McGregor has gotten more attention lately because of growth around Waco and nearby industry. The food scene is still small, but a few newer or re‑energized spots stand out.
1. Coffee Shop Café
A country‑style café that draws in locals and travelers alike.
Breakfast plates, omelets, pancakes, and biscuits in the morning; chicken‑fried steak, burgers, sandwiches, and daily specials at lunch and dinner. Homemade pies and desserts are a highlight.
2. Luigi’s Italian Restaurant
A family‑run Italian spot that has become a go‑to for “nice but relaxed” meals.
Expect pasta dishes (alfredo, marinara, baked pastas), pizzas, garlic bread, and simple chicken and seafood entrées. Portions are generous, prices are friendly, and it’s very kid‑friendly.
3. Cuppiecakes
Part bakery, part café, known for sweets and light bites.
Cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and pastries share the case with coffee and simple lunch items like sandwiches and salads. It’s a cute stop for a treat and a chat.
4. Milos Bakery & Café (Nearby Draw)
A newer‑style bakery/café feel in the broader area that McGregor residents use.
Fresh‑baked breads, pastries, and coffee, plus occasional light breakfast and lunch options—perfect for a quick, casual meet‑up.
5. Local Food Trucks & BBQ Pop‑Ups
McGregor has seen more food trucks and pop‑ups, especially around events and busy corners.
These rotate—often tacos, barbecue, or burgers—but keep an eye out; some of the best bites in town can come from a trailer rather than a permanent storefront.
