“Great food and wonderful service! The waitress wad cheerful and informative! (our first time there) The only suggestion I have is that the chairs were very uncomfortable.It wasn't just our table of seven. I saw other customers struggling. just a consideration to think about. I give the a 4.9“

“This place is awesome 😎 highly recommend!“

“Max was our server tonight and he was excellent! It was super busy and sooo loud for some reason, but he was patient, kind, and got everything out perfectly! Austin was also very helpful! Great food and service all around!“

“Just happened to be traveling through Waco and decided to stop for some food and a drink; happened upon Barnett’s Whiskey House and I’m glad we did. The food was most excellent, the atmosphere was good and the service was top notch! Looking forward to hearing the live music later this evening. Will definitely stop in anytime I come through or near Waco.“

“Have you ever been walking down the street and see a place that looks interesting? This evening my wife and I saw the doors and stepped in. No we didn’t have a reservation and beyond excited to see they had a single open table. I make it a habit to ask the waiter what they recommend and let them plan my meal. Coby led the journey this evening full of excellent choices. I highly recommend this place for a very romantic dinner of conversation with amazing food and even better staff. We will be back!“

“It takes a lot to impress me. When I go out to eat it better be Damn good!! Well!! Magnolia table is just that. Absolutely phenomenal all the way around!! My wife and I had the spinach artichoke dip and a bowl of the mushroom bisque for appetizers . I had the orange glazed salmon with Brussel sprouts au gratin and the sticky toffee cake for dessert. My wife had the bucatini with spinach artichoke sun dried tomato sauce and the peanut butter parfait for dessert. Absolutely delicious!! We will be back and go to the silo as well next time!! Well worth driving from Tulsa Oklahoma in the pouring down rain yesterday !“

“We LOVE Hokkaido! We especially enjoy it when we are under the weather. (Like a lot of us are right now). We find it is warm and satisfying. A couple of observations that may be worth taking note of: 1. Online ordering is hit and miss. The hours on the ordering website (chowbus) aren’t accurate and sometimes the add-ons or subtractions aren’t taken into account. 2. I noticed that some staff members park in the front. This wouldn’t concern me so much if it wasn’t for the handicapped patrons. Maybe I am missing something? Anyhoo, all in all, it is a great atmosphere and the food is absolutely delicious, and frankly, that’s why we go.“

“Hands down the best tacos in Waco, Texas!“

“What a wonderful surprise! Don’t let the neighborhood keep you away. I had the gyro plate and the meat was so tender I cut it with my plastic fork…like butter. It was delicious. The hummus was great as well as the chicken kabob. I especially loved that it is family owned and run. A very special place. We will be back.“

“Great food and great beverages great atmosphere as awhole“

“Ordered for a group of around 50. Food was phenomenal. Every single family style tray was great!“

“Such a gem! The food is always on point, but the service is consistently impeccable! From the carpaccio, bruschetta, roasted beet salad, and burratta to the fish entrees , pastas, & and cocktails, I have never been disappointed.“

“Highly recommend. Our first but definitely not our last time coming here. A hidden gem“

“We tried it but putting the dirty sample spoons in a bucket on the clean counter is super nasty. All I could think about was that bucket of people spit right by the ice cream!“

“We ate here tonight and had a fabulous experience. Our service was incredible from the second we walked in and were greeted and taken to our seats by Marshall. Our server Courtney was 10/10, and this was all before our food even arrived. We split the filet and burger, and both were outstanding! So excited to come back next time we are in town!“

“2. Chocolate chip: chewy middle, large chocolate chunks, solid!
1. Silo cookie: soft interior with crunchier exterior, some crunch throughout— SO delicious
5.Oatmeal chocolate chip cookie: very soft, a little grainier
4.Peanut butter oatmeal: rough and rowdy!
6. Vanilla shortbread: crumbly, not too sweet
3. Vegan salted caramel: crunchy and a bit harder“

“Saffron is a cute and clean Indian restaurant. We ordered the Vegetable Biryani and the Vegetable Curry with plain Naan Bread. I also had the Masala Chai tea. Everything was fresh and delicious. 👍“

