“Finally found the time to drive out to try this restaurant and we are so happy we did. Wonderful place, and wonderful folks running it. It’s a little pricey, but that’s because grow all the food that they serve from my understanding. Let me tell you, the food is wonderful.

“Add Segovia to your list of places to eat/drink in Waco!! The venue is darling, service is top notch (thank you to Courtney), and the wine and tapas are perfection. I can’t wait to go back for Saturday jazz music. Segovia is a hidden gem that exceeded our expectations at every turn! Thank you so much Courtney for what you and your husband have created in Waco.”

“Fantastic burgers and customer service. A+”

“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.”

“Every experience I've had at Poppa Bear Boba has been fantastic! The owner is just amazing, and on top of that, both the drinks and the food are great! Forgive my spelling, but the sandwiches are phenomenal, and you can't go wrong with a Tai tea. .y wife prefers sweet stuff, and had the coconut cream milk (might be the wrong name, but you'll see it), and it was delicious...though a bit sweet for my palate!

I highly recommend them, and hope you'll give them a try! I've heard the Pho is great, and the weekly specials just seem delicious! I'll definitely be going back!”

“We were in on Christmas Eve. Short handed crew, crowded with customers. Alexis and (Butter)John along with the duty manager took care of us like we were the only people there! The kitchen did an excellent job on the steaks and the vegetables were perfect. Baked potato was as usual, ready to eat with plenty of butter, and hot. Got spoiled by these guys! Happy for sure.”

“Have you ever been walking down the street and see a place that looks interesting? This evening my wife and I saw the doors and stepped in. No we didn’t have a reservation and beyond excited to see they had a single open table. I make it a habit to ask the waiter what they recommend and let them plan my meal. Coby led the journey this evening full of excellent choices. I highly recommend this place for a very romantic dinner of conversation with amazing food and even better staff. We will be back!”

“We had the Chef’s Table for our engagement dinner and it was wonderful and well worth it!! Felt like we were at a classy and romantic spot in a big city but it was in Waco!! Thanks to Graham and the whole staff for the hospitality and great service. Would come back again for a special occasion!”

“Amir is awesome and the food is great!”

“Top notch steakhouse with great service. We had our Valentines dinner that included pork medallions for appetizer, perfectly cooked steak with Brussels sprouts and pecans. Delicious desserts such as chocolate cake and cheesecake with a scrumptious raspberry sauce.”

“Great place to eat. Food was good and came out fast. They made sure we had everything we needed and very friendly. Highly recommend”

“This is definitely my place to hang out. They have great bartenders. Alex is one of the best. He is always smiling, very talkative, and makes great drinks. Come have a drink with him. Ask him for a recommendation.”

“First off the customer service is unbelievably great. We have an ADA wheelchair family member and it was completely accessible. They made space for us with no complaints. Treated us great, made our experience wonderful server, food, hostess. The prices and menu are great variety. Can’t recommend it enough.”

“We ordered the Alaskan Wild Caught Salmon and the Contadino Pizza. The salmon was cooked per fectly and the pizza was amazing! Don't forget to treat yourself to one of their beautiful desserts. We recommend the Torta aAl Cioccolato which was out of this world!”

“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!”

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

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

“the food is great. but the place needs to be cleaned up.”

“This hotel and bar is the best. The service is beyond reproach. The bartender and all the staff are superperb. I'm hard to please and I was sceptical to visit and stay in Waco, but this property surpassed expectations. Alex and Kenny B. were so friendly and engaging. Will definitely return to this hotel. I felt like I was on a mini vacation. This experience far surpassed expectations. The room is clean and the property overall is immaculate.”

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

“Definitely had a blast here, the food was fantastic and you couldn’t ask for better service.”

“Awesome waitress. Membership benefits are amazing. We go to BJ’s several times a month.”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“🙂Excellent Door Dash option for our little upstate NY town!”

“Very slow service considering the lack of traffic in there. Good breakfast taco but I asked for sausage, egg and potato. There may have been a 1/2 teaspoon of sausage in it, if any. Inexpensive. Fresh.”

“I love the food here, but they took away my Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits...🤬”

“Was a little busy when I came in but the employees were all nice and knocked the line down. I had forgotten to add some cookies to my online order but the employee did not mind ringing them up for me quickly. Will definitely be coming back again! So far one of the best subways I've been to!!!”

“We had a group of 8 the place was not completely full but it took forever to get a table we even had to go back and ask and then we were seated. The server was great and helpful we love asking for opinions and suggestions and he was great.”

