Where to eat in Waco

[baboon]

Looks like I’m heading to Waco tomorrow to Department of Motor Vehicles. I lucked out in seeing if a neighbor wanted to go along for the ride. He said he’s been meaning to go to Builders Square or Lowe’s. He said that he would drive his truck as to load what he wants.

The big thing is I said I’d buy lunch but have absolutely no idea what’s there to eat in Waco. I really don’t want bbq, a burger is fine if it’s an exceptional burger. I really would mind Vietnamese, Thai, or a great pizza joint.

You should go on up the road to West and get yourself some yummy Czech Stop

What is your starting point? Anywhere near Centerville? Woody’s Smokehouse?

No I’m north of Centerville, on Lake Limestone.

My grandparents owned a section of land in Limestone County when I was a spud.

I’ve located their former property on Google Earth and I’m planning a trip out that way soon to see it for the first time in over 50 years.

I plan a stop at Woody’s Smokehouse as part of the deal.

Sorry I can’t recommend an eating place. I doubt Sattler’s Store is still in Thornton.

We’re mostly just passing thru town so not super knowledgeable about the area, but Twisted Root has some pretty amazing burgers…we try to stop by there when we’re heading to SA or Austin.

Pizza: Poppa Rollos. Two locations, Woodway and Valley Mills Drive in Waco proper. Both are exceptional.

Viet: Clay Pot near the Baylor Campus. Also a good Thai place near the Hilton (Bangkok Royal).

Burger/American Food: George's in Woodway or on I-35 near 18th St. in Waco. Also, Lone Star Steakhouse in Bellmead.

Enjoy the trip.....

You really don't like him do you?

Czech stop is the tourist trap to keep them out of Gerik's.

El Conquistador for texmex.

Kitok's for a great burger (caveat - haven't been there is some time).

Schmaltz's for a great sandwich on fresh baked bread (far better than Schlotzky's).

Stay away from Heitmiller's. Was the best chicken fried steak around when at the original location in Elm Mott under the original owner. Has gone steadily downhill under new ownership at the new location.

Pizza: Slow Rise Slice House. Far better than Rollos.

Fuego Tortilla Grill, 1524 I 35 N Frontage Rd S, Waco, TX 76706. One of the best places to eat in Waco.

I'll second papa rollos pizza, but go to the one on Valley mills. It has a secret bar in the back. Up front it's little rascals and a game room, but at the end of the hallway with bathrooms is a pay phone. The wall it's on is a door to the back room.

George's has two locations in Waco. A variety of great food at both locations.

Is George O's still the game day hangout? If so OP might get to see some nice eye candy.
