We were just passing through (first time in Waco) and searched maps for a BBQ place. I am glad that we found Vitek's as everything was great! We split this between the 2 of us and it hit the spot. Awesome Texas BBQ!

The Gut Pack is the REAL DEAL! Brisket and homemade sausage hit the spot. Will be returning.

I was in Waco for an event and this place was recommended by a co-worker. The place has been in business since 1915 so you know they've been consistently good for a while. I tried a bit of everything and still had enough to bring leftovers for the wifey. One of their signature items is called the "Gut Pack" which comes in a full/half order, I did the 1/2. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious and had a great flavor. The brisket and turkey were both moist and flavorful. The 3 cheese mac and cheese side dish is a must if you're a mac fan. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

We went here for dinner at around 7pm. They close at 8pm so we went in expecting the meats to be a little dry. When we got there it was really busy. There’s was a line to order but it went by pretty quick. All the tables and booths were taken up luckily one opened up when we were ready to sit. I think this place wants to maximize the amount of people that can dine but all the tables sit 4-8 people or more. Most groups were 2 people so the 2 people would take up an entire booth designed for 6 people or more. I would recommended Viteks to get more 2 people sittings. The food was in fact a little dry but it was still really good. The flavor was great and I know if I return it’ll be during the lunch meal and I can have higher expectations on the freshness. I recommend going early since when we went they were almost running out of brisket, they were out of ribs, and green beans. So the earlier the better. The Mac n cheese was amazing though. Everything tasted great. I feel if I went there at 11am it would easily get 5 stars.

Definitely recommend Vitek’s, it’s a must to put on your list! My wife and I went in she ordered the smoked turkey and I had to have the gut pack and can’t go wrong with ordering pulled pork nachos to share. Everything was really delicious, staff is friendly and work hard on keeping the place clean! Don’t forget to tip them.
