Alpha Omega Grill & Bakery

Food here was delicious, but pricey! Seems like a lot of Mediterranean restaurants are opening in Waco. Alpha and Omega fits in downtown as it's more rustic, fancier and froufrou. Hummus was crazy expensive for the small amount and the rest of the food was half onions but it tasted great. Worth a try!

The lady at the counter was the sweetest thing in the world. She was friendly, polite, helpful, and knowledge. Her customer service was exceptional... I order spanakopita, tiramisú, and the chicken gyro. Spanakopita was ok. Deep fried and greasy. You can get better in the frozen food section at HEB. The gyro was disappointing. The chicken was dry, the pita a bit yeasty I'm assuming the dough wasn't rested long enough. The tzatziki was flavorless. The tiramisu was shockingly bad. I was at a lost for words after my first bite. My mouth felt disrespected. I understand the price of food has shot up. Why offer a dessert if you're not even willing to use the proper ingredients. I couldn't taste the slightest trace of mascarpone cheese. There was no egg yolks used at all. This meal shocked me. I didn't know it was possible to have a meal this terrible...

If you've never had authentic Greek food you might love this place.

I have no idea how this place gets such good reviews. The highest praise I can give it is that we didn't throw it away. Food was cold. "Chickpea patties" which I assumed were supposed to be falafel were mushy and undercooked in the center. The pita was also undercooked in the middle. The spread platter we got had a tiny little side serving of each spread. Typically hummus at a Greek place would be a sizable serving with olive oil drizzled on top. This was pretty tasteless. The greek salad was good but was definitely not a greek salad. 1 lone olive and some goat cheese and sad tomato slices. No feta, no peppers, no red onions and the dressing was sweet. Spanakopita was the best thing we got and it was really just ok. The crust tasted deep fried. One "local guide" mentioned it was a good stand in for European donner kebab (which is fast food) and the worst donner I have had was better than this. And it was $45+ for two people

Greek restaurant in a brick building with internal brick walls and high ceilings. Very casual setting. You order and pick you food up at the counter. Seating is open without a host. Seating is booths with some tables.

Food is okay. The place is more a lunch establishment than dinner.

Went to Waco Tx. just to try this restaurant. The cashier (paid for food up front) was not knowledgable about the menu. She was however VERY nice, polite and professional. Remember not everyone likes this kind of food but, we all need money and a job. Not kicking her due to the lack of knowledge. We did a collage of food to figure out what we liked. The cook ROCKED IT! Food was presented beautifully. The the grill closed 15 minutes early, too bad for us we wanted more to take home. So, remember order it as soon as you know for sure what you like if close to closing on rainy nights. Restrooms were clean. Another HUGE plus they sale beautiful local artists painting, photos, t shirts, wine, coffee whole bean and more. Heck ya parking was awesome. The tables , floors, kitchen (you can watch the cook your meals it open faced) looked really clean. Bus people were quick to deliver and clean. So heck ya go here we are going again, not so close to closing next. time........lol
Maps got us there and home in a great way we took hwy in & backroads home not a issue one.

The food was decent for the price point. The feta fries were delicious, however the lamb gyros were flavorless outside of the lamb tasting really gamey. The cashier was also a little indifferent and could definitely work on the customer service. Overall, the ambience is nice and the food decent. I'd recommend coming here for the fries alone.

Loved the atmosphere here! Food is good, and the gyro meat is served in traditional style (like pulled pork) rather than Greek-American style (pressed and sliced). A bottle of palatable Cabernet was available for $18. Feta and herb fries were amazing! Great prices, too!

Super good Greek food. Fresh, fast and healthy. This place is packed, and deserves its reputation. Good work.

If you are from the big city where there are a lot of culinary choices, you will be disappointed in this place. I came to the conclusion that highly rated restaurant in small towns/cities is a gamble because locals do not have many options of places to eat and therefore do not have anything to compare to. I love Mediterranean food and have been to several amazing Mediterranean restaurants in and out of state. This place is not authentic. After I left the restaurant, I decided to read the 1-star reviews on this place and it reflected some of the things I also encountered. The pork was dry, the steak tasted burnt, the calamari was a bit chewy, and the fries tasted old as if it was re-fried or something. I left the place feeling dissatisfied and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

EDIT: Just had to add another comment. Look at Eva Pap's review. She stated, "Alpha Omega seriously is the only place in Texas and one of the two places in the whole United States that I was ever able to find authentic Greek food!"

Looks like review bloat to me. How can you claim it is to be the best of two restaurants in the whole United States? All of her "reviews" have been in and around of Waco, TX. Again, locals who don't know any better may think this is better than a 5-star restaurant in NYC.

Had lunch here for the first time. Waco needs a good Greek restaurant. AOG&B might just fill the bill. Although I would have liked the "classic" gyro meat, the beef was still good. The pita itself was excellent. And, I got this little gem from the bakery display case. It might be what heaven would taste like! I'll be going back again... often.
