    Our food was good, but not great. The corn and green bean both clearly came from a can. The chicken fried steak, their version of pinto beans, and the bread pudding were good. George's has plenty of seating. The layout is interesting. They have multiple rooms, a spacious patio, and a bar. The restaurant was clean. Our server was attentive and friendly. Prices were reasonable. Portions were large. Food presentation is a bit lacking.

    Oh boy catfish and chicken fried steak, okra, beans and Mac and cheese

    After visiting Texas Ranger Musuem in the morning, we had to eat lunch somewhere and we chose this very popular crowded restaurants with at least 3 bars and 5 dinning rooms, including the outside patio. Waco, Texas is great place to spend an entire day here which is great. After lunch had enough time to visit Dr Pepper Musuem, Branding the Brazos sculptures by the bridge and WWII Doris Miller, Navy statue. It was worth the wait, everyone talking and eating enjoying themselves. Food came and everything was delicious. This would be a nice town to stay overnight. I took a photo of the Silos in the distance because too tired and ran out of time and had to drive back to Austin where our hotel was. This is a gem of a restaurant to save money and nice place to hang out. We tried coming back here on Easter for lunch, but they close during this holiday.

    My father and I stopped here for lunch while driving to Fort Worth. I have seen this restaurant on a YouTube Tube video. The place was busy but we were seated within 10 minutes. The menu had a lot of items but we both tried the chicken fried steak. I had macaroni and cheese and fried okra for my sides. My father had green beans and the sweet potato casserole for his sides. All was great and the service was good. The Chicken Fried stake had good flavor however the breading came off really easy. Price wise it was not bad. If in Waco you should give George's a try.

    The food here is great, but I wanted some of their amazing onion rings to munch on for my drive to Ft Worth. I walked in to order, and it took sooooooooo long to get them. I literally waited 25 minutes. They also have some t-shirts for sale in the front waiting area, I think I memorized them all waiting. Lol Maybe ordering ahead is a better option, because they were not even busy inside and like 4 people were standing up front chatting. But,they were super delicious as always. A full order can feed a lot of folks. The stars are for the food only, not the service but I know the front has nothing to do with the cook time.

    CFS, Mac & fried okra with creamed gravy.  The okra was delicious!

    Chicken Fried Chicken & Fried Okra

    My family & I were visiting Waco & stopped for lunch at George's. When you walk in the smell is amazing!! The servers were also ready with a warm welcome. We had a party of 7 & it didn't take long to get seated. Our server was attentive. Always made sure we had drinks & keeping up with our order. The food took a long time to come out so they gave us rolls to hold us over. (This is why I took a star away). They were VERY good! I haven't had chicken fried chicken in a long time and really enjoyed it as well as the side salad & the fried okra was soooo good!! I tried my mom's fries, they were okay. She really enjoyed the chicken fried steak & the rest of our family really enjoyed their food too. I would definitely go back & recommend trying George's!

    I've been here to drink and I've been here to eat and both times it was spot on. This restaurant, right off of I-35 is some of the best food that I think you can find in Waco. Keep in mind it is the kind of food that is fried, gravy, real butter, ranch and all of those things that us Southerners know that we shouldn't eat in abundance, but still crave. You can also come here and have a great time at the bar with beer and cocktails. The staff here has always been above and beyond friendly. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a laid-back easy restaurant to come and have a good meal or a good time.

    Cadillac Burger
    Garret F.

    This restaurant was recommended by a friend and glad she did. I ordered the Cadillac with the Akaushi beef. It came with three onion rings stacked inside the burger. I also ordered a side of onion rings and they come nice and crispy. Everyone on the table enjoyed them. Our server was amazing. You can tell by the staff's interaction with their patrons they had a steady source of repeat business. Go hungry and leave full. Btw the draft beers come in a frozen glass challis cup (their signature). Nice touch.

    Patty Melt, Anita's Sizzling Fajitas, Cheese Fries
    Lauren ..

    Very fast and friendly service! The food was fresh, my favorite items were the rolls, beef fajitas, and the cheese fries, which were all amazing. I'd say the portion sizes are very good here. For my entree, I had the patty melt. Honestly it wasn't my favorite, the meat wasn't the best, and I believe whataburger has better patty melts. My boyfriend had the chicken and beef fajitas with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The beef fajitas were delicious and flavorful, however the chicken was a bit dry so I'd recommend just getting beef. The mashed potatoes were good, but the mac and cheese wasn't anything amazing, Chick-fil-A has better mac. I'd come back and order different items to give this restaurant another try!

But if you're making a special trip just for the food, keep your expectations realistic.

It came with this amazing poppyseed dip that made it even better. We also ordered the cheese poppers with jalapeño ranch and definitely underestimated them.

We got the banana pudding meringue and absolutely demolished it. It's said to be one of the owner's mother's recipes.

In particular the deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts caught my eye, unfortunately the latter was sold out so I went with the sweet potato Both dishes I had were really good! The candied bacon paired really nicely with the creamy deviled egg, the hot sauce vinaigrette didn't add too much flavor, but honestly adding a significant amount of heat would've probably taken away from an already very tasty dish. The baked sweet potato on the other hand had a nice dose of heat from the Calabrian honey vinaigrette, the sweet heat combo worked really, I'm surprised I'd never come across a spicy sweet potato dish before, but I'll definitely have my eye out for it in the future Overall I had a very good experience and will definitely be back for future rest stop meals between Austin and Dallas!
