Description:
I have always been intrigued by the matchbook images from George’s Surf and Sirloin located in Waco. Texas. I finally found one so I decided to start a thread on locating Tiki.

The matchcover shows some cool signage.

And advertises the Beachcomber Room with a view of Diamondhead.

Back of the matchcover, closed one day a year.

I picked up a postcard showing the interior and exterior.

The restaurant started out as George’s Chef and then changed names to Surf and Sirloin.

The interior with some nice monkeypod tables and the bamboo and thatch encased Beachcomber Room shown at the back.

I also found another image showing the actual signage that was depicted on the matchcover - tres cool!

A little more history, the original George’s Chef signage.

And a discussion of the restaurant with some Black and white photos of the interior.

Not the only Tiki place in Waco.
