I can't say Alpha Omega is the best Greek food in Waco because I haven't tried the other places, but I love it so much that I don't need to! It's not the most friendly of places, but it doesn't really need to be. It's good food. It has a cute brick wall interior with paintings for sale hung all over the walls. During the day it's lit by sunlight and it's a wonderful place to grab lunch with friends. You can order takeout online via their website and it's super easy. I always get the chicken gyro here and I am in love with it. It's consistently good. Their Greek salad tastes great and fresh, and their fries are barely-there-crispy on the outside and soft inside. I've also tried the Pesto Chicken, which is amazing. The gyros are very fairly priced at just under $6, making this a great place to grab lunch! I also like their drink machines, I've made a nice raspberry lemonade tea by combining a few things. I haven't tried any of the desserts, but they all look amazing and fresh! Definitely give this place a shot! read more

The images posted online looked amazing! I really should have read the reviews prior to stopping in, however. I got the shrimp gyro, it was so salty, so, so, soooooo salty. And I ordered the cheese balls. I could see the cheese pull but didn't taste one shred of cheese or mint. It tasted like fried dough and grease. My friend ordered a fish gyro, her's was super salty as well. She also ordered feta fries, the fries were so over cooked I joked she was eating potato jerky. Again just tasted like oil. She also purchased a strawberry frappe, no flavor or sweetness. Just iced milk tasting. I usually give places two tries because anyone can have an off day. I can say I will not be returning. Save your money and blood pressure and go elsewhere. read more

Pita was amazing when warm. Quantity wise the gyros are worth the price, but they lack seasoning. Fries are soggy, but have a good taste profile. Service was quick. Ambiance is fine. read more

really enjoy the environment but the lamb gyro was meh. I expected an authentic lamb gyro but instead received what tasted like brisket. the naan was a little dry and cold, I would have preferred it to be softer and warmer. the food was just okay! read more

Alpha Omega Mediterranean food that is delicious and at a good price. Very popular with the students and not far from the Baylor campus. Can't go wrong with the lamb or beef gyros. I am not a drinker, but there are lots of selections on tap and bottles. Cheers, this is a nice go to for students and non students read more

The best Mediterranean/lebanese food in Waco and near the Dallas/ft worth area. I love it. I have driven on a weekend from Irving all the way there just to eat there. The food is so fresh and perfect every time. The desserts are pricey but soooo good. read more

Don't go on a Tuesday! Food review - The food wasn't bad. I'd recommend doubling down on the shrimp if that's your only option or first choice. FYI - I was recommended this place from a local partner assigned to the Waco office. Stopped by for dinner and ordered a ribeye gyro. Turned out that the cashier didn't know they were out, so I ordered a chicken gyro. That too was out. I asked for a recommendation based on what's available. He offered his favorite, a pork gyro. I accepted, only to find out they were out of that as well. I asked for anything meat wise and was given the option of chickpeas or shrimp. I went with the meat option (shrimp). read more

The food was amazing!!! The pita was so thick and soft and fluffy! The cheesesteak was delicious. We will be making the drive from the DFW metroplex just for this food again! read more

~ what I got ~ classic pork gyro ($6.95) - with tzatziki sauce, tomato, parsley & onions a side of fries ($2.50) spanakopita ($4.95) - spinach, feta, mozzarella in phyllo dough ~ thoughts ~ i thought the food was relatively yummy - there was a generous portion of pork inside; the pita was soft. i never had spanakopita - so that was interesting to try, maybe a bit too oily for me. the restaurant was relatively spacious on the inside and there was ample of outside seating. read more

Great food and always amazing service. I used to always get the chicken kabob gyro but they don't do it anymore. The beef one is still great! I do wish they have more than 4 little slices of pita when you get hummus and pita, there is always so much extra hummus. Great desserts too! read more

Two friends and I had lunch here yesterday. I had the beef souvlaki, one friend had chicken souvlaki and the other had pork gyro. Food was excellent, service was good and the restaurant was clean. Will definitely return. (Also, one friend got the baklava to go - said is was very good.) read more

