticed on the menu is that any changes made would cost you extra. We both chose to create your own breakfast burrito, large. We both got sausage egg, bean, potato, and Pico de gallo. We also got chips and hot sauce. We both noticed immediately the hot sauce had a different taste, and we thought too much cumin. Anyway wasn't for our taste. The burritos were big, but again, they lacked taste. As we were finishing up I needed to waste my hands, so I went to the men's room and let say it was if I stepped into the side of the road hole in a wall gas station. Ok, the truth, I do make exception time to time for location, but for a $34,$4 tip, breakfast with no bloodmary, this isn't a place I'm going to visit again. As always, keeping real per my experience.

This place use to be the place to be back in the day. I’ve attempted to eat here 3 times and all 3 times have been more than disappointing. This order I placed is way wrong. I did not get what I paid for. Shocker, right? One issue is the salsa. I asked and paid for extra GREEN sauce. I received this absolutely DISGUSTING red sauce. It smells bad. Like really bad. Throw in the trash bad. I tasted it and it definitely is bad. And let’s not forget to add the 2 pieces of egg shells I had the pleasure of enduring. Everything ended up in the trash, where it belongs. Do better!! Especially if you’re gonna overcharge on “large burritos” that end up as a small, or NOT the right ingredients.

A Woodway staple, probably one of the longest running restaurants here besides Shipley’s. The Leal family is wonderful and such a blessing to the community. Love the way you are treated inside - can’t beat the breakfast burrito!!

I was not a fan! 21.00 for two burritos that look like tacos not worth it at all! Average price you pay for two burritos in Waco is 15 bucks. They had absolutely no flavor. I dumped a whole container of red salsa and a whole container of green salsa on my taco / burrito and still tasted nothing. There was no flavor the salsa had no flavor it gave the burrito no flavor. I told my sister, am I tripping or does this taste like nothing? The salsa was watery. All it did was water down my burrito. Then, most places when ordering 2 burritos give you a green and red per burrito. They gave me one red and one green I had to pay for an extra Green in an extra red salsa. Would NOT eat here again.

A bit pricey but definitely satisfied with their breakfast burritos. Smaller than I imagined but filled me up regardless! Their flour tortillas are on point! My only complaint would be their hours.

My wife Marcela and I went to Leals today. The food and service were spectacular. I have been coming here since middle school football days and the food is just as amazing. Do yourself a favor and go try it, you'll be glad you did!

This is authentic Mexican food, not tex-mex like Rosa's down the street. I say that because some of these reviews seem to be looking for more of that flavor and experience.... this isnt that. If you want Abuela's tortillas, and authentic salsa, not picante sauce, and authentic recipes you found your spot. Nothing fancy to the building but who cares its a local Mexican diner that's been in the same location since I was in high-school. Not a date night spot. It's where locals come for breakfast and lunch. If you're offended by Spanish speaking workers, make your own food at home. Its family owned and operated, you're going to feel like part of the family and leave full.

A beautifully maintained and well-designed area featuring a great selection of interesting shops and diverse dining options. The entire premises are exceptionally clean and inviting, with plenty of attractive photo opportunities that make the visit even more enjoyable.

Magnolia Market is an experience, not just a store. From the moment you walk in, you can tell how much thought and heart went into every detail — from the curated home decor to the layout of the entire space. It’s beautifully designed, clean, and full of inspiration for every kind of home style. The grounds are just as impressive as the market itself. There’s plenty of open space to relax, sit with a drink from Magnolia Press, or enjoy something tasty from the food trucks. It’s super family-friendly, with lawn games and places for kids to run around while adults shop or unwind. Yes, it can get a little crowded, especially on weekends, but the staff keeps things running smoothly and the vibe stays warm and welcoming. If you're a fan of Fixer Upper or just love great design, it’s definitely worth the trip. Magnolia Market lives up to the hype.

The perfect place to visit as a family. There were tons of cute shops that my wife and daughters loved and plenty of outdoor space and games to keep the rest of us entertained while they shopped. Clean bathrooms and lots of good food trucks too!

