      Food and service were amazing. Not gourmet, but solid home style cooking! We will return for sure when in the area!

      Came as a party of 2 during lunch on a weekday. We were sat immediately. Service was very friendly and prompt.

      We enjoyed our meal , prob would not order the pepper poppers again. We liked that it wasn't fried but it was very unflavored. Almost no seasoning or spices, we were left underwhelmed on an appetizer that has potential.

      Chicken fried steak was breaded and fried to perfection and the onion rings were crispy and the onion tender. We loved!

      Catfish was not the best, flavor and breading was great but it was hard to bite and very slim pieces of catfish, it was almost laughable.

      Okra and broccoli rice casserole was delicious.

      Prices were reasonable, would stop in again if in the area.

      I had thought George's was fancier than it is (not an issue, just a surprise) - I had previously only had George's via catering.

      We sat in the bar section - this was definitely noisy (on a Saturday mid-afternoon).

      I was debating on whether to give two or three stars...
      * Our food was very tasty (for the food alone I would give four stars). I had the chicken fried steak - while it wasn't amazing, it was pretty good, and I would order it again.
      * The service was where things went south. Two of the (4) orders at our table had small things wrong with the order. Unfortunately, the fourth order was straight up lost. When we first (politely) asked, the response we got was "I just bring the food." After talking with multiple people, the issue was finally resolved.

      I plan to try them again, but will wait for a while...

      I've forgotten to take a photo for you, but there are many already attached to the restaurant's page.

      It was a solid dining experience. Nothing spectacular, but it was good food and service. It didn't change the game in any ways, and honestly, I'm not sure how much work was put into the flavor profiling of individual meals, but it's still good.

      Check it out.

      Great place when we visit Waco. Our 1st time there we sat at the bar and last time was outside because we had our dog with us. We love the fried Jalapeños! All the other food we had was good too and decent prices. Service was okay - 1st had issues of getting to patio with dog stroller- but one of the waitresses helped me get down the stairs - then service was a bit slow - waited a while for items - but still good and we'll be back.

      On the patio - it has been pouring down rain  - might be how we actually got a table outside.
      Yummy fried Jalapeños!

      A return visit for us. This time sat in the big dinning area. Ask for the bar area, it has more charm.
      For starters Margaritas are good. Bread served good.
      I still ordered the small chicken fry but with mashed potatoes n gravy. You have to order corn , so very good
      Husband loved the Broccoli salad.
      They stay busy but service is good.
      We will continue coming when in town. I don't think you can go wrong and can find something good.

      The mural on the side of the restaurant caught my eye and gave me a sense of deja vu that I'd been here before. I honestly can't remember, but I'm definitely coming back. We had two waitresses because the first one left, but both were very attentive and friendly. Since this is Texas, I opted for the chicken fried chicken, but did so with reluctance. Fortunately it wasn't nearly as big or as filling as I anticipated. I mean that in a good way because I was reluctant to order a heavy meal. It was very good and came with two sides. The broccoli rice casserole was great, but the mac and cheese was a little dry and somewhat lacking.
      Our second waitress brought us extra drinks in to go cups.
      Will eat here again on my next trip to Waco.

      I came here on a recommendation from a friend who grew up in Waco. Ordered my food and 2 minutes later is was delivered to the table. I knew right then it wasn't cooked to order. It was barely Luke warm from sitting under the heat lamp. Damn steak was like a hockey puck. Took 4 bites and left. Save your money.

      Cold food.
