Milo was always a favorite of mine when I was attending college in Waco -- and I love to see that they're staying consistent and delicious. I made a reservation for our group of five a couple of weeks in advance for a Friday morning brunch. I ended up having to adjust our reservation the day before, and still had no issues getting a table at the time we wanted. I'm sure if school was in session, that would be a different story! The interior to Milo is a fun mix of natural and industrial design -- with plenty of plants to brighten up the space. I started my meal with a Bloody Mary, which was quite tasty, but a bit small for an $11 drink. My husband's pineapple margarita was the same size, but even more expensive at $14. The food was fabulous, as always. We started with the Corn Ribs and Brussels Sprouts, the latter of which is one of my favorites. I ordered the special for my entree -- "Sic 'Em Chicken." This delightful biscuit sandwich is topped with a fried chicken thigh and a well-balanced coleslaw. I also managed to snag a bit of my husband's Smoked Pork Hash, which was surprisingly light, while maintaining a lovely smokey flavor. The service was also great -- not only was our waitress friendly and attentive, but the general manager stopped by our table to chat with us for a few minutes. I always appreciate this gesture, especially in a restaurant like Milo. I'll continue supporting this Waco staple, and look forward to my next visit. read more

Had dinner at Milo tonight and enjoyed it immensely! I had my pup, so we sat on the patio. I was amazed how comfortable we were out there, since it is August in Texas. The food was great and our server, Anna, was fantastic! We didn't feel rushed and she was attentive without being intrusive. I recommend any Yelpers out there give it a try. read more

Delicious food! I love the indoor plants they have all over the place. We got the Brussel sprouts, and curry salmon, both were very tasty and a good kick of spice. A fun stop on our tour of Waco! read more

Service was great. Food was good. $17 for 2 eggs,2slices of bacon, some potatoes and biscuit was a little pricey.

We really enjoyed this restaurant and the decor was very cute! Initially we were going to sit outside, which is very nice and shaded, but a tornado watch was in effect so we moved inside. Turns out we didn't need to move but the inside was really great as well. We started off with the Brussel sprouts which had great flavor and a nice crunch. I got the burger with fries and both were cooked to perfection and had a nice flavor combination. My friend order the trout that was cooked well and had a bit of a crispy side with a risotto type rice it all went together nicely. The winner of the meal was most definitely the croissant bread pudding. I already love most bread puddings but didn't know I could love something so much, we paired it with a nice decaf coffee and boy were we happy! Our server was a sweet college student from Baylor who made excellent recommendations and told us all about her family. She was fast, checked in with us the perfect amount of times and made a point to say goodbye as we were walking past the restaurant while we were outside. Overall this was a great experience and absolutely loved the interior of this place with all of the plants. Highly recommend! read more

Dined here while in town on business. I don't always love eating alone while traveling but the staff made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I ordered the crispy brussel spouts and chicken tacos at the suggestion of my waitress and then added on some greens- squash salad. All 3 dishes were delicious! You could tell the ingredients were all fresh and flavors were fantastic. Portions were very large too- definitely ordered too much but was up for the challenge Would definitely recommend read more

Came here for lunch & ordered a few dishes. We ordered the corn ribs which was good, but it was a tad bit salty since there was a bit much tajin. I had to scrape off the tajin so it wouldn't be as salty. Also ordered the brussel sprouts which was good as well, but it was overly crisp & charred for my cup of tea. My main entree i ordered the tomato soup & grilled cheese sandwich along with a side of potatoes. The tomato soup was not your typical Campbell soup or Panera soup lol. The tomato soup was NOT salty & it had a different taste to it which was tasty. The grilled cheese was cheesy just the way I like it & it had a nice crunch to it. The side of potatoes were nice & crispy. I would return to this place in the future to try out other items on their menu. read more

