“They changed everything around in the store and I'm handicapped and it makes it very difficult to have to walk around and look for things! Also they have two or three registers and they only ever have one open in the lines are too long! I hate going to the Dollar Store. I must apologize to the Dollar General in Elm Mott. I thought I was reviewing the Dollar General in Lacy Lakeview on 77 and Craven. That store is a complete and total mess! So when you read this just realized I made a mistake in the locations of the stores and I hope this clear things up”
“Our church Bought a new fridge from them. They ordered it and was here in about a week. Came out when said, delivered new fridge, and took away old. Also had them service our ice machine. A week later a part went out and they took to shop and replaced for free! Excellent service, would recommend, and use again!”
“Jillian helped me find an amazing cologne and made the whole process easy. He was knowledgeable, professional, and picked out a scent that fits me perfectly. Great customer service and attention to detail. Highly recommend asking for Jillian if you’re looking for a new fragrance!”

“Very interesting shops supporting homesteading skills. There is one shop for quilting, sewing, etc. There is a shop with toys, canning supplies, animal care items, etc., and the last shop is a market. The market has a variety of locally made items, kitchen items, and hard to find healthy food products. Starting in March, they will have a farmer's market as well. Very friendly and helpful staff as well.”

“The Corner Stop
★★★★☆ (4/5)
This visit wasn’t just about food—it was about paying attention.
Pulling into the parking lot, the first thing that showed up was the smell. Not subtle, not neutral—heavy, oil-forward, loud. For some, that’s the signal to go in. For others, that’s enough information to pause. That moment matters.
Inside, the setup is clear: hot case, volume cooking, fried rib tips front and center. No confusion about the identity of the place.
What I Ordered
* Spicy fried ribs (small)
* Peach cobbler
* Tea cakes
* Pecan pie (did not finish)
The Food
Spicy Fried Ribs
The ribs didn’t land for me the way the reputation suggests.
* Visually: dry, heavily breaded, small meat-to-bone ratio
* Taste (no sauce): flat, not much going on
* Taste (with sauce): improved, but more covered than elevated
The structure felt like it depended on sauce to come alive. And because they’re held in a hot case, not cooked to order, texture and moisture take a hit. That’s part of the system.
Peach Cobbler
This was solid. Warm, sweet, and actually delivered on flavor. No complaints here.
Tea Cakes
These were the standout for me. Simple, clean, and worth coming back for on their own.
Pecan Pie
Too filling-heavy for my preference. Not enough pecan presence, so I passed on it.
The Experience
Service was excellent. Friendly, welcoming, and patient. That part is real and deserves to be said.
There’s also something else worth noting: this place clearly means something to people. The reviews reflect loyalty, history, and community—not just taste. That’s part of why it’s lasted.
Final Thought
This is one of those spots where two things can be true at the same time:
* A lot of people genuinely love it
* This particular experience didn’t fully connect for me
No attacks, no hype—just a report of what actually happened from start to finish.
I’d come back… just not for the ribs.”

Veganism and Organic Sustainability is the only way to heal the planet. This store is the best healthcare. This store is the solution to solving almost all problems in existence.”
“I had a great experience throughout the store, but the cashier kinda ruined it for me. I had to break my items up into two different orders because I needed a separate receipt for specific items. Then I had 3 items at the end that needed to be paid for with a different card. I had everything all organized and things should have gone smoothly. It did for the most part, but it was evident that she was pretty particular about how my transaction should be handled. As a cashier for the better part of 20 years, I know that cashiers are any store's last line of defense. They make or break the customer's experience. Thus was the case here; she should have just gone with the flow and done her job politely. Instead, I left the store feeling irritated and like I should be to blame for irritating her. I'm not going to type out all the details of her behavior, but even though there were a few more steps to take, the situation was not complicated and I wasn't bossy or high-maintenace about it. She, however, got a little snipity about it. With a smile, but snipity nonetheless. After all, I'm the one paying for everything and if I need to split things for a separate receipt or payment, I shouldn't be getting attitude about it.
Overall, the store was clean, well-stocked, and had a good layout. The deli associates were very nice. The restrooms were clean and well taken care of too.”
“We love Aldi where ever we travel, but I simply do not understand why the Corn Square cereal boxes are always smashed to Hell in every store I have ever been to.”
“HEB shall always be my favorite store. You can get everything here. & they are polite, help you shop if you need assistance, take your groceries out. They are Super in my book. Thanks for making them bigger & better.”
“I am a chef and shop their daily. The staff is friendly and store is clean even In construction! They have hard to find fresh herbs. Please add more dry spices by the pound. They are always out of the chicken soup mix and butchers blend black pepper. I love April in wine she’s the BEST on helping me pair my wines! It’s MY HEB! Chef Heir”
“It's so convenient, especially for my husband, who has a harder time at other grocery stores trying to find WIC approved items. I would go to them after my WIC appointments, and I was wondering how this will all play out as I'm moving quite a way away from the location and WIC office... THEY NOW HAVE A WIC OFFICE AVAILABLE IN THE STORE!!! This is the best addition ever and service; it's convenient, with an extremely kind and helpful staff. This mama bear is so grateful.”
“Here visiting from out of town. I went through the express lane. The cashier‘s name is Henry when I tell you this was the best customer service I have had in a while, very professional, very friendly very helpful. When I am back in the Waco area. I will definitely come back to this location, simply because of this young man. He could definitely teach a course on how customer service should be.”
“Went here because my car wouldn't start so I had to get it towed to the house and they was nice to let me call and have it towed to the house thanks for that”

“I had to get dog food. Just a small bag that would last until I could get the premium food from the feed store. Naturally the small bags are a little expensive. But hanging on the shelf were coupons for $3-4 off witch made the deal just right.”

“Located in the back, middle of Spice Village. All the oils and vinegars can be sampled (pour in little cups or with pieces of free bread). They have a nice selection of fruity (e.g., cherry, coconut, raspberry, peach) and aged balsamics and spiced olive oils. It’s hard to tell the ingredients and where they come from, which I would like to see (website doesn’t seem to provide either).”

They have everything you could want here, friendly staff, and there is also Grady's Grub food truck out back! Might I also add they do have all grades of Gas available! Stop By, grab some custom looking sun shades and a cool drink!”
“Always clean, and well-stocked. Staff is friendly and easy to find in the stored. I consider this one of the best Dollar Generals in Waco, if not the State of Texas.”

If it would have had wooden floors I would have stayed for hours.”
