Sorryhardto call it a classic gastropub. On another level, it's sort of a new American cafe, and in this particular vein of thinking, it certainly hits a lot of the high notes. The food is well-selected, with a smattering of farm-to-table plates, various proteins, and the classic pub selection of small bites. I really like the outdoor patio. The swamp coolers help to make the area hospitable even in the middle of the summer. I sat outside by myself, not too far from one of those blasting humidifiers, and enjoyed a nice cold beer and a delicious burger. My server was incredibly kind and very attentive. I think, in the long run, what I would most consider Milo to be is a restaurant that has a bar, that serves primarily farm-to-table delicious food. Yeah, that-seems to sum-it all-up. Oh, and the service is excellent.

When the other hostess asked us if we wanted to sit outside, we politely declined. After that, the hostess's attitude toward us noticeably changed. I overheard her telling the other hostess that we could "go somewhere else." I found this very disrespectful and unprofessional. We completely understood the wait time and were willing to wait; we simply preferred to sit inside. Customers should not be made to feel unwelcome simply because they decline outdoor seating. I hope management addresses this, because the food and overall service were good, but this interaction negatively affected our experience.

The pita had good flavor but the lamb tasted more like birria taco meat versus Greek food. The pita was also very soft and didn't hold up well. Fast forward to this evening's attempt. I ordered a chicken gyro, feta fries and a piece of baklava. My fries were literally burnt fries with shredded feta and pretty inedible. The baklava top layer was fine but the bottom layer of the phyllo was burnt, but overall soggy. The most disappointing was the gyro. It was filled with old onions that smelled as soon as I opened the box. I attempted to take them all off and salvage it with tzatziki sauce but after one bite the old onion flavor completely ruined the entire thing. So there went $20. I think this place has some potential and maybe in the future I'll try again, but buying food to literally throw it away was not on the agenda I will say the two stars are due to the two young ladies who assisted me at the restaurant. They were very polite during the ordering process.

I also had some chicken orzo soup, which when it first came out was tepid in temperature. However, the team snapped to action and, reheated it promptly. All in all everyone in my party enjoyed their food. Fortunately, we beat the lunch rush and did not have to wait very long to get our food and seats were ready available. The vibe inside was rustic and warm and the staff was friendly and polite! (It's possible to be friendly without being polite, but this crew really hit the mark)

Oh, you've gotta check out this awesome spot! It's not just cool; they've got top-notch customer service that makes you feel right at home. And let's talk about the menu--it's seriously fantastic! The portions are so satisfying, and everything tastes absolutely delicious. Whether you're into salads or sandwiches, they nail it every time. Plus, the prices won't break the bank, which is always a win in my book.

Nestled just off the beaten path near a slightly industrial area of Waco, I discovered an…read moreunexpected gem, Cajun Craft. I was staying near Waco for a few days, but the area I was in had very limited choices for food. So, I looked up some nearby restaurants in Waco, and found Cajun Craft. It was worth the drive in from where I was staying. From the outside, it doesn't look like much: small parking lot, rusted roof, etc. However, I have found that often conceals some of the best places. An immediate friendly greeting was offered at the door and I was surprised by the quaint setting. There were only a few tables near the bar, but there was a covered patio attached and even more seating outside. The menu offered most of the traditional Cajun dishes at a modest price, but I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the Atchafalaya Catfish, a catfish filet over a bed of rice smothered in crawfish Étouffée. It was amazing. The Étouffée was rich and hearty, with the perfect spice level, maybe the best I have had west of Baton Rouge. The catfish was crisp and golden, giving a great balance to the creamy Étouffée. If you are ever in the Waco area and have a craving for some authentic Cajun cuisine, you must give Cajun Crafts a visit.

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.

(Tl:Dr at bottom) The restaurant itself is very charming. The service was done with a smile. The problem came when I was handed my bag to-go. It felt LIGHT. I rewound in my head to recall the price of my meal. $15.50. I said "there can't be a sandwich in this container. Somethings missing." To my surprise there was a sandwich inside the container. The smallest Reuben sandwich I've ever laid eyes upon. Astonished I asked the counter lady "is this the $15 version or is this a half order or something?" She called for the manager. The manager assured me that this was $15.50 worth of food because "there's chips and a pickle." The sandwich, while delicious, was a mess. It's a Reuben, to be expected. Do they give you napkins? Nope. They put a sticker on the Togo box though, which is charming but, a waste of their overhead. The chips were almost stale, but not quite. Obviously poured from a large bag arbitrarily into the Togo container. Nothing to note of the pickle. This was not a $15.50 meal. The place was empty, and now I know why. Rather than being seen as an alternative to a chain deli restaurant right down the street this place is viewed as a more expensive option. And in today's economy that's not a winning strategy. This business could learn something from the recent pricing scenario that Doritos went through. They raised prices, likely to keep their margin as high as possible while production costs rise, and instead of taking in the profits they saw consumers leave their chips on the shelf in search of cheaper options. Are they still the best flavored chips on the market, arguable but likely. But what they did after the backlash was to lower prices and therefore gain volume sales, which makes the margin less relevant. This business is likely failing. No deli should be empty at 11am. That's lunch time, and deli sandwiches are a staple meal for lunch in America. This business will be gone, sadly, and in its place a 5 guys burgers will eventually take its place. At least they'll avoid putting a sticker on the Togo container and likely give you a napkin or two. The cost difference is probably staggering. Tl:Dr overpriced little sandwich.

The portion was ok-a lot of rice a couple bits of protein with a squirt of the sriracha ranch which was 'totally mild' as advertised.
