This is one of our favorite restaurants in Waco. Not only is the food amazing the service is always great from the moment you walk in.
We went for a special night out and enjoyed it so much we went again the next week. The atmosphere, food and views in Waco are unmatched. The drinks are so yummy and so unique. 10 out of 10!
We chose Red Herring to celebrate our anniversary and it was fantastic! Our server (Maria) was very helpful in making suggestions. Cocktails took a little time but were worth the wait. We shared the hanger steak, Chicken skewers, potatoes and focaccia — all of which were excellent. Rounded out our meal with the berry tiramisu for dessert. Highly recommend and will definitely return to try some of the other menu offerings! A welcome addition to downtown Waco!!

The Red Herring Restaurant & Bar in Waco offers a refined dining experience that feels like an escape from the city. The menu features a mix of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, including Lamb Chops with Harissa and Grilled Banzino, along with a delectable chocolate mousse dessert. The use of wood-fired grilling adds a unique flavor to many dishes. The elegant interior, with curved booths and a stunning centerpiece bar, creates a classy and beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant offers shareable tapas-style plates and main entrées, with menu items influenced by Mediterranean, Italian, and American cuisines. Dishes like kofta, hummus, chicken skewers, focaccia, and cacio e pepe are highly recommended. The pork ribs are large and filling, perfect for those seeking a hearty meal. The desserts, especially the chocolate mousse with huckleberry, are delicious and well-loved. The staff provides excellent service, and the hospitality is warm. The restaurant occasionally features live music, adding to the special experience. While the menu offers smaller portions typical of European-style dining, the overall quality, atmosphere, and location make it a highly recommended spot for a romantic date night or special occasion.
