Anytime I'm passing through, I try to coordinate the timing to eat here. Glad it's far enough away so I don't eat like this too often! Very few places make good dressing and Mac n cheese. I like their baked chicken. Wished their hours were longer and they served breakfast. I could see fried potatoes, hot sausage and salmon croquettes in my future! This place is like eating at someone home that you know can cook.

I'm excited to know that I have a dedicated spot in the area now. I ordered Fried Fish and Fried Rice. It took exactly 15 minutes to be prepared and served to me. The hospitality/customer service was genuine and friendly. My food was fresh and hot. But most importantly, it was delicious, flavorful, and fulfilling. The fish was battered like chicken, seasoned to perfection, and it's real!! The fried rice is definitely my favorite I love how that was seasoned as well, it taste like rice you could get from a hibachi grill. I definitely will keep coming back. I feel like way more people should know about Surf N Soul and check it out. They did not disappoint at all!

I ordered a 3 meat plate and got 2 brisket and 1 chicken as well as smoked cabbage and smoked mac n cheese. The prices were very fare and the whole trip was less than 30 dollars. The food was absolutely incredible. To start there is so much food you easily get 2 meals out of it. I've never had chicken melt the way this chicken did, incredibly tender with great flavor. The brisket was just as great and just made me blown away that they have mastered so many meats. The smoked cabbage was one of the best sides i've ever had, flavor almost reminds me of smoked green beans. The mac was incredible like the rest of the food. After our meal we spent some time taking to the owners who made me want to stay in Waco just so I could be a regular. To the owners, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the bbq and the experience. If i'm back in Waco this will be my first stop.

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. They were crispy, curdy, and super addictive. The chicken fried steak was another win. Hand-breaded, flavorful, and covered in their homemade gravy. Straight-up comfort food. Dessert is a must. We got the banana pudding meringue and absolutely demolished it. It's said to be one of the owner's mother's recipes. The atmosphere has a clean 1950s vibe with retro decor and vintage car parts everywhere, which was pretty fun and different. Our server, Cindy, was super friendly and gave great recommendations. Overall, really solid experience. Would definitely come back.

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. Regular burger was delicious with a side car of their fried okra. Kids meals are a wow factor as they use those 3D cardboard replica boxes of cars. Ours now drives around Barbie dolls! Their hours can be a bit inconvenient if you don't plan accordingly to eat here (open 11AM-2PM). Don't let that stop you for adding them to your Waco vacation plans!
