Bangkok Royal has been operating in Waco for 10+ years. We have been going there since college days when they were over by Baylor :) I don’t consider myself a foodie but I really do enjoy Thai food. Seeing as how they’ve lasted this long they must be good! And it’s the only Thai place in town haha I usually go for the Pad Thai chicken, Pad See Ew or Tom Kha Gai soup. Satay is our go to for the kids

So good! Ideal for lunch. The story I’ve always heard it the original restauranteurs had a disagreement as split into Schmaltzs and Schloctzkys! We think Schmaltzs is way better ;) There are two locations; 5th and Austin which is downtown and closest to the ABnB or 621 N Valley Mills

Home of the GutPak! Need I say more?? But really it’s been around forever and a local fav by far. Great BBQ and their creation called the GutPak: chopped brisket + Fritos + cheese + onions + beans = one filled gut (of course you can customize your GutPak) They even have the GutPak Run. Yup. Run a 5k and then eat a Gut Pak :)

Go for the tasting or the tour...or both! Balcones whiskey distillery began their story right here in Waco in 2008. I personally enjoy hearing the process behind a product so I like taking tours. You can also just visit for a drink. Check out Balconesdistilling.com for info on hours and tours if whiskey is your poison ;)

Located on the Magnolia Silos grounds this is one of our favorite places to grab lunch! Yes we fight the tourist crowds for this stuff. The name may be deceiving though - no club sandwiches here! They simple narrowed down their menu to the most popular item. You customize your bowl of rice, a protein, veggies and sauce. I’m not a food columnist so I can’t jazz that up haha but trust me it’s delish. He usually has samples on hand so you can taste the goodness. Youngdae is the owner/operated and always very friendly and cheerful!

This has been a favorite restaurant of ours for years. Excellent Italian food they’ve been in business for quite a while. I really love their Caesar salad and Eggplant Parmesan. While, this place does have cloth table coverings and napkins they’re certainly not above accepting people in casual attire. I’ve gone in workout clothes before.

This is located a short drive out of Waco in the city of Hewitt which is right next to Waco. While, it is located in a strip center it is known for being the place you go for anniversaries, birthdays and special occasions. On the pricey side!

Not just for kids! The zoo is the perfect size...you can quickly see it all in an hour or take your time and make it last 3! I have been taking my kids to this zoo since 2010. Our favorites are the howling gibbons, the playful otters and the beautiful orangutans. The zoo is literally a stones throw away from our ABnB. You might just hear the lions roar at night!!

This is our alma mater so we are partial. But the campus truly is beautiful! Lots of old trees and buildings; a few fountains and statues. Plenty of open space to walk, jog, ride a bike or throw a frisbee. You can find free visitor parking behind The Student Life Center. And be sure to say hi to our live mascot while there!

You can check out their website to reserve a lane, or try a walk in at the top of the hour (they run hour to hour) (www.wacoaxeco.com) It’s $20 per person for an hour slot. Up to 10-12 people can be in one lane. But also perfect for a date night! You’ll be helped by an axe Coach and they can instruct you as needed and also lead competitions if you’re actually good haha

Sightseeing

Currently under construction :( The suspension bridge is restricted to pedestrians and bicyclists so it’s the perfect place to get a look up and down the river. Located on Franklin Ave it’s near restaurants, the convention center and shops. There are life size statues of Chisholm Trail riders and their cattle. You may also notice a large statue and sculpture on the north side of the bridge. That is Doris Miller who was the first African American to be awarded the Navy Cross; for manning anti-aircraft guns and tending to the wounded during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Local youngsters are known to toss tortillas on to the near by pillars.

Cameron Park is Waco’s hidden gem! Acres of green and trails for walking, jogging or bicycling. You can take it easy on the flat river trail or venture into the wild on one of the many more adventurous trails. Be careful some are for bikes only so keep an eye out for signs. You can park at Redwood shelter and walk to the River Trail trail-head. Or just keep driving into the park for a tree lined drive. You’ll find several mini parks with parking and trail heads along the way. It’s all beautiful so just take a chance on any of the trails :) Don’t forget your phone for finding your way around the park - even the trails are on Google maps.

The parks and recreation areas on Lake Waco are managed by US Army Corp of Engineers. While a majority of the areas are for RV camping or tent camping and are reservation only there are a few day use areas. As of right now I believe Twin Bridges is the only open day use area. There is a beach area for swimming.

This is just 5 minutes up the road from the AB&B so if you have an hour or two and any interest in mammoths, paleontology or just want to get outside for a bit check this national monument out! It’s a fairly small exhibit so it doesn’t take long. You’re basically going to see the mammoth bones still laying where they were discovered! If you would like to go I highly suggest you look on the website and find a time for the ranger guided tour!

Pretty much the main Waco attraction these days! This area has the Magnolia Shop, food trucks, the Magnolia bakery and new coffee shop. There is a large faux grassy area for kids to run and play, and adults too! Several food trucks - burgers, hot dogs, pizza, gelato, sweet tea. Our favorite is Club Sandwich is the back corner! The name is deceiving though, no sandwiches served there, haha. They now serve what everyone loved from the original menu which was once called trash can salad I believe. Pick your meat served on shredded lettuce and rice, mix in onions and carrots. Top with cilantro lime sauce or siracha or both! The gentleman that owns the food truck is super friendly and always offering samples!

Well this little coffee shop use to be just the musky college hangout but has now grabbed the attention of many more since it was on an episode of Fixer Upper. My favorite has always been the Cowboy Coffee with and extra shot of secret sauce...cause I like my coffee sweet! They often host live music on weekends. There is a drive thru tucked between CG and Heritage Creamery that’s next door. This CG location sits on the edge of campus right off I-35.

There is a drive thru tucked between CG and Heritage Creamery that’s next door. This CG location sits on the edge of campus right off I-35. There is a newer Common Grounds coffee shop in nearby Hewitt that shares space with SlowRise Pizza

*Temporarily moved to 924 Austin Ave (due to recent water damage from winter storm Uri) Best to find them on social media to make sure they’re open* Just go! Haha But seriously this is a shopping dream because there are 50+ venders under one roof! 90% new items but a few booths have vintage things

Antique Mall, two floors! Well more like 1.5...the second story never seems all the way full haha. Located on Austin Ave it’s worth stopping in if you’re just walking downtown
