Restaurants near Meridian State Park

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food and service were wonderful! Atmosphere and ambience were warm and cozy. Beautiful stone walls, lovely bar area. Highly reccomnemd.

Having followed the renovation,vor many years and also of course Chip and Jo, I really enjoyed being in their space. There were lots of opportunities for joining in with other people and conversation but we were seated in the rear dining room which we really enjoyed because we wanted a quiet atmosphere. It was perfect. The space bordered an outdoor space that was not in use because it was winter. There was lots of natural light, the service was on point, attentive, friendly and genuine. We had the stack of "onion donuts" which we loved and the ranch dressing. Then, we had each a smashburger but we couldn't finish our meal and we each took half of our Burger home with us for later, it was great. It was good being in the space, enjoying the fellowship, great service in the elegant but casual atmosphere. Well done Chip and Jo and well done to the staff who carries their vision forward.

The decor was old west and very cool. We were seated shortly after checking in for our reservation. The server greeted us promptly. She got our orders but there was Confusion with the wait staff. One in our party of six didn't get their meal until everyone else was close to done. She also ordered corn and it never came. Each time something came from the kitchen they were stopping at the table next to us trying to serve them our meals. I even said once "it belongs over here"....the food was good but like other reviews have said the service was not that of a nice steak house. Hopefully that gets better because the steaks were good. Maybe numbering the table or some kind of system since our server didn't bring out the food it was other workers that didn't take our orders. We will try them again. The crab tots were excellent and the steak had a smoke on them that was delicious.

Incredible service, amazing food, knowledgeable and attentive staff, beautiful location and interior, One Thirty Five is the number one place for fine-dining in the Waco area. Christopher, the Bar Manager, was wonderfully knowledgeable of their wine and pairings, and personally curated a dinner and its pairings for me and my girlfriend’s date. Truly, it was an amazing experience all around and made for a very special night. I would HIGHLY recommend One Thirty Five to anyone who is looking for the perfect place to impress your significant other, or who are looking for the best upscale dining in Waco. Thank you so much One Thirty Five for an unforgettable evening!
