There's something about the bland taste of the BBQ here...not for sure what has changed. Ordered chopped beef and bologna. First time that I had to pay for the sliced bread just to start out, which I may understand paying for the sliced bread after a couple of slices are given at no charge. Overall, the atmosphere was great!

Exceptional. Barbecue always on target. Been going there for years. Best place in town. Especially their baked potatoes with all the works is wonderful.

I was looking for a good barbecue place to eat, while I was driving through town, so I checked some reviews and decided to eat here. The reviews were absolutely correct. This place is top notch! Every single employee was super friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. The brisket just fell apart, and the potato salad and beans were wonderful.

Not your typical BBQ restaurant, certainly the only Italian inspired Texas BBQ I know of...and its definitely worth the trip. Get the Brisket, Ribs and smoked Turkey and don't forget the Hot Gravy! You will never be disappointed in this place. It says something to be opened nearly 80 years. They know what they're doing!

Food was just average, but the presentation on butcher paper is worth the cost of admission.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm glad to say that it's totally accessible.

A Waco staple. If you're looking for BBQ that is uniquely Waco, come check out Tony D's. This is the place I recommend to tourists when they want to try BBQ on town.
