“I can't believe I've lived in Waco most of my life and never eaten here. The food was delicious, the staff super friendly, and the establishment clean and inviting. I tried the Waco Tornado which was wonderful and more than enough food. I'll definitely be going back soon!! You won't be disappointed. Just keep in mind they close early so plan accordingly. 11/07/2026 Made my way back to Waco 6 years later and this place was definitely on my list. The food was just as delicious as I remembered A true Waco treasure!”

“Wow. It was so good! I have seen Roni's Facebook videos so much and have ALWAYS wanted to try it. I stayed in Albuquerque last night and was perusing through GH and lo and behold...RONI'S showed up! I went relatively basic; Cheddar n Gouda (extra), Brisket, Mushrooms. I almost got breadcrumbs but didn't pull the trigger on that one. They sent regular garlic bread instead of cheesy garlic bread but I couldn't bring myself to complain because it truly was so good, I didn't want to waste my stomach space on bread instead of the mac. The next closest one to us is in Missouri (4 hours away) so it will be a while. But I can not wait to have it again! My sister in law lives in southern Alabama and I have officially informed her of the Auburn location and of my life changing mac experience! 10/10 recommend. PLEASE COME TO CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, ILLINOIS!!!”
