    Waco finally has a Korean barbecue place! Very extensive menu. If you come on Saturday then it is an all day dinner menu. We really loved the thinly sliced briskets. They honey chicken was much better than the garlic chicken. Definitely come here with people you want to hang with and come with an appetite ! Servers quick and accurate. If you don't know what to do or get, just ask them and they will help you.

    It's great. Have been waiting for KBBQ in Waco for years and this place absolutely delivers across the board. To go order we had was great also. We have been 4 times since open (1 to go) and can honestly say we will probably go weekly for the foreseeable future. Trust me on this. Order: Spicy Pork Bulgogi, Honey Soy Beef Belly, Beef Short Rib, Wine Pork Belly, and Corn Cheese.

    Each selection we chose was very delicious, all you can eat for two hours is pretty good it will for sure take more trips to taste everything on the menu!

    The best Korean food!!!! gamsahabnida for bring my experience to life here in the USA..

    Glass noodles, double bulgogi beef plate

    Togo Order by Alex. Order placed over the phone. AMAZING customer service. What i wanted to order was not necessarily on the menu. Alex placed me on hold- and found out for me and made it happen. He repeated my order after each detail. And even gave me options if I needed adjustments when I pick up. I didn't get to thank him at pick up! So I hope this makes it to him. Great job Alex! Food for this order: 10/10 Recommend portion: 10/10 recommend Service: 100/10- Thanks again Alex!

    The food was amazing but what peaked my interest most was the radish cleaner. The radish cleaner is used to remove the grime off the plate and make it so we could use it again without replacing . The service was great with regular checking and often water refills . The ambiance was excellent and I tried the gens in Carrollton I can for sure say I never seen this before a radish cleaner, corn cheese and amazing meat. I can for sure say that the one in Waco is better than the one in Carrollton.

    I went when they first opened at it was delicious and the meat on the premium menu felt high quality. Now, the premium meat looks like you took a potato peeler to a cheap steak. It looks nothing like the picture and tastes awful. Thin, low marbeling, slimy, and absolutely disgusting. I mentioned the stark difference to my waiter who chalked it up as them organizing the meat differently. This is obviously not what is in the picture nor close to the quality it was when it opened. Also the service was incredibly slow where I often waiting ten or more minutes with no food while waiting for my waiter to be seen. 0 stars. Not coming back.

    The food was really good and so was the service, the drinks weren't great. Got an espresso martini that tasted horrible.

    Food was fantastic and the service was excellent. Tuan took great care of us, made excellent suggestions, showed us how to cook the food on the grill and was very attentive. An amazing experience and we will for sure be back. 10/10 recommend!!

    Halfway between Dallas and Georgetown is a Rudy's BBQ in Waco. It's on the north side of IH-35, but…read moreeasy enough to get to even if you are heading south. There is construction going on, so you may need to exit early and stay on the frontage road to avoid missing it. Parking lot out front is generally empty because most people park in the back. Gas pumps out front are usually available without a wait. When you enter, you'll pass the country store where you can buy sauces and jams and such to take for gifts or yourself. Someone is usually there to greet you as you head inside. They have a line barricade that you have to weave through in order to get to the register to place your order. The wall menu board is positioned so you can read and decide what you want while you are in line. Meats are often ordered by weight, but you can get a sandwich if you don't know how much of an item to order. While in line, you'll zigzag by a large ice bucket of cold drinks in bottles and cans. I always skip these and get sweet iced tea from the self-serve station. You'll also pass a refrigerator of delicious sides and desserts. Be sure to load up on coleslaw, potato salad, pecan pie, and banana pudding. There's more, but these are some of our favorites. At the register, they will put together a large plastic bin lined with butcher paper and then load it up with your meal choices. We love the extra moist brisket, jalapeño sausage link, smoked turkey, corn on the cob, and new potatoes. For the meat, it is fun to order a 1/2 lbs. and a whole link to share with your party. If you want to make your own sandwich, ask for a half or whole loaf of bread depending on how many sandwiches you want to dress. They will load it all into your bin. If you are getting drinks from the drink station, be sure to get a Rudy's cup. You can bring it back for cheap refills on your next visit. They have both unsweet and sweet tea along with the usual soda fountain drinks. Before heading to your table, collect plastic flatware, paper napkins, and more butchers paper to set down as a place mat for each person. They also have a paper boat trays that you can load up with pickles, onions, and peppers for the sandwiches you will make at your picnic table. Each picnic table has condiments available. They have a full bodied BBQ sauce that is a bit sweet and spicy, and a Sissy BBQ sauce for those who need something more bland. There are tables inside and outside. Lots of tables can handle large groups, but there are also small 2-seater picnic tables. Once you are done chowing down, wad up the butcher paper with everything inside and deposit it into one of the many large trash bins. You can also ask for a bag to go and small containers to take items on the road. My family has always enjoyed their visits to Rudy's. They are located around the state of Texas, but they even have some in AZ, NM, OK, and CO. Not really great if your a vegetarian or on a diet for cholesterol or heart issues, but if you are young and healthy, it can be a nice meal for a splurge or cheat day.

    Continuing on my road trip in Texas. Hotel recommendation was tonight's dinner selection Rudy's…read morecountry store and barbecue. Good recommendation and tremendous staff. The moist brisket sandwich with Rudy's original sauce was fabulous. Traditional Texas barbecue but with a little extra. Highly recommend Rudy's and especially the moist brisket. Again the staff went above and beyond providing with a few extras at no extra charge. Always nice when you're traveling from out of town.

The place is pretty nice on the outside, as far as BBq places go. It is a little ways north of the downtown area. I went in right at noon and had to stand in line a while. I ordered 1/3 of a pound of moist brisket and 1/3 of jalapeños sausage. The cashier called someone else over cause she couldn't ring up 1/3 of a lbs. The second person told her to enter .33. When she did, it popped up .330. She asked if I'd be fine paying for .330 instead of 1/3 of a lb. Brisket was good, but I didn't get the requested moist end. The sausage was good, but not great. Someone came around and offered a free side of "gravy". I declined, but later regretted it. I really should have learned what bbq gravy tastes like.
