    HAlf and Half. Half grill chicken avocado salad w lime dressing and Half a loaded nachos. Yummy
    Chris J.

    It took a while but I ordered tonight. I ordered the half salad half Sammy and added a cup of soup. I had just got back from my parents. I am recovering from eye surgery. I didn't see my pickle so I called. One of the managers answered. He was very nice and calming. I wasn't very calm but he was very polite. He explained that not every order gets a pickle and looked at my order. What I thought was a charge for my pickle was an extra charge as the Reuben Sammy is a bit more. I ended up finding the pickle under my sandwich and apologized but he was very nice and said everything was good. I probably didn't see it as my eye is still recovering from surgery. Such excellent customer service. Btw the soup and sandwich delivered were excellent. The driver was very nice. The food has always been super. I can't get over how nice the manager was. He impressed me w his commitment to service. I have been in customer service for much of my career. People get upset at times. The manager here did an excellent job. I will definitely order/return here again. BTW the pickle was great. Kudos

    The food was very quick and delicious. I bought the 12 inch Spicy Turkey Melt. It was jammed packed with meats, veggies, and cheese. I did ask for no tomatoes, but they gave them to me anyways, to be healthy I suppose. It didn't stop me from eating this delicious concoction of a sammich. The brownie I also purchased was soft and chewy. The service was 10/10. The young lady made her rounds asking if we were ok every so often, along with everyone else sitting and eating. We asked for extra honey mustard and received TWO sauce containers of honey mustard. Couldn't ask for better service really. The ambiance was wonderful and peaceful. No kids running around and screaming. Just folks conversing amongst themselves quietly. Overall, this place deserves more than the three stars that it currently has on this app. I applaud the employees who applied the veteran discount to my order. Such a wonderful experience altogether.

    kid spud !

    We came in for dinner to celebrate my nephews birthday! Aria took care of our order and she was such a sweet heart! She really elevated our entire dine in experience. We'll come back just for her! The rest of the team was kind as well and the restaurant was clean and well kept! thanks aria!!

    Haven't been here since 2020, nothing's change and it's the same bad quality as it was before. Salad is red and wilted, didn't give me dressing. Tortilla soup taste like canned cheese soup. Shame on me for trying this place again and wasting my money.

    I never leave yelp reviews, but after trying this location multiple times and hoping the experience would get better I wanted to post a warning to help others avoid the frustration and annoyance. Every time we have placed an order (always to go) it has been wrong. The sandwiches/wraps were so carelessly put together that by the time we get home they have fallen apart (see photo). Staff is not friendly or understanding. Additionally, if you order to go and plan to pick up inside, you are required to wait in the line that goes so slow. I'm not sure if these issues are due to staffing problems, but I really hope they figure it out soon. We will be driving the 10 extra minutes to their other locations to avoid this place in the future.

    Good ambiance. Wide variety of sandwiches-always fresh. Quiet. Also terrace outside. Crowded at noon so it is better to come around one .

The staff are always friendly and the food here is amazing!! We came back last Friday to celebrate my birthday. I was so happy to find out that they now take reservations using the Open Table app. It was super easy to use and I booked my reservation a few weeks prior to getting into Waco. We were greeted by the friendly hostess who seated us promptly since we had reservations. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my husband ordered the farm breakfast. We ordered the kids breakfast for our 3 year old which came with pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. We also ordered a side of biscuits with strawberry jam. We got our food hot and made fresh to order. The croissant sandwich was filling and delicious. The croissant was super fluffy and light. Everything was perfect!!! Our son told us that he loved his pancakes. Our waiter came by frequently to check on us and make sure everything was made to our liking. 10/10 recommend for their high quality service and food. We will be sure to continue to keep coming back again and again whenever we're in Waco.

To start I had the strawberry margarita to celebrate my day off of work. It was very tasty and just the right amount of strawberry flavor. Refreshing. Since I was dining solo I didn't get any appz. I got the farm eggs Benedict and like I said the flavors were all good but wish it was as a little warmer. But it was a great portion. I ate it all! This was my first dinning experience here. There are lots of tables and the atmosphere is open and welcoming. After my meal I went to the take away area and got the lemon lavender donut holes to take home to the husband. And I grabbed a chai latte with oatmilk to keep me going for my warrants of the day. The drink was comforting and warm and the chai was perfect. Later I tried the donut holes. And oh wow they were amazing!

That's why I was genuinely disappointed to find out that the chicken Caesar sandwich has been removed from the menu. It might seem like a small change, but for regular customers like me, that sandwich was a standout item and one of the main reasons I kept coming back. It had a great balance of flavor and felt like a reliable go-to every time. Taking it off the menu without a comparable replacement feels like a missed opportunity and, honestly, a bit frustrating. I completely understand that menus evolve and restaurants need to make changes, but it would mean a lot to see fan-favorite items like this either return or be replaced with something similar. Milo's still has a lot going for it, which is why this change stands out even more. Hoping this feedback is taken in the spirit it's intended--supportive, but coming from a very disappointed regular.

In particular the deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts caught my eye, unfortunately the latter was sold out so I went with the sweet potato Both dishes I had were really good! The candied bacon paired really nicely with the creamy deviled egg, the hot sauce vinaigrette didn't add too much flavor, but honestly adding a significant amount of heat would've probably taken away from an already very tasty dish. The baked sweet potato on the other hand had a nice dose of heat from the Calabrian honey vinaigrette, the sweet heat combo worked really, I'm surprised I'd never come across a spicy sweet potato dish before, but I'll definitely have my eye out for it in the future Overall I had a very good experience and will definitely be back for future rest stop meals between Austin and Dallas!
