“My brother has been telling me how great this place is for ages and we finally got to check it out a couple of months ago. It was so fun to be able to try lots of different cuisines and enjoy it all in one pleasant atmosphere. At my brothers recommendation, I went with the Panang Curry from Curry Up and Walk This Way. I wanted the tofu, but sadly they were out so I did the shrimp which was cooked well. The flavor of the curry was rich and nicely balanced. On our way out I grabbed a tea to go from Zukes which was good but a tad sweet for me. If you're like me you might want to request less sweetness or no sweetness and adjust yourself. They have special tea flavors of the day as well. The ambiance was trendy and relaxed and there were all sorts of different seating to choose from which was perfect for us with our party of toddlers and grandparents to accommodate.“

“Came in with my bestie and SIX kids all under 10 years old. Everyone was very kind and accommodating despite the fact our rugrats were bouncing off the walls. Very affordable (seriously, 5.99 for a kids meal that come in a little car?! Love it!) I will definitely stop again next time I’m in Waco! “

“In my opinion, great Cajun food. Small shop with a neat ambiance. You order at a slide window when I went. The owner came out and talked for a while with us. I thought that was super cool. Super chill and gave off good vibes. I hope you have the same experience when you visit.“

“We were passing through Waco and stopped to try Big Ward's.This place serves very, very good BBQ. The pork and brisket are both excellent. The sides were are all delicious. The sauce is spot on - some sweet, some tang. We ended with Banana pudding and we loved it. The prices are very fair. This is everything you need in a BBQ spot. I wish there was a Big Ward's location in Atlanta, GA!“

“The lady who helped us was outstanding! She gave my son some suggestions on what type of wings flavors he should try, and he loved them. She even kept coming to check on him to see if he enjoyed them. My chicken sandwich was good, and my daughter enjoyed her chicken strips. The only issue we had was that all of fries were cold, like they were cooked and sitting out too long then thrown on our plates.“

“This review is for Momma Kay.She was wonderful. Very attentive. Loved her personality. Made my boyfriend and I feel very well taken care of. We really liked her. Didn’t have to ask her for much. So pleasant to speak with. Made our day better. Got us smiling. We had a long drive back home.Food was good.I personally don’t like crowded places which is why the atmosphere is 3. But I can’t control rush hour. This place has the best pancakes. In my own opinion.“
