Uncle Worms hit the spot. We needed a place to stop for lunch after traveling from Arlington to Austin. I always turn to Yelp to find something good and local we thought that we'd give Uncle Worms a try and he hit it line, hook, and sinker. First off, our waitress was exceptional. She judged multiple tables alone. She kept checking on us while our meals were prepared. We started with an order of Porky Puffs. Homemade pork rings or chicharrones with their magical dust. The husband had thr Chopped Steak plate while I ordered the spicy Texas Chicken Alfredo plate All wete relish and we're taking an extra of Porky Piffs home to enjoy later. See ya later Uncle Worm read more

Our new Friday night go-to! We tried this restaurant after Papa Bear's (our usual Friday night spot) went out of business, and we're so glad we did. With its popcorn ceilings and charming, old-school worn tables, this place is to dine for! We had the Mac Daddy and the Mac Mama--both were incredibly delicious. If you're craving some heat, the Mac Mama is definitely the way to go. If you're more in the mood for a BBQ-style flavor, the Mac Daddy won't disappoint. And don't skip dessert--the banana pudding was incredible- a must try! The service from the bar and the bartender was superb. The bartender asked how my LIT was--and let me tell you, they do not skimp on the liquor! Mira, our server, although very soft-spoken, was amazing--very attentive and truly made the experience even better. Do the drive and see us at Uncle Worm's! read more

Uncle Worms is always consistently good comfort food. Whether its the brisket mac n cheese, their half pound burger, or grilled salmon ~ it's always good. The only weak spot is their mixed drinks from the bar. They aren't always consistent and non-bar pros frequently make the drinks. It has a great casual country vibe, lots of room to spread out. Great for singles, couples or large groups and on Thursday's they have live music. Probably other nights too. If you're looking for a true local Waco spot, check it out. In North Waco by the lake, but worth the extra 10 minute drive! read more

Wonderful food - had a variety in our group pasta, steak and chicken fried steak. All were done very well. Friday night featured music - Clay Dawg - he was excellent. Service was a little slow but the upstairs music area was full and staff was very nice so no big deal for us. The pork skins and smoked Gouda hush puppies for starters are a must have! The atmosphere was family friendly and comfortable. We will for sure add this to our rotation of places to go for a fun relaxed evening. read more

We love coming here! Worm is so welcoming and chose the perfect staff who are all attentive! Shout out to Pocahontas she is so sweet and such a good boss lady. read more

Mom and I had lunch here today. Both had daily special: Pork bbq rib, potato salad, pinto beans, bread. It was very good. After a bit of a wait to take our order, service was great. read more

Amazing food & staff! Love that they remember my drink! The atmosphere is fun and Chef Ray is amazing! Ask for Avery & she will remember your drink! read more

First time trying out this place after a basketball game and it definitely won't be the last. First and foremost- the staff is AMAZING. Our waitress Michelle was incredible and worked her tail off. She was perfectly kind and took her time to get everything just right. She even gave our kiddos quarters to get candy on the way out. She deserves serious praise for her efforts. Food was fantastic- highly recommend the smoked gouda cheese hush puppies and the burgers. Fun environment with good music. Highly recommend a visit!! read more

Amazing! Went with friends and it was so good, the meatloaf was fantastic! Friendly attentive servers.

My visit was good. There are a couple of caveats to mention. The service was good and the food was good. This visit was w a preselected menu for a Christmas party for work. The steak was great and the mash potato's were very flavorful. The grilled veggies were decent I don't like summer squash. My chicken was cool but I think that was due to the staff having to make a large amount of servings to serve at once. The salad was very fresh and the apple dessert was very different. My friend tried the brownie there was a choice for dessert and liked that. The ice cream was blue bell. A very good first time. I loved all the home touches w decorating and the fact that the bar is on the second floor so it was quiet downstairs for our work party. It was really enjoyable and the staff was very friendly. read more

Everything was so good! The service was great and so kind. The food was delicious. And the environment was so welcoming and comforting. DO NOT LET THE NAME FOOL YOU. This place is a MUST EAT AT! Try the meatloaf, chicken thigh sandwich, Texas taters, or mac n cheese--it's all yummy. read more

Absolutely the friendliest place we've ever been! Family owned establishment with a LOT of personality. Pure Texas, and definitely a place to bring guests. Omar (co-owner) is a story teller, salesman, and fantastic server. On a later visit, Brandon told us to try the creamy whiskey sauce. OMG, I want to put this sauce on everything. I want to drink this sauce, bathe in it, and maybe even learn to make it. If you order steak or salmon, make sure to ask for the whiskey sauce! read more

I've been wanting to try Uncle Worm's for quite a while so took the opportunity when there weren't many cars in the lot a bit after the lunch hour. Unfortunately there was only one young lady working and she didn't realize that I was there and was very slow seating me. However she gave me a menu and my drink quite quickly. Sadly she then disappeared for almost fifteen minutes. When she finally showed up she took my order and had it out fairly soon. I ordered the chicken salad on the pretzel roll with waffle fries. The sandwich was very good, a bit small for the price, and I got plain fries instead of waffle fries which didn't bother me as they were pretty good. This is a nice venue with cute decorations. Unfortunately I discovered where all of the local afternoon drinkers hang out and it was VERY noisy. It was not the relaxed late lunch that I was looking for. I'll try this again because the chicken salad was excellent but I think I'll get it to go in the future. read more

