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

Loved it. Great food and drink. A little hard to find and needs more parking, but worth it all the way.

The service was pretty good considering we were with a group of nearly 36 people! The food was bland and just wasn't as good as I was expecting. I think Razoo's food tastes much better. 

Business response:

Jeff I am so sorry to hear about your food. May I send you a private message that I may find out some details about what you ordered. This may help us improve our restaurant! Thanks!

We had the Wings for an appetizer and they were great. The rest of the meal was just blah. The gumbo was thick as paste, it had decent taste but it was not gumbo,. The Jambalaya was creole based and was too salty. The blackened catfish was not good. This may be over critical BUT when there are places like Tourchy's, Fuzzy's and Alpha & Omega that are knocking it out of the park, Buzzard Billy's needs to do better. 

Business response:

Hi Robert. I am so sorry to hear about your food. I am glad you enjoyed the wings but also saddened to read about the rest of your meal. If you wouldn't mind I would like to give you my contact information so that we can have you back and knock it out of the park for you. Thanks in advance!

Good food , good atmosphere. We came to Waco for a day trip while in Dallas. Our friends recommended we eat there. Being from Alabama , we have many catfish joints around. Buzzard Billy's catfish and shrimp were very good.
