    I like the size of these cups.
    Glen N.

    Like the Silos at Magnolia, the brand is somewhere between "minimalist hipster industrial farmer", and this is the only Texas Historic Landmark that sells pimento grilled cheese. It's a landmark because the Spanish Colonial building, once home to the Elite Cafe, was the first in Waco to have air conditioning and Elvis was a regular when he was stationed at Ft. Hood, as depicted in the mural. Other than the mural, there's not much to see other than an unimpressive selection of grab-and-go items and some knick-knacks. I found some that looked like boobies. I guess they are knick-knockers.

    We had brunch at Magnolia Table and the food and service were good. We didn't feel like they had anything extraordinary on the menu, but what we got was tasty. Not sure if they would have nearly as much business if they were not related to Chip and Joanna Gaines.

    Food was delicious! Huge fan of Joanna and Chip so it was cool to get to taste the food from her restaurant and the interior she designed. The biscuits were amazing and something I loved and want to get more of. I got the Southern Style Benedict and it was absolutely delicious and something I'd get again. I heard it is seasonal so definitely come get try it before it goes away! The French toast was light and fluffy and tasty in every bite! Experience was great and the servers were sweet! Everything was amazing!

    If you're in town looking for something to eat or experience all of Waco popular spots... come visit! There's a gift shop that sells some items from the Silo market! Modern Farm house vibes. The food didn't stand out but the strawberry spread for toast sure did! I think they even sell it! It's a whipped light fluffy texture. Good came out room temperature. Excellent table service.

    Slider Trio (salt bomb, I could not finish)

    My family had brunch here this past weekend. The location is a bit sketchy has nothing nice in the immediate surrounding area. We visited the rest of the Magnolia Farm plaza later and it's much nicer. The building itself is super cute and really we done from a renovation standpoint. It was a bit noisy inside but for a casual, brunch setting, I was okay with it. The service was very good. We had: Biscuits w/ 4 butter samplers (4.5/5) - The biscuits were delicious. We unanimously liked the same 2 butters (the regular and berry). The other two (cinnamon and one other berry one), we thought were too strongly flavored. Slider Sampler (2.5/5) - For me, this was a miss. A total salt bomb. I ate 2 of the 3 but could not eat the last one. The two I ate were both super salty, and given the overriding saltiness, I could not tell much flavor difference between the two. Side of Seasoned Fries (3.5/5) - Not as bad as the sliders, but these were very salty as well. Probably worth visiting once as a tourist, I would probably not go back for just the food.

    My husband and I were in Austin for a weekend in December so we drove to Waco for the day and ate here for my birthday lunch! We were placed on the waitlist and waited only 10-15 minutes before being seated. We ordered the Iced Cranberry Green Tea, Jo's Buttermilk Biscuit, Basket of House Fries, Taco Breakfast, Side of Thick-Cut Bacon, and the Slider Flight. Food heaven - we loved everything we ordered and our leftovers still tasted great for dinner. Whatever aioli came with the fries was delicious! I wish I remembered our server's name because he was so attentive and made our experience here so great!

    Great experience! Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious. This place is huge and the tables are stacked in, so you are sitting very close to your neighbor tables. The food quality is certainly worth the price and on brand with the company.

    Really cool place yet still had the home feeling. The food was delicious, it was difficult to decide what to eat because everything looked yummy. I finally chose the breakfast sandwich and it was amazing and the potatoes were perfect. The customer service was wonderful and everyone working smiled as they passed by. Definitely a place I will visit again.

    It's such a cool experience to dine here, being a girlie who has Joanna's cook books and loves to cook myself. To be able to try many of her recipes directly out of her books first hand was so much fun! We made a reservation for Saturday brunch and we were glad we did, the wait times seemed pretty long. We were seated within minutes with a reservation. The menu was pretty typical for brunch with good lunch and breakfast options. For the table to share we ordered the biscuit flight, which were the best biscuits I've ever had, it's a must on the menu. We also ordered to share the slider flight, fries, and a farm breakfast. The sliders are huge and very shareable if cut in half. The farm breakfast came with so many potatoes, also a good portion for sharing.

