“Came in with my bestie and SIX kids all under 10 years old. Everyone was very kind and accommodating despite the fact our rugrats were bouncing off the walls. Very affordable (seriously, 5.99 for a kids meal that come in a little car?! Love it!) I will definitely stop again next time I’m in Waco! “

“Walking in the door, we knew we were in the right place for dinner! It's very open and inviting and the energy pulls you right in! We ordered three small plates to share and we each ordered an entree. The food came out quickly, all piping hot and cooked to perfection! The Corn Ribs are absolutely stunning, tender, juicy and seasoned perfectly. The brussel sprouts were another stunning bite, so much so we ordered another one for our meals! For our entrees, the salmon was cooked wonderfully with a nice crispy skin, the pork chop was a tasty smoked medium and the short rib was melt-in-the-mouth perfection! Add perfectly mixed cocktails to the list too, they definitely know what they're doing in the kitchen and behind the bar!I highly recommend Milo All Day, every day and twice a day once in awhile!!“

“The food was amazing! We ordered the Nashville hot chicken tenders (which came with slaw, fries, and a hot bun) and a side of Mac and cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly and the chicken was so flavorful! Staff were super nice and establishment was very clean. We happen to stumble upon it while visiting Waco. If we are ever here again, we will return!“

“The lady who helped us was outstanding! She gave my son some suggestions on what type of wings flavors he should try, and he loved them. She even kept coming to check on him to see if he enjoyed them. My chicken sandwich was good, and my daughter enjoyed her chicken strips. The only issue we had was that all of fries were cold, like they were cooked and sitting out too long then thrown on our plates.“
