“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.“

“Excellent food and great atmosphere throughout the meal. Servers were on top of refills and check-ins without being intrusive — a balance that's harder to strike than it sounds. Clean place, comfortable seating, music at the right volume for actual conversation. Food itself was well-prepared and seasoned, portions generous for the price. Just a solid all-around dining experience and the kind of local restaurant that deserves repeat customers. Will absolutely be back soon and bringing more people.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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. 👍“

“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“

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

“The blueberry pancakes with lemon custard were absolutely outstanding! The pancakes were light and fluffy, and the lemon custard added the perfect balance of sweetness and a bright citrus flavor. Every bite was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. We will definitely back to try more items on the menu when we back in Waco. Highly recommend this breakfast 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Excited for the classic sampler!“

“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 😪“
