“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.“

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

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

“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)“

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

“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.“

“Christi’s has the best hamburger in all of Waco, Tx. It’s actually in Bellmeade one of the many suburbs of Waco. We’re always welcomed with a hello and a thank you on the way out.This is the place to come for an old fashion delicious grilled burger. So tasty. No one does it better“

“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“

“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.“

“We ordered the Alaskan Wild Caught Salmon and the Contadino Pizza. The salmon was cooked per fectly and the pizza was amazing! Don't forget to treat yourself to one of their beautiful desserts. We recommend the Torta aAl Cioccolato which was out of this world!“

“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!“

“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“

“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! 💕“

“Great food and great beverages great atmosphere as awhole“

“This place is very clean and modern design. The dining experience is nice. I ordered the steamed pork buns and the Mongolian beef at the recommendation of the waiter. I wasn't a big fan of the pork dumplings. It tasted like freezed pork buns you can buy at the grocery stores steamed. The Mongolian beef on the other hand was amazing. It had a great flavor that went well with the steamed rice. The fried noodles soaked up the sauce and made it amazing. I don't think it would be to good to get with fried rice or I feel it might be to salty. I would recommend the Mongolian beef and maybe next time I'll try the spicy beef noodle soup“

“Great breakfast/brunch stop while traveling from Dallas to Austin! The staff was very friendly and patient with my two picky eaters. The only suggestion I’d make is to offer regular pancakes for kids, since some little ones might not love the wheat version. My 9-year-old and I thought they were delicious, but my 6-year-old didn't because it was wheat . He's just a picky eater!

I really appreciated the healthy menu options. Parents had the avocado toast with poached eggs, and it was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!“

“We stopped by Club Sandwich at the Silos, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The staff was so friendly and welcoming — they even offered us a sample of the chicken, and wow, it was so flavorful it had us hooked at the first bite!

I ordered the chicken bulgogi, and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly seasoned and served on a bed of shredded cabbage with the freshest, crisp vegetables. And let’s not forget about the sriracha ranch — the perfect kick to tie it all together!“

“The food was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the entire experience from the beginning to the end.“

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

“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.“

“OH.My.Gosh! This was the best Brisket and aujus I've ever had! My husband has bragged about this place for years, he ate here as a kid with his grandpa and had great memories here, But he couldn't ever get down here to visit again.Today while I was in Waco I stopped in & finally brought some home.
(we live over an hr away) He said it felt like Christmas when I brought it home .What a surprise. 10 stars!!“

“Best Mexican Food in Town!“

“Great food, staff, and atmosphere. The fuel is just a little bit higher than I like to pay. A few cents more than buc-ee's is worth every penny. The barbecue is far superior, and a nice place to sit down and eat, with fresh pickles and onions as well as outstanding coleslaw and sweetened tea. Thanks Rudy's, you make my road trip very pleasant!“

“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 ?“

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

“I was just there with my group of 20kids , and I got to say the brisket frito pie was amazing. The pecan pie is soooo sweet you can tell it’s homemade I,would recommend coming here you won’t be disappointed.“
