    What makes it fun

The menu at Kim's features juicy burgers, tasty sandwiches, fresh salads, and more. Throw on a poodle skirt or leather jacket and head to Kim's with your Sugar or Doll for a fun date that takes you back in time.

    Waitress was more worried about closing and leaving than taking care of customers! We arrived at 2 pm they close at 3 . She was cleaning and never washed her hands before she brought our food out . Handed us our food said she didn’t know what we ordered we needed to figure it out .. WTH! And how you gonna run out of Dr. Pepper in Waco!!

    Ok so I reviewed this place a couple weeks ago and there was one thing I commented on that I am pretty sure was just bad timing..so I went back today and it was just like I thought it would be..5 stars on everything, no wait time, food was great, order was right, priced right, well under 20 bucks for double cheeseburger with onion rings and drink..service was top notch..not hurried, not bothersome and most of all not hard to find..also had a beautiful smile that made my day..I'm moving this diner up to my number one hamburger place..

    Nice home town experience. Don't live in Waco but been coming here for decades because of Masonic Grand Lodge and other Masonic activities. Been coming here also. Great place.

    Loved this place from start to finish! The burger was incredible - the best I've had in ages. The root beer float was super good and served in a cute vintage glass. My server, Deborah, was so sweet and helpful. I loved the vintage decor and everything was so neat and clean. Highly recommend!

    This is some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. They were so accommodating with me & my 8 students when we traveled from Dallas. I just wish I remembered our waitresses’ name & the person I spoke to over the phone so that I could thank them by name. ❤️

    They were short handed when we went due to the Flu, but the service was amazing! The food was awesome too. We drove 2 hours just to try it. We will probably go back in the summer.

    Kim's has been a staple in Wacofor years. Atmosphere is a throw back to the 50s. Fun atmosphere. Burgers and fries, onion rings are great! Their chef salad is wonderful and satisfying. Staff is very welcoming and helpful.

    Found this place while we were in Waco one day. We love the 50s theme and that’s what drew us to this place. The food was great but the shakes and floats were even better. The prices were lower than what we were expecting so that was a bonus. I highly recommend this place and don’t mind driving the 45 minutes to eat here.

    Cool little diner. Similar to our diner in my city, but this one has a 50's-60's vibe to it

    It was pleasant. It was late in the evening right at time to shut the grill down. They served me with a smile.

    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.

    Top notch attentive customer service here. Made to order food. Extremely reasonable and affordable meals here. Must try are the onion rings! Hand made fries are delicious! This place has a retro vibe with Coca Cola chandeliers and Looney Tunes stickers on the outside. A restaurant that must be visited when in Waco.

    Think of a retro 50's diner with good quality burgers and sandwiches and excellent service and atmosphere. 1/3 pound juicy burgers, hand dipped onion rings and freshly cut fries. Great milkshake as well. First time here but it won't be our last. Next time you're in Waco make sure you get away from the tourist dining options and try Kim's. You want me disappointed.
