Found this gem on Yelp and decided to give it a try after reading the menu and reviews. SO glad we did! It's off the beaten path which is nice because we were able to find parking. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed to choose a table of our preference. The waitress quickly came over and grabbed our drink order while we looked at the menu. We placed our order and the waitress was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. She also informed us they work as a team so we can stop anyone when/if we need something. We started with the "Burning Bush" appetizer (crispy Brussel sprouts w/ lemon garlic aioli). YUM! They had just the right bite to them, and the glaze on them paired with the aioli was delicious! For our entrees we had the Golden Calf Burger w/ sweet potato fries and sriracha aioli and The Weight of Glory Sandwich w/ broccoli slaw. They were both incredibly flavorful and fresh! You can tell they locally source their ingredients and prepare them onsite. The portions are also plentiful, and we left with a takeout box. To round off lunch we tried the special mousse on the specials board (coffee flavored cheesecake mousse). It was so delightful we dug in before I could snap a pic. Just enough coffee flavor paired with chocolate sauce (not hersheys ). The big windows allow for a lot of natural light and lends to a welcoming and warm environment. We will for sure be back and bring others! read more

I always swing by here for a fantastic burger in the way to Austin. Iove farm to table spots and their golden calf burger while coleslaw was divine. I especially enjoyed how the herbed goat cheese mixed with the lemon aioli (aioli is garlic mayo so the garlic is redundant in the menu) and beef patty. That combo was deadly to me, oof Some nice cold coleslaw to compliment the hot burger was a nice mix. I still haven't forgotten how heavy their tomato soup is! So packed with flavor omg. Friendly + quick staff as always and gorgeous wooden seating. read more

Revival Eastside Eatery - Elijah Burger and Sweet Potato fries and garlic alioli! - Sandwiches Near Me - Waco, Texas

The service is very prompt and nice. It's a clean place with a modern ambiance. It can be loud on a Friday afternoon but it's expected given the size. The food, I get why some people love it. Local to table and made fresh. For me, it's wasn't worth the price for the quality I received. I respect the prices for the fact it's local sourced stuff in texas but the burning bush came out overcooked and mushy and the sandwich bread was so dry it really took away from the overall experience. I personally won't be back, but if this place is your thing, give it a try. read more

Came to this sandwich shop before magnolia market, it was great. I don't understand the service where they have multiple people waiting on you because it just causes issues with servers repeatedly coming up to your table asking you the same questions! I was able to look past it, and it was a great spot! I got the chicken pesto sandwich. It was good. I really enjoyed the French fries! Great place for a quick stop for lunch! read more

My fiancé and I were in Waco and stopped by Revival! What a cool concept! We loved all the menu names and our sandwiches were delicious as well! You don't have a dedicated server but rather they all kind of help everyone and it worked very well! I would recommend and come back next time I'm in town! read more

Cool little place. Food was good. Prices were decent. Don't sit outside cause it's too cold and windy. But I'll go back.

Had a FABULOUS sandwich with Gluten free bun!!! So delicious Colten was an amazing server and human Love it and will be back when in Waco read more

It was decent. Food was okay and the drinks weren't anything special. Hamburger comes out well done and not sure you really get a choice of how you want it cooked by the looks of others. Great friendly service. 4.7 stars is a very very friendly score for this place. read more

Great location, ambience, service. But the food which was soup and a salad with steak needed a significant amount more seasoning had to add quite a bit of salt just to get it to taste, right. read more

Oh my word! This place has the best burgers hands down - hand made, fresh, perfect flavor. The fires were on point - tasty and crispy! Servers are friendly and attentive. Facilities were clean and customer friendly. Cool, low-key aesthetic. This our lunch go-to now when in Waco. Lots of fun with the biblical themed menu. read more

I LOVED IT! I'm mad at myself for not going here sooner. It is casual, open dining. A very friendly staff, delicious food at a really good price. I will definitely be back. I just wish they were open more than 11 to 3 but I will make sure to come back during those hours. If you're looking for a healthy -great quality, in a casual, comfortable dining atmosphere -this is your place!! I got the Trinity sandwich and the sweet potato fries- DEEEEELICIOUS! read more

