Welcome to the Newto News for September of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Jasper's BBQ
105 Clifton St, Waco, TX 76704
This East Waco barbecue joint has been a staple for decades, serving its first diners in 1919. Order smoked brisket and bologna by the pound, or consider the Waco Tornado, a giant pile of corn chips topped with chopped brisket, sausage, pinto beans, and cheese.

Kitok Restaurant
1815 N 18th St, Waco, TX
This small Korean eatery absolutely isn’t putting on airs, and is perhaps the only place in Waco to find solid bulgogi, kalbi, funky kimchi, and a great double cheeseburger in the same place. The fries are absolutely all over Instagram.

DiamondBack's
217 Mary Ave, Waco, TX 76701
Sometimes a good old fashioned steakhouse is the only thing that will do. DiamondBack’s has that, plus wine flights, a brand new cocktail menu, sushi, and hatch green chile meatballs that will put hair on anyone’s chest.

Magnolia Table
701 Washington Avenue, Waco, Texas 76701
All the Gaines-aholics have already been to Magnolia Table and braved the long waitlist, so great news: the couple’s new hotel has three restaurants to try. The Brasserie serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Its menu is largely Southern American classics with a few Korean dishes added in as a nod to Joanna’s heritage.

Jake's Texas Tea House
613 Austin Ave, Waco, TX
During breakfast, this service station-themed eatery serves up Southern breakfast classics a la carte. But when dinner rolls around, the tables at Jake’s become home to epic family-style spreads of chicken fried steak, creamed corn, green beans, rolls, and cornbread. Fortunately, there’s plenty of Texas-brewed beer to help wash it all down.

Health Camp
2601 Circle Rd, Waco, TX
It might be a bit of a misnomer, but at least Health Camp’s burgers are good for the soul. This old-school spot serves up a perfectly greasy burger, tots, and fries, and the super-thick milkshakes are substantial enough to almost qualify as a meal.

Taqueria el Crucero
2525 Robinson Dr, Waco, TX
Open for breakfast and lunch, Taqueria el Crucero is a solid stop for tacos, breakfast burritos, migas, and so much more, including options for vegetarians. Definitely try the queso, and order a jamaica (hibiscus) agua fresca.
