“Food super delicious, staff was really friendly (la comida estaba super deliciosa, y los trabajadores del restaurante se portaron muy amables nos hablaron en español) 100 % recomendado.“

“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“

“The restaurant has flourished in the last year. Have tried multiple entrees and appetizers and all have been excellent. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Well I can see why they have such rave reviews. When we showed up the line was almost out the door. That said allot. We decided to stay and get in the reservation list. Not more n 15 minutes pat and we were in the door !I only wish they had more options besides pork for meats but I was so impressed by the biscuits, the service and the price point weren't terrible. Cute little store inside the restaurant. Very tempting. Bring one to my city!!! My daughter and I really enjoyed it here and she is VERY PICKY!! ENJOY Y'ALL.“

“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.“

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

“Great food and great beverages great atmosphere as awhole“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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. 👍“

“From start to finish, this spot was terrific. The shrimp cocktail was huge (8 pieces) which you don't typically get in a shrimp cocktail. The seabass I had was lovely - I was able to sub out the kimchi in my dish (not a fan) for wilted spinach and so much on the menu was gluten free which I 100% appreciate. Also, they brought a special dessert from their cafe downstairs just so I could have a GF Dessert option other than ice cream. But to me, most importantly, our server was delightful and attentive without being in your face (young blond gentleman). As a business owner, I appreciate great customer service!!! Thanks Bertie's for a great evening!!“

“We got lucky with timing of the entire Magnolia area. Maybe it’s just summer, 100 degrees or the fact it was Tuesday. Not busy at all anywhere. We ordered an orange cupcake, chocolate and a lemon lavender. The orange cake was a bit dry/crispy outer edges. The frostings were sooo sweet for all of us. We scraped at least half of it off. The lemon lavender cake was moist and good though. Cute shop, love the aesthetics of all the shops.“

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

“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!“

“Amazing menu, romantic setting, fantastic service. 10/10 recommend!“

“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!“

“Love everything about it!!“

“Best Mexican restaurants in Waco I go there everyday for my coffee..“

“We walked in for a table of 6 and waited only about 15 minutes for a table. Service and food was great. Waffle got soggy after a little bit cause of the topping and it was so large. Potatoes were excellent and big portions. Forgot to take pictures of all our food but we would definitely go back.“

“It was our first visit, we will be back The food was great, service was amazing and hospitality like you get from those down home country cafes.“

“Homemade pita bread!! Delicious tasting Gyros!! Awesome desserts! Need to open a restaurant in Broken Arrow, OK!!“

“literally just left moments ago, one of the employees saw me limping oustide yes outside not even knowing if. we were going inside because we stopped by the ATM before going in and offered me a bag of ice for my ankle omg life saver so he went back inside then shortly after me and my husband went in and ordered and had a great experience ! we tried the new smoothie their advertising and loved it. overall this is is why were going back great customer services helped me before even knowing i was a customer that right there is everythinh kudos to him and the smoothie this is our new spot !“

“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!“

“It was good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

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

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

“I know I’m in the minority with people under 50 but I actually like the ambience. I like the music and I like the fact that the place is not super super busy but that could’ve been too because I was here early afternoon regardless I’m writing to commend my server Diana she was very good. There were three people in her area one was a family of four people part of that family spoke Spanish. She communicated with them beautifully, and there was a couple of younger girls. She handled them beautifully as well, and she took care of me. Also very good. She was attentive smiling to time. I was very impressed by her work.“

“I order here so much they should know my name!! Best Asian food around Waco!!! The spice levels are spot on! Food is always fresh!!🔥♥️🔥“

“tacos are delicious, carne guisada“

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

“Excited for the classic sampler!“

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

“What you want from a local restaurant in every way. Honest food, reasonable prices, warm and attentive service, clean dining room — all the basics done well and consistently. The kitchen clearly takes pride in what they send out and the staff seems to actually enjoy being there. Will become a regular here if I'm in town often enough, and recommending it to anyone who asks. The kind of independent local spot that deserves the loyal customer base it clearly has built up over time.“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“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!!“

“We’ve hosted Waco Babes Book Club at Cricket’s multiple times over the years, and it has become one of our go-to spots for a reason! Finding a place that can comfortably handle a large group of 50+ women, month after month, is no easy task, and Cricket’s has continued to welcome us.

The staff has always been kind and accommodating to our lively group, the food is consistently great, and the space works so well for our book club nights. We especially appreciate having a reliable place we know we can count on for larger gatherings.

Thank you for being a long-term home for so many of our chaotic, book-filled evenings.“

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

“food was ok and waiter and hostess was good but they do not have orange chicken or fries like summer palace 😪“

“We had a birthday party for my sister in law. Staff was amazing!!! Accommodating with last minute changes. Great food. Very helpful. Clean room. Lots of area for a party of 40ish.
We did the salad bar and pizza bar for the event. Thank u
Manager was Adriana.“
