“1 - Excellent food…fried pickles appetizer gone in 60 seconds; burgers were awesome; tater tots add beyond yummy…and stay crispy enough for next day breakfast ( because they give you a portion that you WILL have another meal) 2 - Speedy, friendly customer service…very attentive staff….we tipped well over the standard 20% because it was so good! 3 - beautiful, lively atmosphere…air coolers for outdoor eating, which we chose despite the heat/humidity Most importantly, I was an out of tower and this was my last meal with local family before flying out the next morning. Dumb a** me left my wallet at the restaurant and didn’t realize until getting ready to leave for the airport at 0830. We stopped by the restaurant to see if it was still in the outdoor eating area…nope. Luckily, ran into the contractor doing some work…he called the owner, the owner confirmed it was in the office safe. After hearing I needed to make the AM flight to DFW for connection to home, he dispatched an employee to go in on a planned closed day to get my wallet. This kindness allowed me to make my flight…what he didn’t know is this act of kindness was critical because I had a new job in-person interview scheduled for the next day. Forever grateful. THAT is customer service. Thank you so much! Tells a lot about the culture and dedication to customers. Keep up the awesome work…I will be back. Promise to keep better accountability of my wallet!“

“The food was excellent, and our waitress Kayla was outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.“

“Goodness gracious what a great surprise this was. The green beans are OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS. Whole experience was a 10/10 and wish I lived here so I could come back for a quart of those green beans every week lol

The grilled crab cake had a good flavor but not hot (temperature wise) enough for my liking. I would try the fried instead if that’s your thing. The potato bowl with etouffe with fried shrimp was so good and seasoned.

Truly had a great dinner and couldn’t recommend enough!“

“they have really good food and great staff and friendly and omg they lemon coffee its amazing try it!!!!“

“Delicious cheese burgers with spicy Cajun fries. Old school burger very good!“

“Croissants were amazing, spinach dip was very good! Chicken fried chicken dinner, mashed potatoes and broccoli was not very good. Server kept forgetting about us but other than that she was amazing lol. Restaurant was super clean, no waiting on a table.“

“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“

“Want to thank the General Manager, Margaret Burch, for tracking me down to return a birthday card which included a check accidentally left there by a family member. I appreciated her going that extra mile to do the right thing. We have been to The Brown House Cafe several times over the summer and really enjoy the great service and excellent food. It’s worth the drive from Gatesville for some good home cooking. Thanks, Margaret!“

“Oakley’s is one of my favorite spots in Waco. Great food, cold drinks, and a vibe that’s perfect after a long day. The wings and hog balls are a must-try. Staff is always friendly and the dance floor is a nice bonus. Whether it’s brunch, late night, or just drinks with friends — Oakley’s never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“🙃I was there with friends today 9/1 and wasn't expecting much. This was my first time at TOPGOLF. Our group was in the table area with the jenga games. A server came greeted us and took out drink orders. Then a little later she came to take our food orders. What impressed me was to took out order without using a paper pad or electronic pad. When the food came it was very delicious and tasty. Our server impressed me more than she realizes when she came to ask if we needed anything else multiple times. I wish I remembered her name to I could call her out by name - but I can't remember her name. If I could let her know how much I appreciate her friendliness and courtesy by name I would - hopefully she knows that and I thank her.“

“Okay, Ive been going to this Logans for years. Growing up this has been my favorite resturant. But today made it all better. Chase was so funny and attentive to our table. He deserves literally everything. My mom, sister, and I had the biggest laughs of our lives tonight. Thank you, Logans. And thank you so much, Chase!“

“THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS AND ITS FAST SERVICE“

“Rayna was our server and did amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped me make a decision based on what I wanted and needed. Perfect was very helpful and checked up on us to make sure everything came out okay and even ran a last minute order change to Rayna.“

“We celebrated my husband’s 75th birthday here today. The service was good, the atmosphere relaxed and friendly and the food was very good. It was not crowded and we did not feel rushed. Would definitely recommend and eat there again.“
