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.

Wording makes a huge difference to a first-timer! For it to be made-to-order, our food came out really fast-kudos! I was pleasantly surprised to be served a whole (beheaded) catfish...which I haven't had in years & thus, didn't have to question its authenticity...though it was over fried-smh. My Fiancée had fillets & shrimp-the fillets unfortunately taste & had the consistency of Swai (bummer) The shrimp was a weird yellow-ish batter color-she sd it taste like a mustard base. The red beans & rice was just OK..lacking flavor. The coleslaw was avg. All in all, it was alright, but I sincerely appreciate the whole catfish option.

Once again this is the best catfish in Waco. The shrimp are huge. Never tried the burgers but they…read morelook HUGE. This is where the locals eat.

Don't sleep on Surf N Soul!!! This place is truly amazing. I love seafood, but it's so hard to find…read moregreat authentic seafood in Waco. 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!

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.

I heard the braised cabbage is good so I gave it a try and I loved it, I would eat pounds of that stuff. The brisket was very good with the right amount of tenderness and flavor without being overcooked. The Mac and cheese was interesting because it had loads of spices but it was also great, I definitely appreciated the spin on it more than regular mac n cheese. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to come here.

A great pit stop en route to Dallas…read more Came in hungry and left very happy. I got the daily quiche with fruit and was honestly shocked by how much fruit they give you. 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!
