Lunch at Vitek's in Waco, TX a couple days ago. I made a similar post to this one about a BBQ restaurant and received a recommendation to try Vitek's if I were ever in Waco, TX.
I had a lunch scheduled with a friend on a day that they were open so we met and tried it out.
First off, the location was great being on the northbound service road of Interstate 35 made it convenient to drive to as well as see when navigating.
First impression was great, the parking lot was more than large enough for the size of the building. The outside was well maintained and the signage contrasted the surroundings making it clearly visible.
Ordering was straightforward with laminated menus so you know pricing does not vary daily and specials must be written on disposable signage. Inside the staff was friendly and helpful, cleanliness was great even after lunch rush at 2pm and restrooms were tidy.
We opted for sliced brisket, pulled pork and jalapeno sausage for the meats, banana pudding and pecan cobbler for deserts. My friend and I prefer not to have bread or overload our meal with sides when having BBQ at a restaurant that has good quality meat selections. This meal is mostly about the meats so keep the sides light.
Brisket- The bark was thin and flavorful, the smoke ring was there but not deep and the remainder was lacking flavor. Each bite required the bark otherwise sauce was needed. Their sauce was sweet and would compare to KC Masterpiece.
Pulled pork- Moist and flavorful throughout, our portion did not have much of the crispy exterior that I like but overall it would rank high for consistency and flavor. Sauce was not needed, I tried a small amount of sauce and it was good together.
Jalapeno sausage- The grind was coarse but still smooth so the flavors were easier to pull. This was better than most sausage I have tried at other BBQ restaurants and food trucks. No sauce needed as the flavor, temperature and consistency was spot on.
Pecan cobbler- This was a thin sheet pan pecan pie cut into squares with additional pie filling made separately. Making it this way kept the ingredients from mixing so the pie crust and pecans were crunchy and the filling was consistent. I would pick this option over traditional pie any day.
Banana pudding- Traditional basic banana pudding with a few wafers tossed in and no banana slices. They kept this simple, made when ordered so the wafers are crisp.

Ordered several pounds of bbq for my Moms 90th birthday party! Definitely some of the best brisket I have ever eaten!

Visiting Waco we stopped there simply because there a lot of cars in their parking lot. To this day it remains our very top bbq.

I called and set there waiting 17 minutes for someone to answer the phone, ANSWER THE PHONE or stop advertising for call in orders. No one ever answered the phone! I had to return back to work can’t wait all day!

Strictly taste I would give a 4/5, but I am comparing that to Dallas BBQ. When you factor in the friendly service and amazing price this place gets a 5/5! We hardly sat down before our food came out fresh and the staff was very welcoming. Not to mention the decor and general "vibe" was great

You order at the counter and they bring you meal to you. To me, it was just your average BBQ place. The BBQ wasn't bad - but it wasn't great either. Reasonable prices!

Ordered the chopped brisket and hot links the chopped brisket was fatty and covered in a sauce but didn't have any flavor. Very disappointed with the BBQ and the hot link was warm at best and just tasted like a cold hot dog. Environment was amazing and service was great but they couldn't hide the food

Spacious bbq place with versatile menu. I enjoyed the gut pack, potato salad, and mac & cheese.
The booths featured charming pieces of Baylor sports memorabilia.
The gut pack is a meal-sized take on the traditional Frito pie.

Another great meal at Viteks on our way thru Waco. Great food and service. This time I deviated from the gut pal to try the new grilled cheese (cheddar/brisket) and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend, they are consistent with their bbq and service and are family owned.