This place is amazing! I first got the bourbon cocktail which comes with cinnamon and pear and it was an amazing combination. Then we started off with the Brussels sprouts which tasted phenomenal. It was our favorite off the menu. We also got the pimento cheese with pita which was pretty good. Hubby got the wrecking ball and it he enjoyed it. But he said the portion was pretty huge. Then I got the blue corn pancake and the texture that the blue corn added was a nice touch to it. It was very nice, light and fluffy. Reservation: Do it in advanced! The wait time takes about 30-45 mins if you are a walk-in. The wait is worth it though! We really enjoyed everything off the menu. read more

This place was delicious! The service was great! I'm probably a server's worst fear because I have the cilantro soap gene so it can be hard to find something cilantro free but our server, andrew, worked with me and the kitchen staff to find me something I could have! The restaurant is beautiful with a great vibe. They have outdoor seating to I plan to bring my dog next time if they allow that. I got the blackened salmon on the dinner menu about a week ago and I'm still thinking about it! Only thing is I wish they had normal ranch along with the jalapeño ranch so I could dip the hush puppies in them but no big deal! read more

Milo - Oh yeah!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waco, Texas

Expensive basic breakfast sandwiches that are definitely not worth it. They can't make basic brunch drinks (Irish coffee) according to bartenders because the owner won't expand his liquor selection. Very disappointing menu for food and drinks. We wont return. read more

We were searching/yelping for a brunch place that had cocktails and Milo's was one of the top ones. So glad we decided to go with them! First off, I want to praise the staff- especially Key and Jeremy (who I assume is the GM). Key was our waitress and she was absolutely fabulous! She helped us decide on dishes and wow were they good recommendations. We shared the brussel sprouts which are a MUST! I have them all over and Milo's are one of the tippity top best. The farmer's daughter salad was delicious but filling; generous portion sizes which allowed me to enjoy it again later on. Their "regular" mimosa was anything but. The super-fresh-squeezed orange juice goes down easier than the bubbly! I ordered another not just for more cocktails, but more juice! We also got margs to go because those were also outstanding. This place is refreshing on every level, literally and metaphorically. Jeremy came over to say hi and he was so fun and friendly. This one of those places that make you feel like you're visiting a friend's house instead of a restaurant. Key aided big time in that too... never rushing but never absent, engaging but never too talkative. Just right! Last but not least, the ambiance... yep that's perfect too. SO MANY PLANTS! It gives off major cozy, Austin-type vibes. Nearly everything is farm to table too. Even going to the loo is entertaining. Just get here already! read more

Milo - Burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waco, Texas

This place was cute and the service was very friendly and attentive. However I feel like the food is a little overpriced for what you're getting. We came here after Magnolia Table cut off their waitlist. It was a cute vibe and the food was good but not worth $90. We got 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 1 salad and drank water. Everyone was talking about how they were obsessed with the crab hush puppies but I couldn't even taste it because the spice level was overpowering. (and trust me I like spice!) My grilled cheese was burnt and the Caesar salad was overdressed. The tomato soup was not flavorful or creamy. read more

Beer, burger and service were great!! Ask for Jackson -, what a great waiter! The beer from a local brewery, Brothers Brewery, is now my favorite! I had the Mad Dog burger and now I'm really upset. I'll have to drive one hour one way to get another one! Best burger ever! read more

I brought my family here as we were visiting Waco. We loved the food. My daughter had the Steak Frites and she said "it was bomb dot com". My son had the watermelon salad, which he said "it was awesome". I had the braised short rib with crispy shallots, creamed potatoes and a beautifully done bordelaise sauce made with rendered bone marrow. That dish was rich and wonderfully designed to melt in your mouth! My wife had the sticky coconut rice with crispy skin salmon. That dis was the star of the table. The coconut rice paired with the hint of chili was perfectly paired. It tasted like the spice was dancing in your mouth. The salmon was perfectly cooked as well! Since it was my wife's birthday, they surprised her with an amazing beet root pistachio cake! The atmosphere of this restaurant is warm and inviting, perfect for the family! read more

