Alpha Omega Grill & Bakery

My daughter is into Mediterranean food so she insisted. Me not so much so I played it safe with a beef gyro. First impression from the outside was not great. Place seemed vacant then I saw a couple of tables that hadn't been cleaned up. I went inside and it picked up. Nice atmosphere. Easy to order. Thay called my name within 10 min. Good service. Gyro was nice. My daughter loved her food. I think she has a favorite place now.

My husband and I visited this restaurant on Thursday; it was our first time dining at this establishment. The prices are incredibly low for the portions, location and cuisine. We loved the friendliness of all the staff, the option to eat outdoors, large bathrooms, extremely clean inside and outside and the variety of food. I was extremely disappointed with the fried cheese balls; although the portion and price were spectacular the cheese was practically non-existent.

The Chicken Souvlaki is excellent! The French Fries are perfect! The staff is friendly and helpful! I was able to purchase my Greek Olive Oil and get an amazing lunch while enjoying the Greek music playing overhead!!!

Stopped in during a roadtrip and am so glad we did!!! The food was delicious!! The staff was kind and the prices were great! Would deff recommend this place to anybody visiting Waco and is unsure of what to eat!

Counter order restaurant. Excellent beef choices for Gyros and plates. Including a Ribeye Gyro! Reasonably priced considering the food quality. Bakery items on display but I didn't try any.

My favorite way to kick off the weekend. A Saturday ritual of an amazing gyro from Alpha Omega, followed by the fellowship and support of an AA meeting. Highly recommended, even the meeting – if you need it. 😉

The restaurant has a small bakery cafe feel. It not usually super busy so you can easily find a spot to sit with no wait. You order at the counter and they call your name when your food is ready. The stove was great. They’re really friendly and knowledgeable. The food here is fantastic. They gyros are pretty big so keep that in mind.

Atmosphere looks good and clean, so I thought. The clean spoons still had dirty food on them, I didn't even want to eat my food after that. The soup i order had too much vinegar or acidity, I only ate one spoonful. The gyro sandwich was OK, but the pita bread here is like a loaf, its way to big and thick. I wish the sandwiches had some other veggie than onions and meat. I wouldn't return. Its a Saturday night and this place has been empty from 6-8p. That says alit about what people think about this place. But go try it for yourself.

Made a quick trip to Waco to head to the silos. When we arrived in town from the DFW area, we decided to grab a quick bite to eat. Alpha & Omega Mediterranean Grill and bakery hit the spot ! As you can see from the photos the foodlooked delicious. And, the flavor met expectations. I enjoyed the grilled chicken thighs, which had a nice lemon mustard flavor, some rice, broccoli, and pita bread. I also had some chicken orzo soup, which when it first came out was tepid in temperature. However, the team snapped to action and, reheated it promptly. All in all everyone in my party enjoyed their food. Fortunately, we beat the lunch rush and did not have to wait very long to get our food and seats were ready available. The vibe inside was rustic and warm and the staff was friendly and polite! (It's possible to be friendly without being polite, but this crew really hit the mark)

Do not recommend this restaurant. Tried if for the first time for lunch and was disappointed with the food and with The whole experience. The tables are way too close together and hard to get around. Ordering the food was an ordeal because the cashier was very confused. The food was not really good at all. The Pita bread was Delicious though

I have been here a few times with my parents and it is fabulous every time! The ribeye gyro is especially delicious. The woman working the counter is lovely every time :) Really nice to sit out on the patio when it's nice outside. Will be returning!

Had a delicious meal last night while we were visiting in town, enjoyed so much. I made the walk back by myself for lunch.

Ate lunch here yesterday with a friend. Had not been in for a while as I usually bring food in and eat at my workspace. Wow, incredible food! Nice setting also. I had the souvlaki, and we ordered chickpea balls, and calamari to share. My friend had a.gyro sandwich. First of all, without any hesitation, I can say that the calamari was among the best I've ever eaten and I've probably ordered calamari 50 times in the past two years. Amazing! Flash fried with a very tasty topping that was mostly calamari and just a thin layer of breading/coating. The chickpea balls, which my friend recommended, we're also outstanding. Deep-fried on the outside and very firm, but incredibly soft on the inside. Perfect presentation! Souvlaki was a nice size portion, which was accompanied by rice and vegetables. My friend enjoyed her gyro too. One of the best meals I've had in Waco in a long time. Also, not a long wait for the food despite a decent size lunch crowd. Nicely done!

