It was a great experience while visiting Jake’s Texas Tea house. We were greeted and seated imidiately. The atmosphere was welcoming and the theme decoration was unique and tasteful with many road signs, retro cars, and licence plates from all around the country.
My husband ordered Premium burger with fries, and I had Avocado burger with sweet potato fries. We also tried Chicken spaghetti which was delicious. The portions were generous and very tasty. For our dessert, we tried banana bread pudding and Penut butter fudge pie, both delicious. Our server was attentive and polite.
This was our first time visiting and we will definitely go back.

Such a cute place, all the old car decor is awesome! The service was great and the food even better! The kids meals come in a cool car carrier and adult meals come in a hub cap. We’ve been back since so good

Fun retro diner with 50s car theme and candy colored leather booths. Their menu varies a bit between the week and Sunday but they’re consistent with making Caesar salad table side and providing family style vegetable side dishes for the table. I especially enjoyed the chicken breast and creamed corn.
The have booth, table, and bar seating in a large inside dining room as well as a few umbrella tables outside.
There is street parking on surrounding blocks.

I recently visited Jake’s Texas Teahouse and tried a few of their offerings. The atmosphere is really charming, and the service was excellent—friendly and attentive throughout our meal.
As for the food, I had the chicken fried steak with fries and fried okra. While the sides were tasty, the chicken fried steak wasn’t quite my favorite. I felt the gravy could use a little more flavor to complement the dish.
On the bright side, I also had the Cadillac Melt with a Caesar salad, and it was pretty good! However, a touch of salt and pepper would have made it even better.
The decor is cozy and nostalgic, filled with classic touches that create a welcoming, throwback vibe. It’s a great spot for families with kids and anyone who enjoys taking in some old-school charm while they dine.
Overall, the dining experience was enjoyable thanks to the warm service and great atmosphere. I’m sure with a few small tweaks to the seasoning, this place will be even better!

The cafe is located in downtown of Waco and has its own parking lot for visitors. The unusual design of the cafe attracts visitors of different ages, it is interesting to visit both adults and children. For children, there is a small police car, which they can jump into for only 25 cents. The waiters were very friendly and served quickly, although there were a lot of people in the cafe. The food was very fresh and tasty, we were satisfied. If you are in Waco, then be sure to visit this cafe. I think you will be satisfied.

Jake’s Texas Tea House offers a charming atmosphere that feels like a step back in time, it’s very vibrant and retro with its decor and cozy ambiance, The vibe is inviting and sets a wonderful tone for the dining experience. However, the food left much to be desired, the dishes lacked flavor and freshness, falling short of expectations for a Texas-inspired eatery, their meals didn’t live up to the hype. The service, on the other hand, was friendly and attentive, earning a solid 4/5. The staff was welcoming and prompt, doing their best to ensure guests had a pleasant time despite the food shortcomings. It loses a star cause it took a very long time for the food even when there wasn’t that many people
If you’re looking for a great spot to soak in the vintage vibes and enjoy good company, Jake’s Texas Tea House is worth a visit. But if food quality is your main priority, you may leave feeling disappointed.

A bit of a wait but so well worth it. Our server told us they were short staffed but indeed did her absolute best and made sure we never needed to top our drinks off, made sure our meals were to our liking and did it all with a bright sincere and pleasant smile. Well enjoy this restaurant, the food, the fabulous eye candy set up and the incredible dessert.
Highly recommended if you travel through Waco. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve visited a few local restaurants in Waco, and all of them were really good, I went here for lunch to see if I could keep up that streak, and this restaurant surely didn’t break it.
Food
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Me and my parents got rather basic meals, but even then, they were all really good. I recommend trying their more interesting foods though, I’m sure those are even better. I got the BLT, my mom got the regular burger, and my dad got a chicken sandwich, all came with a side of fries, for my meal I added some watermelon along with my side of fries as well. Everything tasted really fresh and was packed with flavor. The buns were toasted perfectly along with the meat, and the mayo and condiments were really good as well. My watermelon was pretty good too, I was expecting an average watermelon, but the freshness and the nice balance of sweetness and flavor made it a little extra special. The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much were the fries. They were a little mushy but had a home style taste. I appreciated that it wasn’t loaded with salt too, but I would’ve liked more seasoning on it. It’s not enough to bring it down a star because I enjoyed it overall, including the meals. Definitely recommend the food.
Service
⭐⭐⭐⭐
The waiters were nice and consistently checked up on us to see how we liked the food or if we needed anything else. It wasn’t anything special, but it was great overall. The food came out pretty quickly, and we spent about 30 minutes in the restaurant, great service overall and there weren’t any major problems
Atmosphere
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I think an atmosphere deserves five stars when it’s not just good, but great, and special in a way. This place had so much old fashioned detail and there was a lot to look at while you sat down. Something else I thought was neat was that there were notes inside the crevices in the brick wall of the restaurant. They each had a message inside to read and was something I distracted myself with while I waited for my food. Another cool detail was that the food was served in hubcaps, you can’t tell with my pictures, since it was covered in food and was shown on the bottom of the plate. Overall, really awesome atmosphere and it wasn’t too cramped either.
I was really satisfied with this place overall. The atmosphere and the food is what made this place stand out among the rest. I wanted to try their pies but ended up being too full. That’s something else this place is known for apparently. Props to the owner for a great restaurant!

What a find! Never would have guessed we would find a place like this on our trip! I’m a car guy, atmosphere is 12 out of 10! I loved the “plates” are actually hub caps!! Food was delicious… They didn’t have T-shirt in my size…more “are coming tomorrow”. I will order one online!
