THE BUCKLE — Restaurant in Waco

Ate there today for lunch after seeing a lot of local hype, and was definitely let down. I wouldn't call the service slow, but getting the food definitely was. It wasn't overly busy, and after seeing the food, don't understand why it took so long. I don't know what I was expecting, but the "chicken bacon tater" made into a Philly seemed like something thrown together when trying to use up items left in the kitchen.
