50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Waco

“We ate at Waco Waffle today. They had a lot of business but still got everyone in and with their food in an impressively timely manner. We actually had a small medical issue with our son and the owner was so helpful, wise, and kind. The food was really good but the people there are even better. 5 stars all the way. Thank you. (and our granddaughter loved watching the water wheel at the big window)“

“waitress was very friendly she was only waitress and still attended all the tables her name was Deborah will be going back“

“Best Dang Hamburgers around“

“Jaspers is a real hole in the wall, the good type that you try to find and keep going back to. All about good bbq at very reasonable prices. The simple old decor is part of the charm as you focus on no nonsense eating. The jalapeno, onion and bread sides were perfect fixings to go with the bbq sampler plate we got.“

“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 food truck was amazing! After trying a sample of the chicken, I ordered a bowl! The veggies were fresh, and delicious. The sauces and veggies are free, so you can always go up to get more. The meal was light and fresh. I would recommend this truck to anyone visiting Magnolia.“

“Jorge's takes Mexican food to the next level! Unbelievable grilled shrimp, beef, and chicken fajitas! Portions are huge, perfectly grilled and seasoned. Street corn and the black beans were delicious. Margaritas were strong, flavorful, and refreshing! We visited on Fathers Day with reservations and were seated promptly. Service was exemplary, friendly and helpful!“

“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.“

“I’ve always loved this local sandwich shop. The fresh made and unique bread is to die for! Anytime I’m in the mood for a sandwich, Schmaltz is top of mind. Perfect locations for a business lunch meeting as well“

“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“

“1 - Excellent food…fried pickles appetizer gone in 60 seconds; burgers were awesome; tater tots add beyond yummy…and stay crispy enough for next day breakfast ( because they give you a portion that you WILL have another meal) 2 - Speedy, friendly customer service…very attentive staff….we tipped well over the standard 20% because it was so good! 3 - beautiful, lively atmosphere…air coolers for outdoor eating, which we chose despite the heat/humidity Most importantly, I was an out of tower and this was my last meal with local family before flying out the next morning. Dumb a** me left my wallet at the restaurant and didn’t realize until getting ready to leave for the airport at 0830. We stopped by the restaurant to see if it was still in the outdoor eating area…nope. Luckily, ran into the contractor doing some work…he called the owner, the owner confirmed it was in the office safe. After hearing I needed to make the AM flight to DFW for connection to home, he dispatched an employee to go in on a planned closed day to get my wallet. This kindness allowed me to make my flight…what he didn’t know is this act of kindness was critical because I had a new job in-person interview scheduled for the next day. Forever grateful. THAT is customer service. Thank you so much! Tells a lot about the culture and dedication to customers. Keep up the awesome work…I will be back. Promise to keep better accountability of my wallet!“

“Well trained staff … seemed genuinely happy to work there, excited to see us and try their food. So welcoming. Been a long time since I’ve received genuine customer service. We will be back. Also- kids got rolled ice cream and she really got the kids excited for their treat! 💕“

“AMAZING FOOD!! Definitely come try out King Noodle if you haven’t already. We ordered the Pork Dumplings and Cheese Wontons for appetizers which were 10/10. I had Coconut Shrimp as my main served with fried rice which was also 10/10. I didn’t catch our servers name but she was killing it out there on a busy Friday night while serving everyone else! Definitely will be back.“

“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!“

“Moroso Italian delivers truly authentic Italian cuisine. Had the Margherita pizza and it was amazing. Moroso does a great job with authentic Italian food, and their Neapolitan style pizza is some of the best I’ve had. The crust was light and flavorful, the ingredients tasted fresh, and everything came together perfectly. Great atmosphere and great food. I’ll definitely be back.“

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

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

“We stopped by here on our anniversary weekend. The place was awesome. They are a great Christian business! God bless them.“

“The food was awesome. The staff was the friendliest restaurant staff I’ve ever experienced before. Today was my first time to visit this place. We immediately felt like family. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service. I will definitely be returning for the Wagyu Steak Enchiladas (Iron Table Steak Enchiladas).“

“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!“

“10/10 can’t recommend this place enough! The atmosphere, food, and Viteks crew are fantastic. It’s one of our favorite places in Waco to eat at!“

“Amazing laid back bar que spot. Perfect for game days!“

“Absolutely love their buffalo and lemon pepper wings. They squeeze real lemon on them, and it makes an amazing difference. Pizza by the slice is quick and easy, but we usually order a whole pizza or open face pizza pillows. The bar area is a great place to watch the game, and it has always been family friendly when we have been there. Parking can get tight, but it's worth it!“

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

“Anytime we get a craving for pizza, Italia Express is always gonna satisfy! The SIZE FLAVOR of the pizza is always gonna keep us coming back! They also just got LEMON PEPPER wings and we’ve been waiting forever for this!! The wings were so good and flavorful, hopefully they keep them on the menu!! 10/10 ?“

“My family came to visit from California and had to bring them here to eat.

The food is always decadent and made to order to ensure its freshness.

The owner and staff are polite, courteous, and professional.

They always ensure their destination is clean and polished.

If you come to Waco, take the time to come here for a wonderful culinary experience.“

“Amazing food and service. Ate here with 3 other coworkers, everything we had was absolutely delicious. drinks were amazing.“

“We came in for lunch and BJs Restaurant was great! The smash burger was smashin' and the Santa Fe Salad was crisp and fresh! Will visit again of course!“

“Y’all ASK FOR NATALIE!!!! She is a top tier server! Hands down I love me some hometown food, but amazing serving like that is WHAT WILL KEEP MY FAMILY COMING BACK!!’“

“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.“

“I order dozens of Rudy’s breakfast tacos throughout the year for company events and every time my order is perfect and always ready when I arrive at the store. This week I ordered 3 dozen the day before for an early morning pickup but due to an emergency I was unable to pick them up. Holly at the Waco store called and left voicemail checking to see if I was ok first and wanted to see if I was going to be able to pick up my order. I called Holly the next morning to explain the situation and the first thing that she said was I hope you are ok. She offered a full refund . Besides having great food, Rudy’s employees great people with great character that you don’t see much anymore. Thank you Holly and Rudy’s for your kind service.“

“John didn’t just serve our table, he completely elevated the entire experience. From the second we walked in, he operated on a level you’d expect from a true fine dining establishment. His welcome was warm, confident, and intentional. He immediately took ownership of our experience. He didn’t just take our order, he curated it. The way he described each dish and offered recommendations made everything feel thoughtful and elevated. And the food absolutely delivered. The chicken parmigiana creamero was incredible! Perfectly cooked, rich, and full of flavor. You could tell there was care in every detail, and John made sure we didn’t miss out on one of the best things on the menu. What really sets him apart is his presence throughout the meal. He anticipated needs before we even had to ask, his timing was seamless, and he struck that perfect balance of attentive without hovering. It felt effortless, but you can tell it’s not, it’s skill. John isn’t just a great waiter, he’s a leader. He sets the tone, takes pride in the guest experience. 10/10 experience. Ask for John, you’ll be glad you did.“
