    Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese and Classic Double Cheeseburger
    Alyssa K.

    The lady at the window was very sweet and gave us time to order. The restaurant was so cute and had an old timey feeling! The food was incredible--one of the best burgers I've had, buffalo mac and cheese was the best thing by far, and the quesadilla was new and yummy. Got these three things, a side of fries, and onion rings--came out to be just under $45.

    Bottlecap Burger

    Good lunch or dinner stop between Dallas and Austin with easy on/off access to I-35. The Bottlecap Burger features two beef patties topped with cheese and breaded jalapeño chips. Their signature poppyseed buns are wonderfully soft and fluffy. Fries were also decent, although slightly on the brown side. Several beers on tap and even more available by the can or bottle. Spacious patio is comfortable in nice weather as long as you don't mind the roar of traffic on I-35. Our server Melanie was great.

    So every once and a while we venture to Dallas and some reason always happen to drive when we need a meal. Tired of the traditional fast food restaurants we happened upon this place. We were looking for a little more unique but still drive thru status if you know what I'm sayin'. These hamburgers are BIG. As big or bigger than my palm for sure. Flavor wise...maybe could have used a little extra seasoning for my taste. But, if your looking for something that's portion enough to fill your tummy and settle that hunger rumble - this is your joint.

    Great Burgers, fantastic service! The shakes were delicious, and Mari, our server, was kind and helpful!

    The Works Burger

    Food was great and so was our service. Will be returning. Multiple televisions available for a nice drink to pass the time while waiting for food.

    Cheeseburger and onion rings
    bec s.

    Service and yummy cheeseburger and onion rings. Waitress seating. Homemade buns I think either topped with seeds or not. I got the one with seeds and was really good and fresh. Hubby got the plain bun. The seeds though were a little messy eating. Onion rings were homemade I think. Very good. They have beer too there. Fast off I35 going north. A lot of older people there so you know a good place!

    Hot Hickory Quesadilla and Jalapeno Bottle Cap Burger

    Alexis was so nice and helpful, as this was our first visit here. We ordered the Jalapeño Bottle Cap Burger and Hot Hickory Chicken Quesadillas and split them both. It was veryyyy filling. The booths had a little comfy seat, so that was also nice. Oh we also had the queso and chips. IT WAS a big portion and extra yummy as well. Ty to manager on deck too. I didn't get her name.

    They have a drive through, but with burgers this good eat at the restaurant! My burger and fries were both amazing. I opted for cheese fries and was not disappointed. The service was friendly and atmosphere was casual with TVs showing sports. I got the bacon blue burger and it was messy but tasted divine. I ordered grilled onions with it instead of fresh.

    Could you please open in Spring, TX? I mean why should Waco have all the fun? Best burgers, hot, fresh and perfectly seasoned. Beer battered onion rings, crunchy good. White cheese nuggets, fabulous. Soda served in frosted mugs. Absolutely the most delightful serving team. Upbeat and handling the crowd with aplomb. Please come to Spring, we are hungry for what you are serving. Or The Woodlands. Humble? Tomball even.

    Good food good service good friends good vibes 10/10 place - I love when I get poppyseeds stuck in my teeth after eating my burger. It's like a game having my friends pick them out of my teeth. Jasmine was a great waitress !

    The Jake with onion rings

    I was so excited to see the Jakes in Waco as I have great memories of visiting Jakes for awesome burgers in Dallas years ago. We stopped for lunch on a Sunday afternoon roadtrip back to Austin. The atmosphere inside is clean and open with a good sized patio outside which is right next to the highway but has plenty of seating for groups and TVs. The Jake burger was tasty, and I really enjoyed the onion rings. The kids enjoyed the kids burger and Mac and cheese and loved that chips and queso is an option for a kids side. Service was a little slow but overall we had a good experience and would recommend this spot for a good burger when in the area.

    Went mid-afternoon. Service was efficient. Impressed with the sesame seed bun. Not much else. Burger itself was very average.

All the articles on Pinterest and reviews were spot on stating this is a must to stop by on your trip to Waco. We were greeted when we walked in and she was SO nice, I believe she's the owner! They had a cute gingerbread house competition going on & you could vote for your favorite house. The Christmas decorations were amazing. But the feel was cozy and modern with a rustic touch. SO CUTE! All the details. The cookies are massive and they're INCREDIBLE! Out in California the closest thing we have to this is Crumbl. There is no comparison. Additionally, I would way more prefer to spend my hard earned money supporting small business! My mom and I each got a cookie. We wanted to bring something home to the family so we bought one of everything. The owner was so sweet and went above and beyond. She individually wrapped each cookie and placed it in a box with crinkle paper to protect them. They made it all the way back to California and we didn't taste test them till about three days later. STILL FRESH AS COULD BE! So impressive. I will be a forever costumer moving forward! Thank you so much for your kindness, amazing cookies, and great service! If you're in Waco, this is a must!!

We tried the cookies and creme, Milky Way, and star crunch. My wife who loves everything sweets wouldn't finish any of them. I finished the star crunch just because we spent so much. Other two were thrown away after a few bites. There are better dessert places. Giving 3 stars just because they were friendly and it's clean.

I didn't realize that the #Magnolia properties are closed on Sunday, so I found other fun ways to get the Waco hospitality from the moment I arrived. I was actually glad that I got to see the town for what it is a few days before people traveled there from all over for #Silobration. I look forward to returning to Waco for a longer visit! I found this gem while on a Waco City Tour. They gave the tour participants the choice of coffee or ice cream and we unanimously chose ice cream. This place is so charming and their ice cream is so delicious, I will always return whenever I come back to Waco. I chose a small scoop and that was the perfect amount. While visiting Texas, I had to choose the Brown Butter TX pecan flavor. Having just said that the small was the perfect size, the next time I go back I will probably double up so that I can try more flavors since I don't get there that often. After we got our ice cream we did walk next door to the coffee shop which instantly made me wish I were in college at Baylor because what a cool yard to sit and gather with friends, study, or catch a show! Here's an idea, grab ice cream at Heritage and coffee next door for the best affogato! Can't wait to go back!

    This was such a disappointing experience! The staff were snappy and rude, we ended up not even…read moregetting anything. Will not be going back!

We swung by on our way of Magnolia and the perfect little goodbye treats for us to pick up. First, the smell is absolutely amazing and draws you! Fresh everything being baked up on site with most of the goods on display. I was a bit unsure what to get when we walked in because of all the delicious options, but then I saw the homemade oatmeal cookie pie and that was it! My partner got the blueberry crumble muffin, not as exciting or tasty, but it was good! However the oatmeal cookie pie was scrumptious! The cookies were soft, yet firm and not crumbly while the filling was thick, light and smooth. So good! Service here, like all outlets at Magnolia, was top notch. They were hustling, but still found time to be cheerful and helpful! Overall, definitely not to be missed when visiting the Silos. You won't regret it!