Great place to explore and have some food. Classy and diverse range of goods for sale and it didn't have a 'tourist trap' vibe which was nice. We stopped in for a browse and some lunch on our way from Austin to Dallas. We're from Australia and we were on a vacation in TX. Some people in Austin suggested Waco was 'boring' and 'only a college town'. They were wrong. (They were also probably from Southern CA.) Waco was great and next time we're going to stay there for a few days for sure. Everybody was so nice - and it's beautiful!

Upon stepping in, the market was very well decorated and lively. However the prices are genuinely insane. A copper scooper the size of your hand will cost 50$, a single icecream scooper costs 18$, and its basically the same for every other item in the store. The bathrooms are pretty nice though, there’s an air freshener, two trashcans, and a diaper changing bed.

For visitors to Waco, Magnolia Market is an absolute must-see, boasting an atmosphere that perfectly complements its varied shopping and dining options, not to mention spotless restroom facilities. The overall experience was truly exceptional.

This place has grown a ton since I last came here about 7 years ago! Cute spot to hang with the family, eat lunch and shop! You won’t need a full day but definitely cute spot!

This lovely Cafe had the hometown feel and an aroma-filled atmosphere you couldn't fake. The cook made me a stack of, white chocolate chip and blueberries pancakes. You wouldn't regret a visit at this grand location and restaurant. We had a 25 minute wait-time for a table. But, every moment was worth the wait. Wi-Fi was available and the Arnold Palmer Mixed Tea I requested felt fresh and crisp like the mid morning breeze. I recommend this restaurant when you're in the mood for farm fresh eggs and newly thick-sliced beacon. Enjoy... 😃

reasonable prices. good portions. food pretty good but fish a little undercooked. everything piping hot except french fries were cold. There seems to be a policy of making sure every table gets to "enjoy" a baby nearby. I don't understand why any restaurant can't put the babies in one area and the people who want a quiet meal in another instead of seating the babies next to my table in a half full restaurant.

We had a great experience thanks to our waitress, Margaret! She was incredibly attentive, super friendly, and made sure all of our order was taken care of perfectly. Her attention to detail even though it was busy and warm attitude made our visit extra enjoyable. Our drinks were always and the food was great. It’s not every day you get such great service — thank you, Margaret!

Always enjoy it. Food is consistently great and staff is friendly. The chicken omelette is our go-to. First time I was recommended it I thought it sounded strange, but it’s been a staple ever since. Cinnamon roll is also amazing.

Brown House Cafe, I wish I could give you 20 stars. I came to have lunch earlier this week, and you treated my 89-year-old grandmother like royalty. The incredibly kind manager made sure that she had a seat with a cushion, overheard our conversation that the orange slices were too thick for her to chew, and he suddenly materialized with thin slices of orange. Our lovely waitress made sure she had everything she needed. The manager even walked us out to the car and carried our to-go box so I could help my grandmother with her walker. A kind stranger (or angel) even paid for our lunch! Thank you, whoever that was! You made our day a field of flowers. We will be back. (Also thank you to the table of kind ladies who came over to say hi to my grandmother on their way out. She loved it.)

The food was great and it was served quickly after ordering. However, it took longer than usual for someone to get our drink order or to simply say hello. Once our food was order she never returned to check on us which I was dissatisfied about because I was alone with a toddler and infant. I needed extra napkins and forks because well they drop stuff. But she only came back to give me the check when I asked for it. Food was great but service could be better.

This place is good—great vibe and excellent service. I had the chicken fried steak with onion rings and mac and cheese. The chicken fried steak was excellent, and fantastically large. The onion rings were good, but not exceptional. The only thing I disliked was the mac and cheese as it was bland. I would still recommend eating here as most of their menu items are excellent and their service is phenomenal. But due note that as of July 2024, the online menu does not match the sit-down menu (the online menu is cheaper).

We ate around 10 am and started off with Biscuits were old and hard, but they still served them anyways. We sent them back and the server DID take them off our ticket but we really really wanted Biscuits and Gravy this morning. Anyways we were not at all pleased with the Chicken Fried Steak or the Beef Fajita meat which I added to my veggie omelette for easier ordering. We ate some and left more but we won't be returning. People who worked there were nice though.

worst Experience , got my order took , waited over 40 min for 2 breakfast burritos. finally decided to leave. do not recommend !

