Fantastic dinner. The spinach artichoke dip was devoured and akaushi chicken fried steak was one of the best I have had in long time. The whipped potatoes were so good they didn't need gravy. The staff was warm and friendly and our server provided excellent service. 10 out 10!

We made a reservation for after graduation, they even saw us earlier than the original reservation time since graduation was quicker than expected. Everything was absolutely perfect! We ordered multiple appetizers, a variety of foods, and multiple drinks and there wasn’t a single complaint! The staff was amazing from when I called to make the reservation to our waitress. We will definitely be by again when visiting Waco.

Also the location made a great spot...

Buzzard Billy’s has new owners and last night my dinner was wonderful. I had the Sea Bass and it was cooked to perfection. The cocktails were great and the service was great. I will go again and again. Might be the best meal I have had in Waco.
