My fiancé and I were in Waco, TX and of course we had to visit the Magnolia Empire! Elaine was our waitress, and she was absolutely AMAZING. So friendly, and personable. She made the experience so memorable! We ordered biscuits to start, and let me tell you, BEST BISCUITS EVER! If you have a table of 2, they allow you to order a half order rather than the full 4 biscuits! The strawberry butter melted right on the flaky biscuits. Heaven on earth! LOL The avocado toast breakfast I ordered was great. The salad dressing over the arugula was delicious! I didn't end up getting a photo of it sadly! read more

Magnolia Table - Jo's Buttermilk Biscuits with Strawberry Butter (2) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waco, Texas

We came here because it's a tourist trap... and that's the experience we got. Over crowded. Loud. Distracted service. Mediocre food. Texas pecan coffee and hazelnut latte... both average. Tomato Basil soup had a lot of parmesan in it... killed the flavor. Grilled cheese was greasy and heavy. Chicken orzo soup was bland. read more

While the service wasn't the best, the food and pricing were excellent! I had the Gaines Brothers burger with jalapeño jam (highly recommend if you like an added kick to your burger) and my husband got chocolate chip pancakes. The choc chip pancakes were fluffy & huge! My burger was cooked perfectly and the fries with fry sauce were delicious as well! read more

Worth all the hype, especially the biscuits . Everything we had was delicious! Order the Bloody Mary!

Food was amazing. We sat in the patio which is decorated perfectly. Had the biscuit witn eggs Benedict and the biscuits melt in your mouth. The basket of fries were the best fries ever have eaten. read more

Definitely do not recommend. So we showed up at 12:30p and placed our party of 4 name on the list & was told it'd be an 1.5 wait. Id just reserve on Open Table yourself, fyi. If you do randomly show up like we did there's plenty of seating out front. I'd recommend you going on Open Table & making you're own reservations bc the way they use their sucks. It took FOREVER to get to 1st in line & when we did we were seated & I felt ignored. Then our waiter came & had the nerve to whisper talk in this loud restaurant. Tell me why this dude forgot to put in one of our orders after we waited forever to get our food. He didn't acknowledge he forgot just kept saying they're grilling it. So then waddled over the "manager" passing our table until I called her over & then she was NOT receptive to feedback about her poorly trained staff from welcoming in people at the door to paying the tab. Just a ugly experience overall. The food was delicious but the staff...ruined it read more

My company paid for me and a few coworkers to come celebrate our win since we reached our goal a reservation was made although we did have to wait 20 minutes. It wasn't that big of a deal. I I highly recommend trying the biscuits with their jellies. It is amazing! Such a clean place and a great experience I would definitely come back but read more

This is a very good breakfast spot with some lunch options as well, plus some breakfast cocktails. The breakfast tacos were very tasty with eggs, cheese and a protein - I had one bacon and one sausage and each was good. My wife had a chicken salad sandwich which she enjoyed. I had apple pie for dessert and it was tasty, as well. I do wonder why everyone seems to serve cake and pie with a spoon instead of a fork these days. The staff was friendly and attentive. Coffee refills were plentiful (and the coffee is very good.) The only limitation is their hours - since it is primarily breakfast, they close at 3pm. However, if it's 3pm and you haven't had breakfast yet, the hours may not be your only problem. (If you do get there too late, Health Camp is next door so you can grab a burger.) It was pretty busy while we were there but service was quick. It would be interesting to know the ratio of locals to Fixer-Upper pilgrims. Recommended. read more

We (three in the party) felt the food was average to mediocre. The only thing great was the pear cocktail. Scrambled eggs were not good..try folding and circulating some air to make the scrambled eggs fluffy. The big heirloom tomato that came with all three dishes were too ripe and texture was grainy. I've had better prepackaged turkey club sandwiches...disappointing. Definitely don't plan to come here again. The service and the atmosphere was great. read more

If you're a fan of Chip and Joanna and in Waco you need to stop at the Magnolia Table. What a fantastic restaurant for brunch. The service was awesome. They were very attentive and provided awesome recommendations. The food was delicious and fresh. We started with Jo's Buttermilk Biscuits all I can say is WOW! Tasty! These pictures do not do the food justice. It's a definite place to visit and eat. read more

What a wonderful experience! Just be aware that this is not in the same location as the silos. We had to literally jump into our car to make it on time for our reservation. Food is delicious and surprisingly well priced for a very popular destination. Menu is thoughtfully curated and quality is outstanding. Although it's hard to mess up breakfast/ brunch... you can see the care that they put in for every order. If you shop at the silos, you get a discount when you dine here. Win- win! Lovely, lovely place. Comfortable, clean and relaxing. read more