Beware of the cashier purposely over charged me and when I called back for prices they over charged me for a burrito and drink I didn’t it take it back because. I will never go back equal right

Food was on point!! Very good service!!

Amazing food here!! Well worth it to try it..won't be disappointed🖒

Very down to home place to eat. Great service. Food awesome.

Everyone should try this restaurant. It's the bomb in every way!

The food tasted good but until I saw the hair in the Oreo waffle. Place looked good until I saw cockroach. Chicken fajita omelette was very tasty. The service was good but felt the place was not hygienic. Mentally I wasn’t okay dining here, wouldn’t recommend.

To start with, the server was very slow in delivering our order as we can see our food sitting there on the counter for almost 15 mins and then when she brought the food, she missed the chocolate chip pancake(which she said herself) and yet she forgot about it for next 20 mins. Then, as a server, she never came to check if we wanted anything else, and its not like the restaurant was very busy and there were no other servers. Then, when she finally came and when we told her that she missed the chocolate pancake then she looked at us with an angry face. Secondly, we got the wrong of the chocolate chip pancake(picture attached below/above), and everyone knows its not how it looks.

It’s best to NOT order stuff to go from this IHOP. On several occasions I’ve got home to realize my order is not only incomplete (the 4 sausage links I ordered were nowhere to be found) but the stuff I got wasn’t right either. I watched my wife dig tomatoes and onions out of her omelette for 5 minutes. Better double check your order before you leave.

I ordered the French toast combo meal. I didn't receive my french toast until the meal was over. We don't blame the server. She said someone else was supposed to deliver the order. We ran out of coffee and water. We were never offered refill. Not once did we see a manager on the floor. A couple next to us waited for 15 minutes before their order was taken. There was a gentleman waiting when we got here to pick up an order. He walked to the front to cancel his order because he had waited so long. I do not know what systems this particular restaurant has in place, but man...this place sucks. Oh, and the manager took a whole 2.99 off my meal because I refused the french toast, which had obviously been sitting for a while. In a climate where customers are choosing to stay home and eat, restaurants need to be doing it better. This place was a major fail.

Johnathon got an attitude. 40 bucks for nasty food and wrong drinks. not even busy. really wanted a refund for those nasty excuses of crepes but karma is more fun.

Sugar is the best she makes you feel welcomed and always smiling. She has a great personality and when she’s not working I hop does not feel the same because when she’s not working the customer service is never the same. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! We love coming to ihop when we have smiling faces and great customer service

We had a wonderful experience at IHOP! Our server, Desiree, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out quickly, tasted great, and made our visit even better.

Ordered online ahead of time so we wouldn't Have to wait as long. The order took away past our estimated Pick up time. and no Customers were in the parking lot and no one was in the drive through. Don't understand why we had to wait so long and then go in on check on our food When they weren't busy at all. We found out that our online ordered printed, but no one saw it so after waiting over 25 mins they hadn't started on our food. Very bad customer service and wait time.

Always clean! Great staff. Friendly! Always working to give you the best experience possible. You can tell things are made fresh to order. Super yummy! My family really love the Dr Pepper shakes. Their drive thru is also pretty efficient.

We will from now on be forever stopping at this specific location anytime we come to Texas from Chicago. From the second we walked in we were greeted with a smile and our cashier Phillip S. Had all the patience in the world for us and was extremely helpful. The crew at 5am did an awesome job. Ty guys :)

This is a restaurant that does it right. I left a negative review at a Whataburger location across town a few days ago because of poor service and an unreasonably long wait time. I had the opposite experience at this restaurant today. We went at the lunch hour and I had my food by the time I got my drink and sat down. The staff was friendly and the food was hot and tasty. Excellent experience.

We really like these cheeseburgers and the fries. Burger are about the size of Burger King's whoppers

I went through The drive-through and ordered a crispy chicken sandwich with mayonnaise, tomato lettuce, and ask them to add pepper jack cheese. When I got home and unwrapped the sandwich, you can clearly tell that the Chicken was overcooked. I tried to take a bite of it, but it is very hard. I have never had a problem at this Whataburger, but this sandwich is horrible. I don’t think the person making it cared about the quality of what he/she was serving.

