friendly service and delicious food today! i had the brisket skillet (pictured) and my husband had the shrimp and grits which he really enjoyed. wait time can tend to be longish but so worth it - it’s likely because people know this is one of the best places in waco to eat! we will be back again!

Customer service was great but the food was just okay. We really enjoyed the biscuits and variety of fruit spreads they provided, however the main dishes that we chose were not impressive.

We came during happy hour and were pleasantly surprised about the half price starters and $5 glasses of wine. All the apps were delicious (Brussels sprouts were 10/10) and the pork short rib entree with risotto was so tender & flavorful. One of the best meals we’ve had in a while. Very friendly and attentive service also, and we did not have to wait long for our food. Unfortunately we are visiting from North Carolina and will not be able to come back any time soon :(

Never been here before but heard good things. First of all I was greeted at the door with a smile which is rare these days. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Quick service too. My server Tori was awesome in recommending food and very knowledgeable about the dishes. One of the owners asked of if I was being cared for, she was also sweet. Food was definitely delicious and it was plentiful. I ordered the steak and eggs with potatoes. The chimichurri sauce was a perfect addition. Steak chunks were tender!
