My recent trip to Tommy B's on Valley Mills and Bubba's on Hewitt Drive produced similar results. We now have two places that make only average greasy burgers but can produce a pretty good breakfast. Tommy's is a bit nicer. The redo of whatever previous restaurant occupied that space is a bit classier. This version of Bubba's seemed cramped in the former Quizno's. Focus on the breakfast offerings at each and you will get some value for the dollar. I was told that they were better that the Zeb's across the street but that is not the case.
The new Heitmiller's is now open in Lacy-Lakeview. Like the previous location, it is next to I-35. The crowds have produced some long lines and a good amount of wait time for a table. Maybe new ownership and a clean new start will restore some quality to this decaying giant.
REDO EXCEPTION
After watching the renovation for months, A Cancun Mexican Restaurant opened in the former El Colorado space at 23rd and Waco Drive. I had sampled some of their food at a recent festival and found it worth a visit. Is it the best Mexican in Waco? No but it is an interesting lunch or dinner choice and a bit different than some others. Large plates! OK rice and well flavored beans were filling. I thought the shrimp cocktail was a good value. I will visit here again.
OTHER NEWS
The new George's is now open on Hewitt Drive. While I am not a fan of George's, I will check out the new location as soon as the initial rush slows down.
The 4th Japanese steakhouse in Waco - Tokyo - is still not open. Considerable work is being done on the old TGIFriday's location.
Ground has been moved at a prime location near Panera. Could this be a new restaurant in Texas Central Marketplace?
