“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.“

“Food is delicious and fresh, the service we got was great, they didn’t cook my husband’s burger right so they took it back, came back with the wrong cheese and were willing to take it back again. Our server was on it, I can’t remember her name but it was a unique and beautiful name, for 4 of us the cost was reasonable!“

“We drove 52 miles one way for my kiddo’s graduation celebration. 11 people at 1 table. The waitresses were great, food was hot and quick and no one had to ask for a drink or anything else!! Thank you 🖤“

“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.“

“We came for brunch and both had skillets, ham & bacon, plus corned beef hash skillet, both with hollandaise sauce (which drew me to their menu and me selecting this restaurant today). Coffee and buttered McMuffin to top it all off. We enjoyed it. They have a private dining room in the back that can be reserved for family groups, with its own entrance.“

“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. 👍“

“Good food and service was good. We had the salmon and porkchop. The porkchop was dry but overall food was good and presented very well.

The decor and view is amazing. The place is beautiful including the bathrooms, make sure to walk around and enjoy it. The upstairs rooftop was closed. We went on a Saturday around 645pm and had reservations.“

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

“5 stars ***** for this restaurant! Our waitress Courtney was very friendly and took great care of us. The bread and marinara sauce was AMAZING!!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“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 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..“

“This bakery is tiny, but really cute - totally fitting of the surrounding area. Industrial galore!

The Lemon Lavender Cupcake was good, but there was definitely a lot of frosting which came off a little strong for me. I do believe in moderation here but the flavors of the icing itself was actually pretty good. It didn't taste super artificial which is something that I feel is hard to come by when it comes to cupcake frosting. The cupcake base was also super fluffy and airy - a really good base

The chocolate chip cookie was decent! Past the immediate edges, the insides came off a little doughy and raw for me, but this may just be me being picky.

The silo cookie (which isn't pictured) was actually really good. The oatmeal base with chocolate chips and nuts was a really good mixture that works amazingly well. It was not doughy like the chocolate chip cookie, and was really really tasty!“

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

“Absolutely delicious and fresh ingredients. So many options for add ins and toppings. I ordered the Ohana bowl for a post work out lunch and it was so refreshing!“

“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!“

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

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“This place has amazing service, everyone was nice and the area was clean. Be careful the booth seats might eat something or yours lol. There is a lot of windows and great natural lighting.
I had the Grilled Chicken Margherita, and it tasted pretty good, but I don't know if anything can top the BREAD STICKS 🤩“

“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 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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.
