The pizza is awesome. My favorite is the "works" or the four cheese with canadian bacon. The original location on Valley Mills Drive features lofts in the dining room and bar. The Hewitt location doesn't have quite the same ambiance but is only a little over a mile away. And the food is just as good as the original location.

Fresh, made to order burgers that are just so good! I love the little eat-in bar. Nothing has changed about the place since I was a kid, and that is a comfort.

This restaurant is owned by the family of my daughter's best friend. They're pescatarians, so there are good veggie options. They also have great smoothies with all the add-in options of jamba juice. Close to Baylor, so stop by for lunch if visiting your kids or taking a tour!

If you love chicken tenders and don't have a Cane's in your area, this is a must go to. The tenders are never frozen, and the remoulade is such a great and unique accompaniment. You'll hear a lot about Bush's, but the chicken at Cane's is soooo much better! And the sweet tea is just as good.

This place has dishes that can't be found anywhere in Waco. Beef Wellington, escargot and a great wine selection. Higher end if looking for something a bit more posh while still local.

Also, this is the only place in town to buy fresh snapper. They're only open Wed-Sat till 7 or 8 p.m. Be sure to try the boudin balls!!

Everything is sold by the pound except large items, electronics, etc. But a pound of clothes is $1.49. You have to have a scavenger hunt mentality and not mind dust because everything is in huge bins to be dug through. I love this place and never cease to be amazed by the quality items I find! Of course, some trips are better than others but what makes it fun is you never know til you go dig!
