Dine with TSTC

The student restaurant is open on select Wednesdays & Fridays from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Experience a taste of TSTC!

Join us at the Greta Watson Culinary Arts Building at our Waco campus to see and taste what our culinary students are learning.

This unique experience gives our students the chance to transform our learning space into a full-service dining restaurant. Students practice their skills both in the kitchen (back of the house), in the dining room (front of the house) and everywhere in between.

Your participation is important in putting their knowledge and skills to practice, so we appreciate you joining us!

Reservations Will Open Again Soon!

More menus will be posted soon. Stay tuned!

The reservation system will reopen two weeks prior to the next service date.

Cancellations:

We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel or adjust your reservation, please email us as soon as possible. Kindly note that changes cannot be made during the week of service.

If you have any questions, please reach out to wacoculinary@tstc.edu.

Please Note:

Due to recent news coverage, reservations have been filling up faster than ever-sometimes within minutes! We’re so grateful for your support and patience. Unlike most restaurants, our availability depends on the number of students enrolled each semester. That means we can’t always accommodate as many guests as we’d like each week-but we’re doing everything we can to welcome as many of you as possible.

To help us provide the best experience for all guests, we kindly hold reservations for 15 minutes past the scheduled time. After that, the table may be made available to other guests.

Thanks for sticking with us–we love serving this community!

Thank you for your patience with both the Culinary Arts staff and its students. Please remember, this is a learning experience for the students, and limiting the number of dine-in patrons will give them a chance to learn effectively – and give patrons better service overall. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