This review is for the new bacon blue cheese burger as well. Wait was a little longer than usual and it was just me in the drive thru. Good portion of blue cheese was on the burger and toppings were nice and fresh. Fries tasted a little old and the sprite was a little off. Gave me my condiments I requested. And the man in the window was nice.

Awful just awful. Made an online order at 8:30 got there at 9 had to wait till 9:30 for them to finish my food. Got my food, opened it and they put little plastic trays in it to seperate the food and just ruined the toppings on my pancakes. There were barely any hash browns paid like 3 bucks for a quarter of a potato. Absolutely abysmal. Will be doing online ordering from IHOP from now on. It's just across the street. Also terrible service. Or rather just disrespectful service. You should not ask for a tip if your service was awful.

On 12/3/24, @ 1 am, Stopped for a Bite. Ordered a Cheeseburger, Fries with a Dr. Pepper. Restaurant only had one other customer. waitress Donna R. was great,.. Food came out fast & was Delicious. Restaurant was clean. Nice place. 🤠👍👍

This Denny's location should be embarrassed for their poor performance and pitiful customer service. I ordered a pancake combo with eggs and hashbrowns. I specifically requested that the bacon be crispy and not flaccid and limp. What I received was what I said I didn't want. My coffee was lukewarm at best, and the hashbrowns were just blah. A male walked into the dining area and began picking up the dishes at the empty tables. He proceeded to talk loud at some other worker towards the back, that it noticeably startled several of the diners, including me. This behavior is not professional at all. But, I guess it's accepted. I was charged $16 for a plate of cold mess, lukewarm coffee, and an earful of useless unwanted conversation amongst the Dennys staff. Eat at your own risk because the food is not served at its best.

The Bourbon Chicken Skillet was actually really good. I went in thinking I was going to have breakfast, but this kept pulling me back on the menu, so I ordered it and am glad I did! My waitress was efficient & attentive.

We walked in with a rather large party of 14. The host was nice, but as soon as the server came by, it was just attitude. Another group came in, pointed at us, and said they had to wait because of us. The server said something along the lines of “why they be here” to the other group. She was clearly talking about us but avoided looking at us, and when she did, it was with a nasty attitude. We were polite and said we didn’t mind waiting and were totally fine with other parties being seated before us. But then she told another group that someone “walked in on her” and kept complaining about us. If she had just respectfully told us that she was busy and seating our group would be tough, we would’ve understood. The wait wasn’t the issue at all. It was the way she treated us, the way she talked about us, and how unprofessional she was. She kept talking about us from across the restaurant, even pointed at us, and said the wait would be long because of us. It sucks because this was my uncle’s first time there, and now this is the experience he’s left with. We had talked the place up before going. Really disappointing. I hope she finds some happiness or peace in her life so she can treat people who are being nothing but polite and understanding a little better.

I recently visited Denny's, and I had an excellent dining experience. The restaurant offers a delicious selection of meals, especially their steak with vegetables, which was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The vegetables were fresh and complemented the dish perfectly. The service was outstanding; the staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured a pleasant experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, making it a great place for a relaxing meal. Overall, I highly recommend Denny's for anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service. I will definitely be returning! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We came in at 930 at night. There were 2 other people besides my husband and I in the restaurant. The waitress immediately stated “I’m the only server tonight” to which we replied “That’s no problem at all”. However, the food was AWFUL. My husband’s hash browns were burnt. The sizzlin skillet I ordered was so hot I couldn’t eat it, and overcooked. It burnt the roof of my mouth. My husband ordered the Philly cheesesteak omelet, the steak was burnt also. I have pictures but can’t post them.

Employees are great. Sat in line for 35+ minutes, while all orders were going to the order online line. For $22 dollars you’d think they could at least fill up the fries container. Not a great experience tonight!

This is the second time I e been to this location with my order wrong. I couldn’t go back this time bc I had an appointment. Be sure to check your order before you leave.

