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.

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.

Bestie Trip!
Property was exactly how its listed. Beautiful and well maintained home. Neighborhood is located close to everything and neighbors were nice and we felt safe. Karen (the owner) was easy to reach and would answer any questions immediately. Every detail was well thought of and very accommodating. Close to all attractions with a short drive. We came for a bestie trip to the Magnolia Market at the Silos and stay 4 nights and we will definitely come back to do again. Had the best time!

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.

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.

Rough night
The house was cute and clean only few issues. First if u have dogs using back yard can’t happen. Dogs next dog can clear the fence so was left to only use front yard and porch light was out so very very dark at night. Dogs next door barked almost 24 hours a day as they r left out at night so sleeping doesn’t happen. Then people fought 2 of the 4 nights I was there. They cussed and carried on in the yard. So even tho house is cute the stay itself was a very bad stay

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.

This property is truly a gem. My friend and I traveled to Waco to have the full Magnolia’s experience. We were close to everything, it was easy to get around and the property was clean and looked just like the pictures. The neighborhood looks a little rough but we had absolutely no issues. I would recommend this place to anyone.