I was quite surprised how good this place was. It is a super casual sit down, but the food was solid. You order at the counter and sit down. They call your name when its ready. We had shrimp, chicken and pork gyros (whole family) and everyone loved theirs. The pita is so fluffy and fresh. I wouldn't take it for take out as its too good fresh right there. The dolmas were also great! Skip the calamari.

Very good Greek spot. Everything was top tier right down to the pita. The fries were fresh and crisp.Tha baklovah was crispy and just moist enough.The one down side was that they didn't have the traditional lamb gyro that comes off the spit. Just shredded lamb. I liked that they had a huge dessert and coffee selection.We are in town from San Antonio and would definitely come back again.

It's only a few blocks from where I work and it never disappoints. Lunch or dinner the food is always fresh and tasty and the desserts are absolutely fabulous. The prices are very reasonable as well!

The Salmon is amazing. The truffle fries are awesome! The Gyros are spectacular! The food is delicious and the cooks are talented! The atmosphere is nice and clean! The service is always very friendly.

Best place for a healthy Greek lunch, the salad is amazing! I crave this salad often.

Alpha Omega is my favorite place to eat when passing through Waco. Their beef gyro is like, $6.50. I add fries to mine. The baba ganoush is amazing but the real star is the pita bread. Homemade, soft, melt in your mouth but thick enough to hold up to it's fillings. Give me a stack of that pita bread, some falafel, baba ganoush and go away! Their desserts may be the best I've had in this town. Idk what you call it but of them has a baklava or kunefe type base with a Bavarian cream filling and whipped cream on top - heavenly. I'm told they are all homemade, too. Located next door to a great cha place. Walkable are, near downtown and union hall. Plenty of parking.

I love this place and have come back many times and it is consistently amazing. I always get the beef gyro and hummus with pita and veggies. The beef gyro had so much flavor in the meat and the pita is so soft, you can tell that it is fresh. I love looking at what pastries that have today in the container even though I never get them. I appreciate the quality and consistency to change it out almost everyday. Must go in Waco!

As someone who loves Greek food- Waco missed it with this one. The "on the spit" meat is pork, so a pork gyro was suggested. It was nothing but fat and onion rolled up in a pita. A disappointment. The hummus was the redeeming factor for the meal. I wish I could give more stars but with a limited menu and poor quality.... We didn't even have the stomach to try the baklava (a Greek staple)!

The food is always yummy but I ordered the wrong thing online bc I was confused by the wording! My B...... but the manager at the Hewitt location helped out big time and gave me the gyro I was after when I called in and told them about it. Customer service 10/10 Super thankful!

It was so good!! Beef was nice and tender and I love the fries . They were a great pair and a well worth stop.

Come here occasionally for a gyro. good food and usually comes out pretty quick. you get a lot of good and at a good quality for a pretty cheap price.

Review is based on a to go order. Food was solid but customer service was not impressive. I had the simplest order hoping it would be hard to get wrong. The small Greek salad came with balsamic that I didn't use. I also ordered the dip trio with pita, olive dip, humus and tzatziki. I was happy with everything except the olive dip. As someone else mentioned, it tasted like chopped black olives and not much else. I used the tzatziki as my salad dressing and appreciated both the flavor and textured of the pita. I only interacted with staff for maybe 30 seconds. My order was ready when I arrived but I had to initiate everything. Staff waited for me to approach, give my reason for coming to the counter, etc. A simple greeting to break the ice would have been nice. The lack of interest cost them a star. I took off the 2nd star for the lack of utensils and napkins. Maybe there's an area where I was supposed to pick these up but it would have been nice to know. I blame the lack of customer service for the oversight. I was at a hotel so I actually needed a fork. Of course I didn't know until I got all the way back to my room. The food is worth giving them a 2nd chance but if the experience is the same, it will be my last.

