   We went for a Birthday dinner. Friendly welcoming staff. Not a large selection of beer, but we found one that was ok. Our first 2 appetizers (bretzel and scallop)were very good. The harvest salad with salmon was good although I like my root vegetables were not quite roasted enough fir my liking. The burger was good but the broccoli was hard and crunchy(again I like it done a bit more). Also, if you put diced onions on a burger you may want to tell the diner on the menu that’s how it comes. It is a nice modern space and is a great place to have a meal and watch the planes come in and out. We will be back.

   My wife and I had a bay week at work. We decided we needed a little escape so we climbed in the Bonanza and flew to Battle Creek to Waco Kitchen. I had a Maple Bourbon Pork Chop that was absolutely divine. Our servicer was excellent and very knowledgeable. Perfect evening

   Viewing the tarmac, watching a small private plane fly in for dinner and the very minimalist, spotless decor/design makes for great ambience! Our drinks were disappointing, as the liquor menu excluded our preferred liquors. Cobb Salad had fresh avocado but was unimaginative with watery, flavorless Ranch dressing. My friend's BBQ Burger with fries was average, local dive bars have tastier burgers. We will try again, as that was our first dinner there. In the past, breakfasts have been great!

    Two of our meals were missing items. The waiter didn’t notice that the bacon macaroni was missing bacon. And in my fuel up bowl there was lettuce replaced for the cabbage roll that is described in the menu. This was our first time there and probably will not come back.

    Food was good though some was overpriced. $10 for a tiny piece of dry carrot cake.? The service seemed like it was everyone's first week. No body could answer questions. It was awkward with how little the servers and staff seemed to know. I would try again a second time and see how it it and make a decision then if it is worth it.

    It was a beautiful sunset ambiance and was neat to be able to see the planes pulling into the lot. We even got to see a plane take off into the sunset, literally. Food was delicious with dynamic flavors, drink was yummy. All around wonderful experience and classy presentation

    The area we were seated in was not clean. Underneath the tables was dirty and chairs had not been wiped out. The quality of their food has really gone down since they first opened. Soup wasn’t hot, barely warm. The view is nice.

    The food was very good and a nice variety. Though the ambience was great, it was almost too quiet. Like you couldn’t chat among yourselves without everyone hearing, a little background music would be nice.

    Very good for a business lunch outing / team celebration. They accommodated al >12 of us. Menu choices are somewhat limited, but what they have is good. I would recommend their burgers. I have had the fish before and was disappointed.

    The food was amazing. I’m a burger fan and this place just became my favorite burger place in SW Michigan. They have much more than burgers though. My wife had the apple brined pork chop and it was amazing. The restaurant is located next to, but a part of, the Waco Aircraft hangar. Getting to see the works of art they call bi-planes is a unique touch of ambience. We will be back.

    Even though I had a confirmed reservation for Sunday, September 11th the restaurant was closed when I got there. According to the sign on the door they are closed on Sundays. Left me wondering how I can make a reservation 4 or 5 days in advance, but no one at the restaurant noticed that it was for a day they are not open for business??

    Delicious food and wait staff was so pleasant though they were understaffed. But that is true most places so I don’t fault Waco- they were truly working hard! Not sure why, but there seemed to be 3-4 tables with small children who all seemed to be crying or fussing- unexpected for a Friday dinner hour. Again, not the fault of Waco. Perhaps there could be a section they seat them together away from adult diners who are looking for a relaxed evening. Will definitely eat at Waco again!!

    The location and restaurant are very cool. But sadly the food and service just wasn't very good. We had four diners, and three of us didn't care for our meals: Salmon and Refuel Bowl. The bowl was a huge pile of saffron rice, small portions of other items, all of it very bland and lacking in spice/flavor. Our server must have been new - he seemed uncomfortable and kindof out of touch with our needs. We sat on the "porch" overlooking the airport, and it was very loud out there.

    We had a party of 5, we each had a different meal. All were delighted. When asked if we wanted ketchup or Waco sauce for fries we said, "both" so we were able to try the sauce. We reserved for a time around 5pm, earlier is better/quieter, before it gets busy.

    Food , service was excellent! Noise level was kinda loud due to high ceiling and metal roof. With the number of people in the room over looking the runway made a lot of background noise. That would not stop us from returning to enjoy the delicious food.
