Things to Note: Home is located in a quiet family neighborhood with lots of street parking. Like most of Waco, this neighborhood is a mixture of old and new homes. There are quite a few older homes, some rundown, some needing some TLC, but it is fun to drive around and see all the potential "Fixer Uppers" that Chip and Joanna might hit up next.

Centrally located just 0.3 miles to Little Shop on Bosque, 3.5 miles to Magnolia Market/Silos, 4 miles to Magnolia Table, close to Brazos River Walk, Top Golf, Main Event, Cinemax, Waco Surf, and so much more.

*There is a video Ring on the front porch for the safety of our guests.

What's nearby

  • The Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas is a terrific zoo! The zoo has a great range of animals and exhibits and the grounds are well kept and spacious. There's lots of shade to keep you somewhat cool during those hot Texan summer months if you visit during that time frame. The animal enclosures are nice, and can really give you great views of the animals themselves if you are a bit patient. This also makes for great photo views, as shown here with this photo of an approaching jaguar. Food and snack prices are also very reasonable, as are prices for souvenirs. This zoo makes for a great day out for the family.

The Fried Green Tomato is the perfect place for a visit to Waco. The home has been nicely renovated and is well- appointed, and it is centrally located to all things that attract you to Waco. We found the property to be pet-friendly, and Karen, our host, is very kind and accomodating. Not sure when we'll make it back to Waco, but we know where we'll be staying.

Everything We Wanted

This was our first trip to Waco and in keeping with the "Fixer Upper" theme of our trip, we wanted to stay in an order, remodeled home. Fried Green Tomato was a perfect fit for us. It's cute, comfortable, and convenient. Karen was quick to respond when I had a couple of questions. The neighborhood was quiet and brought back the best memories of growing up in the Midwest. We would definitely stay here again.

a comfortable stay

This is a quaint little property that served its purpose. We needed a bed for the night for the Cross Country state meet. It provided just that. We had three adults in the home (parents and an adult child) and it was manageable. (With one bathroom, I really am not sure how a party of 5+ could make it work.) The only down tick, minor though, is it is simply an older neighborhood. We did not feel unsafe at all though. I would consider again next year, but he was a senior so no more state.

The Fried Green Tomato

My wife attended a conference at Baylor during the week of February 29th. We were able to book the Fried Green Tomato for February 29th - March 3rd. Communication with the host was effective and responsive. Our stay was enjoyable and close in proximity to Baylor and grocery stores such as HEB. We loved the fact that the host is pet-friendly, as we were able to bring our 29 lb Mini Hippo (cross between a Cocker Spaniel and Sharpei). There are dogs in the community, that are outside dogs and will bark, but that is expected. Other than that, our stay was pleasant and we did not experience any negative issues.
