This was our first time to 135 Prime. We went the night before my surgery so I would not be hungry the next morning (no eating after midnight); I was not hungry in the morning. The staff were amazing, and the only draw back from the restaurant itself was it was a little dark and hard for these GEN X eyes to read the menu. The food was excellent. For starters, I got the wonderful house salad, and my husband enjoyed his lobster bisque. For our entrees, my husband and son both got fish, and I got a perfectly cooked medium rare ribeye. We did get two sides to share, which was plenty for the three of us. I highly recommend garlic mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. We could not skip dessert and throughly enjoyed the cheesecake and creme brûlée (I made have eaten most of this myself). While the prices are a little more than we spend on a nice dinner, this place is worth it. read more

We have been going to 135 Prime for several anniversaries and were always impressed. This last time we were seated near the kitchen, after making reservations the day before, 4:30, just started service, noisy kitchen clatter. Why? We ordered drinks. I had the Maple Old Fashioned, like I usually do, the cubes were small so it tasted watered down. No pick for the cherry, no straw, wasn't smoked. What a waste of Whiskey. My wife's agave drink also sad. I had another whiskey cocktail and felt like a waste. I usually get the Rack of Lamb which has always been unbelievably great. Not on the menu anymore. Got the chef's pick which came with several courses. Salad was plain, soup was incredible, fish was ok, I don't remember what the other thing was. Service was great as always but when you spend $175 plus $36 for a tip I expect top level. Next year I would have a hard time going back there for my 42nd anniversary. What a shame. read more

Important lesson: if something is not to your satisfaction, speak up. Don't give a bad review without giving management a chance to address the problem. That is what we did, the problem was addressed to our satisfaction, and here I present the outstanding experience we had at this restaurant. Service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and food preparation. The ambience was very pleasant, from drinks on the outside patio to our meal inside. Our party of four ordered a lot, including two steaks, Chilean a la Prime, the Chef's weekly special, asparagus, and more. All of the food was exceptional well-prepared and I'm still thinking about how much we all enjoyed coming here. read more

Enjoy a delightful two-hour dining experience at this charming restaurant, featuring exquisite dishes crafted by a talented chef in a romantic ambiance accompanied by gentle, lovely music. The attentive waiter provided excellent service throughout our meal. Additionally, the menu has been enhanced with new cocktail options, complementing the already impressive selection. A must-try is the escargot served with bruschetta, undoubtedly the finest appetizer on offer - a dish we consistently indulge in! read more

Very nice place with an excellent menu. I found the prices to be reasonable based on the quality and the service.

Going to start this off by saying the service was top notch, our waitress was great and all of the support staff were on top of it. Only reason for 2 stars. That said, I am actually blown away that they are getting away with charging the prices they charge. I mean genuinely shocked. The food is average at best, Luby's at worst. Not the end of the world, it was fine. The part that makes no sense though is that my steak was $70 (not even the most expensive cut), everything else on the menu was $60+ and that didn't even include sides. And all this is in Waco!!! You can go to Dallas, Austin, Houston, Fort Worth, you name it and get a MUCH better meal for half the price. I mean seriously, you guys are charging Dallas prices for Chili's level of food quality. But, either they're putting something in the water in Woodway or someone's been drugging me, because clearly I didn't get the memo. This place was PACKED with people more than happy to drop hundreds of dollars on this very mediocre food. If you're a local and this is your favorite spot, disregard my review. If you're from out of town visiting Waco and looking for a nice steakhouse, go somewhere else. I can't believe the owners charge this much for this quality. Truly mind blowing they're getting away with it. Better bang for your buck elsewhere! read more

Service is note but food really isn't worth it. Soup was not good Steaks are okay. Very very mid for how expensive it was. Drinks was good. read more

I've eaten at this restaurant many times over the years. There was a time, maybe 15 years ago, when it was the best fine dining location in Waco. But those days are over. The decor is dark and dated. Brat pack? Really? The food is fussy and unimaginative. If the menu has changed at all in the past 20 years, it's hard to see how. To be clear, things are well-executed and there are no disasters. But it's old, boring, and the ownership is just coasting along not realizing that what worked 20 years ago in Waco is not sufficient today. The staff is competent. The ownership group needs to wake up! read more

I will say if half stars were available I would give closer to 3.5. This experience lacked an equality to price required. Upon making the reservation, I included we were celebrating a special occasion and our server did not already know that, poor service in my opinion for this establishment and nothing special was done- a missed opportunity. The atmosphere was dark with beautiful chandeliers, tables a bit close- I had to have people scoot up in their chairs when needing to get out between tables to use the bathroom. Food was ok- my filet was delicious and cooked to requested temperature. My baked potato was large but the toppings were few, they did bring more upon request. My husband's ribeye was so thin, but was cooked medium as requested. The crispy Brussels were soggy not crispy. My son enjoyed the lamp chops, nicely seasoned. I just expected better. read more

