13 Best Bar & Grill near Woodway

“Recently attended a Sip & Smoke with my husband and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Ray was a great host as well as the other staff. Back patio was nice and relaxing as well. Great atmosphere.“

“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!“

“What a hidden jewel out away from the hustle and bustle. Right in the middle of the crops growing. Fixed up so cute. Very clean snd neat. And Al and his staff are fantastic. We had a little get together with about 40 people out there and everyone loved it and can’t wait to go back. Inside area outside covered area and open area, lots of room and everyone can choose where they want to be. Thanks Al and crew looking forward to seeing you again soon Thank you.

“A hole-in-the-wall style bar, perfect for a casual night out or a sports viewing party. I can't get enough of the pool tables and pickle shots. (They're like slushies!)“

“Great experience! Alexis the bartender was fun and attentive. The wait staff is on top of their game! I had the patty melt and it was delicious! The music is loud enough to enjoy, but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. It was a fun time and I look forward to coming in again!“

“We have stayed here several times and it’s always a pleasure.“

“We picked a busy weekend to come here. It was Baylor move in weekend AND a sold out concert that brought 40,000 people into Waco. Understandably the wait was long. Colin came in on his day off and was hosting AND serving a large section. As a host he kept us informed as to the wait time and the reason. Once seated his attention to our party of 6 was prompt and transparent. The food was great and the service was better. Colin encouraged us to take the wait and his service made it worth it. Thank you Colin.“

“As an influencer who travels the country trying to find the best bars in the country. I was pleasantly surprised to find a gem in Waco.

The drinks were well made and reasonably priced. Bartenders were super helpful and very kind. Shout out to Ezra for the martinis.

Note: in the few hours we were there nobody was being disruptive until they were. Security staff did a great job shuffling out a drunkard screaming his name loudly (Sam? Seth?) I didn’t catch it.

Great bar!“
