50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Waco

“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 environment. Friendly service and best food in town.“

“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“

“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.“

“This place is awesome 😎 highly recommend!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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. 👍“

“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!“

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

“Great food and great beverages great atmosphere as awhole“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a great place, packed, even on a weekday. They said it can be an hour wait on weekends.We ordered tea and coffee and you get a whole pot,not just a cup. Our food was perfect. I had Eggs Benedict made with big slabs of country ham. Yum.Service was good, but a little slow, but they WERE busy.“

“It was good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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!“

“My friend and I went to the Waco Olive Garden for lunch today to celebrate my birthday. Heavenly was our server, and she was professional and friendly.
We both had salad, and I ordered the lunch shrimp scampi. The serving size was larger than expected, and I added sun-dried tomatoes, which were a delicious addition.
We had the Italian donuts for dessert, which I absolutely love! The raspberry and chocolate sauce, sauces, make it extra delicious.
The restaurant was clean, well staffed, and the parking lot was also very nice. My only comment would be to turn down the music in the bathroom. It was very loud.“

“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!!🔥♥️🔥“

“Excited for the classic sampler!“

“Had a great experience at Cricket’s! I got the 3AM Burger, and it was awesome. It really hit the spot and was exactly what I was looking for. The atmosphere was great, and the service made the experience even better. Maybreigh and McKay took great care of us and were friendly and attentive the entire time. Definitely a place I’d come back to!“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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!“

“If you're in Waco, Wako Roll is definitely worth checking out. We had the sushi and dumplings and both were absolutely delicious. The sushi was fresh with great flavor and lots of options. And I love that they're not just sushi. They have Korean dishes, poke bowls, bubble tea, and dumplings. So there's something for everyone. Portions were solid, prices were reasonable, and the whole experience was just enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back!“
