Reviews
We ordered the rooftop ceasar salad and spinach artichoke dip for appetizers. Would not recommend either, lacking flavor—the spinach artichoke dip was runny and especially bland, although the homemade chips were good. Was almost more like a soup with full spinach leaves in it.
I ordered the ribeye, which again, was disappointing at the price point. Honestly struck me as a $25 steak from a local diner, marked up to $60. The salmon was good but very small portion. Lobster mac & cheese side was probably the best thing we ate all night, large chunks of lobster and decent flavor, although still just a bit bland.
I really wanted to love this place, but my birthday girl and I both felt the same way after leaving, the food just wasn’t even close to matching the atmosphere and price.
We loved the pimento cheese, and I had an incredible burger! Messy, but oh so good! Everyone loved their meal choice.
For starters, we ordered the cornbread with honey butter and seasonal jam as well as the cowboy caviar, both melt in your mouth delicious! We shared our entrees and 2 meals for 2 couples was just right. Our friends got the cheeseburger with steak fries and said it was the best ever. We had cedar plank salmon with Brussels sprouts and rice pilaf. While the entire entree was yummy, the Brussels sprouts were phenomenal! Another perk of sharing a meal was that we had room for dessert! The biscuit peach cobbler was incredible as was the Dr. Pepper cake! Everyone agreed it was the favorite dinner meal we had on our trip, which included many awesome dinners!!
If you’re staying at the hotel it’s great for a standard night out (though Waco has lots of more exciting food options to offer). Locals this is worth it at least once for the experience. Would be cool to see them get a more unique chef / menu.
We got the mushroom risotto and the sea bass. Our waiter suggested adding crispy pancetta to the risotto and it definitely took it up a notch. The sauce on the sea bass was very tasty.
Brunch was a similar experience. My chicken biscuit with fries was good. Drinks are fine enough.
Listen, we tried 3 different dishes and had dessert. I am a foodie, and can usually find something to critique, but this place NAILED EVERYTHING!
I can’t recommend it enough.
And ask for Zo’riya for your server. She is delightful.
We will definitely be back
Everything we ordered was top notch, from the drinks to the desserts!
Bertie’s has an avocado and apple cocktail that is a fantastic surprise.
We ordered the salmon, and the risotto and both were seasoned perfectly.
Our waitress Jeannie is divine! She made us feel at home and made sure that none of the dishes conflicted with my oh so annoying food allergies.
The only negatives I have are the restaurant can get a bit loud as there is very little to dampen sound (we had a table next to us at the beginning with a person whose voice could cut glass and were so happy when they left) and there was only one bathroom for the restaurant that I could find, and there was ALWAYS a line to it.
Overall my husband and I loved Bertie’s.
The service was fantastic. I had made a reservation online and checked a box to indicate it was to celebrate our anniversary. Upon arriving and checking in, the hostess congratulated us on our anniversary. She showed us to our table, and then our waitress came over and congratulated us. That alone felt special, but truly the whole night was awesome. Staff were very attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable.
Food was delicious, see pictures. We had the Texas Salsa, which is less of a traditional salsa and more of a “cowboy caviar” (just a wonderful selection of fresh things minced up and mixed). We also had the Chicken Paillard and the Cheesiest Cheeseburger for main entrees.
Atmosphere was classy and detailed, yet relaxing. Joanna & Chip Gaines really outdid themselves on this project. Waco really needed something like this!
