If you have the chance you must come and try this place out. Perfect little restaurant with the best service I’ve had in years. The owner was incredible and just made us feel at home. All the food was incredible and perfectly cooked, it was a surprise stop that we will make again.

One of the highlights of my trip to Waco. A must visit if you want truly local. This guy (Papa) was the salt of the earth. Such a nice guy. A very humble man’s and a humble spot. It’s not a mainstream establishment and probably could use a touch of paint and a little tile on the floor. But hey, it’s the true experience. We absolutely loved it. We had three meat with potato salad and baked beans. I had beef, ribs and sausage. My wife had all beef. There was just one guy and he was handling all the drive through as well as dine in. All I have to say is ….just go there. You will have an amazing experience. I wish I could go back it I’m now 6,000 miles away. Thank you for your amazing hospitality.

Papa Bill is the sweetest man ever. I always look for out of the way places to try food in other states and this is a hidden gem!!!! Best BBQ I've ever had, potato salad is on point, and the beans were great. Take the time to go out and get some amazing food and meet new family. The sausage and chopped beef Thank you papa Bill!!!!