    Overcooked steak

    Originally I had wanted to go to Magnolia Table during their breakfast/lunch time but our schedule didn't work with that so dinner it was. What a mistake that was.. We were quickly seated for our 4:30 reservation- which the location had very few guests when we arrived. I'm not sure how but our waitress was less than friendly compared to other servers near us. She brought out water then said she'd be right back. We originally were going to order the fried onion stack and the mini biscuits but she said Oh you made a bad choice, we currently don't have the fried onion stack because of something with their fryers not working with the batter? So no fried onion stack, no friend chicken, no fried Brussel sprouts and no kids chicken tenders. So that was confusing- any restaurant we've been to that is out of something or can't serve it would've told us right away while we are looking at the already limited menu. Let's get to the actual taste of the food - my husband and I both ordered the steak frites. I ordered mine medium rare- which check the pictures the center was more on the medium well side. They were skirt steaks so being more done wasn't too big of an issue and overall it tasted good. My son ordered the burger which honestly looked fresher and better than our steaks. It was a little weird that our steaks came out within 5 minutes and the burger within 8-10 min. I wonder about the freshness of everything. Our waitress really never checked on us after the initial order other than to see if we wanted a dessert menu. Literally runners came out with the biscuits and the meals. The server waiting on the table next to us talked to his table and engaged with them which was more than ours did. I will I noticed he didn't tell the table either about things being out until they tried to order Brussel sprouts- again such an odd thing not to mention in beforehand. I will say it was very pretty inside and aesthetically pleasing- which isn't a surprise. Overall, I think we should've skipped dinner and gone to breakfast/lunch. It's a one and done for us.

    Always on the hunt for good biscuits and gravy. Magnolia Table delivered. Nice atmosphere, friendly service and knowledgeable servers. The chicken sliders on biscuits with honey butter are also very good.

    We absolutely LOVE Magnolia Table--if I could give it more than five stars, I would! Everything about this place is wonderful. The restaurant is bright and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly kind. They truly go above and beyond--we had an infant with us, and they were so accommodating, even making sure we had a high chair when it wasn't expected. Be sure to get a reservation if you can; on busy days the wait can easily be two hours, but it's 100% worth it. The food is amazing--my tacos were perfect, and the potatoes were full of flavor. And whatever you do, don't leave without trying a signature lavender latte--it's absolutely delicious! Magnolia Table is always a must-stop for us whenever we're in town. It never disappoints!

    Bucket list to eat at Magnolia Table...I didn't know it's best to have a reservation...but we were seated without a wait on a very busy Thursday at 9:00am. Tables are quite close together, but it adds to the family atmosphere. The food was incredible...as expected... Hot from kitchen and delicious! Waiter Ryan was engaging and helpful and just the right amount of attentive! All is clean and neat and beautifully decorated...outside seating is also available... And there's takeout!

    I was by myself and total time spent there from being seated, ordering, receiving the food, eating, and paying was about 45 minutes.

    What time does the line start when they open? On a Saturday?

    I was there at 6:45 last Thursday morning and I was 8th in line. Saturday we went by around 9 am and it was an hour wait so we got the the same food from the carry out side.

    Reserve for lunch11:30am or noon?

    You have to make reservations online. If none available then you can just show up and wait. We arrived at 7:40 am (Monday morning) & waited until 9:45 until we were seated. Hope this helps.

    Same 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

    You can order breakfast all day. The trick is getting in before they stop accepting people.

    Bacon or sausage?

    Bacon!

    What's the wait time on a Summer Thursday in the morning?

    I have no Idea. I am staying at the magnolia house so we did not have to wait. However, according to the home caretaker it can take up to 1 hour and a half.

That's why I was genuinely disappointed to find out that the chicken Caesar sandwich has been removed from the menu. It might seem like a small change, but for regular customers like me, that sandwich was a standout item and one of the main reasons I kept coming back. It had a great balance of flavor and felt like a reliable go-to every time. Taking it off the menu without a comparable replacement feels like a missed opportunity and, honestly, a bit frustrating. I completely understand that menus evolve and restaurants need to make changes, but it would mean a lot to see fan-favorite items like this either return or be replaced with something similar. Milo's still has a lot going for it, which is why this change stands out even more.

In particular the deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts caught my eye, unfortunately the latter was sold out so I went with the sweet potato Both dishes I had were really good! The candied bacon paired really nicely with the creamy deviled egg, the hot sauce vinaigrette didn't add too much flavor, but honestly adding a significant amount of heat would've probably taken away from an already very tasty dish. The baked sweet potato on the other hand had a nice dose of heat from the Calabrian honey vinaigrette, the sweet heat combo worked really, I'm surprised I'd never come across a spicy sweet potato dish before, but I'll definitely have my eye out for it in the future Overall I had a very good experience and will definitely be back for future rest stop meals between Austin and Dallas!
