Top Best American Restaurants in Lake Waco

"A Waco tradition since 1930, George’s won’t be an unfamiliar name to those born and bred in town, but it’s a must-visit for any new arrivals or visitors. As a big supporter of Baylor University athletics, students, alumni, and faculty from the nearby college are familiar faces here, while famous chicken fried steak and its own “Big O’s” beer count former President George W. Bush, Barbara Walters, and many others among its legion of fans. There’s perhaps no better way to get a taste of Waco’s history and culture than by stopping by George’s, so don’t skip it if you get a chance."

"A favorite of Baylor students and beer drinkers alike, “The Big O” at George’s is an essential Waco staple. Gigantic goblets of ice-cold, budget-friendly beer flow like water here, along with plenty of frozen drinks and margaritas. Soak up the booze with nachos, chicken wings, tacos, and more."
