Southern Roots Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Waco

Tl;Dr - Google reviews led us here while driving through town, and they nailed it!

Atmosphere of this place is great. If you grew up listening to Alternative in the 90s and 2K, you'll dig the music here. Not so loud as i was able to have a conversation with my wife and 7/8 yr olds. The staff was overwhelming friendly. Not annoyingly friendly, like GENUINELY friendly. #texas

Food service was FAST. We ordered a pretzel cause the kids were hangry having been in the car a couple hours. In about five minutes a nice lightly crispy on the outside, soft and doughy on the inside (not over salted) pretzel with cheese cup came out. It lasted about 90 seconds between the 4 of us. My 7/8 yr olds are pretzel connoisseurs, and they loved this pretzel. The pizza came out less than 5 minutes after the pretzel. This isn't the best pizza in TX. It doesn't need to be. It was very good. The pepperoni was on point and the Southern Sow was sweet and savory. The beer: This is VERY subjective. As usual for my reviews i encourage readers to check Untappd or Beer Advocate to get a better idea of them. I will say that the 2 adults definitely enjoyed them. I personally gave them all above average ratings on my preferred app. Nothing disappointed and everything seemed to be very true to style. They do flights of 4 beers, which i enjoyed, as well as standard pours of their various offerings. I just wish I could have sampled their more esoteric offerings, bit as i like to do for reviews, i stuck to the more common/ tried and true styles. Like always ordering enchiladas at a given texmex place. I'd love to revisit this place when I'm back in Waco. Thanks googlers for leading us here, and thanks to Southern Star for living up to...

This was our favorite place to get pizza and beer in Waco and we've gone every week for the past two years , but after this past weekend, we're going to find somewhere else to eat. We had put in an order two hrs early for a pizza, and showed up to find that it wasn't ready. After waiting, for 30-40 mins, someone from the kitchen walked out talked to the person who took our order, cursed, and went into the kitchen. Knowing something was up, we waited another 7 mins before checking in. Turns out, all their pizza dough was frozen and they didn't have any ready at the moment and couldn't give us an estimation on how long it would take for our order to be ready. The fact that there weren't a ton of people in line or anything and no one walked over to us to notify us that we would be waiting for an indefinite amount of time for our food is inexcusable. I get that people in general are conflict averse, but it shows no concern or appreciation for the customer. Plus, how do you run out of pizza dough by 5 pm on a Saturday...? If you're actually hungry and wanting to eat in the near future, I'd recommend finding...

Tldr Pizza tastes awesome but their sizes are 1-2 inches smaller than advertised. Really expensive for what you get.

Ordered 4 pizzas tonight (3x 15", 1x 10"). Super excited to try them out for the first time. They are highly recommended by lots of friends. Got the pizzas home and they looked surprisingly small in the box. I was so surprised I actually busted out a tape measure. 2x of the 15" pizzas were actually 13" (that is a 25 percent decrease in the area of pizza you get, quite substantial). 1x 15in pizza was actually 14in and the 10" pizza was actually 9in.

I know they are hand made pizzas and they can't be exact but you should really change the name to large and small pizzas instead of a fixed size especially when you're providing 25 percent less than what is advertised in some pizzas for the prices you charge. I just feel slightly ripped off....

Taste wise they are...