Hewitt Location: Went for a visit this afternoon. Food was salty with no flavor. Service - horrible. Lots of staff members but service was not existent. AC broke down while we were there, no announcement was made by the staff. They just locked the front door with no instructions where to exit. No thanks for coming or anything like that... horrible experience all around :(.

this place is so good and reasonably priced! you genuinly can't go wrong but I recommend any gyro or the lemon orzo soup!

Super delicious! Hummus and pita/ veggies were amazing. I loved the pork gyro and the Greek fries! Clean restaurant and fast friendly service too.

If you are used to gyros with the beef and lamb combined and sliced from a cone of spit roasted meat, this is not it. I just learned the beef/lamb mix is more Turkish than Greek. This place however is real Greek! Nice place in a revitalized part of Waco not far from Magnolia restaurant. Has chicken, pork, beef or lamb gyros and kabobs. Fresh homemade pita bread was fluffy. Me and my husband had the lamb gyros. He had the feta fries and I had the Greek salad. The salad was good but had a balsamic dressing. I was thinking it would be a lemony dressing a lot of places have but it didn't. It was good just not what I was craving. There were a couple thin slices of tomato, a couple cucumber slices, some red onion and a couple or three green olives. I was a bit disappointed by that, but it's ok. The pita bread was not the texture I have had before. It was just different. It was fresh today and nice. The lamb was probably braised and it WAS juicy and seasoned but not the flavors I would am used to in a gyro. It was shredded as well, very different. My husband doesn't complain much when it comes to meat so if he doesn't like a dish, there is something wrong. Neither of us enjoyed the gyro and did not finish it. Just not what we were craving. I'm sorry about wasting it. I can't vouch for any other dishes they serve and there were plenty of people in the restaurant so people obviously like it. It is in a trendy area too. Good location, walk up ordering, nice staff.

The food was excellent. The server was wonderful. People were friendly. It was just a great experience.

Amazing! I ordered spanakopita, chick pea balls, and combo spreads with pita, hummus, and baba ganoush. Everything was delicious and I had plenty of food for two meals+.

We love the quick walk up and order service. We also enjoy the cool atmosphere. The food is alway yummy!

While we were passing through town, we heard of the most rated Mediterranean restaurant was alpha omega. We went in during peak lunch hours. Although it was busy, our food came out pretty fast, around 6 min. I was recommended by the cashier trying the ribeye gyro. My fiancée had the veggie gyro and the fried chickpea balls. The ribeye gyro was delicious and filling. I was warned that it was going to be heavy but it was so worth it. I love the mushrooms sauce inside the gyro. My fiancée said that her veggie gyro was flavorful but salty. The fried chickpea was also salty as well. However, she really enjoyed the chickpea balls. Overall, the food here is better than your typical Mediterranean food we had tried before. The portion and the price was definitely worth it!

The restaurant has a small bakery cafe feel. It not usually super busy so you can easily find a spot to sit with no wait. You order at the counter and they call your name when your food is ready. The stove was great. They're really friendly and knowledgeable. The food here is fantastic. They gyros are pretty big so keep that in mind.

Just looking for something to snack on and found this place . First visit here just to try my favorite BALCLAVA !!! The shop has that stucco brick interior Mediterranean ambience look and a long hallway with the dining eating area along side if the wall. I went directly to the register where the countertop display case of baklavas were. Paid my orders and sat down with my family. The triangular sliced layered phyllo dough and walnut fillings are so soaked in the honey syrup so sweet and moist ,I really enjoyed every bite of it. @$4.50 each. The Baklava Tulip Cheesecake looked so appetizing and tempting so I got to try one. This Layers of phyllo dough with walnuts made into a tulip, was filled with cheesecake and topped with white chocolate mousse and glazed slice of strawberry. $4.50 Well biting into this tulip looking cupcake got messy due to the mousse topping so I had to use a fork to cut into bite pieces and shared with my grandkids. They loved all of the sweets and were bouncing off the walls after. We tried the macarons too, blue was coconut flavor and yellow was the mango flavor. Not a fan of the taste. $ 2.50

The pita bread is like a pillowly garlic bread and it is hands down THE BEST Pita bread/wrap literally all the greek things! I had the chickpea wrap with feta added OH MY GOSH SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! You essentially order when you walk in, take a seat and then they will call you by name when your order is ready which is rather quick! Dedicated parking lot Clean bathrooms Come for the bread!!!

