About this business

We're a fun and funky family restaurant on the banks of the Brazos River specializing in Cajun and Creole cooking, we're happy to keep it spicy or make it milder if that's your preference. We've been voted the best seafood in town. We serve hot boiled crawfish and fresh oysters on the half shell when they're in season. Awesome pastas, burgers, and salads with lots of other options for people that don't eat seafood. We also have a full bar and a great beer selection. Be sure to ask for "duck bread" and feed the river wildlife... read more

The crawfish were not fully cooked and were horrible!!! I also ordered Mahi Mahi and � it was alllllright... disappointed for sure. Now the raspberry lemonade alcoholic beverage was awesome� long story short....not going back.

We have been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally did on one of our many trips through Waco. I really was not impressed with the food. The front hostesses were friendly. Our waiter was nice but the only complaint I have is that I sat with a empty water cup half of our time there. I’m thirsty! The armadillo eggs were ok, a little cold. The fried gator had good texture but no flavor what so ever. I ordered the catfish, same basic coating with no flavor, thank goodness for the lemons we asked for. The deck seating w... read more

As always we enjoyed our time at Buzzard Billy's. The menu is always a study and it is always hard to make our decicion as to what we want to enjoy as we have never ordered anything we did not enjoy. We love setting outside and our view of the Brazos was very nice. The wildlife was active and added to the experience. Thank you Buzzard Billy's for another great time and great food.

Well as a first timer and being from out of town, it wasn’t exactly the best experience for dining out. Started out at the bar, ordered drinks and appetizers. Waited about 40 minutes for a table when there were empty tables all over the place, got to the place before 5:00pm, not usually a busy time. When we finally reached a table to order dinner, appetizer came out quickly, should have stopped there. By 6:30 still no food that we ordered for our meal. Server was very attentive and checked on us regularly, would leave to che... read more
