Reviews for Southern Roots Brewing Co. in Waco, TX
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 conversationwith 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 aboutfive minutes a nice lightly crispy on the outside, soft and doughy on the inside (not over salted) pretzel with cheese cup cameout. It lasted about 90 seconds between the 4 of us. My 7/8 yr olds are pretzel connoisseurs, and they loved this pretzel. Thepizza 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 reviewsi encourage readers to check Untappd or Beer Advocate to get a better idea of them. I will say that the 2 adults definitelyenjoyed them. I personally gave them all above average ratings on my preferred app. Nothing disappointed and everything seemedto be very true to style. They do flights of 4 beers, which i enjoyed, as well as standard pours of their various offerings. Ijust wish I could have sampled their more esoteric offerings, bit as i like to do for reviews, i stuck to the more common/ triedand 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 the 5* reviews. Read more
We did a lot of beer drinking but is one of our Pink Boot Members breweries so we had to go try it out. We got in just before... closing time and it was busy. I got a flight. I feel is the best way to give a good opinion of a brewery and the styles they?reable to do well. Always and I mean ALWAYS I?m going to try your Wit, Hefeweizen or Saison. They had two out of the three. It wascrisp and satisfyingly good. The beer lacing on the Hefe was very good. I believe they also had food but we?ve been eating anddrinking all day. It?s a cozy spot. I saw college crowd as well as families getting out after the storms swept through. Thebeertenders were friendly and didn?t mind giving tasters before you commit. I enjoyed my time there. Read more
Not meaning to tear it down, but the pizza could use improvement. It's alright, but it's sort of basic. The barmen were... friendly and great to talk with. Their excitement for their craft shows and all beers we had were great. Good location. Read more
I love their beer and food! Their beer is always consistent and full of flavor. They also have some really creative seasonal and... limited batch beers. I also must say that the pizza is awesome and you can get a giant pretzel that comes with a very delightfulcheese dip which, in my opinion, goes great with any one of their brews. All around a great place to get out of the heat andrelax in a nice atmosphere. Well done, Southern Roots! Read more
Love their vibe and the staff was super helpful and super nice. Their beer selection ranges to suit any taste, like blondes,... hazy IPAs, porters and pilsners. We had a couple of flights to taste them all. Southern Roots Brewing Co. also has a really cooloutdoor patio. Definitely stopping in again when we?re in town. Read more
This place has the best pizza I've had in Texas! Perfect crust, no flop, slight crunch and foldable. The Southern Sow is the... pizza we had. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Waco. Read more
Fantastic place for some really good beer and good food. Service was top notch in this comfortable brewery. Beers were all... exceptionally good being well balanced and flavorful. Had an absolutely incredible pretzel that was soft, warm and nowhere nearchewy. Enjoyed the stop! Read more
Southern Roots is the brewery vibe I like to go to. It was trivia night and the place was packed. I sat at the bar and had 8... flights trying out the beers. The beers are delicious. The IPAs were great, but surprisingly it was the Christmas Sweater(winter ale) that took me by surprise and is the highlight beer of the night. They also do pizza here and it looks fantastic.I?m just here in Waco for 2 weeks but I?ll be back here again to try the food and of course drink more of this excellent beer! Read more