“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 :)”

“The whataburger I got to is always great

Parking: I go in there so often that they know me by name whenever I walk in I don't even have to tell him it's an order for me they already know”

“It’s great to have this as an option for late-night cravings. The food was hot and tasty even at 1 a.m. There were a couple of homeless individuals using the parking lot as their home for the night, but they kept to themselves and didn’t display any disruptive behavior.”

“The first time, although it was late at night, was a success, I loved the food and my order ready in a short time, but the second time they had nothing I wanted to order and that was earlier than that first time.”

“we always stop here on our way home from Austin. they were short staffed and took awhile to get our food but the staff is always sooo friendly. skip the Door Dash and go visit!”

“Had the pleasure of being waited by Ethan C today. In translating the menu, handling the front by himself and getting change twice he was very pleasant and professional. Our frustration came when you could see help was needed and two managers where conducting an interview. In my opinion one could have helped with the line, went to get change or ran orders instead.”

“One of thee sweetest places we happened upon in Waco. Blake and their entire staff was amazing! We will be back for sure! After a long day this place is a blessing!”

“Came all the way from California to visit friends in Texas. I love me some BBQ so they took us to Papa Jacks. The food was outstanding best BBQ I ever had. The Brisket and pulled pork was the best. Family run and it was like going to a family reunion. They treat you like family.”

“Visited Cultura Mia Mexican Cuisine for Mother's Day Brunch, food taste and presentation was very good, they do have the best chilaquiles, we tried the green and chipotle, also tried the pork chop and eggs, huevos rancheros, and chile relleno were also very good. Not fond of having to pay for hot sauce and chips, but the sauce is tasty. Place is clean and service is very good. Got to meet the chef/owner and we complimented him on the wonderful food taste. Will have to go back and try their other dishes for lunch and dinner. Totally recommend visiting this authentic Mexican restaurant, not your regular tex-mex food.”

“Best beef ribs in Texas! Don't forget to get the beans.”

“This place is delicious!! I got the Brisket Bowl and it was absolutely amazing! Brisket, sausage, beans, Fritos, and cheese…a perfect combination. The homemade ranch and banana pudding were to die for!! The stuff was super friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The close when the food runs out so better go for lunch or an early dinner, it’s worth it.”

“Delicious food! Love the salsa! We will be back soon!”

“The food overall was fresh and tasted pretty good. Surf and turf burrito was quite the mix of ingredients but it worked well. Portions were fair for the price. Only disappointment was the red sauce, I'd probably give that a 3/10 way too much tomato flavor not enough chile cilantro etc. Verde sauce was pretty good though, easy 7.5 or 8/10. I'd smother a lot of stuff in that green sauce.

There's enough variety that you may want to experiment with the menu until you find a favorite dish. I would happily order here again, but I'm not going out of my way just to get some if that makes sense. I'll give it a solid 7/10 with room to grow, which is quite good for a new place.”

“best burgers in town hands down”

“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”

“great customer service..”

“We absolutely loved this spot! The workers were so kind and oh my goodness the coffee is WONDERFUL. Stunning coffee shop! Would recommend and will definitely be returning in the future :)”

“waitress was very friendly she was only waitress and still attended all the tables her name was Deborah will be going back”

“so fresh burgers,so much to choose from and cheaper then other burger spots”

“By far the best genuine Cajun seafood place in Waco and beyond. Great hospitality and great food. We felt so welcomed! There is no doubt that we will visit often. Definitely a hidden gem right here in Waco.”

“I had lunch with daughter and granddaughter. It was my second time eating at your establishment. Everything was wonderful. So pleased with the fresh, delicious food. The waitress was so nice and efficient. I'll be back again, and again!”

“This is an amazing hidden gem!!!!💎 10/10”

“Great food definitely worth visiting”

“If you like strong coffee without a bitter or burnt after taste this is the place for you. That don't play when is comes to their coffee. Strong but smooth. Excellent customer service.”

“Beautiful ambience and amazing cinnamon Rolls! We ordered the Raspberry Chocolate Scones and they were divine!”

“What a wonderful surprise! Don’t let the neighborhood keep you away. I had the gyro plate and the meat was so tender I cut it with my plastic fork…like butter. It was delicious. The hummus was great as well as the chicken kabob. I especially loved that it is family owned and run. A very special place. We will be back.”

“After the first bite I just knew this was going to be a fantastic meal. Literally the best chicken I’ve had, fried to absolute perfection all the way around!”

“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!”

“Stopped by while traveling through town and enjoyed the BEST cappuccino I've ever had! Seriously wish they were closer to home because I'd definitely be a regular!”

“GREAT food. I love this place.”

