Lots of events bring people to Waco in the fall: Move2BU, football games, Family Weekend, Premiere, Homecoming, Commencement… You get the idea. And the one thing all those visitors have in common? They’ll all need to eat while here.<\/p>\n
For years, we’ve been writing up various guides for visitors to Waco. At last, here they all are, in one place — just for you.<\/p>\n
OVERALL:<\/strong> First, there’s our biggest single list: “Where to eat if you\u2019re visiting Baylor\/Waco (and what to order)<\/a><\/strong>.” This one is newly updated, with categories for what you might be looking for: coffee and breakfasts, long-time favorites, modern classics, and what’s new. And each of the 50+ places listed includes both a description and a specific recommendation on what dish to try.<\/p>\n COFFEE:<\/strong> But maybe you’re looking for something more specific. Maybe you just need some caffeine to get you going in the morning; if so, Waco’s got you covered. Last year, we wrote up our 20 favorite Baylor-area coffee shops<\/a><\/strong>, so you don’t have to figure out where to go before the caffeine kicks in.<\/p>\n BURGERS:<\/strong> Or maybe you’re just really craving a great burger. There’s plenty of those to choose from, too; we highlighted our 12 favorite Waco burger joints<\/a><\/strong>, from the classic (Health Camp) to something a little different (Kitok).<\/p>\n FINE DINING:<\/strong> On the other end of the spectrum, Waco has a burgeoning fine dining scene. We checked out a half dozen restaurants of the sort you might not have thought existed in Waco for our survey of Waco’s fine dining<\/a><\/strong>. If it’s been even just a couple of years since you visited Waco, you may find this selection surprising.<\/p>\n We even surveyed some of the leaders of Waco’s food scene to find out: “Where do Waco\u2019s culinary trendsetters go for our city\u2019s best meal?<\/a><\/strong>” (This one’s a little bit older — from all the way back in 2021 — but much of the advice still holds true.)<\/p>\n So there you have it. Whether you’re a prospective student family coming for a visit, a parent coming to see your Baylor student, or an alum returning to the old alma mater — check out a new place (and an old favorite) on your next Waco trip.<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Bears!<\/p>\n
