    Banana Pudding
    Rebekah P.

    Had a wonderful time at Vitek's very good Texas Barbecue and amazing banana pudding. The service was great, the cashier was very friendly and helped with choosing a good meal. The ambiance was calm and nice.

    "Gut Pak" (half)

    A Waco institution! Skip Rudy's and drive down the road a short distance! FRIENDLY service! Tasty lean brisket, awesome jalapeño sausage, on point pinto beans, and that 3 cheese Mac hits the taste buds!

    Spud Pak - Chopped Brisket

    We went here for dinner at around 7pm. They close at 8pm so we went in expecting the meats to be a little dry. When we got there it was really busy. There's was a line to order but it went by pretty quick. All the tables and booths were taken up luckily one opened up when we were ready to sit. I think this place wants to maximize the amount of people that can dine but all the tables sit 4-8 people or more. Most groups were 2 people so the 2 people would take up an entire booth designed for 6 people or more. I would recommended Viteks to get more 2 people sittings. The food was in fact a little dry but it was still really good. The flavor was great and I know if I return it'll be during the lunch meal and I can have higher expectations on the freshness. I recommend going early since when we went they were almost running out of brisket, they were out of ribs, and green beans. So the earlier the better. The Mac n cheese was amazing though. Everything tasted great.

    I'm originally from Waco and so much has changed, but thankfully Vitek's Gut Pack is still as delicious as I recall! The box is absolutely filled to brim and will leave you hurting in a good way! We chose to sit outside on their covered patio which also has a fire pit and TVs to enjoy some sports. Definitely check out Vitek's if you're passing through!

    2 meat and 2 sides plate. Yum

    BBQ FOR DAYS!!! What a cool spot. The industrial warehouse interior makes it rustic and cool kind of like an old firehouse or garage. Really like the extra touches of making it feel like a casual communal space without being crowded between seats. It's just enough noise without feeling like you're yelling over each other if that makes sense. There's also outside dining with TV, bench seating and heat lamps for the cooler days. I ordered the standard 2 meat option with sides. The brisket slightly fatty, jalapeño sausage, the mac and cheese and potato salad. Can't go wrong with any of the other choices. Glad I tried this place. If you're in Waco or driving through I definitely recommend stopping by. Solid place. Cheers! XO

    Chopped Brisket Sandwich and Side of Potato Salad

    We stopped I here for a bbq dinner. We weren't disappointed. I had the chopped beef sandwich and potato salad. The beef was tender and flavorful and the potato salad was almost as good as my mom's! If you are looking for a casual joint for some good food, try Vitek's.

    I don't know why they call it a market because the only thing "market" about it is that they sell loaves of bread & small bags of chips. Place is clean with a Texas flair atmosphere. You order at the front counter and take a seat and they bring your food out to you. I ordered the GutPak which is bbq beef , chili/ stew ish yumminess, cheese, jalapeño, pickles on the side and your choice of a second meat they mix in-all piled on top of Fritos. and of course it's served with 2 slices of bread. They offer it in half size or full size and both are way more than 1 person could eat. I shared a full size & we couldn't finish it. It was good, only complaint may be to add more frites.

    Good Texas BBQ. It was a quick stop during a trip to Austin. Friendly, nice place and will stop again. I was glad I took a picture because I could not remember the name of the spot. Lol

    I think if you were to sit outside it would be, there are a lot of covered areas outside to sit and eat and a bathroom.

We finally made it to this one and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is spacious with many picnic tables covered with checkered tablecloths. The ceiling is vaulted adorned with beams. It's a very casual & rustic ambiance. I opted for the brisket sandwich while hubby craved the smoked turkey sandwich. The sides chosen were the creamed corn and potato salad. Our entire order was packed in one of those hefty dishwashing trays. Very clever. Staff were friendly and food came out quickly. We totally savored all the food. The brisket was just as tasty & tender as I remembered and hubby's smoked turkey had his tastebuds singing! Hands down the best creamed corn anywhere and their potato salad was excellent, too. Let's not forget their "sauce!" Everything was so flavorsome. Since we had leftover potato salad & creamed corn, we ordered BBQ sausage to go for dinner at the hotel later that evening. It was delicious, too. We're so happy we came by. Rudy's remains our #1 BBQ destination in Texas.

The restaurant is clean and spacious and it was great to watch a bit of Sunday afternoon football on the 3 large TVs on the back wall. The owner Anthony Walton was getting his steps in walking from the prep room to his smoke room. He took the time to greet his guests, and knew the regulars by first name basis. He made his way to my table and shared his personal journey of chasing flavorful smoke meat, and how he got to his new place on 417 N Lacy Dr. The only reason I'm giving a 5-star review is because that's the max it allows me. I'd give 10 stars x 10! It really is a MUST go. For all you Waco residents, you're blessed to have Anthony and his amazing team as your neighbor. Plan to go early, as droves of people came and ordered big amounts of food. I got there 2 hours after opening and the turkey was already gone. But the brisket and the brisket burnt tips were off the chain, so juicy and flavorful. I'm pretty sure I'll be dreaming about it!

I was staying near Waco for a few days, but the area I was in had very limited choices for food. So, I looked up some nearby restaurants in Waco, and found Cajun Craft. It was worth the drive in from where I was staying. From the outside, it doesn't look like much: small parking lot, rusted roof, etc. However, I have found that often conceals some of the best places. An immediate friendly greeting was offered at the door and I was surprised by the quaint setting. There were only a few tables near the bar, but there was a covered patio attached and even more seating outside. The menu offered most of the traditional Cajun dishes at a modest price, but I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the Atchafalaya Catfish, a catfish filet over a bed of rice smothered in crawfish Étouffée. It was amazing. The Étouffée was rich and hearty, with the perfect spice level, maybe the best I have had west of Baton Rouge. The catfish was crisp and golden, giving a great balance to the creamy Étouffée. If you are ever in the Waco area and have a craving for some authentic Cajun cuisine, you must give Cajun Crafts a visit.

Off its first appearance, the restaurant appears as your classic no-frills, get-what-you-asked for establishment. There is lots of outdoor seating, very fair pricing, and a surprisingly extensive menu; I doubt you'll fail to find something you enjoy here. Overall it seemed like a location that would be bumping in conjunction with Baylor college nights, post church service, or otherwise Waco-oriented affairs. My only complaint was really the smell. We came near close when some workers were cleaning, however there was an apparent chemical stench within the patio, between the inside seating and outdoor seating. My partner ordered the sausage po boy, while I ordered the fried chicken plate, wish mashed potatoes & gravy + green beans. The wait was rather long, which can be attributed towards the chicken's cook time - which might be front scratch. After we got our plates, I certainly couldn't complain. The chicken was decently sized and decadent with flavor. Consistent, strong Cajun spicing littered the tray and chicken, while its interior was extremely juicy and filled with flavor; additionally, it still maintained structure and provided a nice crunch on the surface. The mashed potatoes were equally as enjoyable. The gravy complemented the potatoes well, and established an equilibrium through texture. The green beans however, were not my favorite. They initially appeared fine on the surface, but became watered down and lacking in flavor the farther down the bowl you went. I would not be surprised if these beans were canned. I would certainly find myself eating here again. Its biggest appeals are the prices, genuine quality of food, and disposition. It is not perfect, but it is more than satisfactory. If you cannot get over the minor inconveniences that you may run into here, then you probably shouldn't be eating Cajun anyways.
