Baylor student casually walking around and ran into this restaurant. I ended up talking to Bill Collin’s for hours about the history of Waco. Oh yes, I did get a chance to eat as well and the food was amazing!!

Tried to go for first time. I didn’t see anywhere online that they had a limited menu on sunday but they do and what we came for wasn’t on limited menu so we wait 30mins to be sat just to have to leave :/

The food was amazing, and the two gentlemen were so nice will definitely go back and bring family
This was my first time but not my last time at Mama & Papa B's Bar-B-Q. They treat you like family with it's up beat atmosphere. There's a reason this place has been here for over 40 years. I'll be back very soon hope you'll be there too.
Say Hi to Papa B for me! Ribs, sausage and creamy potato salad is “guaranteed” to be delicious! Support Ma & Pa’s!!

Mr. Collins makes some tasty 'cue. It definitely doesn't look like much on the outside but that's a good thing. No flashy signs or anything like that. As soon as you open the door, you know you're at the right place. Nothing fancy inside either but there's no need for that. You might question my rating for the atmosphere, but it's because of Mr. Collins. The smell of barbecue hits you. I wish I had more time to eat more but I had prior plans & only had time for a sandwich. Got myself the beef (brisket) sandwich. It comes on 2 slices of white bread with only a little sauce. I don't like when they put on too much sauce because you can't taste the flavor of the smoke or meat. It was was super tender. Of course he wouldn't share his secrets to his brisket, but I had to ask. Unfortunately I'm from NYC, but if I'm ever back in Waco I'll definitely try to stop by to try his other food. Not only is his food good, he's a super nice person. He would accept my money because he said it was satisfaction guaranteed. And when I buy into my sandwich, there was no doubt that I was satisfied. Don't be scared away by the outside because it's what's inside that's good, the food & especially Mr. Collins.

We were visiting from South Dakota and decided to check out Magnolia Market, walked to Mama & Papa B’s and had a wonderful time. Bill is a brother in Christ who wants to serve outstanding BBQ. Some of the best links I’ve ever had in my life. Highly recommend!
As an out of towner from Detroit, I was searching for some good,southern bar b que. This place did not disappoint! The food has the flavor of love and I Don't know how else to put it. There's so much love, care, joy and experience that outshines the flavor which by the way is outstanding! Please, go support this fine gentlemen. You won't be disappointed. Let's show them some support!

Papa B is the NICEST MAN EVER. Last June, my friend and I visited here during our graduation road trip and we had a wonderful time with wonderful food. I thought this was the end of story BUT IT WAS NOT.My husband and I just got married last weekend and we took my folks (visiting from China) to Waco since it’s where we met (as Baylor students). So I decided to feed them with some decent Texan BBQ and we came here again. Papa B literally recognized me soon after we walked in and he even kept the receipt from last June with our name and number on it! We were so surprised! He sent us off with the warmest greet, the most wonderful cinnamon cake/roll, and the most sincere blessing. If you ever come to Waco, stop by and talk to him. This man does not only welcome people into his restaurant, he welcome you into his heart.

Phantastic BBQ. The food was really awesome. Would go back there anytime. If you are in the Magnolia area you must go there. The staff is super friendly and we felt very welcome when we entered the restaurant. Even if it looks small from the outside, it is a nice, cozy place with a smalltown atmosphere.We'll come back on our next roadtrip.
