Hello, are there any goood places to eat on Lake Waco or near Lake Waco? My mother is visiting next week and we plan on taking my son to visit the Cameron Park Zoo sometime next week and would like to eat somewhere on Lake Waco or near Lake Waco after visiting the zoo before we head back home to Cameron.

Thank you.

You could try the Slippery Minnow Restaurant and Bar. They are located directly on Lake Waco and have a lovely view. Visit their website for directions.

What about vegetarian food? Are there any vegetarian restaurants? If not, which restaurants offer good choices for those of us who don't eat meat? Thanks.

Suzette,
Vegetarian options are available at Clay Pot (Vietnamese), Pei Wei (Asian), and D's Mediterranean Grill. You can consult yelp.com for reviews of these restaurants and locations. Let us know if we can help with anything else.

A little over 20 years ago we ate at a restaurant in an old train car, is it still in business and what is the name? We have fond memories of this place.

Christine,
I think you are thinking of the Waterworks restaurant. It is no longer open, but it is still there, located on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive (Exit 335C on I-35). It has part of a caboose built into it.
