50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Waco

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

“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)“

“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.“

“Excellent food and everyone is so nice ! Definitely will be back!! Will be telling friends,and family to visit!“

“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.“

“I was in Waco for three days and ate here twice. Wonderful people and fresh, tasty burgers. Don’t miss it if you’re in town.“

“5 Stars, great food & quick service!!! Friendly people 😊“

“I recommend the sampler of the different bourbon and whiskeys baby Blues was wonderful. French oak was quite tasty and brimstone was awesome. Very very delicious spirits…I was there during restaurant week. A great atmosphere. E.A.Short“

“This place is awesome 😎 highly recommend!“

“So good!! Not sure why it’s called club sandwich when they don’t serve sandwiches, but whatever lol. I come here whenever I’m in Waco; it’s just that good. Don’t overestimate how much you can eat, though; the portions are big! The service is always fantastic. Our cashier was so sweet, and she seemed to genuinely care about how we were doing and what brought us to Waco. Highly recommend!!“

“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! 💕“

“I absolutely can't say enough good things about this place. We were in from out of town, lucked into seeing it on Google Maps. They couldn't have been more friendly, and I'm still in awe from how amazing the food was. Get the pork chop martini and thank me later!! 🤯🤯🤯“

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

“Don’t let the bars on the windows fool you. You know when your brisket sandwich comes on loaf bread it’s going to be good. My husband and I are from Mississippi and was in Waco for the day. Jasper’s is exactly the kind of place we like to find. The brisket was outstanding. I had the Waco Tornado and it was the best meal of our trip in Texas! Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“Food and service were excellent. Disappointed in the credit card surcharge and the excessive beef cost. In a day where cash is far less prevalent there is no reason to add a surcharge. It is only going to hurt the employees when folks reduce the tip.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and great beverages great atmosphere as awhole“

“My Favorite place for our Family We Love the Food it Fresh and amazing 🤩“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🖤“

“It was good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Our Breakfast Place is truly that! The food was consistently wonderful along with the service. Our server knew when to bring refills and anticipated our every need. My only issue is with the chairs and benches which could be more comfortable. All in all the experience was great this morning. Keep it up.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

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

“Everything was perfect. Jordan was incredible. He made us feel as though we were top priority. His recommendations were spot on. The calamari was cooked perfectly. The salads were fresh and delicious. The portions and the pace at which the food arrived were perfect. The steak was the most decadent juicy flavorful medium rare. The scallop was the most perfect scallop I've ever eaten. The sautéed veggies were crisp and flavorful. But that bread pudding almost made me cry. it's the best I've ever had. From the moment we walked in until the moment we walked out, the experience was truly incredible. The next time we're in Waco, we will definitely be back, but we will have to call ahead and make sure that Jordan is working so we can have the same elite service that we experienced today.“

“Relaxed casual Family atmosphere, great food.

This is a place where you order on entry, get the food immediately, and seat yourself at large picnic tables inside or outside. Very friendly and fast,! It's great for family style eating, like a neighborhood bbq inside.

The bbq is some of Texas best, especially the brisket! You can choice moist or lean. They offer sausage links plain, jalapeno ( our favorite) or cheese.

Highly recommend“

“Just went back today after our previous bad experience. It was great. Ribeye tender and juicy. Owner definitely takes care of his customers if aren’t happy with your experience. We’d definitely recommend it“

“I recommend the beyond burger it's so good with fries and looks so 70's version I liked that thay kept it the best thay could all original from the 70's“

“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.“
