This brand-new chicken joint is one of the first in Waco to offer Nashville hot chicken! All their chicken is cage-free, hormone-free, and steroid-free, so you can feel good about yourself and the environment. Choose from their classic (not-spicy) flavor all the way to Nashville (double cayenne-spiked hot oil) and go to town on it, complete with their chicken salt fries and Texas beers!

I love three things on this earth (besides my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and my family): the Houston Astros, bourbon, and fried chicken. Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken is basically a chicken shack with some tables and chairs inside, and that's just fine with me. You can get regular bone-in fried chicken, or the meat of poor defenseless boneless chickens. Both taste great. Just enough crisp on the meat - think "I'm only eating the skin, so the chicken is up for grabs!", and the cream gravy can't be beat.

Sascee's (pronounced "Sassy's") offers a wonderful down-home Southern-style buffet with beef, pork, or chicken from Saturday-Thursday, and catfish and barbecue on Friday. I dare you to try and save some room for dessert, but you'll regret missing the banana pudding way more than you'll regret stepping on the scale.