Omg ! Where to start! From the minute we walked in to the minute my husband and I left it was phenomenal. I recommend making reservations, that way you can be seated immediately! Our server was amazing, kind and well attentive to us. The food was fresh and yummy ! The esthetic is all good vibes and great energy! Chip and Joanna did a great job with this restaurant. I ordered the eggs Benedict on the famous biscuits with fresh avocado slices and a side of hash browns and a butter pecan pancake with an iced latte. I loved it ! The food is great. The customer service is top notch and the vibes are amazing. This place is a must when in Waco! read more

We stopped in Waco, TX to have the whole "Magnolia" experience so, of course we had to eat at Magnolia Table. We made breakfast reservations through Open Table because we were unsure of the wait time. We showed up a few minutes early, and we were sat right away. I noted no one else was waiting but by the time we left, the line was out the door. The breakfast was delicious, and the ambiance was on point for Jo and Chip. They did a fabulous job with the building and esthetic. The only complaint I have is the parking lot could benefit from resurfacing. There were several elderly people walking very slow and sometimes unsteady. It made me nervous they would fall. Thankfully, they did not. read more

It was so cold my stomach hurt and couldn't enjoy my food. Everyone around us was complaining. When I mentioned it to the waitress she shrugged and moved on. Love Brussels but theirs were so over cooked its was a bowl of ashes. A terrible experience at the most popular restaurant in Waco. Won't be back. read more

Reservations are a must here, for obvious reasons. I made our reservations back in April and am very glad I did. Once we checked in, our wait was still about 15 minutes even though we were slightly early. We were told we could either hang out or go visit the to-go area which also houses a small gift shop. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. Service was quick and efficient. Everything we ordered was delicious. My husband said the burger was good but not cooked correctly which was a turn off. He felt it was really dry. We were seated in front of the drink counter so it was interesting watching them prepare and send out the different drinks. read more

This place has been on my bucket list and did not disappoint! Such a cute restaurant and great service! I made a reservation for my party of 9 about 3 months in advance. Not sure if I had to do it that early but I wanted to be safe. I arrived to my reservation early and they were able to seat us about 20 minutes earlier than our scheduled time. I ordered the pancake breakfast which came with a side order of bacon or sausage. The bacon was delicious and seasoned on the sweet side. The pancakes were huge! Almost the exact size as the plate itself. If you go, please try their biscuits with their spread of different butters. The pumpkin one was my favorite pairing. They do accept walk ins but I did overhear the wait was about 2 hours (on a Saturday midday). read more

The food was delicious and picture-worthy! The bread appetizer gave options for the different butters... great selection (honey butter is still my favorite, though). The jalapeno jam was very flavorful with the deviled eggs and excellent bacon. read more

Pros: food is good. We had the eggs Benedict, jos crunchy French toast, and breakfast sandwich. Portions are pretty big as well. Ambience is nice, very Magnolia branded--all the plates, cutlery, etc... were very farmhouse chic. Friendly service. Cons: like a lot of people say, slow service. We waited at least 10 min after being seated before we were greeted by our server. The wait wasn't that bad, my biggest critique was the food temperature. Everything we got was cold! I don't know if the food sat around and waited too long or if everything is already premade but I didn't have one even slightly warm dish out of the whole meal. read more

Service was impeccable. Ask for Adam! The aesthetic was perfect and just as you'd think it'd be. Cleanliness was evident (the bathrooms especially). The food was decent, not the best. We ordered the biscuits as an appetizer. For our entrees we ordered the Caesar salad, salmon, the chicken, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. Apple crisp for dessert was SO GOOD. Notable items: the salad, mac and cheese, and the desert. read more

Nice restaurant with good food. We ordered the southern style Benedict which our son inhaled. Great flavor with a little kick. I had the burger which was ok. Nothing spectacular. We also had a side of eggs which was great. Like a soufflé. Overall food was good. Not too spectacular considering the big name and trendy ambience. A must go to dinner while in Waco, Tx as the Silos have only food truck. Clearly a destination restaurant with pretty good food. read more