An "order at the counter and get your food when name called" spot. The hummus and baba ganoush were excellent. The olive "dip" tasted like finely chopped black olives with nothing else in it. Bland. The feta fries were just that. Fries with feta. Nothing to write home about. My Greek salad looked nothing like the picture at the register and was drenched in sauce. Dolmas were excellent. Pretty mixed bag. Some things will be great and others just won't be.

So my new co-workers have been raving about this place. I got the wife onboard and we went there today. For starters leave your expectations at home! There is a parking, in the downtown area, just for this place. Atmosphere is rustic, modern, and comfortable with good relaxing music. For an old industrial brick and cinderblock, they have decorated well. The wife and I tried the lamb gyro, fries, and the 3 Spread Sampler(Humus, Tzatziki, and Olive spread). We started with the sampler. The veggies we received were cucumber, carrot, and celery. The hummus was basic and yet amazing, the tzatziki felt homemade with fresh ingredients and therefore less sweet than I normally have, and the olive spread was excellent. The Pita was the simply the best pita we have ever had, seemingly hand made on a comal of my home, crispy on the outside and soft, fluffy goodness in the inside. While it was not what I have ever experienced in pita around the world, I, the ever traditionalist, will gladly leave those lesser pita for this yummy goodness. The fries were perfectly cut Greek style fries, perfectly seasoned, enough salt to be tasted, not too much and with a Mediterranean spices drizzled on. When eating a Gyro in most places you get the meat mixture on a vertical doner spit. Here the lamb came like pulled pork style, almost shredded with a sauce. The same tzatziki diced tomato and diced red onion were plentifully slathered in. While I did not mention this before, we got the Baklava Cheesecake. Not very sweet, but perfect balance of flavors. Women's room gets an A. Mens room gets a B+ because the door does not close well and the lock sticks. Bus your own table. Definitely adding into our rotation.

Very good! Was not expecting everything to be as good as it was, having lived in Greece. I had the beef gyro and spanokopita and both were great. No skimping on the meat. The tzatziki was also really good. The pita bread was fantastic! Service is just countertop, and you pick up when called. All the tables are larger, so it's easy to bring friends. Was not loud inside and business was steady when I went around 5 pm on a Monday.

Good food with great selection. Atmosphere was inviting and kids were welcome. Indoor and outdoor seating was plentiful.

The homemade pita bread is out of this world delicious! The gyro is stuffed full of tasty shaved pork or meat of choice. The sauce yumm. You have to try it!

The best Mediterranean/lebanese food in Waco and near the Dallas/ft worth area. I love it. I have driven on a weekend from Irving all the way there just to eat there. The food is so fresh and perfect every time. The desserts are pricey but soooo good.

Pita was amazing when warm. Quantity wise the gyros are worth the price, but they lack seasoning. Fries are soggy, but have a good taste profile. Service was quick. Ambiance is fine.

You cannot go wrong with some Alpha and Omega. Get the tzatziki appetizer with their pita bread and go for the chicken gyro.

The food was amazing!!! The pita was so thick and soft and fluffy! The cheesesteak was delicious. We will be making the drive from the DFW metroplex just for this food again!

