There's a monster.com ad looking for full-time and part-time employees at a Cheesecake Factory location in Waco. We'll track this, but my guess is that this thing is a long way from getting here. - See more at: http://wacofork.com/blog/latest-news/item/792-news-and-notes-the-calm-before-the-fireworks#sthash.pTNZ9xuI.dpuf

Even if so.... within 6 months it would be "wacofied" and wouldn't look/taste like the real thing anymore

Waco folks wouldn't support it because it was too expensive.

I am more excited about Manny's. That would be awesome.

sadly, bohunk is right. Locals complain about chains, but won't support high quality independents. When good chains do come, they won't support that either.

I wish Waco could shake that mantra. Waco needs it if they want to attract white collar jobs and higher-end corporate entities.

If you haven't been before, it's nothing special. You'd be better off driving out to Cyclone. It's the same kind of mediocre bbq with a good atmosphere.

Been to original salt lick and thought it was great. The one in round rock is average .
Cyclone is decent but it's been years since I was there.

Just happy something better than Rudy's is coming to town

I don't know how true this is, but according to a coworker, the Austin locations are manager by the original ownership, and the stores outside of the area are under different management. We told me this after I mentioned to him how bad the turkey was at the Waco store when I was up there a few weeks ago.

I've always loved the Rudy's smoked turkey, but the stuff I got there was not good.

IMO, Rudy's baby backs for very good

salt lick only belongs in Budah in my opinion...Putting one in the middle of an already busy area just doesn't feel like it belongs vs. back on a country road

It's Saltgrass Steakhouse, not Salt Lick, coming to Waco.

Guess they had to wait and see if Longhorn had a good opening.... That said, give longhorn a year, THEN decide
