50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Hewitt

“The food is phenomenal. I swore of Vietnamese food years ago because I’d had some that wasn’t very good. They changed my mind completely will definitely come back!“

“**Updated 3/25/26 to 5 stars.**

It is a self-service, casual dining restaurant. You go through a line to order, and you go to the counter to pick up your tray of food when it is ready. Not bad, but just not very special. However... Their Taco Tuesday is a fantastic deal, and I go every chance I get. Sometimes for lunch, and sometimes for dinner. They make their own tortillas, and I love them. They have butter and honey to spread on a fresh, hot tortilla, and I love that, too! Best of all, they have a pico/salsa bar where you can get all of the pico, jalapenos (pickled or fresh), salsa (mild, medium, and hot), cilantro, limes, etc. that you care to put on your tacos/food. I live for Tuesdays!“

“Wow Ms. Robin runs a tight shift she’s so sweet and leads her staff with grace. Hunter recommended the ghost pepper sandwich, with fried pickles. The crew was extremely friendly and my food was came fresh. This location truly cares about their customers. I’m so happy there’s a better option for my family Popeyes needs we will be back as I can’t go to any other locations in the area.“

“Great food and wonderful service! The waitress wad cheerful and informative! (our first time there) The only suggestion I have is that the chairs were very uncomfortable.It wasn't just our table of seven. I saw other customers struggling. just a consideration to think about. I give the a 4.9“

“First time visiting Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, and it truly warmed our hearts. The owner took a moment to share the story behind the shop, and you can feel the love and purpose immediately. The mission to employ adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities is beautiful, and the team is incredibly kind and welcoming. More than coffee it’s community.“

“Awesome but prices are a little bit to much but the cookies are awesome if you live sweets and they come out with new flavors every week which is awesome would have giving men five stars if the had lower prices but I guess it’s fair because the cookies are pretty big“

“Excellent food and everyone is so nice ! Definitely will be back!! Will be telling friends,and family to visit!“

“best burgers in town hands down“

“A friend and I went on Saturday evening and had a great time! I got a flight of red wine and she did white wine. All from Spain or Portugal and very good. We shared some tapas that were delicious! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the wine and food! It’s in a very good location downtown close to the Silos and Dr. Pepper museum. We had no trouble finding parking. We will be back for another girls night!“

“Some of the best BBQ I have ever had!!“

“Best pie in town!!! The Lemon pie is my favorite!“

“Max was our server tonight and he was excellent! It was super busy and sooo loud for some reason, but he was patient, kind, and got everything out perfectly! Austin was also very helpful! Great food and service all around!“

“Just happened to be traveling through Waco and decided to stop for some food and a drink; happened upon Barnett’s Whiskey House and I’m glad we did. The food was most excellent, the atmosphere was good and the service was top notch! Looking forward to hearing the live music later this evening. Will definitely stop in anytime I come through or near Waco.“

“One of the coolest spots in downtown Waco; Friendly knowledgeable bartenders, lots of custom ales from dark to hoppy to fruity- locally brewed. If you like beer, this is the place! They have fun activities like Music Bingo, Trivia, Live Music and more! Check out Waco Ale Co!“

“Love YAKI! Dedicated gluten free, nut free and dairy free! Kids love it (picky ones love Just Nugs and Fries!) Great for brunch, lunch, supper, dinner, anytime, for one or more people!“

“The pimento cheese bacon quiche was amazing! The pastries are wonderful too. Definitely recommend 💯“

“Hands down, best latte I’ve had in my lifetime💕“

“LOS HUARACHES Y LOS TACOS“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Tejan Cajun!

From the moment you walk in, you can tell Tejan Cajun is something special. The atmosphere is welcoming and full of character, and the smell alone lets you know you’re about to have an unforgettable meal. This place perfectly blends bold Cajun flavors with a Texas twist, and they absolutely nail it.

The food is next-level. Every bite is packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and clearly made with care and experience. You can taste the freshness and the seasoning balance is spot on—not overpowering, just rich, bold, and satisfying. Whether you’re a Cajun food lover or trying it for the first time, Tejan Cajun delivers across the board.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to have you there. They’re knowledgeable about the menu, happy to make recommendations, and make sure everything is just right without ever feeling rushed. You leave feeling taken care of, not just fed.

Portion sizes are generous, the quality is outstanding, and the value for what you get is excellent. This is the kind of place you immediately want to bring friends and family back to—and then keep coming back yourself.

Tejan Cajun has officially earned a spot on my go-to list. If you’re anywhere near and craving amazing Cajun-inspired food with top-tier service, do yourself a favor and stop by. Five stars all day, no question about it.“

“We stopped by Club Sandwich at the Silos, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The staff was so friendly and welcoming — they even offered us a sample of the chicken, and wow, it was so flavorful it had us hooked at the first bite!

