Description

Kitok’s has been feeding Waco since the mid-'70s, but it was the invention of its Oriental fries—a tangle of tempura-battered potatoes, onions, carrots, and parsley—that turned a neighborhood burger joint into a local legend.

It’s a story of burgers and bulgogi, soy sauce and ketchup, family kids doubling as waiters, and a restaurant that still embodies Waco’s weirdly wonderful mash-up identity.
