We’ve hosted Waco Babes Book Club at Cricket’s multiple times over the years, and it has become one of our go-to spots for a reason! Finding a place that can comfortably handle a large group of 50+ women, month after month, is no easy task, and Cricket’s has continued to welcome us. The staff has always been kind and accommodating to our lively group, the food is consistently great, and the space works so well for our book club nights. We especially appreciate having a reliable place we know we can count on for larger gatherings. Thank you for being a long-term home for so many of our chaotic, book-filled evenings.

The nachos were super large. We couldn't finish them. Then, the chicken wings I ordered tasted a bit dry. The jalapeno poppers I got separately were the best, and the Blue Moon beer was really good.

Great burger and fries. And wings. The fries were delicious with NO coating on them. Just sliced real potatoes! Wait staff were attentive, but kitchen staff short handed. There was a longer wait for food, but it was done right and hot!