This was our first time here. We came in during one of the Rangers games. It wasn't busy downstairs but we weren't sure how busy it was upstairs in the bar area. We ordered an order of fried pickles as an appetizer. Those were pretty good but there was a lot of breading crumbs mixed in. Those pieces were hard and difficult to chew. I'll first go into the service before I dig into our main entrees. We ordered our main meals and it took 40 minutes to get our food. By the time we got the food it was all cold. Our drinks were rarely topped off and our server would disappear for way longer than she should have been gone. Then we would occasionally see her in the back BSing with the staff in the kitchen. For our main meal we ordered the Mac Mama and a cheese burger with fries. The burger was dry and barely warm and the fries were stale. The Mac Mama was really delicious but also lukewarm. I will say the flavors were awesome and the menu is good but the service ruined it for us. By the time we got our food it wasn't hot anymore with also ruined the food. Take care of your customers, look out for their food when it's ready, and be diligent in waiting the tables. Atmosphere 3/5 Food (4/5 if hot) 3/5 Service 2/5 Menu options 3/5 Overall 3/5. read more

Blakely is an absolute superstar. She's running around the restaurant nonstop taking orders, delivering food, refilling drinks, checking on every table and somehow still smiling like she's got it all under control. It honestly feels like she's doing the job of three people at once, and she makes it look easy. The service was amazing because of HER, and you can tell she truly keeps the whole place moving. read more

I LOVE THE SOUTHERN LOOK OF THIS PLACE ON THE INSIDE ITS SO PRETTY AND VERY LAID BACK VIBE! FOOD WAS AMAZINGGGGGG. I went with my boyfriend for the first time he got the Mac Daddy and I got something from their secert menu on the board it was the spinach bacon alfredo pasta with chicken and yall the chicken was so juicy and literalky perfect and the Mac Daddy was insanely DELICIOUS!!! SERVICE WAS PERFECT. Staff is super nice! BEST PLACE TO VISIT!! read more

I was rooting for you Uncle worm! We were all rooting for you! Unfortunately we had a bad experience. Ordered our appetizers and entrees shortly after being seated but all the food came out at the same time (minus my salad). We ordered the campfire queso with the pretzel bread but were brought the queso with tortilla chips instead. We asked for the pretzel bread we ordered and ended up being charged extra for it. A solid 20 minutes passed before we notified the manager of the fact that one of us was waiting on our main dish (a salad). He just said "oh really?" About 2 minutes later our salad came but everyone else was done and fed up at this point so I just took it to go. The steak on my salad was too rare to eat as I'm pregnant (they didn't ask how I wanted it cooked or state that it comes rare) The check came and we couldn't believe they didn't offer to comp the salad and still charged for the pretzel bread that was supposed to come out with the queso in the first place. It was our servers first day so I can't blame her too much but the managers should have handled this better. I regret not speaking up at the time but we won't be returning unfortunately :( read more

Great food and service! Awesome atmosphere in a unique building! Will definitely go again when I'm in town!

My picky girlfriend loves this place. All she eats is the Mac Momma and fights me for her leftovers when we get home!

This is the best food in Central Texas! The service for lunch on Sunday was great too! How can ambiance be any better than eating in a big red barn in Texas. My bbq brisket Mac n cheese was excellent! You won't regret eating anything they whip up here. Visit! I highly recommend read more

Food was yummy and the service was excellent Cute local establishment. Will stop again.

Super cute interior, very cold beer. Slightly disappointing that they did not have any smoked burgers but the steaks were cooked perfectly. The Mac mama was good, huge plate of food. Servers friendly, prompt, bubbly....will come back to try that burger and some brisket next trip read more

My husband & I both had the Rosemary chicken, grilled vegetables & rice pilaf. Absolutely delicious! 5 plus stars! Service was great, too! read more

Don't be turned off by the name...their hand cut ribeye's was the best ribeye I have ever eaten. This wonderful piece of meat, had the best flavor and practically melted in your mouth, it was that tender. The purple mash potatoes were very flavorful. Plus the roasted vegetables were just as good and tasty as the rest of the meal. There were 3 people eating steak and one eating a Cajun pasta. Needless to say, there were no leftovers going home today! Every morsel was devoured. You must try this place. The only complaint was that the person eating the pasta, would have loved to have had some toasted French bread with it and then it would have been over the top! read more

Food was great. The owner came over and talked our ears off. We enjoyed him and his stories! Worth a stop

The name is disgusting and the food just is blah! Not my kind of bbq! Should definitely change name!

Came in not knowing what to expect, granted we were there on a lazy Wednesday afternoon and got there around 230 pm. We ordered the chopped steak which was the special and my girlfriend had the smoked cheeseburger. We were both amazed at the service and the food was Amazing. We will definitely be back!! read more

MY husband and I made the unfortunate mistake of eating at Uncle Worms. Orderd a brisket sandwich, a bun, half a hand full of brisket, half a handful of chips, 2 small pickle chips and 2 slices of onion (14$). On a scale of 1 to 10, l would rate the brisket a 2 . We also had a chicken salad sandwich, total price ($34 and change) . My opinion a rip-off. (Go to Rudy's and get a good sandwich for $8) Worm's a real disappointment. read more

Went for the first time. Very pleasantly surprised at the food and the farmhouse ambience. Device was warm and efficient. Didn't try the brisket, so can't comment. But the spinach salad and the pork wrap special were great. Had the deconstructed cheesecake...also very good. Looking forward to going back and exploring more of the menu. read more
