We found this place because another place was closed but it was our luck...Great food and amazing service. Thank you Tamir for your spectacular service. You made our day. He was funny and helpful and made suggestions to make our experience the best. You have to try the queso tots they were sooo good. My hubby had the chicken tacos ? ? and he said it was the most delicious ones he has had and there was a sweetness that added to the taste. We found out it was honey and Chipotle. A must try!! My western burger was spectacular. The service makes this place even better. Will definitely be back when we are back in Waco. Check it out for yourselves you won't be disappointed.

First time here and so good. We tried the shishito peppers and Brussel sprouts to start... loved both! I totally failed at taking pics of all, but have a couple at least. I had the grilled fish tacos, but asked for corn tortillas and added the chili lime vinaigrette to them. They were really good. The grilled fish was done nicely. My friend got the chicken club salad and it was so pretty, and huge. They have a large beer selection, which was nice too. Best part was our server, Elizabeth. She was phenomenal and so on top of everything! Looking forward to coming back when I visit Waco again. Thanks, Crickets!

We loved the food we got! This is always a solid place for drinks too. Our service was a little bit slow, but very nice. If you’re looking for a quiet place to eat, this isn’t it. It has games and a huge bar with tons of stuff on tap. If you’re coming here for a good time, you’ll find it.

Great customer service, the waiter was outstanding. This was our first time here so he definitely helped us out in choosing some the best choices on the menu. The food was delicious, that day I had the burger of the day which was the Habanero burger. It definitely packed a punch but not to much you couldn’t enjoy it. Their fries where delicious as well, we got the fully loaded ones. They also have some pool tables and bar games in the back to have some fun while you drink a bit. The four star rating would just be for the lack of TVs and the size of them. I would of expected them to have bigger tvs like the 50” not the 19” to be able to catch some of the games going on that day. Regardless it’s still a good place to go catch a good bite and a drink.

Visited waco, then realized this place was in the same parking lot as one of the shops. I will say we did expect a little delay being a Monday afternoon. However the delay in taking our order and the waiter smelling like alcohol, then he disappeared. Even just getting another draft beer seemed to take a long time for such a space that had a full wall of draft beers. Thus our beer also got warm. The food that we ordered came out and was very yummy. Pb burger, tater tots, looks like a fun place, just wish maybe the organization of the staff was better.

A very vanilla, mid-grade American food sports bar. Nothing was bad, but it was all just “meh”. Burger needs seasoning. Their “world famous” cheese fries were surprisingly satisfying. +1 for having a decent craft beer selection including lots of Texas/Waco beers.If you’re in the area looking for a spot to drink a nice beer and play pool in a bar that isn’t a complete dive, then this is for you. For food, I say look elsewhere

Bummer. Arrived today at 3 and was told it would be an hour wait. Waited a half hour and they seated a few tables. They called peoples names 2 and 3 times and no one showed. They have people actually present waiting and they give no shows to much time to then be a no show. From the vantage point of the hostess station I could count 18 open tables??? Seriously? No idea what’s going on there. We left.

Came here to watch the Cowboys game on Sunday, and everything was perfect. The food was great and the bartender Haily took excellent care of us. We played pool and shuffle board and had a really great time. Definitely one of the best spots in town!

They weren’t busy (maybe 50% capacity), our food took a very long time to come out and one member of our party did not receive his food at all. They had to re-submit the order for his food and it didn’t come out until everyone else was already done eating. Our waiter was trying to be funny but came across as rude. The food was also very sub par, especially considering the price. However, the fried pickles were pretty good—really the highlight of our experience here.

Definitely a must-visit in Waco Texas. This spacious bar offers bar stools table seating pool tables and lots more. The food was outstanding the service was fantastic the selection of draft beers was quite large. I will definitely be going back here if I ever go to Waco again
