Stayed at the nearby hotel and came in a couple of times during my stay the staff and food were wonderful, very friendly and had great conversations with Lexi ,Rina. Both of them were amazing and made each visit memorable. If I ever come back to Waco I'll definitely be making this a spot to visit.

The back 40 burger (jalapeño on the side) was the best burger I've ever eaten, the fries are good, portions are very good. Even kids burger was full size. Nicole our waitress kept the drinks full and was super sweet. The rolls were soft and the cinnamon butter delicious. When in town again will be stopping by. Also loved that for 8 of us the table was large enough, we were not in top of each other.

We did some traveling today and ended up in Lacy Lakeview for a pit stop. ✋🏼 Oh My Gosh this place was INCREDIBLE!!!!! I will never be able to look at another steakhouse again. We also had the absolute best server ever named Nicole!!!! She pointed us in the direction of the best food entrees the restaurant had to offer since this was our first time! She was very attentive, kind, caring, and answered all of our questions! It is definitely worth the drive and was priced very reasonably. We will definitely be back again!!

You cannot beat this place. The restaurant itself was clean, nicely decorated & nice atmosphere. Our service was fantastic. Carlos knew everything about the menu, was beyond attentive and we never had to wait for anything. The food, OMG, perfection. Steak was cooked perfectly and pork chops, Believe it or not, were the best I had ever tasted. BTW, We chose to get the new chocolate cake, dessert, get it you’ll never regret it! At the end of the meal, we got our ticket and we couldn’t believe it. The pricing is awesome.!

Ok let me redo this whole review. 100% better than first time. I really really really enjoyed this meal, experience the whole kit n caboodle. Service. "Abby" was great, new what was going on. And she knew the menu. Never let my drink run dry. Probably needs a raise. (Awesome job girl). Now the meal. Was cooked perfectly, appetizer was great and fresh. Nothing gets me more than having i start potatoes, but that WAS NOT the case here. Everything about this meal portrayed professionalism. Theres a reason this place has been around so long. If you get a chance to try this little local gem. Stop, ask for Abby. You wont regret it.