A Mixed Moment at Magnolia Table It had been a few years since our last family outing to Magnolia Table. We decided to have a late breakfast there on a recent Thursday. We arrived around 10:30 and had about a 30-minute wait without any reservations. The restaurant continues to draw a crowd, as the primary restaurant of the Magnolia franchise. The breakfast service was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. With our orders taken, we were quickly served fresh coffee, decaf and regular. The coffee, in general, is a bit of a "miss" for the restaurant. First, the decaf was just lukewarm. This was rectified by the server on their next visit to the table. However, overall, the coffee was not very good...leaving quite an aftertaste. Both of us in our party ordered the Farmhand breakfast, and we had a side of one pancake. The base farmhand items - potatoes, scrambled eggs, and bacon/sausage - were good, but nothing special. That brings me to the two "hits" of our entrees. The biscuits, with strawberry butter, were top-notch. And, the one pancake was huge, filling the entire surface area of the plate, and was cooked to perfection. Paired with butter and syrup, every bit of the pancake was savored. The price for two for breakfast was just about $60, which is quite expensive for what I would call a basic breakfast and clearly reflecting the "tourist" pricing effect. However, I would come here again just for the pancakes and biscuits. read more

I thought this would be overrated, but boy was I wrong! Everything was fantastic! The biscuits with different flavored spreads/butters were amazing. And the chicken salad sandwich is the best I've ever had! Of course it is a beautiful space that is perfectly decorated and put together. And our server was so sweet and friendly. read more

We dropped by Magnolia Table on our way to Fort Worth. Secured a 2:15 reservation, got in with little to no wait. The place is nice but the food is subpar. DH ordered a burger with fries. Nicely served but burger was apparently very dry. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich. I find it bland and the croissant used is not fresh anymore. Was it our fault that we got to eat late in the afternoon already thus, food not fresh anymore? Server was friendly but was gonna charge us for drinks we didn't order and automatically chose 20% tip button in the iPad when you sign. Conclusion : the place is just for hype and enough for one experience. read more

Great lunch stop today. First time for the hubby. Not as crowded on a Tuesday. Wait time about 20 minutes. The decor was great , waitstaff very personable and friendly.

It was really nice to visit, and they happen to be filming a live cooking show. We got to see Joanna Gaines as well at the Silos. Besides that, it has definitely become a tourist hot spot. We had breakfast at Magnolia Table. It is a clean, nice restaurant. The service was above expectation with our big party. The food was good. I had the breakfast tacos. They were good nothing special. The biscuits were a little salty, but the strawberry butter is a nice touch. The bacon was nice and thick, the tater tots were different since they were balls. From the restaurant, you can take a shuttle to the Silos to get cupcakes and shop. They charge for the shuttle which isn't that frequent and $3 a person. If your lucky there is street parking by the Silos or paid parking. Overall, it was cool for the experience, but I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here. read more

Fantastic breakfast that offers everything we were looking for. We got lucky and was able to snag a table without a reservation early on a Saturday morning. If you don't have a reservation and don't get lucky like we did, you can always grab it to go at the "Take Away" section. I opted for the Crispy French Toast which was fantastic. I love the overall vibe and comfortable atmosphere this place offers. I really felt at home especially with some of the best staff I've ever encountered at a restaurant. A + service. I can't wait to come back. read more

Such a cute and homey feel inside! Recommend making reservation as soon as you know you are making a trip out here. I came on a weekday (Wednesday) and was able to make reservation the day before through open table for breakfast at 0800. There was already a good amount of people seated but no line outside. If you are running a little late like us and expect to be 11 minutes (my bad, so hard with kids), they encourage you to call. However navigating through the phone tree took a lot of time. As soon as I was on hold for someone we already arrived into the parking lot. They won't sit your party until they all arrived so I went back out to help my husband gather all the kids. We were sat down as soon as we were all together. They do have high chairs and one of those sling things to put your carseats in. The food was good but pricey for no "OMG this is amazing" reaction. The food really isn't anything to run home and tell everyone about. I will say the best thing was the bread basket. Since fall is in the air there was pumpkin bread and banana nut bread. Now those were delicious!. Being a basic witch myself I did get the pumpkin spice latte. It was good and the latte art is cute. We got the fresh squeezed juice sampler. My daughter loves them all and it was good and refreshing Jo's biscuits with strawberry butter was okay. I would have liked the strawberry butter to melt on my biscuits but it is what it is. My daughter loved eating just the strawberry butter. I had the avocado toast with a medium fried egg. It was good but nothing different from another other one I have ordered except this might have been the pricest avocado toast I have ordered. Haha. I really wanted the oatmeal but since they changed the menu to meet the season it was with apple and I'm not about that. The staff was amazing! So friendly and always smiling. Actually the only ones not smiling were the 3 girls at the hostess desk. Our server was awesome and he checked on us often! There is a coffee shop next door, patio seating with a coffee stand, and a big parking lot. It is worth checking out at least once and who knows, you might be totally in love with it more than I. read more