I ordered the chicken bulgogi, and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly seasoned and served on a bed of shredded cabbage with the freshest, crisp vegetables. And let’s not forget about the sriracha ranch — the perfect kick to tie it all together!“

“Great food and great beverages great atmosphere as awhole“

“We had the best time today celebrating our bride to be! Kennedy and Sam took care of us like they had known us for years! We had over 30 in attendance and never had to wait for anything! With this many women making choices and adding items, it was a truly great experience! Thank you for the hospitality, the wonderful drinks, the incredible food, and the friendliness! Thank you again!!❤️“

“Moroso was an incredible experience! Visiting from the East Coast—and knowing how many great Italian restaurants we have out there—I was pleasantly surprised by just how amazing the service, food, and atmosphere were. We were greeted by the gracious owner, Dan, who welcomed us with open arms, and his staff was just as warm and attentive. What a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely to die for. This is an outstanding restaurant, and I wish them nothing but continued success. “Amazing” is truly an understatement. Thank you, Dan, and a huge thank-you to your entire team!“

“Hands down the best tacos in Waco, Texas!“

“Always great food, priced right, quick service, friendly staff. 10/10 I do recommend.“

“Great food and even better service. One of our favorite places to visit when we are in town. Thank you!“

“This is such a wonderful place. The owner Makenzie is such a wonderful person. The cookies are amazing, come and check this place out.“

“From steaks to sushi, the Butcher's Cellar offers fine dining to suit every pallet. I tried the crispy rice tuna and was blown away by the perfectly spiced rich flavor. You have to order 1,000-Layer Potatoes, you won't regret it. (Someone please tell me how they do that!)“

“visited today for the first time. our bartender was Dorian. he was so sweet to our kids and his service was so good! will be back“

“Highly recommend I love my Dutch bros crew“

“Ambiance: Trendy brewery with a huge outdoor seating area perfect for bringing your dog, kids, and family/friends. Good weekend spot given that they have events, music, and games.

I enjoyed their IPA options. My friend group and I liked sitting outside together at a long table and trying their beers.

Street parking available. Clean bathrooms. It did seem the indoor area might get hot in the summer so I felt this is more of an outdoor venue.“

“10/10 can’t recommend this place enough! The atmosphere, food, and Viteks crew are fantastic. It’s one of our favorite places in Waco to eat at!“

“We enjoyed our time here! Great food and service for our 22nd anniversary! We will definitely be back!“

“Everything was perfect. Jordan was incredible. He made us feel as though we were top priority. His recommendations were spot on. The calamari was cooked perfectly. The salads were fresh and delicious. The portions and the pace at which the food arrived were perfect. The steak was the most decadent juicy flavorful medium rare. The scallop was the most perfect scallop I've ever eaten. The sautéed veggies were crisp and flavorful. But that bread pudding almost made me cry. it's the best I've ever had. From the moment we walked in until the moment we walked out, the experience was truly incredible. The next time we're in Waco, we will definitely be back, but we will have to call ahead and make sure that Jordan is working so we can have the same elite service that we experienced today.“

“My great aunt in Ca eagerly looks forward to the special fruitcakes from the bakery. Her favorite so far had been the apple pecan! Great moist fruitcakes! Quality!“

“Maybe not the absolute best bbq in Texas, but consistently very good and keeps me a loyal customer. Price-wise, bbq has gotten very pricey, with many places charging $12-15 and higher, for a brisket sandwich, so Rudy's remains on the affordable side. If you have a choice, between the big tourist trap gas station and Rudy's, bypass the beaver and keep going for BBQ that actually tastes good.“

“Love everything about it!!“

“Thanks for coming to Marlin tonight. I called in my order, had great service. The cheeseburger and Ozzy burger were superb, definitely ordering again! 5 stars“

“Best BBQ and Amazing Smoked Turkey as Well as the Savory Fried turkey 🦃.. 10 out o 10 would recommend. Blessings to these wonderful cooks and the service is amazing!!“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service. I will definitely be returning for the Wagyu Steak Enchiladas (Iron Table Steak Enchiladas).“

“Excellent! Neat, clean, clean restrooms, fantastic friendly service! I had 3-fish tacos. Very fresh Pico de gallo toping with creamy Chipotle sauce, served with fresh lime! A completely pleasurable experience!“

“Excellent Thai food. Very authentic and very tasty! It is spicy, so order mild if you don't care for spice.“

“Bru Artisan Coffee Works has a wonderful atmosphere and truly outstanding service. The staff were phenomenal, and we loved the openness and feel of the new location — it’s a welcoming, thoughtfully designed space.

The coffee wasn’t quite to my personal taste this visit, but that’s likely just preference and not a reflection of quality. I really appreciate that they roast their own coffee, and I’d absolutely recommend trying them out. I would definitely give them another visit.“

“It was good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Highly recommend I love my Dutch bros crew“

“Homemade pita bread!! Delicious tasting Gyros!! Awesome desserts! Need to open a restaurant in Broken Arrow, OK!!“

“Highly recommend I love my Dutch bros crew“

“Amazing menu, romantic setting, fantastic service. 10/10 recommend!“

“Really enjoy going here because they are DOG FRIENDLY (Hi Kevin). Consistent with rotating beers. Thursdays they feature a brewery and may give out items (glasses, stickers, etc.). Decent patio with hugh tables. Everyone has always been welcoming from the bartenders to the patrons.“

“Absolutely delicious and fresh ingredients. So many options for add ins and toppings. I ordered the Ohana bowl for a post work out lunch and it was so refreshing!“
