    Monte Cristo
    Patricia O.

    Went there tonight for dinner. Delicious meal. Portions were kinda on the large size. Excellent service. Thumbs up for service, food, and price.

    Lemon Pepper Chicken
    Kristina H.

    It was My birthday yesterday so of course hubby surprised me with lunch from one of my fave restaurants! I'm having to be on a dairy free/soy free diet and the menu doesn't really specify either allergy, so I had to make my best guess this trip. Normally I'm a sucker for the Monte Cristo. This trip I ordered the lemon pepper chicken (it's grilled so I figured I was safe with no breading), sweet baby carrots and green beans. The croissants came out hot and I KNOW it wasn't the right thing to do but I devoured a whole one, SO stinking delicious. I'll pay for it later, but I'm not scared haha. Our server was Courtney, I told her I would give her a shoutout! Great service girl!! Keep up the service with a smile (I know you were exhausted though, you had ALOT going on and yet still managed to take care of refills). A++

    Chicken Pot Pie and Broccoli Cheese Casserole

    The food reminds me of someone's grandma making homemade things from scratch, real nice honey touch. The service was a little iffy, I was talking to my friend about her mom and the waiter comes over and says, "I like moms"... keep in mind he looked in his 20s. Idk. Weird. The restaurant was very nice but a little squished in the seating area. Overall food was great! But the service wasn't.

    cold half rack ribs, cheese hardened  on casserole.

    I am sorry to amend my ratings. We quit going to Cheddars for five years as we could not get waited on and did not even have a glass of water after 20 mins. We tried them again and it was very good and have been going fine in and out. Friday at 545 was our scheduled pick up time. It was 15 mins before we got our food and we were there at 530. The food was stone cold. The few tenders were for combo ribs cold and tough. Cheese on broccoli casserole so cold it had hardened into a clump. Carrots were floating on cold water. French fries on my husband's plate were cold and burnt. Shrimp MIGHT have been ok other than cold shrimp is cocktail shrimp not fried. Everything on all 3 plates were cold. The portions of everything scant Honey butter croissants I had asked for extra honey butter, barely had any on it. They were not only cold but stale. I mean dry in the middle stale. And after shelling out a little over $90 there should be good food and reasonable portions. The only thing positive I can say is that the portions were so bad you didn't want to eat

Had Steak & Frites and asked for my waitress to have the steak cooked medium. It was brought to me rare. They put us at a corner table literally 8 feet from the kitchen which was very noisy and hard for my wife and I to have a conversation. Waitress, service and food were all unacceptable. Will not be going back! For as much as they charge for lunch or dinner, you would expect better quality food and service. My wife had the Tomato and Peach salad and she complained that the salad had too much pink peppercorns.

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.

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.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed to choose a table of our preference. The waitress quickly came over and grabbed our drink order while we looked at the menu. We placed our order and the waitress was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. She also informed us they work as a team so we can stop anyone when/if we need something. We started with the "Burning Bush" appetizer (crispy Brussel sprouts w/ lemon garlic aioli). YUM! They had just the right bite to them, and the glaze on them paired with the aioli was delicious! For our entrees we had the Golden Calf Burger w/ sweet potato fries and sriracha aioli and The Weight of Glory Sandwich w/ broccoli slaw. They were both incredibly flavorful and fresh! You can tell they locally source their ingredients and prepare them onsite. The portions are also plentiful, and we left with a takeout box. To round off lunch we tried the special mousse on the specials board (coffee flavored cheesecake mousse). It was so delightful we dug in before I could snap a pic. Just enough coffee flavor paired with chocolate sauce (not hersheys ). The big windows allow for a lot of natural light and lends to a welcoming and warm environment. We will for sure be back and bring others!

I especially enjoyed how the herbed goat cheese mixed with the lemon aioli (aioli is garlic mayo so the garlic is redundant in the menu) and beef patty. That combo was deadly to me, oof Some nice cold coleslaw to compliment the hot burger was a nice mix. I still haven't forgotten how heavy their tomato soup is! So packed with flavor omg. Friendly + quick staff as always and gorgeous wooden seating.

It came with this amazing poppyseed dip that made it even better. We also ordered the cheese poppers with jalapeño ranch and definitely underestimated them.

We got the banana pudding meringue and absolutely demolished it. It's said to be one of the owner's mother's recipes.

The retro themed eatery with gas themed memorabilia is an eye pleaser. The meals are served in old hubcaps, just to keep you submerged in that classic ol' timeliness.
