Overview
Better known as "The Waterloo," this family-run operation has been serving the same great food to overflowing crowds for over 23 years, and it just keeps getting better and better all the time. All items are prepared fresh and are of the highest quality. Most of the recipes originated right here, including Bette's World Famous BBQ sauce and Pesto. Please sit back and enjoy the whole "Waterloo Experience".
It's normally a little crowded but if you can't wait, their whole menu can be prepared to go. Come hungry because they have overwhelming portions. At this fun restaurant, they really know how to mix it up on the grill. One of their signature dishes is the savory barbecued ribs, served as an appetizer or an entree. The pesto pasta is so good you will drive clear across town to get it.

A friend and I waited for two hours to get a table at the Waterloo restaurant. As soon as we entered, we had a good first impression: the salad and breads were perfect. However, the main dish, a ribeye, came excessively overdone, with darkened meat and a bitter taste. I ended up eating only half, removing the most burned parts, because I was very hungry. On the other hand, the pasta with pesto was impeccable, and the shrimps, simply delicious.
This was my first time at the Waterloo restaurant. All the food was freshly made they used fresh ingredients they have a garden in the back where they get their fresh herbs from. It was a nice atmosphere the environment was quiet enough to talk. But loud enough to wear no one would listen to your conversation. The chowder was so delicious that Geneva bread and that Betty sauce is amazing pairs well together! If you like fresh ingredients this is a place to try.
We went here for lunch on the recommendation of a friend. The parking is a small lot and was fairly full. It has a nice atmosphere with baseballs behind glass as you enter. We were seated quickly and our waitress was quite attentive the whole time. It was pricey for a sandwich but everything is going up. They don't have fries so I got a potato salad that was good. The pesto was recommended by our friend and it was good but a bit salty for me. They have a mural on one of the walls that is very well done. I ordered a draft beer that wasn't cold and never cleared up. We will go back, but I will probably skip the draft beer next time. Overall a nice place with a lot to see and an attentive staff.
Great restaurant, food, service, and atmosphere. We were seated promptly and water arrived quickly. The staff was friendly and attentive.The side salad had house made croutons. Restaurants have dropped croutons to my disappointment, so it was great to have them again. The dressing was house made, delicious. My wife had the NY strip and she thought it was the best steak she'd had in years. She is a keto dieter and has become a beef flavor/quality expert. The ribs were great. The sweet BBQ sauce was good with the pork. The pasta we ordered for sides was homemade from scratch pasta that was locally sourced. We asked, everything, the fresh bread, the pasta, the meats, all of the food we were served, was either made from scratch at the Waterloo or locally sourced from nearby farms and bakeries. You could tell. It was really fresh and well made. They have a full bar with a friendly crowd. The old fashioned I ordered was complete with a Luxardo cherry. Waterloo isn't the biggest town in the world but if you're here, definitely visit The Waterloo Restaurant. We came in a half hour before close on a Thursday night and it was a full house. There's an entertaining story about the battle of Waterloo, not with Napoleon, but locally with a stolen canon on the back of the menu. There is a wall that honors local military heros, and they sell some pretty neat merch, including dog toys, although it is a service dog only restaurant.
I have heard about this place and was lucky enough to have time to try it out. I had the famous ribs and everything about it was amazing. Best ribs I've had. It's nice to know that they make everything themselves. It makes sense why they are well known and have pride in what they do. I recommend getting the pesto pasta for the side. They also give plenty of food so I wasn't hungry at the end. The service was also very good. Lots of attentive servers and they were able to answer any questions that I had. I would definitely come back!
