How 'bout ... Clay Pot

How 'bout ... Clay Pot

[ "How 'bout …" is the logical extension of our tagline "Where you wanna eat?" Because we've all been there when someone says "Where you wanna eat?" and then everyone stands around a little awkwardly until someone cautiously offers up "How 'bout …" and then the name of a restaurant. It's also a way for us to highlight the restaurants that we want to highlight. Here it goes. ]

Clay Pot serves fantastic Vietnamese cuisine, including but not limited to traditional Vietnamese soup (Pho), fried rice, banh mi and an impressive variety of vegetarian options, in an elegant-yet-casual setting. The restaurant in the red-and-yellow building near the Baylor campus has been family owned and operated for 20 years.

It's great for ... believe it or not, watching a ball game. Last time I was there, at Sunday lunch after church, we had a table of 10 or so. Most if not all of us were clued in to the Redskins (RG3, obviously) on the big screen TV in the corner. Also it's a chill dinner spot for people with both advenurous and casual Asian diners.

We recommend … dumplings as a starter or, even better, fried dumplings.

The kids will dig ... sitting on the floor at the floor tables. I don't know if parents will love this as it's so much easier for the toddlers to get up and wander. Somebody give it a shot and let us know.

WacoFork folks say ... "You know what this place is? Home. A home away from home, complete with the ability to eat on a coffee table with my bum on a pillow. And the Clay Pot staff? Family." -- ninjacoco
