This is arguably one of our favorite spots to eat. It's a Waco local sports bar/restaurant that offers almost any type of food you imagine. We've truly never had a bad meal here (except the chili dog...don't get the chili dog) and they have the best margaritas in town! They do have two locations so you can go to either one, but the one in Hewitt is newer and a bit nicer looking! (PSA: this is a popular spot for locals so if you plan to go for dinner you might want to get there early!)
If you're looking for a nicer place to eat or a big fan of Italian food, Di Campli's is the best! This is our go to "nicer" restaurant where we've celebrated several anniversaries and birthdays. The food is a bit pricier than your average restaurant but it is definitely worth it! If you do go, you have to try the bruschetta and their Italian margarita!
Spice Village is your go to destination for all your shopping needs. This place has over 60 vendors inside selling things ranging from beautiful clothes to home decor to pet accessories. If you enjoy shopping you can find almost anything here!
If it's your first time to Waco, Magnolia is obviously going to be one of the most recommended places to visit. This specific area has the main market, a coffee shop, a furniture store, and the bakery! If you have any questions, Amber's mom is the Magnolia professional!
For some less expensive Italian food, Baris is Waco's local Italian favorite. From the outside it does look like a hole in the wall restaurant but they have some of the best Italian food in town! It's also BYOB, so you can pickup your favorite bottle of wine from the store and bring it with you!
Lounge 93 is Waco's first cocktail lounge! They have a great cocktail and wine selection and have some great appetizers.
Fun fact for you: Dr. Pepper was actually created right here in Waco! This fun little museum will walk you through the history of the soft drink as well as the science behind soda manufacturing. There are several interactive options within the museum that will allow you to make your own soda, do a soda tasting, or even play a mystery game as you go through the museum!
One of the best BBQ places in the state of Texas, Schoepfs is located in downtown Belton!
Bird Creek is a newer brewery located in Temple. They have a great burger selection and a huge patio if you want to sit outside. They also sometimes have live music and have a great brunch menu on Sunday mornings!
Megg's is a fabulous brunch place located in Temple! Most of their food is locally sourced and is delicious.
Spare Time is a place with all kinds of activities that are both adult and kid friendly! You can bowl, visit the arcade, play laser tag, and eat!
