Recommended by someone who lived in area and glad we went. Sunday specials were very affordable. Pizza , beer and soft drinks for three people cost $20 with tip. That is crazy good. Pizza very tasty. Even though we didnât have the wings they looked like they were very popular.

I had not been to BJs in a while. We wanted a sit-down-and-order place with a varied menu for lunch. I requested a table in a less noisy area. The service was great and the food was good. A lunch menu is available for smaller appetites. The waiter did not rush us at all so we had good visiting time. Waco has so many new restaurants it is easy to forget the old standbys. I'm glad we went to BJs and will be back soon.

Really cool place! Food was excellent. Striped bass was fresh caught and delicious. Shrimp was amazing. Appetizers were great, and I love hush puppies! Service was spot on. The blackberry pineapple marguerita might be a little pricey, but OMG so good! Loved the outside deck right on the water. Gorgeous view. We will be back!

The service is very good, though you may have a bit of a wait for your drinks even if you're sitting in the bar area.Good pizzas and excellent Fish and Chips.

We stopped here during the week for dinner and found it easily with parking beside it.It is a rustic environment and has indoor picnic tables as well as outdoor covered patio with tables, an open activity area and a stage outside.There was plenty of seating available as well as a large bar with stool seating.We arrived somewhat behind a very large group so there was a line to order but didn't take terribly long as they did have two people taking orders.They have a bar/grill food menu along with regular down home food.We ordered The Shed which was your choice of fried and choice of meat on top.So we got the waffle fries with chicken and turned out to be LOADS of waffle fries on top of a bed of melted cheese and a much smaller amount of shredded chicken on top with some pico de gallo and shredded lettuce on top.It was good at the start but quickly turned less so when the fries got cold and soggy and the then at the bottom the fries were soggy and drenched in the cold melted cheese.The idea is novel BUT would prefer less fries and more salad and chicken but it was still real good.The cost was $8 and then a 16 oz. drink for $2 so we were content.We had eaten here on a visit last year and enjoyed the food although we ordered something different so that's why we came back and tried another different item.Would probably return again if in town and wanting this type of food as they do have a varied menu.The large group was very noisy and put that with the loud music and a little to much noise for us.

The happy hour was worthwhile with many local folk taking advantage of the good prices. Additionally, the restaurant was willing to share a large steak between 2 with no plate charge. Talking with locals it appeared that a 16 oz ribeye was regarded as a normal red meat portion even for young ladies. The service was quick and friendly and the food fine.

Delicious Food, Great Atmosphere, Friendly Staff. Lunch time with the kids (age 11, 8, and 3)We came in to cool off on a hot day. A great stop as we walked from the suspension bridge, to the Dr Pepper Museum, and Magnolia Market. The buffalo chicken sandwich is SOOO good. Maybe a little too good, as I am craving it and live across the country.We would love to have you back for another buffalo chicken sandwich the next time you're in Waco, Jackie! We're so glad you and your kids enjoyed your time with us, and we appreciate your review!

Took out lunch from this location. Had three vegetables with a side salad. All the vegetables were tasty, and the salad was simple, but fresh. I had the chargrilled chicken wings, with a blue cheese dipping sauce. Delicious.

We went there for dinner at the recommendation of our hotel desk clerk and she was right on. The food is delicious and the portions are big. All this with good prices and a friendly atmosphere. Wish I lived in Waco so I could go often.
