It was a Sunday so it was…read morequiet, only 2 workers, the the bartender knew that we wanted a flight before my husband even did! They only have cans of soda and water. Of course there were some beers that we ordered but did not like. However we found a couple that we throughly enjoyed. We even took a couple cans home! The food was amazing! The pretzel was a little inconsistent, crunchy in some areas and super soft in others, but it hit the spot either way. Their garlic fries were definitely garlicky, don't order if you don't like a lot of garlic. The food did not come out together, but we were ok with that. The mushroom burger, grilled cheese, and fish and chips were all delicious! The grilled cheese was even loved by our picky son! The fish was crispy on the outside and so flaky and tender on the inside. The burger may have been frozen, but the mushrooms and Gouda totally made up for that! Good beers, great food, friendly and attentive staff! If we find ourselves in Waco again, we will definitely be stopping by.

Honestly, the only thing I was disappointed by (and the only reason I gave it 3 stars) is the use of ai slop on the menu. Ya'll -- in this day and age, ai slop pictures are only going to hurt you. Go back to whatever menu you had before you made this one, because it sucks.

It was a little busy due to the holiday but we enjoyed the old world like atmosphere bar tavern set up they have. We got a bottle of champagne to have mimosas with our meals. I got the delicious schnitzel Benedict. Loved it but next time I'll ask for the sauce on the side. I would have liked the traditional hollandaise. But it was a good twist. The potatoes were yummy. My husband had the schnitzel waffles. he ate the whole plate. So it's a winner. He said we can come back. So I again look forward to exploring more of the menu and having some beers. I mean pivo. Cheers.

A curious local, I came in with no expectations. As a bit of an introvert, finding Sam's was great,…read moreespecially allowing food from other vendors inside. It is much more intimate and cozy than the hall (and also less bright lol). When I came in, the bartender, Christopher, was polite and professional, gave me the obligatory carding, and gave me a small taste of a beer I was interested in. I ordered it and went to grab my ramen, returning to a kinda crowded spot, nice cold beer already served. I let him know I was going to shift down the bar, moving my bowl first, then returning for my coat and purse. By the time I got back, there were napkins and a fork just for me, kindly and quietly placed. As a single diner, these little touches mean a lot and create a welcome and warm vibe. Even when I was done, he took my bowl too! Again, a single lady feeling special (granted it wasn't slammed so he could spare the time on me) is a big deal! My experience was pleasant and chill, with a nice convo with Christopher in his down time. There was a sketchy guy around and he kept completely cool while staff walked him out. Everything went without a hitch and it was a 10/10 for a first impression. Definitely coming back!

The vibe is great, good mix of locals and out of towners. They have a partnership with Morosco next door so you can order the full menu to be brought over. Pro tip: their sangria is hot freaking fire. It's almost TOO easy to drink. When you need to hydrate, the water is double filtered. Also perfect for a drop or three in your whiskey if that's your thing. In short: good booze, good food, good company. You literally can't go wrong coming here.

This place gets super busy and crowded on weekends, but it's a nice place for a weekday drink, or try it after 1am on a weekend.

The space may look inviting, but based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend it for after-work cocktails or coming back for that matter.
