Robinson sits just south of Waco, so a lot of the “big buzz” food happens up the road—but Robinson itself has a handful of newer or refreshed spots that locals lean on for weeknights and quick bites.
1. Tejun The Texas Cajun (Robinson Location)
A Cajun‑seafood spot with a fun, casual vibe and big portions.
Boiled crawfish (in season), shrimp, crab, and fried seafood baskets headline the menu, alongside po’boys, gumbo, and boudin. Picnic‑table seating and a laid‑back feel make it great for messy, shareable meals.
2. Papa Rollos Pizza (Robinson)
A newer location of a beloved Waco pizza institution.
Expect thick, cheesy pizzas, pasta, wings, and salads in a family‑friendly, slightly old‑school atmosphere. It’s a go‑to for team dinners, birthday parties, and big takeout orders.
3. Taqueria El Mexicano Grill
A low‑key Mexican spot that locals swear by.
The menu features street‑style tacos, burritos, tortas, fajitas, and breakfast plates with eggs, chorizo, and tortillas. It’s quick, affordable, and heavy on flavor.
4. West End Pizza Co. (Nearby, but a Robinson Staple)
Technically closer to Waco, but popular with Robinson residents.
You’ll find hand‑tossed pizzas, calzones, pasta, and sandwiches with a casual sports‑bar vibe—TVs, beer, and a neighborhood feel.
5. Sonic / Bush’s Chicken (Refreshed Fast‑Casual Favorites)
Robinson’s newer and updated fast‑casual spots still matter in a small market.
Bush’s Chicken is the local go‑to for fried chicken, tenders, and iced tea; Sonic anchors quick drive‑in burgers, tots, and shakes for busy families and students.
