“Great experience, Excellent Barbecue. Super friendly people.“

“Decided to take a drive to get out of the house and came upon this establishment.A great family business that has exceptional food , service and most importantly a genuine friendliness !Had BBQ brisket and a chicken thigh that was full of smoke flavor as well as great seasoning and very tender. If you add sauce to the meat you will be cheating your taste buds out of a wonderful experience. The sides of choice for me were coleslaw and beans which were very flavorful. I intended not to have a dessert, but when I seen banana pudding I could not resist. It was creamy with the right amount of sweetness that was not over sweet.“

“Melt in your mouth brisket and flavorful sides. All homemade by some very nice people.“

“The ribs and chopped beef were so good! Like the potato salad and beans too!“

“I stopped by yesterday since it was on my way home from College Station, and I definitely will again! The mac was made quickly and tasted amazing, as did the cheesecake. I warn you though, they aren’t joking about the cheese moving through your intestinal tract like a runaway freight train. I eat dairy with every meal and after a hour on the road even I had to start speeding up to 15-20 over the limit to find a rest stop. Unfortunately a police car found me first. I feel deep regret for the officer that allowed me to poo on the side of the highway. TL;DR: Food was great but made me poo on a cop.“

“The best brisket & ribs I've ever had. In town for a short time and ate there twice. Cole slaw and baked beans were excellent. Old rustic building but owner friendly and great character that added to the atmosphere. Highly recommend. Don't be put off by the neighborhood.“

“I was just there with my group of 20kids , and I got to say the brisket frito pie was amazing. The pecan pie is soooo sweet you can tell it’s homemade I,would recommend coming here you won’t be disappointed.“

“I've been eating here for idk how long. Always satisfied. JR is the OG PITBOSS. I purchase his rubs and bbq myself. He's always helping me develop my bbq skills. Enjoy delicious food every time I go and enjoy the friendship even more. You won't be disappointed.“

“Love this place! Food is always AWESOME!!!! So excited to eat on the new patio!Highly Recommended!!!“

“Let me tell you about this smoked prime rib—it should come with a warning and possibly a police escort. First off, it’s so tender that the meat barely hits your tongue before it melts away, leaving you questioning every life decision that led you here. The flavor? It’s so good, I’m convinced it’s illegal. Honestly, I would square up against a grizzly bear for a seat at the table. And the bear would lose, because nothing is coming between me and that smoked prime rib.

This isn’t just food—it’s a borderline religious experience. It has Christians questioning their morals, and I’ve seen atheists pull out a cross mid-bite. Eating here is a game changer, a life-altering moment. That prime rib could bring world peace, cure Monday blues, and probably balance your checkbook. I’m still processing the aftermath.“

“Hamburger steak Mac and cheese candy yams straight fire. you have to try some haliburtons soul food“

“Delicious food and amazing customer service service.“

“Felt like Home away from home for this Kailua girl. Wonderful Hawaiian food here. We enjoyed the Katsu Chicken and Kalua Pork with Cabbage and of course the Musubi Trio. Friendly service and delicious food.“

“These folks know how to do Q. They came to PCCPA to cater to our lunch. They served BBQ stuffed baked potatoes with everything except the kitchen sink. It was better than anything in Waco. I also want to thank Katie, who made it all possible.“

“the taste of the meat was excellent“

“Went there for the first time on Wednesday July 3rd thought it would e good idea to pick up and eat at the airport. Well the napkins were in the box with the wings so they were all greasy and the Waco airport doesn't have paper towels. I did ask for a couple of napkins before I left the restaurant so I had 2 in my purse. My husband enjoyed the wings and the fries were great . Will sip on our return home. Only suggestion don't put the napkins in with the food. Muck prosperity to you all.“

“Some of the best bbq I have had in years. Definitely made our Christmas dinner a great experience ?“

“We had the wonderful opportunity to eat at McDowell’s today. Our meal was perfect. We both had catfish and all the trimmings. I strongly recommend you go! Mr Mac is wonderful. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Just went back today after our previous bad experience. It was great. Ribeye tender and juicy. Owner definitely takes care of his customers if aren’t happy with your experience. We’d definitely recommend it“

“3 of us rode down today from the DFW area to find that they lived up to their reputation. Great BBQ with just the right amount of marbling, service was prompt, cheerful and attentive. Then they set us up on a private pistol plinking range behind some giant tires. The Marton family that runs it is very friendly and lives the story of the American dream. What a great day!!!“

“The DogHouse Sports bar lived up to its excellent reputation as being the “Cheer’s Bar” of Waco. Super friendly and welcoming people.“
