I absolutely loved my order of chicken and waffles. My waffle was perfectly cooked. The breading on the chicken tenderloin was perfectly seasoned and not salty. The fresh strawberries were sweet and really added to my enjoyment. I appreciate the organic and gluten-free ingredients. It's definitely a must on my next trip to Waco, TX. Last but not least, the owner was an absolute joy!

This was my first time eating at Mod Pizza, and it was awesome! They have a gluten-free option! This place is perfect for those who like lots of toppings, as you only need to pay for the crust, then you can add whatever toppings you want on your pizza. You can also get dipping sauce or have sauce drizzled on the pizza. The food was great, the restaurant was nice and clean, and the employees were kind and worked fast. Overall, a great experience. I plan to come again! 😁

My boyfriend and I were visiting from out of town and decided to stop at this very nice local place! I have dietary restrictions (gluten & dairy free) and Richard and Devon made it all possible by customizing my meal so I was able to enjoy every delicious bite! Truly some of the best service Ive received! Thank you Olive Branch! Will be eating here again

Love this place. My go-to for a gluten free cheese sandwich. I'm terrible at making them, so when I get a craving, I come here. The staff is wonderful and their options are quite perfect in their simplicity!

If you are looking for great BBQ in casual setting do not miss Terry Black's. I was not expecting its almost fast food style service where you select your sides (single, pint or larger servings), then meat by the pound (sold in 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, or pound servings. We had the brisket, plain sausage and pork ribs. All outstanding. Melt in your mouth brisket. The potato salad and coleslaw slaw are both vegan and gluten free for anyone avoiding those. Great green beans too. I missed that they dont offer collard greens. Corn bread was great too. Highly recommend for a relaxed casual lunch or dinner. The guy by the smoker even offered to take out picture by the sign and next to the smokers and to give us a quick tour of the smokers.

This is a good reliable burger! I've mostly had In-N-Out Burger in California and Texas and they are consistently good across all the locations visited. The Fries are fresh and crispy, the Vanilla Shake was excellent! Gluten-free options available!

We had dinner there the other night and it was amazing! I had the salmon with grit’s and our waitress (Anne D) was so knowledgeable regarding food allergies. I have celiac and she knew exactly what I could eat. I do wish they had a separate fryer for fries, etc. the dessert was amazing too. It has a great atmosphere and a great outdoor setting area. So if you have well behaved dogs, this is a great place to bring them. If we are ever back in Waco I will be sure to stop by and have dinner there again.

As someone who is both gluten and dairy free, what a pleasant surprise!! Being in the south I know that my allergies can be a challenge, but this restaurant had excellent options!! At first glance there doesn’t seem to be much, but the chorizo and shrimp are cooked in oil, not butter and the only thing I was missing out on was the bread. The potatoes were to die for and it was the best food I ate in Waco. Gina, our server, helped us pick The most fabulous wines to match the food we ate and the live music added to the atmosphere. I feel great after the food I ate and we had the best time. If I’m back in Waco, this is the first place im coming! What a gem!

We’ve been here 3 times and every time Ryan remembers and gives us 12/10 service and food. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough from the food, to the environment, to the service it’s all amazing. They remember things like my wife being gluten free or our son wanting ketchup with his fries and we’ve only be there 3 times in the past year. If you haven’t checked out Cajun craft you need to!! Everything on the menu is amazing!

Friendly environment and had options for gluten free - cauliflower crust margarita pizza was very good. They are dog friendly too! Charcuterie board was very good as well! They put bread and pretzels on the side so the others with me could have them since I could not.

The meal and service were great, but there was loud music from another restaurant - not the best experience for an expensive dinner. Yes - gluten free Ordered - tomatoes salad, 9oz filet, bacon appetizer
