Ye Olde Fish & Chips
Brooke D.

This is such an awesome sports bar and grill! Came here for a quick lunch with some coworkers and really loved the vibe of this spot. This bar is huge and I can only imagine how fun it is on game days. I got the fish and chips and they were great! My coworkers' food looked very good as well and the service was fast! Definitely recommend!

Had lunch today and ordered the 3AM Burger, loaded fries, and a mimosa tower, and wow, everything was absolutely incredible. The food came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. Every bite was fire. There are so many great menu options to choose from, it was honestly hard to decide. Shoutout to Harry, our waiter, he was amazing! Friendly, quick, and super attentive, which really elevated the whole experience. From the food to the service, this was an all-around fantastic lunch. Can't wait to come back!

Beer at Cricket's, Waco
Bruce K.

On a Sunday afternoon, a place to sit at the bar and sip at a beer while charging electronics. This place is absolutely "family friendly" and I could tell by the kids that were hyped up on Coke running about with the occasional piercing scream from a four year old blonde girl. As well, the scraping of chairs on the concrete floor were grating. I did sit for about 20 minutes before the bartender noticed I was here, which was fine. If I wanted to place an order, I could have waved her down. Beer was flat - Southern Roots Alico - but I didn't really want it anyway. I bought it to "pay" for my space and get my laptop and phone from 15% to 80%. Oh, and I was never able to get the wifi to work. Hooray for my hotspot. Burgers and other appetizers looked good. The waitress in the section near the bar was definitely moving to keep folks satisfied. So maybe next time I try a full meal (other than the noise).

Definitely a good, casual spot! Out second time here and the food was good! Our server Colin was definitely overwhelmed, but he was solid nevertheless. Will definitely come again. They also have great weekday deals. Would recommend their burgers and nachos.

This was a nice, casual dining place. The world-series was on to watch! The peanutbutter-bacon burger was incredible!

Cold beers and a bar atmosphere. Like the onion rings a lot, and I usually avoid them.

This was my college bar! I had never seen so many beers on tap. I minored in the shuffleboard tables.

Came here with friends and had a great time. The place was packed but they still treated us with…read moregreat customer service and we were able to find a table with no issue. The vibe is very laid back and chill. The food was really good, we had a couple kids meals (cheeseburgers), a BYOB and I got the Gosh Jam It Burger and added Fried Onions, Bacon and Chipotle Sauce. The burger was yummy and the flavors blended well! We also enjoyed an order of fried pickles at the table along with samples of their free flavored pickles not pictured. All in all we enjoyed ourselves, the crowd was lively and the kids said this is their new favorite burger place so we will be back again!

The place is really dark on the inside so I would have preferred more light. I thought the service…read morewas really good from the time of ordering until walking out. I ordered the fried pickles and I thought they would come out as an appetizer, but they were put next to the burger as a side so I was disappointed in that. The fried pickles were way too thick for my liking although they were breaded well. What's neat about this place is the variety of different flavored pickles that they have in the corner for you to eat. I really did like that!! There's a bar in the center of the floor and although I didn't get anything from the bar, I did like the setup. The burger itself was okay. Not spectacular, but not the worst. Would I eat here again? I think I would.

We came to Waco to pick up my daughter from Baylor, and our group was looking for a good dinner…read morespot. Pizza by the river sounded perfect! After reading some mixed reviews, I was a little nervous about trying this place, but since my daughter had been here before, we decided to give it a shot -- and I'm so glad we did. The restaurant was very busy that night, and the staff let us know upfront that our pizza could take up to an hour. To our surprise, it arrived in only about 30 minutes, which we really appreciated. The view of the river was absolutely incredible and made the whole experience amazing during the golden hour. While the pizza wasn't the best I've ever had, it was still good and definitely hit the spot. The atmosphere, scenery, and honest communication from the staff made for a really enjoyable evening.

This was a pretty average pizza place overall. I went in expecting a little better quality,…read moreespecially based on what I'd heard. My first impression wasn't great because the restaurant could use a more thorough cleaning. There were several open tables when we arrived, but all of them were still dirty and hadn't been cleared off yet, so we had to wait before we could sit down. As for the pizza, it's decent, but nothing particularly memorable. One thing they do get right is the ranch dressing, it was actually really good. That said, they bring out so much of it that it almost feels like they're encouraging you to cover up the flavor of the pizza. We also ordered some appetizers. Unfortunately, the fried mac and cheese bites were disappointing. The filling tasted very similar to boxed Kraft mac and cheese that had simply been breaded and deep-fried. I wouldn't order those again. One highlight is the outdoor patio overlooking the river. It's a great place to relax, enjoy the fresh air, and have a few beers with your pizza. Overall, this place has potential. If they focused more on cleanliness and improved the quality of some of the food, it could be a much better experience.
