“Who in the hell are the 12% that don't recommend Cupp's? Gotta be bottom feeding, scum sucking, carpet bagging, Libtard, Retarded Old Joe & His Hoe supporters!!! Go back to CA-CAlifornia!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“Finally found the time to drive out to try this restaurant and we are so happy we did. Wonderful place, and wonderful folks running it. It’s a little pricey, but that’s because grow all the food that they serve from my understanding. Let me tell you, the food is wonderful. Peach Sweet Tea, table bread, and Corn Fritters are a must try. Family friendly atmosphere. Very clean facility. We will be back.“

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

“We were in on Christmas Eve. Short handed crew, crowded with customers. Alexis and (Butter)John along with the duty manager took care of us like we were the only people there! The kitchen did an excellent job on the steaks and the vegetables were perfect. Baked potato was as usual, ready to eat with plenty of butter, and hot. Got spoiled by these guys! Happy for sure.“

“This place is awesome 😎 highly recommend!“

“Great place to eat. Food was good and came out fast. They made sure we had everything we needed and very friendly. Highly recommend“

“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!“

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

“The ribs and chopped beef were so good! Like the potato salad and beans too!“

“Consistently one of the best in town. Great, attentive service. Bartender makes fabulous cocktails. You can go upscale or eat a pizza, and the cannoli is lovely. Would also recommend their Sunday brunch but I’ve been coming here since it opened and have always had a great time.

If you’re coming Friday-Sunday, be sure to snag a reservation!“

“Great food and great beverages great atmosphere as awhole“

“Seriously the best sandwich’s!!! I love that I can walk from my salon to grab one on my lunch ☺️“

“Great hospitality. Meat pattie nicely spiced and a good appetizer. Owner gave us a taste of the pomegranate juice drink and we got that, as well as the pineapple ginger beverage. Loved my jerk chicken (big portions) and my husband loved his red snapper. Will definitely be back, wherever they're located!“

“best burgers in town hands down“

“The Olive Branch catered our Thanksgiving lunch. The food is amazing! Shout out to Leah who took on this catering job after another company had to back out due to an unfortunate circumstance. Thank you, Leah!“

“When I finished eating, I wanted to go back for seconds and thirds. It was so good but I was so full so I elected to call it. Wow! The 50-50 chicken bulgogi with onion cukes and cilantro and the siracha sauce was incredible! Some of the best food I've had in a long time. I especially liked their take on the chicken vs beef bulgogi. It added a really nice texture that I haven't seen before in other Korean food. This place is a must try!“

“The best brisket & ribs I've ever had. In town for a short time and ate there twice. Cole slaw and baked beans were excellent. Old rustic building but owner friendly and great character that added to the atmosphere. Highly recommend. Don't be put off by the neighborhood.“

“I very much enjoyed the ramen and Takoyaki app. My server was very friendly and checked on me often. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.“

“Our first visit to King Noodle, was quite a surprise. Don't expect your typical Asian Restaurant here, it's more like a Ramen/Pho' Dining experience. Our food was fabulous, extremely fresh and flavorful. We will definitely visit again, anytime we have traveled to Waco.“

“Friendly service. My SIL said her spud was good but mine, my mom’s and granddaughter’s ribs were tough.“

“That was an excellent restaurant to have a breakfast meal with family and friends.

“Let me tell you about this smoked prime rib—it should come with a warning and possibly a police escort. First off, it’s so tender that the meat barely hits your tongue before it melts away, leaving you questioning every life decision that led you here. The flavor? It’s so good, I’m convinced it’s illegal. Honestly, I would square up against a grizzly bear for a seat at the table. And the bear would lose, because nothing is coming between me and that smoked prime rib.

This isn’t just food—it’s a borderline religious experience. It has Christians questioning their morals, and I’ve seen atheists pull out a cross mid-bite. Eating here is a game changer, a life-altering moment. That prime rib could bring world peace, cure Monday blues, and probably balance your checkbook. I’m still processing the aftermath.“

“Tasty! Love the breakfast burritos. Generous portions at good prices.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“The was great everything special the food and services“

“Delicious cheese burgers with spicy Cajun fries. Old school burger very good!“

“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 ?“

“Very delicious food! My kids and I are from out of town & I told them you can never go wrong with a taco truck. I was not even wrong. Fresh hot delicious food, wonderful service and a nice safe little spot here. Definitely will come back when in the area Gracias!“
