The Vibe
If you're looking for a reliably casual dinner in Waco, the Applebee's on North Valley Mills Drive is a solid choice, especially for families or larger groups. It gets pretty busy around traditional dinner hours, so aim for an earlier meal or expect a short wait, though they do have call-ahead seating. Inside, you'll find the typical Applebee's decor: lots of dark wood, framed local sports memorabilia, and TVs usually tuned to a game. They’re known for their American comfort food classics, like the boneless wings or the fiesta lime chicken, and their 2 for $XX deals are always popular. Parking is ample in the lot shared with other businesses in that strip mall, making it an easy stop after a day out.
