    Vegetable Platter FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
    Sarah E.

    Heard great things about this place, had an OK experience here. No wait for a table, service was fine but we had to ask for things like utensils/napkins, side plates. Food was hot and tasty, love those fried green tomatoes! Reasonably priced; cleanliness could be improved at the tables and in the bathroom. Would return

    Cake they can't sell in house

    Delivery gave us a TOTALLY DIF experience than in house, cake prime example .. Not able to serve in house.. Food was COLD, no chz on Mac n chz.. Just GARBAGE ! In house was good.. Delivery ..is the trash they can't sell.

    This is a lie...

    Ok, so I received an email about All you can eat catfish today and every Friday. So we loaded up and headed to Waco about 15-20 miles away for catfish. We arrived and placed our orders. About 20 minutes later our waitress arrived and said that she had bad news. They were OUT of catfish today. She said that she was confused because she did see some at the window for service to another table. I asked to speak to the manager about the confusion and Megan, the manager came to our table and said they are all out of catfish. I asked if that seemed to be a problem on Good Friday. She said that no they sold out and they have to let it thaw and marinate for 11/2 hours. So I said this was a "kitchen management issue" and she rudely replied with an attitude they were busy today. I looked around the restaurant and counted 5 tables with people at them at 6:15 on a Friday night, when they had just email blasted everyone in the world mid-late afternoon today. They may have been busy at lunch but let's be honest, you have had 5+ hours to defrost catfish that three tables in my earshot were trying to order for dinner on Good Friday, it's lent Cotton Patch, Poor planning and poor managerial response Cotton Patch. Shouldn't you take notice of your one star rating on YELP???

    Chicken Alfredo, cinnamon apples and rolls.

    Excellent. The crawfish étouffée was super flavorful. Get it…read more The gumbo was delicious as well but I guess I forgot that it has celery (my arch nemesis) so I kept coveting my husband's étouffée. They have easy online ordering so you can spend more time eating and less time waiting to eat.

    Nestled just off the beaten path near a slightly industrial area of Waco, I discovered an…read moreunexpected gem, Cajun Craft. 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.

    My partner and I eat out quite often and our most recent visit was perhaps our 5th or 6th at Waco…read moreBBD. There are always plenty of choices and you will not leave hungry. This visit was for breakfast, and the amount of options made made it difficult to choose. Enter our waitress, Alli, who helped us through that part and took great care of us while we were there. She was very knowledgeable of the menu, friendly & witty without ever being obtrusive. And I could hear that she was the same with each of the tables near us. This review and 5 Star rating are for Alli who I think must surely be the best server in Waco.

    We dropped in to Black Bear before going to the movies night. Unfortunately, we were disappointed…read morewith the level of service and quality of this fairly new Waco restaurant. I reviewed BBD a year ago for the first time after their initial opening and gave them high marks. Like so many places, though, BBD has not maintained the quality of their grand opening. My wife's broccoli and cheese soup was obviously a mix with very little broccoli, very little cheese, and bland. The tomatoes on my house salad were bad probably old. The corn muffins we received were cold and dense and probably straight from the cooler. Our waitress brought our food then didn't come back until we flagged her down to get our check. She was covering about 5 tables and spent most of her time in the kitchen. A runner brought our food out. It seems that Black Bear is going through that inevitable drop in quality that comes with an inability to sustain continuity in their kitchen and wait staff. Hopefully they will work through this problem and return to the quality we are have come to expect over the last year.
