Love Yaki!! Everything is gluten and dairy free, and their rice bowls/boxes are so good. I especially love their Nug Box because the nuggets are deliciously crispy (and did I mention gluten free??) and their rice also has a wonderful flavor - I always get Xtra Soss. They also have fantastic waffle fries that rival Chick-fil-A’s. You can order from your car and they’ll bring it out, or they have a cute little courtyard in the middle where you can eat. Great playlists too. Portions are also large - they can pack a lot into a little box! 11/10 recommend - Yaki is a family favorite!!

Love this place. My go-to for a gluten free cheese sandwich. I'm terrible at making them, so when I get a craving, I come here. The staff is wonderful and their options are quite perfect in their simplicity!

It was all about Ms. Rita Joy. She and I spent a lot of time here with her family and friends and just us. I return to celebrate her life... time after time... it is one of my traditions. Her spirit is attached around town, and I visit where she still resonates. I seek to celebrate such a remarkable friend the rest of my life following what she mentored me to navigate against. She was a true friend who, until she died, loved me and taught me the things, only a mother could teach, which I believe is what I've needed the most in my life. My mother died at 39. For this, I will celebrate the one who taught me how to love myself because I am worth love. She taught me so much, and yes, she knew my Father, George Oscar Houseman Sr. My beloved father. They coriografered many of Waco Civic Theater dance routines here in Waco, Texas, many many many years ago. God bless all the hard work, anyone that knows me... it took. I have a family disease from my mother's side... Celiac Sprue disease. Ms. Rita totally understood. For this, I will always be glad to know someone who loved my daddy and me! So when you see me there, understand these people, I totally understand...me. God bless that Centra Texas has been my home since 7th grade, Robinson, Texas. We landed here after we left the island. For this, I praise the Lord, my Jesus Christ. I am safe and sound to bring in one more year. May 2024 be an eye opener for those who do not believe "Only God is the Victor, never the devil, he lies!" So hold on to what you believe. God is our only salvation! Wake up. It's time to go to Lonehorn Steakhouse, where the Holy Spirit lives among us. Thanks Ms.Rita❣️
Milo
1020 Franklin Ave, Waco, Texas, United States
A trendy spot with a modern vibe, offering unique dishes and a variety of veggies; some found the rice overcooked, but the service is top-notch.

A nice find while in a weekend away! Milo offers quality food in a modern clean atmosphere. Our server was so sweet. She was attentive and kind. The lead bar tender is a bit lazy but the other bar staff are ready to help and offer insight on drinks. The Brussels are note worthy!!! So yummy. The blue corn gluten free pancakes are also delish! The chicken sausage was seasoned wonderfully and a must order for brunch. The butcher block steak at dinner was cooked perfectly, but the price was too high for what you receive. All in all we would visit again.
Cafe Homestead
608 Dry Creek Rd, Waco, Texas, United States
A bit on the pricey side, but worth it for the quality and variety, with a notably good burger and unbeatable fries.
