On the edge of Waco’s sprawl, McGregor still feels like classic Texas: wide streets, friendly shops, and a food scene that brings farm, ranch, and family together.
Coffee Shop Café
A gathering place for locals since 1992, this café does legendary homemade cinnamon rolls, mile-high meringue pie, meatloaf, chicken-fried steak, and daily blue plate specials.
It’s where neighbors gossip over breakfast, families celebrate senior night, and truckers get their fuel for the road.
Coach’s xXx Smoke
True Texas BBQ smoked over post oak, with brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and turkey breast served lean or fatty, sauce on the side.
Sides include elote corn salad, loaded tater tots, and southern slaw.
The “giant baked potato” is a must for the ravenous.
Dr. Pepper Museum (Waco)
Not a sit-down restaurant, but Waco’s proximity means McGregor locals make the trip for the soda fountain lunch counter: classic cherry Dr. Peppers, cheese toasties, and malts that taste like the 1950s.
Taqueria Mexicano Grill Express
Family-owned, quick, and always fresh: tacos, burritos, huevos rancheros, and tortas made for takeout or dine-in.
The green salsa is city famous, and big breakfast plates are a Saturday ritual.
The Slice House
A new favorite for pizza, salads, and casual eats in a friendly, modern setting. The classic pepperoni is a hit, but try the barbecue chicken or veggie pies for something different.
Craft beer and friendly staff make it a weekly go-to.