Jason made my day! We briefly chatted while he took my drive thru order and it blessed my heart to have such a kind interaction. God bless you, Jason!

they always get my order correct , Super fast as well the location just sucks a bit because of all the traffic

We went through drive through on August 4 at 6:52 pm we order 2 regular sandwiches and a regular with no pickles and add Colby jack cheese, plus a cookie and 2 sweet teas Brianna in the drive through completely butchered our order she didn’t read it back to us or anything was to worried about talking to my boyfriend about small talk. When we go to the window they didn’t have my boyfriend’s name or our order…. They had one for Jessie not his names…. We got 2 spicy sandwiches 3 sweet teas a regular sandwich with pepper jack instead of Colby and no cookie… the manager barley could understand us due to langue barriers and she brought us two regular sandwiches but completely forgot my boyfriends sandwich he hates spicy food… so instead of complaining for a third time he just accepted the food and we left. I love this location I live right down the road this was the first time there service was not up to standards for a normal Chick-fil-A… and it was very disappointing.

Oh honey, it’s worth sitting int the fast moving line for. Smiling faces greet you, repeat your order. Another awesome employee is there in line to hand your receipt to you. Next employee, still polite and smiles, gives you your order and wishes you an awesome day! Just look around, not a Chick-fil-a without the longest line around. The food is great. I’ll be back!

The best Chick-fil-A in town. Friendly stuff, delicious food, good service, very clean and a play area for children. Chicken nuggets are delicious for pick eaters especially kids. This place is always packed during lunchtime especially the drive through but they still have good service.

Solid Panera location with their signature cafe atmosphere - modern design with warm wood tones and coral accents. Love their new digital menu boards and the convenient rapid pick-up area for online orders. The breakfast sandwich I tried was done well with fluffy eggs, though tables could use more frequent cleaning during peak hours. The spacious seating area has a mix of booths and tables, with their signature pendant lighting creating a cozy ambiance. Pro tip: Join their Unlimited Sip Club (spotted on their cups) if you're a regular - it's great value for coffee and drinks. The exterior is well-maintained with good accessibility features and bollards for safety. While the food quality is consistently good (those cheese eggs look perfect!), knocked one star off because the tables needed better attention during my visit. Still a reliable spot for fresh-baked goods, soups, and sandwiches when you want something a step up from fast food. Best for: Quick business lunches, coffee meetings, or grabbing breakfast on the go. Their rapid pick-up system is efficient if you order ahead through their app.

Am I the only one who noticed that the fountain machine is really dirty on the outside and it has mold... It makes me wonder how much bacteria and toxins are holding inside the machine. Pay attention, this machine needs to be replaced. I already mentioned it at the restaurant. Please mention it to the restaurant too, so that they can do something... It has been like that for more than a year, I don't know how they pass food inspection..

This location is great in general. Friendly and fast. I tried the new Croque Monsieur Croissant Toast but I was not a fan. I didn't hate it but I can't imagine that I would ever order it again.

I don’t normally complain on reviews but I wanted my ham :( I did switch the provolone cheese for Parmesan but I didn’t get any ham and barely any cheese, mostly just spread. I did a pick up order and I drove off with it before I noticed. I did still eat most of it because I was hungry but it’s pretty annoying to pay $10 for two pieces of bread wirh sauce.

The food is amazingly good The service sucks. They want you to use kiosks and order yourself instead of a human actually taking your order. For a place so expensive people deserve better than that. Please do better, especially for the elderly and handicapped population.

I love panera, but I want to let yall know so it can be fixed. The soda machine tastes like mold. I ordered water but I could not get past the taste, so then I tried the brisk raspberry tea and it still tastes like mold. I have to take my food somewhere else and eat so I can get something to drink..

Ok so, I did an online order for pickup. There's a drive thru so, I thought it would be quicker to obtain my order. First of all, my sandwich had cheese on it. I didn't order it with cheese. It was also a "kiddie" size sandwich. It was not a regular slice of bread as you would make at home and then slice it in half. They did get the amt of onions correct for me. Now, let's move on the the salad. OMG!!! Very little chicken in this salad. And, the romaine lettuce was so wilted, I couldn't catch it with the fork they game me. They also gave me some salad dressing that tasted old! Very old!!! I hope after they see this, they will make an effort to sell crisp vegetables!!!! And please don't think ur getting an adult salad. it's small too! This was my first time at this location. I was very disappointed!!!