Love the lamb gyro and that it's real shredded lamb not the typical processed gyro meat. The spanakopita is the best I've ever had. My whole family loves the feta fries, usually get a plate to share for the family. On god fr no cap. read more

Great place to satisfy your Mediterranean craving. You order at the counter, we found a place for us to sit and called our order. You eat and they'll clean up after your table. I ordered the grilled chicken thigh with rice, sauteed veggies, and broccoli. The cream sauce on the side was really good. I would come back again. read more

Our go to date night spot in Waco! You have to try the chicken gyro, it will change your life! Amazing food and service for a great price. read more

Always good food. Local and tasty. Pita is great and well as the chicken. Will eat here again soon.

It's definitely not real Greek food. It's kind of like if McDonald's started making Greek food. Nothing tastes like it has the right ingredients. read more

I highly recommend this place! I came because a friend suggested and he was just right! I had the grilled salmon and not just the taste but the size was perfect! The price is also good! I asked to exchange my broccoli for grilled veggies and this combination was killer! If you ever come to Waco you need to come here! read more

I never leave reviews but felt I needed to for this. My husband and I were super excited to try this place and were completely let down. The food we got here was almost inedible. We ordered fried chickpea gyro with feta fries, lamb gyro with feta fries, spanakopita, the dip trio which was hummus, olive dip and tzatziki, and baklava cheesecake. The fried chickpeas were so soft almost undercooked. The lamb was very dry. The spanakopita was soggy and so salty I had to spit it out. The worst was the fries though, paid and extra $3.50 a piece for fries that were so hard, old and inedible. The cheesecake was also hard and dry. The pita bread was nice and soft and the hummus and tzatziki were flavorful. That's it. read more

Went to tour Baylor with our daughter and tried this place out. Workers did not want to be there. Poor customer service. Food looked presentable but when we tasted our lamb gyro it tasted like beef. Since we paid extra for 3 lamb gyros we went and asked and they told us it was definitely lamb. I might not be an expert but it was definitely shredded beef. Don't charge 3.50 extra for lamb and then give us beef. Not going back. read more

I like this healthy place. It's Greek with a twist, but still authentically still able to stay Greek. They have baklava and galaktoboureko as well as baklava cheesecake and stuff. They have dolmades, moussaka, and other Greek dishes. And yes, they of course have gyros too, which I frown upon since I truly believe they should stay in the drive thru or take-out domain and have no place in restaurants but that's my opinion against what is commonly seen. I've had the moussaka and it was tasty and complemented nicely with a fresh salad which was prepared nicely. I've also had the fish gyro, against my inner will, since I've hardly seen fish gyro anywhere else and it was also tasty - reminiscent of a fish taco but prepared with Alaskan pollock (better than tilapia). The fish gyro tasted better than my friend's pricier lamb gyro, I should add (but the beef/chicken might be better than the lamb as well). The desserts are a hit and miss but because of the uniqueness of these desserts, I would still advise people to try them out. If it's a miss, it is usually not that far off the mark. Pricing is great, parking is plentiful, atmosphere is casual and spacious. This has become one of my usual stop along the I-35 corridor. Even for coffee, they prepare it well here. read more

This review is based on a pick up/to go order. Pick up experience. We ordered several meals and was given an estimated time for pick up. When we went to pick up the food, they had given it to someone else. So we had to wait another 20-25 minutes for our order. Food. I had a salad which was good and everyone else enjoyed their meals (gyros and hummus/pita). I might give this place another try when we come back to visit, but not for a pick up order though. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. Fast and friendly service. Mediterranean Decor throughout with some nice pleasant music playing in the background. Ordered the chicken gyro with a side of chickpea balls and olive dip with pita bread. Everything tasted good a great experience overall. read more

