We did not stay at the hotel but the restaurant was amazing, the food was delicious the service was great and very fast. It was a very chill vibe. The Texas schnitzel was great as well as the regular schnitzel and cream sauce. The cream sauce is enough to split between two people. The pretzel was also really fresh and great. The beer cheese was delicious and the mustard was not too spicy. The brewhouse beer was delicious we got the light beer and it was still pretty strong.

We didn’t stay at the Hotel but ate in the restaurant. Very European menu and the best beer I have had outside of Germany. The schnitzel and pork shank are delicious. Everybody was very attentive and friendly. We came in with a huge party of 15 and our server Avery was all by herself and did a fantastic job. Pivovar is one of our favorite restaurants in Waco!

Cool spot next to the popular Magnolia market. I did not stay in the hotel, but I did dine at the brewery/restaurant. Food was good, the stuffed pork schnitzel was kinda bland and small. Braised pork shanks was generous in size delicious portion. Nice interior Would have added another star to the experience had I not had to kill a big 'ol cockroach that was crawling on the floor toward our table near the end of the meal. Called up one of the servers to please sweet it up, which she did, then proceeded to share that the place is infested and crawl in from the walls all the time :) Appetite for dessert kinda died off after that conversation.

Best meal I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Everything was extremely fresh and flavorful, but it wasn't smothered in so much flavorful that you didn't even know what you were eating. All of the staff were exceptionally friendly. We ate schnitzel, mashed potatoes, Ruben, mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, and the sourdough pretzel. The portions were just right. We ate until we were full and took home a little bit of everything but schnitzel!

I’ve never stayed overnight here as I am a local. However, the food is really good. I really enjoy their schnitzel and fresh pretzels. The beer is great as well as they make it in house. I also enjoy their decor. You can dress up or dress down at this establishment. It’s a great addition to Waco. Just don’t park in their parking lot and walk over to the silos!
