List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Waco, Texas (Part 2)

Cora Van Winkle The food was too good that I didn’t get any photos. The salt and pepper on the table weren’t and didn’t need to be touched. I am only ever traveling through Waco for medical stuff so the joy of well cooked veggies in particular was appreciated. I just wish my mom was with me because she would’ve liked it even more than me.

Vegas OnBlast This is a casual dining place ..the food was good!!! I do wish they had home brewed sweet tea, but the fried shrimp was pretty good and the fried okra was GREAT!!!

Ken & Heather Smith The pizza and macaroni bites were delicious. The atmosphere is nice, especially the outdoor patio that overlooks the lake and park. Very relaxing. They do have a bar but its cut off from the rest of the restaurant so you dont have to worry about shenanigans.

Abigail Johnson This was my first time eating here. Great food! It’s a good portion and it’s good quality. I got regular Mac and cheese with brisket and garlic parmesan drizzle. I personally didn’t like the garlic parmesan drizzle just because it gave it a strong flavor, nothing to do with the quality of the restaurant or food though! The guy working the counter was really nice too.

Kat B Sierra was so kind and match the energy at our table. She was diligent, polite and her service was excellent. She consistently presented herself at our table with a smile and readiness attitude to assist us to ensure we had the best experience possible. If you have her as your server you are sure to have an amazing experience!

Prayer and Testimony Showing Gods love! We had a really nice experience at this Czech restaurant in downtown Waco! The service was prompt, food was exceptional, and they ensured that my wife had a wonderful bday experience. They brought out an amazing red velvet cupcake with a nicely decorated plate and candle. They even brought out an extra cupcake! The server Dylan was kind and helpful throughout our visit. My wife and I could have eaten another plate of the Schnitzel pasta with cream sauce. Overall a very good experience!

Brian Svedin I wish I was in Texas longer so I could come back here. This was the best ribeye I’ve had in years - I HIGHLY recommend their Marsala mushroom sauce. We got there at opening, so we were able to walk in and be seated. They have the main floor, bar seating, outdoor seating, a private dining room, and a larger separate event room. The waitstaff here wear white button-downs and black ties, so it’s recommended that you dress up at least a little.

Old Goat My wife and I are visiting from out of town. After we arrived, we realized we had eaten here once before, many years ago. We both had chicken kabobs with different sides. Chicken was excellent. Rice, pita’s, salad and hummus were very good. The gentleman who took our order at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant itself is very basic, but it feels like a family owned business that has been around for years, so no issues. My only slight complaint is that the prices are quite high compared to our hometown Mediterranean choices. If we are visiting Waco again, we would likely return.

Mark Owen This is my first time in a Hawaiian Bros. I walked in and was discovering everything for the first time. Ian recognized immediately that I was lost. He introduced himself, showed me how the process works. He is very knowledgeable on every item and helped me order. Customer service is lacking in a lot of business the last decade or so, but Ian gave me new hope ol’ fashion customer service with eye contact, a shake of a hand with step by step help still exists. Thank You Ian for the red carpet experience.

sumpath hiremath Stopped here for lunch and the place was about 90% full, but they were still able to accommodate us quickly. The staff was very friendly and accommodating—they even made a simple veg burger for my son, even though it wasn’t on the menu. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Overall, a great experience.

Shari Underhill What fantastic find for a date night or get out of the house! If you havent been here you are truly missing out! Very nice wine selection and our meal was 5 stars all the way and past. Our appetizer was recommended Kaarge Chicken and Im soooo glad. The spices on this chicken was so full of flavor. Then my Husband had the Pork Chop Schnitzel that was excellent! Soo tender flavorful and cooked to perfection! I had the sourdough grilled cheese with bacon and mushrooms with the Fall Salald! Once again soo flavorful! Service was sooo great too! Hope you find this place and have the same experience we did!! We will be back!

Amy Jellison We stopped in Pignettis without reservations. There was a short wait for a table of two. Our server was on spot with timing, making recommendations, and pleasantries. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great for a night out.

Debbie Ewing Sept. 23rd our Supper Club dined at the Brazos Grille located at the Hilton. Our group total was 22. I called the week before to make arrangements. My contact person was Patrick and he could not have been more helpful and assuring that they would be glad to have our group dine with them and looked forward to seeing us. From the time we arrived to the time we left we were treated top notched. Our table set up was beautiful, the food was delicious, the staff was cheerfully accommodating, and the chef came to our table to welcome us. If one wants a nice atmosphere to have dinner and conversation this is the place. Our group raved about the whole experience and we will be doing this again. .
