Don't sleep on Surf N Soul!!! This place is truly amazing. I love seafood, but it's so hard to find…read moregreat authentic seafood in Waco. I'm excited to know that I have a dedicated spot in the area now. I ordered Fried Fish and Fried Rice. It took exactly 15 minutes to be prepared and served to me. The hospitality/customer service was genuine and friendly. My food was fresh and hot. But most importantly, it was delicious, flavorful, and fulfilling. The fish was battered like chicken, seasoned to perfection, and it's real!! The fried rice is definitely my favorite I love how that was seasoned as well, it taste like rice you could get from a hibachi grill. I definitely will keep coming back. I feel like way more people should know about Surf N Soul and check it out. They did not disappoint at all!

Da-yuumm! On the way to Oklahoma, on I-35 we stopped at this unassuming southern eatery and were…read morenot expecting our minds to be blown away by the fabulous quality of Cajun food. We liked the food so much that we stopped here on the way back from OK We got the fried shrimp basket and shrimp poboy the first time and got the Boom boom Shrimp starter, Atchafalaya Etoufee and, Gumbo and rounded it off with Beignets the second time on Mother's day. Food is absolutely delish. Not visiting this place should be a felony

RATING - 3.65 Cajun…read moreCraft is found just off of one of the main roads that's runs along Waco. Off its first appearance, the restaurant appears as your classic no-frills, get-what-you-asked for establishment. There is lots of outdoor seating, very fair pricing, and a surprisingly extensive menu; I doubt you'll fail to find something you enjoy here. Overall it seemed like a location that would be bumping in conjunction with Baylor college nights, post church service, or otherwise Waco-oriented affairs. My only complaint was really the smell. We came near close when some workers were cleaning, however there was an apparent chemical stench within the patio, between the inside seating and outdoor seating. My partner ordered the sausage po boy, while I ordered the fried chicken plate, wish mashed potatoes & gravy + green beans. The wait was rather long, which can be attributed towards the chicken's cook time - which might be front scratch. After we got our plates, I certainly couldn't complain. The chicken was decently sized and decadent with flavor. Consistent, strong Cajun spicing littered the tray and chicken, while its interior was extremely juicy and filled with flavor; additionally, it still maintained structure and provided a nice crunch on the surface. The mashed potatoes were equally as enjoyable. The gravy complemented the potatoes well, and established an equilibrium through texture. The green beans however, were not my favorite. They initially appeared fine on the surface, but became watered down and lacking in flavor the farther down the bowl you went. I would not be surprised if these beans were canned. I would certainly find myself eating here again. Its biggest appeals are the prices, genuine quality of food, and disposition. It is not perfect, but it is more than satisfactory. If you cannot get over the minor inconveniences that you may run into here, then you probably shouldn't be eating Cajun anyways.

We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server came right to the table to grab our drink order. She was very kind and returned with drinks and the much adored biscuits quickly! While we were chatting and munching on the biscuits the manager was making rounds in the dining area-he was kind and we enjoyed our chat with him. My daughter got the Mariner's Boil includes a Maine lobster tail, snow crab legs, a dozen shrimp, red potatoes, and corn. She got the Garlic butter flavor. She said it was really good-would order again and ate every single thing in the bag! She was pleasantly surprised to have two lobster tails. I had the fish and chips, hard for me to pass on a good cod and my dinner was super tasty. Their coleslaw and tartar sauce had great flavor also.
