    We’ve been a few times and this time I tried the Braised short rib goulash. Wow, what a meal Another at our table had her favorite, the pork shank (again). This is a unique place in Waco and is well worth your time to visit and enjoy.

    Pivovar was a terrific experience! The menu was nicely done to include a variety of starters, entrees, wines and beverages, and desserts. It was a very affordable, yet sophisticated, restaurant. When in Waco again, Pivovar will be a strong contender for a repeat visit!

    Food was so-so. Salmon on plank was dry and sauce on top appeared like it had been sitting under a heating lamp for a while (we were told 3 times our order would be right out.) Side of broccolini was tough & chewy. Policy does not allow any substitutions on sides. Schnitzel was bland, and there was an up-charge for a side sauce, where other restaurants often include a sauce. Despite it being advertised “Scnitzel Sunday” (buy one schnitzel, get one 50% off) we were charged full price for both. Would not return for the food. On the upside, the beer was good, and the ambiance was nice sitting with a view of the beer tanks.

    The food was excellent! I had the Czexan Schnitzel with the mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes. The Pretty in Pink drink was very refreshing. The chocolate cake was yummy! We had a great waiter named Noah who was very informative and attentive. We can’t wait to come back!

    This was a great place for lunch! We had the onion rings for an appitizers and added the mushroom Pivovar cream sauce on the side … delicious. My husband’s pork shoulder was amazing in its flavor and tenderness. I had the classic pocket schnitzel which did not disappoint and is enough for two people to share! Even their mashed potatoes are ridiculously creamy with that smack of pepper that brings them to the next level. We aren’t big drinkers so we can’t comment on the beer and were so full we didn’t get dessert but may try it next time because this place is worth revisiting!

    We were visiting from Florida. Was looking for a cool brewery restaurant. The ambiance was so nice. Our server was so sweet. The food was good. I had the salmon which was good, but my husband had the texas schnitzel and that was delicious!
