We had steak fingers ( really good, seriously) and 4 large strips- had to give one to my husband and take one to go, chicken strips, quesadillas, and Philly cheesesteak sandwich, fries and okra. They have the style fries I like, they seem to have a slight flour coat or something. Just enough crunch but not greasy or over fried. Finished it off with blackberry cobbler it was just as good as the rest of the meal. We will return next trip to town.

We dropped in to Black Bear before going to the movies night. Unfortunately, we were disappointed…read morewith the level of service and quality of this fairly new Waco restaurant. I reviewed BBD a year ago for the first time after their initial opening and gave them high marks. Like so many places, though, BBD has not maintained the quality of their grand opening. My wife's broccoli and cheese soup was obviously a mix with very little broccoli, very little cheese, and bland. The tomatoes on my house salad were bad probably old. The corn muffins we received were cold and dense and probably straight from the cooler. Our waitress brought our food then didn't come back until we flagged her down to get our check. She was covering about 5 tables and spent most of her time in the kitchen. A runner brought our food out. It seems that Black Bear is going through that inevitable drop in quality that comes with an inability to sustain continuity in their kitchen and wait staff. Hopefully they will work through this problem and return to the quality we are have come to expect over the last year.

Stop in last night for supper after a movie. Haven't been here in a couple of months (life). The…read morefood has always been good portions. Always get the meatloaf with mash potatoes & brown gravy & the green beans. The dish has always come with a side salad and corn bread. Last the meatloaf had 3 slices (use to get 4) and the potatoes was a child size portion. The plate was overloaded with the fried onions. The potatoes had no taste to them & the meatloaf used to be alittle more seasoned with great flavor. The food came fast. Asked the server about the salad & corn bread and apparently now you have to request what what you are already paying for. I usually always request the salad in a togo box at order for lunch the next day, but was distracted was my granddaughter was with us. Service was good.

Amazing timing led us to Magnolia Table when they opened for dinner at 4 pm! We ordered the burrata…read moreand focaccia that tasted as if it came fresh from the oven somewhere in Italy. Served with a perfect burrata with green pesto that was most divine- fresh as can be. Mocktails are always my choice and there's a blackberry mocktail made fresh intensely flavored berries that's a wow. So being from Oklahoma my favorite meal is fried chicken and mashed potatoes. We split a plate and we were not sorry. The perfect little chicken gravy pitcher- piping hot- w a generous helping of sauce served two easily. For desert there's an extensive selection ( including strawberry shortcake) but we opted for just plain latte made impeccably. Congratulations. You've really made America's best restaurant imo! We loved it. Coming from NYC we are spoiled for great food. But you have a 5 star accomplishment in this place. Perfectly wonderful. A million thanks-- what a memorable meal!

This was one of the worse dining experiences in awhile. I've been wanting to try this restaurant…read morefor a while and I got the chance on Thursday June 11th. Our server was ok it really was the food that left a bad taste for me. I started with the signature cocktail a lavender lemon drop Martini only to have the server tell me they don't have all the ingredients to make one of their signature seasonal cocktail drinks. Appetizers we had the burrata which was probably the best thing I ate. My guest ordered the Bavette steak frites with Mac n cheese and I ordered the crispy chicken plate. Their fryer went down and we're not able to make the crispy chicken plate so I settled for their burger. My guest received her steak first and tried cutting into it. It was dry, rubbery and chewy. I had to wait 10 minutes for my burger to show up and when I received it the burger was dry overly salty and hard to eat. My fries were also overly seasoned and hard to enjoy. Definitely one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while. On top of that they locked the gift shop door so you had to walk around to the front entrance if you were shopping in the gift shop. Service is a 3, food is 1 and experience a 1. 1 star

Anytime I'm passing through, I try to coordinate the timing to eat here. Glad it's far enough away so I don't eat like this too often! Very few places make good dressing and Mac n cheese.

This place is like eating at someone home that you know can cook.

It seemed to melt into my mouth. The entire bold was hearty, filled with all kinds of goodness (tomatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, corn, and rice) served with a side of corn tortillas. Atmosphere: Definitely check out the bathroom. It was clean and modern. The restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere and it just gave me the feeling that I was eating at a place that was filled with love and care. Rene's is for sure one of my go-to Mexican restaurants in Waco. I can confidently recommend them to anyone.

I would highly recommend.