“Two of us ate here on Feb. 19th after I'd had a medical procedure done. It was really windy and cold that day. Parking is in the back. We were greeted as soon as we entered and told to pick our own table. It's a small place and there was a gas heater going which made it even more cozy. The food was great and the two ladies were so sweet and attentive. We've told multiple people about Kitok and will 100% be going back when we're in the area. We found it sort of by accident, but that was a great accident. Everything we had was great, try it all!

Parking: Parking is in the back.”

“We stopped for ice cream after supper and it was amazing. The coffee and cookie crumble was amazing. I loved the homemade waffle cones.”

“found this place on a road trip from Dallas to Austin, absolutely in LOVE. Chi-chi and the gang, they made it feel like we were eating at an old friend's house. So welcoming and accommodating of my pups and baby! The food was fresh and made to order, not to mention everything tasted amazing. Definitely will be returning soon! Thanks chi!”

“Haven’t had In-N-Out Burger in 10 years and it was just as good as I remember! Yummy!”

“I very much enjoyed the ramen and Takoyaki app. My server was very friendly and checked on me often. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”

“Love the food, and the service was great!”

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

“Got the $15 super pupusa, and boy did it not disappoint!!! It was delicious, had excellent flavor, and it wes big!! Filled up a standard plate to-go box. If you need bigger than that, they got what you need!! Hole in the wall with excellent flavors. You may have to wait a little bit because there is only 1 person working, but I promise it will be worth it!! I saw them on Facebook months back, and just happened to remember before I left Waco to return to Houston...”

“Great Service ... Fantastic Bakery, Recommendable.”

“Delicious food and phenomenal service! I had the carne asada tacos. The meat is delicious and so flavorful. They have so many salsas to choose from. I love how everything is so fresh and made by them. That’s not easy to find. Their service is also worth noting. Everyone working there is so friendly! 10/10 food and service.”

“Great Drinks. Even better People!”

“Our first visit to King Noodle, was quite a surprise. Don't expect your typical Asian Restaurant here, it's more like a Ramen/Pho' Dining experience. Our food was fabulous, extremely fresh and flavorful. We will definitely visit again, anytime we have traveled to Waco.”

“My husband and I are foodies and always on the look out for something new. This place did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and full of flavor. Great farm to table eating.”

“Cute coffee shop that’s on campus. However, $7 for a small vanilla iced latte on a college campus is a bit steep…this coffee shop has been on campus for many years and has a unique characteristic to it but definitely was not expecting the price to go up to $7 for a small…

Having prices on the menu in the drive thru would be helpful too…the only prices available on the menu were their food items…their breakfast sando being like $6.50, lower cost than my coffee…”

“We were in on Christmas Eve. Short handed crew, crowded with customers. Alexis and (Butter)John along with the duty manager took care of us like we were the only people there!

“Drove from Keller picked up my Bestie and her mom from Dallas and drove all the way to Waco just to eat these delicious churros and they are the most delicious desserts I have ever had, very well made and the people are very sweet, would definitely recommend and worth the drive.”

“AMAZING!!!!……and beyond! Second visit as great or better than the first! Not only is the Pozole Verde & Tortas delicious the pride taken in his preparation is indescribable.”

“This location has the freshest food. Staff is always friendly and courteous. They happily fill special orders too! The grilled chicken power bowl ordered without beans and rice is so delicious and Keto friendly. Thanks Taco Bell!”

“First time to eat here and what a wonderful experience! Owned by an Italian family and food is very authentic. The waitress was wonderful and very attentive and the food delicious! The bread was wonderful, not bread sticks, but baked to perfection brushed with garlic oil and parmesan sprinkled on top. I had the salad with chicken and the portions were plentiful, the salad fresh and crispy and the chicken was seasoned. So tasty and so very happy to find this great restaurant. Highly recommend.”

“Haven’t had In-N-Out Burger in 10 years and it was just as good as I remember! Yummy!”

“I really hate that I liked this place so much, but it’s good chicken. I heard the story on a podcast and happened to drive by one, so we stopped in. The sliders are the size of a regular chicken sandwich, the tenders are the size of a breast fillet and the flavor slaps. Chicken was moist and crispy with the prefect spice level. (I got the second to hottest) Spice was perfectly spicy, my kids got the medium which was still tasty. The pickles are perfectly crispy/sour as they compliment the chicken bite!! Fries are dusted with some of the spice powder and every bite was crispy with flavor. The slaw was a classic slaw, just your ordinary slaw; slap it in a sandwich and the perfect compliment!!! 9/10 would recommend! Try it on for size if you like fried chicken tenders all ways! I would love some bone in chicken but this was good!”
