We visited three places....

Christine_E, Nov 2025
We visited three places. The first stop we had wine and appetizers. Very good! The next stop was Mexican. The jalapeño margaritas were wonderful but the taco was just average. The last stop was dessert at a little place you would pass by if you didn’t know it was there however all the samples were delicious!!

Nice time with Sue our guide. She was very knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. Food was delicious and just enough to not overstuff us. Price was steep for what we got, however.

You must go.

Lunch across Waco

Dawn_R, Apr 2025
Enjoyed a three course meal over three different venues. They accommodated for gluten and vegan options. The guide was extremely informative about the area as well.

Start trip with Food Tour

The food was delicious at all 3 restaurants we tried. Definitely come hungry! I would definitely start your trip with the food tour to see the different types of food to eat at a later date. Best BBQ , wine tasting and samples were different but delicious. Mexican margaritas were the best I ever tried. Definitely recommend!

It was an ok experience. ...

Pauline_B, Dec 2024
It was an ok experience. However, the food was nothing impressive but there was a good variety of food. Everyone was friendly and we learned the origins of one of the restaurant. Would have like to know more about the back stories of the other restaurants.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for booking with us. We choose local award winning favorite venues for the tour. As with a wine tour, we ask folks to come with an open palate for the tastings to get the most out of the experience. Usually they love it, as Waco has a unique food scene, but sometimes it's not for them. Please contact us as we would like to discuss a refund.

The guide was very nice...

The guide was very nice and informative and the restaurants we visited were absolutely great and you will be filled up!!

Restaurant tour highly recommended

Theresa_L, Aug 2024
Our tour was excellent! The restaurant choices were amazing. I could tell that our guide had cultivated real relationships with the restaurant owners. We even got to taste a new item that wasn’t on the menu yet.

The food was very good....

HEIDI_S, Apr 2024
The food was very good. But the tour guides microphone in the van was not working so people in the back could not hear what she was saying. She didn't not talk very much as she was driving to give us information about the area

Pleasantly fulfilling!

Margaret_M, Apr 2024
Loved savouring local, but new food options. Although not part of the tour, being able to see local landmarks.

Great time in Waco!

Deborah_S, Oct 2023
The choice of restaurants and food was excellent. Rachael our guide did a great job. She gave us bits of history of Waco on our journeys to the restaurants and made the tour very interesting!

Very good tour,...

Randy_M, Oct 2023
Very good tour, restaurants were very good. The Mexican restaurant is outstanding!!! My only problem...just too much food in a short period of time. Maybe a bit smaller portions?

Yummy!

Terry_C, Jun 2023
Rachel the tour guide was professional & friendly. The food at each location was really good too. They saved the best for last with the dessert!
