First let me start by saying that I typically go out of my way to support small businesses. So,…read morewhen I saw Gus' Deli, with a 4.8 star rating, I knew I couldn't resist stopping in. (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.

We ordered a cheeseburger and fries and the BBQ plate special with bread pudding. The hamburger was made with freshly ground meat on the grill. Very juicy and tasty! Fries were homemade and perfect. Best burger I've had in a while. BBQ was good and pinto beans were excellent. Topped it off with coconut meringue pie. Yum!! Very cute little cafe with friendly waitress and excellent cooks. Wish it were closer to home but if in the area, it's a definite repeat.

Nice "country diner" menu, burgers, CFS, etc. Ordered the CFS w/ mashed potatoes and green beans, and the Hop Queen had the catfish w/ okra. Nice home cooked take on the sides, the green beans and the okra were stand out. Everything came out quick, very filling. Paid up at the front, no tablet with pre loaded tip "suggestions". Like I said, old time. Gotta love a place with Elvis Tribute Show flyers up! Highly recommended!

After seeing all of that, I had to try out Griffs for myself! I got the catfish, shrimp, fried okra and onion rings. It was so much food, I enjoyed the okra, onion rings and fish it all tasted great. I didn't really enjoy the hush puppies because they were deep fried a bit too hard for my liking, and the shrimp just didn't hit the spot for me, but it definitely had a nice crunch. I would definitely come back to try more

We visited Griff's this morning for breakfast, and it was a huge disappointment…read more My husband ordered the steak and eggs. The steak was rubbery--cooked on the outside but red and underdone in the middle. The hash browns were mostly burnt and inedible. The sausage was unevenly cooked--one side was brown, the other side was burnt and crispy. His eggs were just okay, and the drink was fine. I ordered the chicken fried chicken plate. The pancakes were two different sizes--one was burnt and left a bitter taste in my mouth for over 30 minutes. The chicken had no flavor at all and was soaked in greasy oil that tasted like it had been reused to fry fish and everything else. My eggs were inconsistent--one almost over hard, the other closer to over medium. What made it worse is that no one even asked how the food was. Normally, when we pay, they ask. I was waiting, because I was ready to be honest--it was disgusting. We won't be returning for breakfast if she is cooking. I've been here before and the food was good, but I don't know what happened today. Actually, I do--it was the cook. The food was nothing like what Griff's usually serves. -- Disappointed Customer 7/9/25

I was in town working at an event when we stumbled across Parks Family Buffet. I'm happy we decided…read moreto stop by because it was a great home-cooked experience. All of the food was fresh, and the best part was the chicken, but I enjoyed everything that I put on my plate. They also have some really good peach cobbler (which is even better when you put some soft serve on top). To top it off, everyone was so nice and welcoming. If I'm ever in Waco again, you can bet I'll be stopping by at Parks.

I ordered a plate of mixed fajitas that were absolutely gross, both the chicken and the beef. But…read morethe beef was particularly bad. I was surprised when it came out in under 10 minutes, Even asking the waitress, "already?". It was obvious it was precooked and stored, the flavor was undeniable. It tasted old. had that cooked in old oil flavor. Rock a deep fryer hasn't been changed out in a month absolutely no seasoning or marinade that I can tell. It was very off-putting. I sat there for a few minutes arguing with myself whether I was going to say anything or not. The waitress saw that I was displeased. when I very politely told her that the food tasted terrible she called over a lady who immediately became dismissive, rude and eventually argumentative. I asked for a manager, she stated, "Well, I'm the owner." She lied, swore up and down the food was fresh, lied again, claiming she had that very dish herself that day, as if just moments before I walked in the door) and that they have had no complaints. she refused to take it back and let me order something else. she stood there lording over me. basically, too bad so sad You're going to pay for it anyway. I left the whole plate on the table. I will never be back.