“I ordered the biscuits and gravy, 2 over easy eggs, and it came with fried potatoes. The biscuits and gravy reminded me of my grandmother's (homestyle gravy), the eggs were cooked perfect, and the potatoes were pretty good as well. The staff was friendly and even though there were plenty of people it didn't seem too loud. Will definitely be going back.“

“the food is great. but the place needs to be cleaned up.“

“We had the wonderful opportunity to eat at McDowell’s today. Our meal was perfect. We both had catfish and all the trimmings. I strongly recommend you go! Mr Mac is wonderful. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Always a fun treat. Birthday treat!“

“The turkey muffaletta was great as always. This is a delicious sandwich with olive tapenade and I highly recommend it. There was an error with my online order and when I sent the owner feedback, he graciously sent me the purchase price of my meal plus a little bit extra on a gift card. this is the way to take care of people and I will definitely return to Jason's deli again without a doubt! The food is always wonderfully fresh and consistent and you should do yourself a favor and go there today!“

“Food was amazing. Would go back in a heartbeat“

“1st of all, thank you for the veteran day meal. My husband and I are both vets and it was appreciated. I just wanted to comment about your water. It had a bad taste and when I asked for another glass the waitress stated she had been told Waco water systems had been doing something and the water had a different taste. We live in Waco and our water at home doesn’t have that taste. You might want to test your filtration system at the restaurant. The only other comment I have is since the water was undrinkable the waitress asked it I wanted tea. I said yes and was charged 3.50 for it. Those prices are ridiculous but since I was getting the soup and salad for free I didn’t complain.“

“Great food and great beverages great atmosphere as awhole“

“Excellent Thai food. Very authentic and very tasty! It is spicy, so order mild if you don't care for spice.“

“So yummy I’m going tonight!“

“tacos are delicious, carne guisada“

“Best Mexican food I’ve ever had 10/10 no complaints. Even the napkin was soft lol“

“this is the best food I've ever had. the cury was wonderful I've never had something so flavorful!! everything from the appetizers to the main course fantastic!!“

“great food .. larger than life portions..“

“Amazing burgers and even better service!! I highly suggest the Patty Melt, just know going in that it’s 2 patties. My husband enjoyed the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon burger and because it was the burger of the month, got 6pc of bacon as well as made a donation to the Kevin Bacon Foundation 😊 We went on a week day, and shortly after they opened. It wasn’t too crowded and service was fast! Definitely a recommend from us 👍“

“This is my first visit here in over 12 years. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and fast service. Their lunch prices are very reasonable especially with the cost of food now. I’ll definitely be coming back when wanting Thai food in the downtown area. Great spot for lunch downtown.“

“Excited for the classic sampler!“

“My dad loved your restaurant. He came in just about every week. Thank you for hosting his memorial group. The way you and your staff took care of us was beyond compassionate. Thank you so much.“

“First time here and we've never heard of Cricket's before. Went in Cricket's because it looked huge from the front and assumed it will not be crowded. It turned out it was a good choice and we had an overall good experience. We ordered the peanut butter bacon burger with fries, waco hot chicken crispy sandwich with tots and 2 sweet teas. The sandwiches were both veey good and tasty. The buns were soft, warm, and crispy on the edges. The fries were very good - perfect crispness and it had the skins on. Yum. The crispy chicken breading was very tasty and fried just right - crunchy, well seasoned and does not taste oily. The tots were plain but the quantity makes up for the flavor. Sweet teas were quite weak. Needed more steeping, i think. The server did not come back to offer refills or waters or to check if we needed anything. We badly needed napkins. lol. Had to catch his attention to let him know we are ready for the check. I do recommend the peanut butter bacon burger, if you like peanut butter and bacon. I also liked the decor and feel of the place, very high ceiling, cozy booths, and a large bar and pretty wide variety of beers/ipas. I imagined it will be noisier and busier during dinner and weekends. But a quiet and laid back lunch with tasty food is what we experienced today.“

“I’ve never had a bad experience here. This is my go to place! Love it!“
