There is something different about this Braum's…read more After 35 years in the metroplex, I'm very familiar with Braum's as a restaurant and a grocery spot. We love Braum's milk for its flavor (exactly the same after the A2 switch, btw!) and improved nutrient profile. We love being able to run in and grab a couple of essentials from the grocery section (although we miss when they used to hand you milk gallons out of the drive-through window--ancient history, right?!). We enjoy the burgers and the thick crinkle-cut fries, and we adore the ice cream, which is the absolute best bang for your buck in addition to being excellent. But one thing we have never, ever loved about Braum's is the service. Typically, Braum's hires a bunch of teens and older folks who seem like they'd rather be anywhere else. I have considered shoplifting gallons of milk before for the way I've been ignored standing at the checkout for minutes and minutes. If they would team up with Chick-fil-A for employee training, they could run the ice cream world. But there's something different about this location! The people who served our family were HAPPY. They SMILED. They got our orders right and they seemed genuinely happy to have us there. I came back to the counter after we got our food and was immediately tended to cheerfully, then while I waited another employee asked if I had been helped. I was almost speechless. This is far and away the best service I have ever had at a Braum's. Not only did I jump on Yelp and drop a five-star rating asap, but I also spoke to the shift leader to tell him what a good thing they have going here. I'm so glad for the chance to say something positive about our family favorite burger joint! Other Braum's locations should take notes!

I didn't realize that the #Magnolia properties are closed on Sunday, so I found other fun ways to get the Waco hospitality from the moment I arrived. I was actually glad that I got to see the town for what it is a few days before people traveled there from all over for #Silobration. I look forward to returning to Waco for a longer visit! I found this gem while on a Waco City Tour. They gave the tour participants the choice of coffee or ice cream and we unanimously chose ice cream. This place is so charming and their ice cream is so delicious, I will always return whenever I come back to Waco. I chose a small scoop and that was the perfect amount. While visiting Texas, I had to choose the Brown Butter TX pecan flavor. Having just said that the small was the perfect size, the next time I go back I will probably double up so that I can try more flavors since I don't get there that often. After we got our ice cream we did walk next door to the coffee shop which instantly made me wish I were in college at Baylor because what a cool yard to sit and gather with friends, study, or catch a show! Here's an idea, grab ice cream at Heritage and coffee next door for the best affogato! Can't wait to go back!

She told us the top seller for ice cream was Texas Praline and for Gelato was salted caramel. Her favorites respectively were coffee almond fudge and cookie butter. Free samples! My wife and I were big fans of the cookie butter and ended up getting that. Our friends liked the espresso, peanut butter chocolate, strawberry sorbet. About $5 after tax for a single scoop. Biggest bang for your buck would be a waffle cone. Cannot overstate the decorations and the obvious passion of the owner. Even the bathroom was very spirited. Would definitely recommend if you're in town!

It was obvious that one man sitting nearby was a regular, since she called him by name, That seemed like a good sign! My husband ordered chicken strips, fries and green beans. I ordered the liver and onions (which I can seldom find), their "Czech fries," (with a menu description of special seasoning), and green beans. The food arrived fairly promptly, and immediately I was perplexed. The chicken tenders looked like pre-formed frozen patties, very flat. The green beans were loaded with onions, which my husband hates, and he never would have ordered if he'd known that. He immediately slid his bowl of beans over to me. My Czech "fries" were definitely not fries. They were essentially scalloped potatoes with sliced onions. They tasted fine, but whatever special seasoning they used was hard to taste. I do have to say that the liver was delicious, perfectly cooked, and the cream gravy I requested was the perfect addition. My husband said his chicken strips tasted ok, but they were certainly not the type of strips we're used to from local restaurants. My overall opinion is that this is a place that's been there a long time, locals are used to eating there and comfortable with being recognized, and don't care that the interior just looks tired and dated. It wasn't a bad experience, but we wouldn't make another 88-mile trip back to West just to eat there.

Everyone was RIGHT. We had a wonderful experience at this Soda Shop and our taste buds just cannot forget the delicious shakes we had here. On one side of the restaurant is a small, old school diner-style seating area, and on the other is miscellaneous merchandise for sale. It was colorful, lively and the aroma of ice cream and waffle cones was overwhelmingly good. The staff behind the counter were so nice to us and shared their recommendations. I decided to order the "Raspberry Nutella Shake." It was exactly what it sounds like--ice cream, raspberry, and Nutella all in one. SO. DELICIOUS. I highly recommend it. It was creamy, sweet, and just perfect. It came topped with whipped cream and a cherry. We cannot wait to come back the next time we're in town and also can't wait to tell our friends and family who would go to Glen Rose to make sure they make a stop here! Thank you Shoo-Fly!!