Driving through our way home to The Colony,TX and found this place on yelp. I see why they have great reviews!! The service was fantastic! Lots of friendly smiling faces. The food was amazing! The Eve salad was fresh and the flavor combination was amazing! My husband had a chicken sandwich on the rosemary sourdough bread which was also fantastic! The place was very clean and one thing we noticed was every employee was constantly washing their hands. The owner was also great and super friendly. We will definitely be back when we travel out this way! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch experience at this fantastic little restaurant! I had the Eve salad with chicken & it was unreal! Best salad I've had at a restaurant in who knows how long. Service is fantastic and the prices are outstanding. Highly recommended! Extra credit points awarded for the punny Biblical menu item names! read more

Good sandwich and perfect sweet potato fries. I haven't had sweet potato fries this good in a while. They added a perfect amount of salt. It tastes good without giving you a heart attack. The sandwich is tasty and all the fillings taste fresh. Our server is very sweet and attentive. read more

Revival Eastside Eatery - The 8th Day Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Waco, Texas

See all

Revival is a place to enjoy farm to table food. It's fresh. It's delicious. It's too bad Revival doesn't serve dinner every night. But I guess that makes dinner at Revival extra special. The Golden Calf is my absolute favorite! My husband lives the 8th Day. I appreciate that the sodas are from Maine Root made with real cane sugar instead of processed sugar, con syrup, or synthetic sweeteners. The wait staff is typically made up of Baylor students who are attentive and friendly. The concrete floors and brick walls do mean the space can get noisy. Revival's sister restaurant, Street Dog Cafe, a couple blocks down on Elm, is also a great place to eat. read more

I go through Waco about once a year and wanted to find a place for lunch that I hadn't been to before. I found this hidden gem full of fresh food, friendly servers, and happy people. To start, their menu items all had clever biblical names or biblical references. I'm kind of a burger snob, and tried the Holy Grail burger...wow, it was fresh and delicious! Also, I can't remember a better side of sweet potato fries served with lemon garlic aioli I know where I'm going when I come again next summer! This is definitely a must try. read more

Great friendly service , good food great atmosphere. I would go back and recommend to a friend.

Good very fresh and healthy menu. Loved the 8-A or 8-ball (whatever it was called) chix w/bacon sando. It was big enough for us to split. Great roasted Brussel sprouts, good crispy sweet potato fries, good iced tea! The service was a little weird tho... my brother & I are both over 65, white hair, all that. The waitress seemed to kind of "arms length" us??!? Like kept putting the food down on the furthest corner on the table away from us? We asked for the sandwich to be split (we did get a second plate-thingy) and had to keep asking for lemon & sweet-n-low for the tea. Maybe I'm trippin, but the table service was just weird. The bar gal very cheerfully gave me a fresh ice tea to go though (w/lemon and everything). read more

Food was good and refreshing. We had been traveling all day and didn't want greasy fast food. We got John the Baptist appetizer-pita bread came warm out of the oven. Got the Garden of Eating salad with chicken and greens were fresh and crisp. The service was excellent-many servers coming by refilling waters/checking if we needed anything. Unfortunately we didn't try dessert but plan to next time. I would recommend for in between fast food and full service restaurant that is refreshing. Prices are decent, too read more

Amazing experience! Helpful communal waitstaff and everything was delicious and fresh. My favorite part was the puns of church things for the food items since it is located in a building that used to be a church. I told everyone I know! Hilarious. read more

Revival Eastside Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - Waco, Texas

I had given up on finding good food in waco until I came here. Everything is sourced locally and you can taste it in the food. It tasted very fresh. I got a burger with everything on it and I tried a beef sandwich. We also got a Mexican coke which had unlimited refills. The arugula was delectable, probably the best arugula i've ever had. The meat also tasted very fresh. Service was very attentive (a little TOO attentive at a certain point) but I thoroughly enjoyed this place and would return! Best restaurant in Waco imo this far. read more

The food was very very good. The cookies were excellent! Service was great. No complaints at all!!!

Stumbled upon this gem while traveling to see a customer. The staff was very sweet and food was excellent. Atmosphere was also great!

Excellent staff service! Plus, all items I've eaten so far are well-thought out. Arrive early for lunch rush, as it packs quickly.

