Yes, it’s that good. My wife saw a reel on Facebook, we planned it, and went. 12:30-1:00, Saturday. The outside is well done, the parking lot is a touch small. But you get inside the front door and you’re greeted by the smell of real beef, and 50’s music. Say hello to Elvis and be greeted by the most helpful servers we’ve seen in a while. The tables and booths are the type of tables and upholstery are perfectly matched to the decor, metal signs, Dublin sodas, and ceramic coffee cups. The pick up window has a bell, and the food is fast but cooked perfectly. The servers are attentive and friendly, they listen as you order and make sure they got it right. The food was way beyond what we expected. The chicken fingers are HUGE, as are the steak fingers. The gravy is almost better than homemade. The 1/3 pound hamburger was juicy, flavorful, hot, and tasty. Checkout was quick, and they were on the spot with the to go boxes. A sincere “goodbye” told us that the staff does care. We will be returning!

I just tried this place last week after having driven by a few times. I got the next-to-last table (it's popular), but despite how busy it was, Liz was outstanding and made sure all the tables were taken care of. Great customer service from her, and my food (Chicken-fried-steak sandwich and Dublin DP float) were really good. I love one-of-a-kind places like Whizzbangs and Health Camp, and I'm adding Kim's to my Waco go-to spots.

If you're going through Waco, then I highly recommend stopping by Kim's for a burger and shake! We started with the fried pickles and they loaded up that basket with pickles and ranch. The pickles were crispy and had the perfect amount of breading on them. The fries were nothing special, but the tots were crispy and soft. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and tasted homemade. Ended it with a chocolate milkshake that I would've regretted NOT getting . I loved the old timey atmosphere of the place and I can tell they do a good job cleaning and taking care of it.

This place is amazing. The food is fresh. Hamburgers are not frozen. Salads are freshly made. The Salisbury steak is always good. Very fun family friendly atmosphere. Its like being in a diner from the 50’s. Really cool place. I come here all the time. I am very partial to one waitress that works there. She is the best. Always has a smile on her face and will remember your name. If you dine in during the day ask for Liz. She will make you feel like you’re at home.

Very good, old school diner food and atmosphere. The chicken fried steak was awesome. The service was also perfect. I’ll definitely return.

We spent the day in the Waco area and came to Kim's for my birthday late lunch, early dinner. Parking here can be a challenge, but once you get parked, everything else is completely awesome. Our service was absolutely awesome, and the food was very fresh and absolutely awesome. We will definitely be back to eat here very soon...

I love going to Kim’s in Waco Texas. For a good old Fashion hamburger. Or a hamburger steak. And the best sweet Ice tea in town. The atmosphere and design take you back in time to the 50s. Reminds me of Arnold’s on Happy Days. And they included Betty Boop and I love her. The place has good food and friendly people so if you want a good burger go check her out 25th st and Waco drive Can’t miss it