The images posted online looked amazing! I really should have read the reviews prior to stopping in, however. I got the shrimp gyro, it was so salty, so, so, soooooo salty. And I ordered the cheese balls. I could see the cheese pull but didn't taste one shred of cheese or mint. It tasted like fried dough and grease. My friend ordered a fish gyro, her's was super salty as well. She also ordered feta fries, the fries were so over cooked I joked she was eating potato jerky. Again just tasted like oil. She also purchased a strawberry frappe, no flavor or sweetness. Just iced milk tasting. I usually give places two tries because anyone can have an off day. I can say I will not be returning. Save your money and blood pressure and go elsewhere.

really enjoy the environment but the lamb gyro was meh. I expected an authentic lamb gyro but instead received what tasted like brisket. the naan was a little dry and cold, I would have preferred it to be softer and warmer. the food was just okay!

Great food and always amazing service. I used to always get the chicken kabob gyro but they don't do it anymore. The beef one is still great! I do wish they have more than 4 little slices of pita when you get hummus and pita, there is always so much extra hummus. Great desserts too!

Two friends and I had lunch here yesterday. I had the beef souvlaki, one friend had chicken souvlaki and the other had pork gyro. Food was excellent, service was good and the restaurant was clean. Will definitely return. (Also, one friend got the baklava to go - said is was very good.)

I never thought I would make it back to alpha omega. Low and behold, my friends convinced me to return while visiting them in Waco. I will say I am pleasantly surprised. The prices are very good. A beef gyro was around $5. The pita was extremely fresh and soft. The protein portion was very generous in these gyros. We ordered a side of fries which appeared to be fresh cut. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They also sell Greek wines which is a very nice touch. My friend me enjoyed their lamb gyros which are about $10/ea.

I can't say Alpha Omega is the best Greek food in Waco because I haven't tried the other places, but I love it so much that I don't need to! It's not the most friendly of places, but it doesn't really need to be. It's good food. It has a cute brick wall interior with paintings for sale hung all over the walls. During the day it's lit by sunlight and it's a wonderful place to grab lunch with friends. You can order takeout online via their website and it's super easy. I always get the chicken gyro here and I am in love with it. It's consistently good. Their Greek salad tastes great and fresh, and their fries are barely-there-crispy on the outside and soft inside. I've also tried the Pesto Chicken, which is amazing. The gyros are very fairly priced at just under $6, making this a great place to grab lunch! I also like their drink machines, I've made a nice raspberry lemonade tea by combining a few things. I haven't tried any of the desserts, but they all look amazing and fresh! Definitely give this place a shot!

Love the lamb gyro and that it's real shredded lamb not the typical processed gyro meat. The spanakopita is the best I've ever had. My whole family loves the feta fries, usually get a plate to share for the family. On god fr no cap.

Alpha Omega Mediterranean food that is delicious and at a good price. Very popular with the students and not far from the Baylor campus. Can't go wrong with the lamb or beef gyros. I am not a drinker, but there are lots of selections on tap and bottles. Cheers, this is a nice go to for students and non students

Don't go on a Tuesday! Food review - The food wasn't bad. I'd recommend doubling down on the shrimp if that's your only option or first choice. FYI - I was recommended this place from a local partner assigned to the Waco office. Stopped by for dinner and ordered a ribeye gyro. Turned out that the cashier didn't know they were out, so I ordered a chicken gyro. That too was out. I asked for a recommendation based on what's available. He offered his favorite, a pork gyro. I accepted, only to find out they were out of that as well. I asked for anything meat wise and was given the option of chickpeas or shrimp. I went with the meat option (shrimp).

Great food, great place to enjoy some Greek food! Chicken kebab is amazing. Great staff!!

The Pork Gyro is FLAVOR TOWN!! Fries are exquisite!! Regretfully I have been sleeping on this spot, but no more for sure going in the weekly rotation. Bravo!

~ what I got ~ classic pork gyro ($6.95) - with tzatziki sauce, tomato, parsley & onions a side of fries ($2.50) spanakopita ($4.95) - spinach, feta, mozzarella in phyllo dough ~ thoughts ~ i thought the food was relatively yummy - there was a generous portion of pork inside; the pita was soft. i never had spanakopita - so that was interesting to try, maybe a bit too oily for me. the restaurant was relatively spacious on the inside and there was ample of outside seating.