I wish I had more pictures to post here, was too busy enjoying it all. Let's start out with the service - from the bartender to our server, we were well cared for. We arrived a little earlier so we went to the bar and enjoyed some whiskey (their well whiskey is Buffalo Trace - not a bad choice if this is their base line!) and Riesling. We then went to our table and ordered some oysters from BC (British Columbia) which were fresh and delicious accomplices with horse radish, cocktail sauce and a butter base sauce - all delicious. Then had the calamari with more, excellent sauces. Main course was the 10 oz rib eye (maybe it was 12? I forget) with some sides. Flavor was on point! Maybe a little less quality on the meat choice for the price but still delicious. Overall ambience was great for what it is. I would say atmosphere is the lacking area here. It works, don't get me wrong, but it's not a pampas room or fancy club that you might expect. It's not a dive by any means and it lives up for the price with drinks, food and service!! Highly recommend! read more

AMAZING food, service and ambiance. The flavors are fantastic. Crème brûlée a must have at the end.

Restaurant hast lost focus on customer experience very disappointing experience, waiting on food, lack of engaging servers, no Sea Bass and one other top choice. Atmosphere was not the same as past and time for food to the table unacceptable at this scale an establishment. Too many great choices in waco taking this one off the list read more

One Thirty Five Prime - Moms Birthday...Cream Brulee - Steakhouses Near Me - Waco, Texas

Such a lovely ambiance and wonderful staff. We started with a charcuterie board that had such a large array of delicious cheese. I only wish each had a little tag with what kind of cheese, so that I can purchase later. I also had a lobster bisque as a starter. Sadly this was nothing special and didn't taste like a traditional lobster bisque. The waiter was very patient with all my menu questions. I couldn't decide what to eat and he said the salmon was popular. I love salmon, but sometimes restaurants can over cook it or it comes out tasteless. THIS salmon honestly was probably the best salmon I have ever had! It was so tender and flavorful. The veggies and rice were perfect as well and paired nicely. Next time I'm in Waco I'm definitely coming back! read more

We have been many times. Love sitting at the the smaller bar top tables. Service is top notch and highly revoke d table side filet. It never disappoints. read more

One of the top places in Waco for a quiet and intimate ambiance, perfect for date nights or double dates. One of the only places I would trust for raw oysters (the Virginia points were spot on this week) and their steaks and Chilean sea bass never ceases to impress and hit the spot. I got bread pudding for dinner and, holy moly, it was a perfect pairing for the chilly winter weather that had just come in (so cozy!) Also the best place for a martini in the city. Strong, tasty, keeps me coming back for more! read more

Absolutely love this place! Food was amazing. The steak was delicious and loved all the sides. Our server was awesome. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and had some great suggestions. Can't wait to go again! 10/10 recommend read more

Excellent every time we go. I love the chef course selection. The taste pairings are amazing. 4 courses for $60.

Between a 4 and a 3 here... service was good and friendly. Indoor ambiance was alright, actually preferred their outdoor patio set up if it's a pleasant day weather wise. More casual but cute. Food wise we did the pecan crusted sea bass which was delicious and my fiancé got the steak which was pretty good quality. They were out of the bottle of wine I ordered and of course the alternate options brought to us were significantly higher priced but good. Desert wise we did the crème brûlée and the turtle cheesecake which had tons of toppings with it. Overall and good experience but for the price it just didn't impress me to the levels other steak houses have. Good for a special occasion but I doubt we'll be back. read more

One Thirty Five Prime - SIGNATURE CREME BRULEE - Steakhouses Near Me - Waco, Texas

We are new to waco. Food was good. Marcus our server was awesome. Ambiance was terrible. My husband had requested recognition of our 30th anniversary. Nothing happened- we were seated on the bench with others. We expected something. Definitely Not returning here for a special occasion! read more

They were really kind and getting us a table when we called last minute. The bar top tables, although they were small, was still a great experience overall. Our food was well cooked and our waiter was really great. If you're going for the first time, I recommend trying the cheese platter, which is just a combination of a bunch of cheeses and meats. The lobster risotto makes for a great side dish along side your steak. Overall, a great experience, and I hope to go back soon. read more

Food: 5 Amazing food. We started with the escargot. Not traditional style but it was great. Got the wagyu filet as well as the prime. I'm not usually a wagyu person but it was delicious and the prime was great. Had the au gratin potato's which were also spectacular. Service: 4 Service was good. A bit slow for not being busy but our waitress was nice. Ambiance: 5 Classic steakhouse ambiance. Not bright which I prefer. This is my second time here. Definitely a top dinner spot around. read more