We drove 2 hours from Dallas to meetup w a family member . We had never been there before. A lady who we later found out is the manger , frowned at us immediately as we entered . We told her we were meeting someone . She said we would have to wait to sit down for our party to arrive . We had just talked to her; she was 4 minutes out at that time . I have leg braces so I stood against the wall . Second guessing our restaurant choice . The food was okay, just ok. But my opinion is definitely skewed because of of how we were greeted and told we couldn't sit down . At that moment I looked around at every single table was empty except for 3 I think . My husband and I immediately wanted to just leave but we were meeting someone and so we stayed . It was loud hard to have a conversation. And the food was $52. For 3 people 2 sandwiches and a salad . A missed opportunity for revival east side eatery . No way we are going back . We couldn't sit and chat they wanted us out. They kept coming to the table over and over . Let's meet up somewhere else next time . Was looking for a friendly happy relaxed place to chat catchup and have lunch . If that's what you're looking for keep looking . read more

Revival Eastside Eatery - Food for three people $52 and was just ok - Sandwiches Near Me - Waco, Texas

SO LOUD. Minus 1star. If the weather had been better, we'd have eaten outside. We were thinking the employees should wear protective earwear. And the chairs are those outdoor chairs that scrape the ground when they're moved (even carefully). Some felt pads would go a long way. But it would still be loud. Anyway... we really enjoyed our meal. We didn't have a choice how our burger would be cooked, but it was fine. Wish we could've ordered it medium or medium rare. Extra toppings were skimpy for the price - esp the avocado (a mere schmear) and cheddar. The sautéed portobellos were quite good and I'd get them again! I did really like having the choice of SO many condiments. And they were spectacular for the most part. Excellent ranch, lemon aioli, and pesto aioli. And I especially enjoyed the whipped goat cheese. If you're all about the condiments like I am, you have to try this place. If you're more about the meat and cheese, you can probably find a burger more to your taste elsewhere. We tried both the fries and sweet potato fries. Both were fine and made better by the dipping sauces. read more

Revival Eastside Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - Waco, Texas

Can we just start by saying God Bless Texas?! We're Arizona based and decided to take a detour from Dallas on our drive to Austin to see the Magnolia Farms hype. Cute, but crowded. We didn't want the lines and the wait times to eat so we found Revival off the beaten path. The staff all had their southern charm dialed to a 10. The menu was biblical based. But don't worry, you don't have to know the good book to enjoy the delicious food here! We were told the "Golden Calf" hamburger was the most ordered item on the menu. We both ordered it and it was delicious! I subbed for sweet potato fries and they were top notch dipped in the lemon garlic aioli sauce. I almost asked for a straw to suck up every nook and cranny! Farm to table restaurant. It was so charming Jesus would definitely eat here! read more

I adore this place! I don't expect to be back in Waco anytime soon, but if so, I would definitely come back to revival. I love the menu, so creative. I had the PTL it was so good. Amazing service read more

Hands down the most creatively named dishes I have ever come across! That is why I chose to come here.

Revival Eastside Eatery - What a fun concept! - Sandwiches Near Me - Waco, Texas

The sandwiches we had were absolutely dreamy. Both my friend and I have been thinking about them ever since. The rosemary sourdough was the perfect crunch to a jam packed sandwich. Throughout our meal the staff was nothing but lovely and helpful. It was a great place for a group small or large to sit back and enjoy company. Didn't take too long and definitely saving this spot for next time we are in Waco read more

Great flavors, solid, homemade ingredients. Very unique which is a nice change of pace. Very quick service with as busy as they are - it's impressive! Prices have gone up everywhere, so they're honestly priced competitively with just about everywhere else in town. Filling without stuffing you. I don't need leftovers, let's be honest. Pretty open place, could get loud when packed, but has the option of eating outside which is nice! read more

Revival Eastside Eatery - Golden Calf, Titus and The 8th Day Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Waco, Texas

While food and bevs must always be good enough for the money, Revival is worth your time. A step above the local standard, this creative, farm to table spot offers a dining experience carried by a strong undercurrent of teamwork, communication, and due diligence, which is especially rare in Waco hospitality. For solo diners like me, the attentiveness and care given to me was no less than a big ticket party that is additionally unusual. Naturally, there can be issues with so many people coming through daily. When I brought something to their attention, I was treated with respect and appreciation for being able to make it right. Across the staff, my issue was solved near instantly and the rest of my meal was full of checks, getting more napkins intuitively (without request) and the spaces around me were constantly tidied/cleaned, with no one ever standing around or having phones out. Revival brings as much taste as integrity to the table. Highly recommend read more

Did not have to wait long to be seated. Service was top notch, food options were good as well. Would definitely go back.
