My son went to Waco for college and fell in love with the area and has lived there ever since. We stopped by 'Georges" Saturday night at 5 pm and waited 30 minutes to be seated. The place was packed. Despite it's rather Animal House Decor I was hopeful the food would be 'great' as we had been told repeatedly.... More

If you are traveling thru Central Texas, Waco, well worth the effort to plan on visiting Georges. I have been to/thru Waco many times and cannot understand how I missed this place. Got the burger and fries Monday night special with a Big O. Great burger, special smoky taste, just the right blend of meat in the patties (2), purple... More

Mediocre food, lousy service, small portions, other than that it was good. Can't understand what all the fuss is about, Waco must not have many options for food.

If you are in Waco this is a great place to go! The food isn't haute cuisine but it is substantial and tasty. Service was great.

Great service, good basic restaurant/grill food. Biggest problem is waiting for a table! George's has two restaurants in Waco and both are very busy. Hewitt location is a great family place with outdoor seating in good weather.

I was a guest of a local who took me to lunch at Georges. It took a while to find it tucked across the highway from Baylor. The crowed parking lot said good things lie ahead. When we entered the restaurant during the later time of lunch, nearly every table was full. The restaurant was filled with locals and the... More

ICE COLD BIG-O beers, delcious fried food and home cooking! I want to go back right now! The patio is great for family fun or meeting up with friends! A must visit whenever we visit Waco and for reliving old times at Baylor! Love it!

Our Baylor University freshman daughter said we had "to try the best chicken fried steak ever!" So, she directed us to the visually unassuming restaurant known as George's. I was filled with apprehension as we searched a two-block area for parking. Entering, we were greeted by the world's friendliest staff. The main dining room was packed! Rather than force us... More

We recently visited George's Restaurant in Waco because we wanted a really good burger and we were not disappointed. We almost changed our minds when we saw that it was a 1/2 pound burger. We didn't think we could eat that much. The burger was so delicious that we ate every bite. It was Angus beef and juicy and delicious.... More

This is not actually a restaurant, it's a test. If you eat here and think it's terrific, you flunked and are therefore a hick. The bun on my chicken sandwich was one of those pasty white flour deals that sticks together if you pinch it, the chicken meat had cartilage on it and it was way over salted and greasy.