My husband and I stopped here on the way to Austin and we were very impressed! The food was outstanding, the service was top notch and the spirits selection was great. We had the Caesar Salad with Spanish white anchovies as an appetizer and it was fantastic. For the main meal, my husband had the seared Tuna and I had the Cherry smoked king Salmon, both dishes were perfectly cooked and the Brussel sprouts paired with my dish were wonderful! We ordered dessert and the key lime pie my husband ordered and the bread pudding I had were both wonderful! The ambiance was quiet and nice for a special occasion or just fine dinning for two. Overall this place was as good as any 4 star I've eaten in the DFW metroplex... great restaurant! Keep up the great service and great food!!! The food and service are worth the drive. read more

Food is good. Drinks are good. Prices are off the chart high. Service is adequate. Good atmosphere.

It was an okay restaurant. I found it a bit unnerving that the establishment has zero f**ks about dress standards. You had people walk in like they just participated in a rodeo and others looking like they were about to go fishing, caps, flip flops and all. We found the food to be good but not great. We were definitely not aligned with the vision of chef for many of the items we tried. We were disappointed in the crab cakes, it reminded us of the offerings of at HEB. We did enjoy the sauces that accompanied the crab cakes. My waygu NY strip reminded me of Salisbury steak, not terrible but certainly not the flavor profile I anticipated. Lobster Mac was another head scratcher, the dish was all one note. No nuttiness, no complexity , nor creaminess. There was a large amount of lobster pieces which was a pleasant surprise. Brussels sprouts were well seasoned but again, what would have put them in the winner's circle were if they held back in the oven a little longer to develop more caramelization and crispness. Desserts were also good. The bread pudding was on point, the key lime pie was one that I'd prefer less coconut. The coconut infused crust was just effing delicious, but the coconut whip cream and shavings was too much. It strongly over powered anything key lime. The brightest spot was the service from our server Meagan. Who was prompt and courteous and a master of the menu. If someone else were paying I'd return happily...and wear my best jorts and LeBron James jersey. read more

Warm and inviting steakhouse environment. Waiter was very personable and attentive. Ordered chateubriand for two - which includes prime tenderloin cut table side, two salads and two sides (not sure if it was because we chose lobster risotto and lobster mac but there was an up charge for both) and crème brûlée for dessert.Accompanied this with a pomegranate martini. Both salads (house and caesar) were great and your average as far as taste. The prime tenderloin was cooked perfectly with a nice peppered/salted crust and served with pickled red wine reduction onions and a béarnaise sauce. The lobster risotto although cooked perfectly had an overwhelming seafood flavor and the white wine in the dish was not cooked down. The lobster mac was rich and delicious. Crème brûlée was decent. Definitely a place to visit if you are in Waco! read more

Made reservations through Open Table (thank you for allowing that option) Date night with hubby, the Saturday before Valentine's Day, so the restaurant was busy. But our server, Matthew, was very attentive! We started with a cheese plate and it was really good! Cheeses, blueberries, raspberries, crackers and walnuts! Large portion, enough to share. Steak and some baked potatoes wrapped up our evening, and Matthew kept the drinks coming. Thank you for a great night. read more

One Thirty Five Prime - Cheese Platter - Steakhouses Near Me - Waco, Texas

It was ok. I had some fish and the middle was a little undone. I took it home and put it in the oven. My husband had steak which was good, but he ordered it medium and it came out very red in the middle. Maybe it was just a bad night, but for those prices they really should check the food before it comes out. We might go back, but haven't yet. read more

135 Prime Definitely one of best Steakhouse in Waco. I had the Ribeye and was prepared very well. Top notch beef and great dry age prepared. Hawaiian Sea Bass was melt in your mouth tender, we shared with the Ribeye to have turf and surf. Garlic Mashed Potatoes were good but did not wow. Loaded baked Potato was good and complimented the entree. Creme Brulee was on the house for celebrating birthday which was a generous portion AZ and very good. Be prepared to pay for what you get, very expensive but you pay for what you get. Great ambiance, service and overall experience. There is also a private separate area for a Chef's Table experience. Great place to celebrate a special occasion, definitely a step above other steak places in Waco read more

Food is pretty solid. For Waco, this is the best it has to offer for prime steaks. Shrimp cocktail is weak, appetizers are pretty solid. Brussels aren't flash fried like normal steakhouses. Service is very attentive and knowledgeable. Ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Good bar area. Good pours. Fair price. Looking for a prime steak in Waco, this is most likely your best bet. read more

Ambiance very nice once inside. Good variety in menu. If you order the steak medallions- order an extra side or two of vegetables. The order contains 4 tiny sliced pieces of beef -maybe an ounce - with a small piped whipped potatoes and a touch of gravey. Tasted great, but needed at least 6 pieces for the price. Left still hungry. Service okay- but not real attentive. read more
