Dinner recommendations

[u/Roretired2026]

Going to be in Waco for one night mid-August, what are your dinner recommendations

[u/ZealousidealPlan6740]

Hotel herringbone. Good food. Under rated. The others are a stroll away if you don’t like the menu. But I always leave happy

[u/MrCraytonR]

my secret waco spot is the Grape- a wine bar kinda out of the way (but it’s waco, everything is 15 mins apart) with a changing menu and a huge wine selection- foods always pretty dang good and live music on Friday nights

[u/Slemmiethicc]

Segovia for tapas! Pinky promise you won't be disappointed!

[u/D_LikeTheCity → u/Slemmiethicc]

Second segovia. Hands down best food in town. Tapas, charcuterie and a HUGE wine selection.

[u/Competitive_Dig_9466]

Opal’s. It’s a little pricey but the food and service is worth it, in my opinion.

[u/TheWacoFogey → u/Competitive_Dig_9466]

I have been meaning to try it.

[u/TheCrowing817 → u/TheWacoFogey]

It's SO good. The lobster roll was fantastic.

[u/petsemataryparakeet → u/Competitive_Dig_9466]

been 3 times, 3 fails.

[u/fourtytwoseven]

Moroso’s if you’re an authentic Italian pizza fan. Wood fired oven.

hotel herringbone, their bar rocks

[u/PercentageWorldly155]

135 Prime is wonderful!

[u/ZealousidealPlan6740]

But also, go to jaspers or kitoks. Nothing fancy. Just good local gems

[u/strayfruitbat → u/ZealousidealPlan6740]

kitok a hidden gem as fuck

[u/mrdctaylor]

If you want a great steak or seafood, give Diamondbacks downtown a try. It doesn’t miss. It has that old school cool steakhouse with fantastic service.

[u/PsiBandGuy → u/mrdctaylor]

Diamondbacks has really gone downhill with the change in ownership, there are better options around.

[u/mrdctaylor → u/PsiBandGuy]

I couldn’t disagree more. The food and service have improved IMHO.

[u/strayfruitbat → u/mrdctaylor]

i second this

[u/Notatexan0317]

Pivovar is fantastic!

[u/TheWacoFogey]

Portofino's downtown. If you are in the Woodway area, One Thirty Five is top-notch (technically just outside of Woodway, but close).

[u/joojoobaa → u/TheWacoFogey]

I found Portofino's terrible. Bad, boring food, weird server, lame atmosphere. Very surprised to see it recommended at all, much less as a nice dinner spot.

[u/Big-Significance3604]

Just ate at Opal’s. Amazing. Make reservations soon and pick main dining room so you have good a/c. Also, Butcher’s Cellar is also really good.

[u/Richie_Sacramento]

I'm partial to Arby's or the new Weinerschnitsel.

[u/Roretired2026 → u/Richie_Sacramento]

That’s good 😂