We are new to Texas and love brunch. This was truly an amazing experience. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is cute as can be and the food was outstanding! We started with the deviled eggs, some of our favorites so far! The jalapeño was the perfect addition to the creamy egg! I had the burger and it was so flavorful and the bread was worth the carbs! The fries were crispy and well seasoned! My boyfriend had the hot chicken tacos. Spicy but well balanced with the cotija! We will for sure be going back! read more

Very over priced for mediocre food. The portions were super small as well. I got the hamburger it was good but not the best I've had and it was served with a tiny side of fries. The hamburger and fries were both just warm not hot.. wouldn't go here again. It also says online they were serving brunch and lunch at the time I went but when I got there I was told there was only brunch.. read more

Had a fantastic experience at Milo - they serve farm to table and have an original menu! Our server and staff were all attentive and the manager went to each table to check-in with customers. The food flavors were great and well la a es, the pork hash with mole had a small kick to it but a balanced ending. The coffee is critical for me and it was brewed on point, even though it is mass brewed they are able to keep the flavor pallet and notes for a great sip. In termos of ambiance, we saw all ranges of groups from families to brunch crews and felt the "grove" was ideal for a Saturday morning. The space is open and has a clean minimalist look. Probably our favorite place we dinned in Waco read more

This place was a really nice gem to stumble on. Visiting Waco for the first time and you definitely have choices for places around here. But we chose Milo for some other reviews that we had read. The restaurant is spaced out nicely and never felt crammed in. There's music playing in the background. That's not too loud where you can still have a good conversation. The food was fantastic. See the pictures that are posted. Sean was a great and attended to all our needs. He was very informative and knew the menu well and drinks to go with our food. Although it was a great experience and I would highly recommend eating here. read more

My mom and I went at about 6pm on Saturday. We were expecting a big crowd, but it really started filling up around 6:30pm.

Our server was also kind. The hostess was kind and fun. read more

Milo - Mr. Brightside cocktail - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waco, Texas

Sunday morning breakfast on our way out of Waco and back to Houston. We both got the Buddy Holly breakfast, which is your standard 2 eggs + other stuff breakfast. This place reminded us of the Bohemian restaurants in Houston Heights or Montrose so we were surprised there were no turkey meats. Your options for breakfast meat are pork sausage or bacon....OR you can add salmon or fried/grilled chicken but you're getting that pork too. The food was pretty good, except for some reason my eggs were powdered while the wife's eggs were real eggs. The only difference was she asked for cheese on the eggs. Verdict: Good enough for breakfast. read more

Lovely place to stop for brunch! We came by during out visit to Waco and was pleasantly surprised. Cute atmosphere and large patio that is dog friendly, they even provide water bowls. The staff was attentative and the manager (or owner) kept checking on us which made it feel like he cared! The food was delicious. We started with the corn ribs and then had burgers. Being gluten free, I was grateful for the lettuce wrap option! I highly recommend a visit here. read more

We were in town to meet a friend half way from Dallas and decided to stop some place for drinks. Little did we know we were in for a treat. Even in a holiday weekend we had superb service and not one hiccup. The smoked pork hash and sweet potato mole was AMAZING and so full of flavor. The Corn Ribs were a fun twist on Mexican corn that the whole table enjoyed. Parking is a little stiff but we found a lot nearby. If I ever find myself I. Waco again I'll be sure to visit and explore more of the menu here. read more

Milo deserves a great review for more than one reason. Right off the bat, the menu is small and simple. A much needed change from the industry norm. Secondly; the service is top notch, truly I have never experienced the same care from a restaurant. Third, the sticky coconut rice salmon was the BEST salmon I have ever had from a restaurant. It was a delicious meal that I would certainly return for. The only miss from the whole experience was a not so good airliner chicken, the chicken didn't live up to the menus description and unfortunately was not either my fiancée or I's favorite. Luckily the manager was making rounds asking how everyone's food turned out and was able to graciously help us out by not charging us for the chicken. Overall, Milo is a beautiful, delicious place to eat! Go if you can! read more
