Reviews for Coach's xXx Smoke in Waco, TX
Had a great time revisiting Coach's, it is definitely a stop we plan to make each time we visit Waco. Both the service and food... is amazing here. We got the Ribs and Brisket with mac & cheese and onion rings. The ribs are so flavorful they don't need a dropof sauce on them. The brisket is also amazing but the sauce takes it to another level. My husband also enjoyed the Big Macsandwich with pulled pork and mac and cheese on it. We each got a house margarita, I added peach to mine and it was absolutelydelicious. On our previous visit we got the baked beans and chicken wings and they were also delish. Definitely recommend thisif you're stopping in Waco. Parking is also a breeze for those wondering, and it's a nice walk if you aren't too far. Read more
Con: hostess was really struggling to keep the wait list organized & forgot about some people waiting 40 min. She was very nice,... but not equipped to do her job in an organized way. The food and kindness of the bar staff made up for this. Food was reallygreat. We had the hobo bowl- it?s HUGE and plenty for 3 -4 people to share as an appetizer. I had it as my meal. My husband gota 2 meat platter w/ lean brisket & turkey. Meat was flavorful & moist. Sides of okra and green beans were tasty. I like thatthe okra was extra crispy w/ a bit of cornmeal to the mix. We eat at some of the best bbq joints in the state (Truth, Gatlin?s,Pinkerton?s) and I thought this place competed well w/ the likes of the state?s greats. Prices are really affordable too. Read more
Really chill place good happy hour drinks. Service can be a little faster or more attentive. I understand if new but several... different occasions it took a long time for our server to come back to us for our order or refills. Hopefully it gets better. Read more
My host/server Tyler D was very friendly, welcoming and attentive. He was great, But, I walked into Coach's to place a To-Go... order. I really just wanted to try another Texas BBQ place before i returned to my home in MD. I found Brisket on the menu...One meat, two sides. So, I ordered brisket, Caesar salad, and cole slaw. It was ready pretty quickly, so off I went. I found aparking spot in the shade and opened the packages. The salad was a bit overdressed, the cole slaw needed salt, and the brisketwas dry and somewhat tough. I had ordered "sliced" vs. "shredded." There was ONE single slice of brisket. ONE. $15.10 for oneslice of dry, not very tender brisket with mediocre sides is terribly overpriced! I would NOT recommend Coach's xXx Smoke BBQ. Read more

Great sports bar type atmosphere with TVs, lots of space upstairs and down. Extensive menu with good selection and amazing... servers that were very attentive throughout. Read more
Well, another family owned business owned by local area here in Waco. We stumbled across Coach's BBQ SMOKE last night on the... 10 o'clock news there are a few good things that come out of a snow storm ????. This little BBQ & BAR was just one of the manywe have discovered. I'm sure there are many more. The owners are a 5 star humble kinda couple. The atmosphere speaks foritself. The drinks as well. the appetizers, as well as the lunch and LETS NOT forgot the PEACH COBBLER. The brisket i cutwith my fork as well as the smoked turkey an baked chicken. Though let me back up just a bit the appetizers are more thanheaping so know when to say when, or ask for a to go box this way you'll have room for the BRISKET. ENOUGH said. Read more
