Oakleys Waco Reviews
Oakleys has the best balls I’ve ever had. Let me explain. Bacon wrapped, brisket + cheese stuffed lil bits of handmade LOCALLY made balls of heaven. I recommend hog balls with my entire chest. 10/10. And they are gluten friendly! No flour here, folks!
Layken is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had. From the moment we sat down, she was welcoming, attentive, and made the whole experience feel personal. She’s quick, confident, and clearly knows her craft — every drink was perfectly made and came out fast, even when the bar was busy. What really stands out about Layken is her energy. She keeps the vibe fun and positive while still being professional and on top of everything. She checked on us at the right times, remembered what we were drinking, and made great recommendations. If you’re lucky enough to have Layken behind the bar, you’re in good hands. She truly elevates the whole experience. Will definitely be back! 🍸✨
If you haven’t been to Oakley's in Waco you missing out, I came in with a friend and will definitely be back the wings are great, Ice cold beer, the atmosphere is perfect after a long day just relaxing, the waitress was Alexis and her conversation, smile and laugh just made the night. Perfect night I will definitely be back.
We came in to get some food and the place wasn’t that busy, but the bartender Layken was very nice and was really helpful with the menu she was very welcoming which was really nice :) great place and they have a nice dance floor!! I will be back!
OMG!!! This place is amazing!!! I just found out about Oakleys and I will be back the bartender we had layken was so sweet and had great recommendations we tried food and the drinks and both were great 10/10 experience and do recommend

Fantastic service. The bartender never left my glass empty and the steak dinner was amazing
Wow!!! Such a blast at this place!! I went here after a family gathering and the bartender Layken was so attentive and entertaining. They’re adding a dance floor an I am looking forward to it!!!!
I loved every second I was here the bartender Layken was so sweet and nice, made sure I was well taken care of.
This place is like a blast from the past. Old school design and decor, great food that is chef + country/southern that is always tasty, hot and fresh!
My name is Rafael Guzman I am a salary manager for Pepsi . I have converted myself to a regular here from George’s due to the employee’s Alexis, Maddie , Layken & there cooks they have great customer service & fresh food everyday . I recommend them as your to go to bartenders or food place the atmosphere here is better than any other place in Waco !!!!! From having a quick few drinks & appetizers to a weekend to go place .
Go see Layken!! She is the absolute best bartender. I love when I come in and she is working. All of the others bartenders are amazing too. Love the atmosphere.
Love the atmosphere and the people! My favorite bartender is Layken! She’s always super attentive and extremely quick!
Every time I go to Oakleys, beer is cold, people and staff are friendly! Food is on point! If you are in Waco TX area, I suggest you go! Alexis and Layken are the best... yea Bri alright. Good food good people good prices. Oooohhh there is pool too! Leettss goooo
First time I've been here in over a year. Alexis and Ivie did an amazing job taking care of me with beverages and a food order. They managed their time equally with customer attention with a full bar and multiple tables being occupied. This location is highly recommend for great food and great drinks.
Great experience! Alexis the bartender was fun and attentive. The wait staff is on top of their game! I had the patty melt and it was delicious! The music is loud enough to enjoy, but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. It was a fun time and I look forward to coming in again!
I typically go out here Sunday nights, so I can't speak for Friday and Saturday, but it usually has the atmosphere of calm dive bar. The people that come out here on Sundays are laid back without generally being rowdy. I don't care for the rowdy bars. I prefer a bit more relaxing atmosphere, which I usually find here. Being a bar, you wouldn't think the food would be more than a typical bar. But I'm here to tell you I haven't ordered anything that I didn't like. The food is on par with a quality franchise restaurant. It's definitely worth the money. And the best part? The kitchen doesn't close for last call until around 12:30-12:45am. As for the service, the girls who work here are sweethearts. Always respectful, but also willing to cut up once they get accustomed to you being around. There are times they get a little swamped, but with a little patience and proper order planning, you won't be disappointed. Definitely my go-to bar for the Waco area. 10/10 would recommend.
Happy to find an outdoor smoking area with fans and nice tables. Sadly it took over 20 minutes for a waitress to even come to us. 40 min later we got to order...long story short..3 "out of it" orders later...and 70 min after arrival we got our appetizer. Unfortunately it took a few more minutes to get a fork. Not hopeful on the dinner order at this point. Oysters on the half shell.. apparently decent for texas..so I'm adding one star