**Title: Disappointing Breakfast Experience** I recently visited McDonald's for breakfast and had a rather disappointing experience. The main issue was with the quality of the food and the service. The bacon on my sandwich was as soft as a noodle, lacking any crispiness or texture that you'd expect from a breakfast item. It felt like it was barely cooked, making the sandwich quite unappetizing. To make matters worse, the bagel sandwich was just thrown into the bag haphazardly. When we opened it, we discovered that it was disassembled, and we had to put it together ourselves. This was frustrating and inconvenient, especially when you're expecting a quick and easy meal from a fast-food chain. Additionally, the staff seemed to have no idea how to use the table plaques to bring out food. We waited at our table for a long time, only to find out that our order had been sitting at the counter. The lack of organization and communication among the staff was evident, and it contributed to the overall negative experience. It was clear that the staff was extremely lazy and unmotivated that day. The entire visit left much to be desired, and it was not the level of service I have come to expect from McDonald's. I hope they can address these issues and improve their service in the future.

Worst customer service in the drive through today ! When I placed my order I ordered two frappes with additional meals . I had no problem with the young man who took my payment at the first window but as I went to the second window the customer service with them was horrible. I got my drinks handed to me and I informed the young man at the window that I was missing a frappe. He said I was not charged for two frappes at the first window , I was like okay and got my card out and told him to go ahead and charge me then because I asked for two . He said no I needed to go around back to the drive through and order it because he didn’t have a register . I told him I was not going to go to the back of line and wait in the long line again . I asked if he can go to the back register or to the front counter just to ring me up and he said no . Then another young lady came and she very rude so I asked to speak to a manager . The manager did not come to window instead the young lady came back and said she will ring me up and took my card and told me to go park and she would bring it out to me . I said okay but I will wait for her to ring me up and give me my card first before I go and park . I couldn’t believe that she rolled her eyes at me . At this point I was really upset and demanded for the manager to come to the window . When the manager finally came to the window I told him what happened but honestly I don’t think he cared . I mentioned that from all the McDonald’s in the area this was the one with poor customer service . I will never go back i would rather drive all the way to Hewitt .

Worst McDonald's ever. Dr pepper was gross. They gave us 2 happy meals without fries and then only gave us 1 thing of fries. Our fries were only halfway full. There were kids running around the restaurant playing tag/hide and seek. Had to get my own kids out of the mini play area because a big kid was out of control. Won't be going back.

Have been here 3 times for breakfast and it's always hot, fresh and handled properly, the lady in the cash register makes sure to greet people every time someone walks in, of course people are rude and won't answer back. But it's the customers service that she's willing to provide what really counts. Everything is really clean and the lady that was in charge of the cleaning that morning was even cleaning the feet rest of the chairs, that's how you can tell when people are cleaning like is supposed to. Ladies you're doing an amazing job! It's worth the visit definitely. Give them a raise! They deserve it! 10 stars!

They'd get -5 stars if I could. I don't eat here, but I do DD and this place is terrible. Night manager/supervisor is currently eating fries that she's putting in a customers bag. Place is almost always dirty, employees are loud and disrespectful and it's all around not a place I'd EVER recommend eating at

What happened to the HOSPITALITY?? No one greet you or smile anymore they act like you have to come here but when you a paying customer you get to choose!! It’s sad how customer service just doesn’t exist anymore I’ll drive 5 miles to Baylor McDonald’s before I come here again MANAGEMENT IS THE WORSE you have to lead by example

No one acknowledged me at the counter. Hate kiosk but attempted it wouldn't accept my pmt through the app. Canceled order and lost my code. Ordered through drive through had to wait for fries but didn't get creamer in coffee so asked the young woman to get us 5 cream. Older woman at window came out with an attitude that we said we did get our coffee which is not what we said. 2nd and last time we will stop here as we have had issues both times.