3 stars for me means that I won't be back, but it is interesting enough that you should try it. This place really is different, but the flavors may be too complex for my palate The restaurant is in a large space. You order at the counter. They have many pita wraps and protein selections. I opted for the lamb, which was both dry and mushy at the same time. The seasoning was off and nothing like what I have eaten at any other Mediterranean restaurant. It was disappointing. At one point, I said out loud to myself, "Why am I still eating this?" I did like the pita bread a lot and the portions are huge. I also ordered the "Greek" salad, which had a sickeningly sweet syrupy honey and balsamic vinegar sauce. They were kind enough to switch out for the Greek pasta "salad," a healthy serving of dense pasta in a sundried tomato sauce with garnish. Really wish I stuck with the candied salad. There is a case of familiar sounding baked goods that is filled with unrecognizable concoctions; I didn't get any, but I did take a piece of baklava to go. Fingers crossed. read more

The food left much to be desired. Got the chicken puff pie and the bottom was chewy and tasted like it had been microwaved. The chicken inside was very dry. The fries were okay, had lots of grease though. Also had the tiramisu, which looked pretty but did not taste great. It was chewy as well, and not very much flavor. Probably won't be back as it's not worth the price for this food. read more

Never had Greek food in my life but this was probably the best into I could have hoped for. Everything here was good and tasted super fresh, even though it was busy the food was also extremely fast. The inside is pretty cool and just feels relaxing, I will absolutely go again. read more

Not a fan of the no server style of restaurant Waco is churning out these days. Utter confusion and lack of welcoming environment. Someone could at least say "hello," for goodness sakes. Didn't eat here. read more

I don't find myself in that part of town too often, but when I found myself near Alpha Omega on a recent weekday afternoon I stopped in for a late lunch. With so many interesting choices it was tough to decide, but I chose the chicken souvlaki platter. The portion size was generous, the veggies were fresh, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. I definitely plan to return soon. read more

We loved it. Just got into town and wanted to stop for an early lunch. Our group had three different gyros, spanakopita, the Greek salad, hummas with vegetables. We would go again read more

Some of the best Greek food I've ever had! Great portions for the cost. We enjoyed the chicken souvlaki plate and the Philly cheesesteak gyro. Both were soooooo good. The pita bread is melt in your mouth. We were only in town for the weekend and sad that I can't have this every day at home. Would highly recommend. Yum!! read more

So yum!!!! Cutest vibe inside. Could be coffee shop but also a lunch vibe if you want. I got the pork gyro with the feta fries and cheese balls and absolutely love. Best gyro I've ever had. read more

Wanted something different and love Greek. This is fast casual with everything scratch made and absolutely delicious. I had veggie hummus wrap. Very flavorful and packed with veggies. I also had Greek lemon chicken soup. The absolutely best I have ever had. I don't think I could make it any better! Jeff and Shirley each had chicken gyro chicken was tender and veggies flavorful in a home made pita bread. Greek fries piled with feta cheese. That salty savory taste. Of course couldn't leave without spanokopita. Phyllo crispy and buttery and spinach and feta center also flavorful. With a dollop of tzatziki just made it even better. Highly recommend if you are in downtown Waco. read more

Always good food. Locally owned too! Their Greek food is delicious (it helps that they're Greek) and the owner went to culinary school as well, so its not just someone throwing food onto a plate. read more

I ordered the beef tenderloin souvlaki plate and my girlfriend ordered the grilled fish, salad, and babaghanoush. We also got the feta fries. Everything was outstanding and the food came out quickly and hot. I highly recommend this place. read more

We've been in Waco for over a year now, and I can honestly count on one hand of good places to eat. This is one of them! Highly recommend! We will be back. read more

My daughter and I both enjoyed our meals here. The "chickpea balls" are their version of a falafel, which my daughter loves. I usually don't get falafel because I find it to be dense and dry, but their chickpea balls were not dry at all. They were crispy on the outside yet almost "fluffy" on the inside. Yum! We both enjoyed the pita a lot as well. Service was quick and friendly, the place was clean and airy, and prices were reasonable. read more

So good! Not much real Mediterranean in Waco but THIS!! It's the spot for sure. Hummus and Gyros are delicious and the Baklava is so authentic read more
