Found this gem on Yelp and decided to give it a try after reading the menu and reviews. SO glad we…read moredid! 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!

This place is beautifully decorated and designed. Highly recommended!

It may be a fork and knife entree. 5 out of 5: Try the fried mac & cheese bites with Pepperjack: so lightly fried that all of the ingredients shine. 5 out of 5: The sweet tea is amazing!!! 5 out of 5: The service is so nice: pleasant greetings, quick to refill glasses, and ready to offer assorted condiments. The food, service, price, variety and ambiance have definitely made me look forward to my next visit. I still have many items to try, but so far I have been very impressed!

Served with a perfect burrata with green pesto that was most divine- fresh as can be. Mocktails are always my choice and there's a blackberry mocktail made fresh intensely flavored berries that's a wow. So being from Oklahoma my favorite meal is fried chicken and mashed potatoes. We split a plate and we were not sorry. The perfect little chicken gravy pitcher- piping hot- w a generous helping of sauce served two easily. For desert there's an extensive selection ( including strawberry shortcake) but we opted for just plain latte made impeccably. Congratulations. You've really made America's best restaurant imo! We loved it. Coming from NYC we are spoiled for great food. But you have a 5 star accomplishment in this place. Perfectly wonderful. A million thanks-- what a memorable meal!

Decided yesterday that we were wanting to come for breakfast. We don't live far, but we checked…read moreonline the night before and saw there were still a ton of reservations available all morning, all weekend long. So we figured there would be no issue when we showed up at 7:45am on a Friday, with plenty of reservations available, as a party of 3. The hostess told us "we're not accepting walk-ins, because we have reservations booked." The reservations were all booked at 9:00pm last night, huh? Well I'm standing here in front of you, a paying customer, and I can glance around the entire restaurant and tell you it's not even half full. This is now the 2nd time we've been turned away by the hostess telling us they have no availability in a half-empty restaurant. We have eaten here several times before, and back then the food would be rated 5 stars. The restaurant is always freezing, tables are crammed next to each other, so not the best space for eating, but it is pretty and the food was good. Since you can't actually eat here anymore, that brings it down to 2 stars. We left, 6 minutes down the road is Black Bear Diner, which has excellent customer service and great food. I don't know if Magnolia is trying to pretend to drum up exclusivity still, or just keeping a bare bones staff based on number of reservations, but you're literally lighting money on fire keeping a restaurant open that doesn't accept paying, live customers right in front of you. Why are you paying two hostesses to stand there directing zero traffic except back out the door? No one else was waiting to be seated. A parking lot a quarter full. Empty tables all within sight. You paid them to stand there and send your income away, remember that. A whole empire that you built on designing welcoming spaces to host family and friends - turning people away at the door.

The burger was yummy and the flavors blended well! We also enjoyed an order of fried pickles at the table along with samples of their free flavored pickles not pictured. All in all we enjoyed ourselves, the crowd was lively and the kids said this is their new favorite burger place so we will be back again!

I ordered the fried pickles and I thought they would come out as an appetizer, but they were put next to the burger as a side so I was disappointed in that. The fried pickles were way too thick for my liking although they were breaded well. What's neat about this place is the variety of different flavored pickles that they have in the corner for you to eat. I really did like that!! There's a bar in the center of the floor and although I didn't get anything from the bar, I did like the setup. The burger itself was okay. Not spectacular, but not the worst. Would I eat here again? I think I would.

RATING - 3.65 Cajun…read moreCraft is found just off of one of the main roads that's runs along Waco. Off its first appearance, the restaurant appears as your classic no-frills, get-what-you-asked for establishment. There is lots of outdoor seating, very fair pricing, and a surprisingly extensive menu; I doubt you'll fail to find something you enjoy here. Overall it seemed like a location that would be bumping in conjunction with Baylor college nights, post church service, or otherwise Waco-oriented affairs. My only complaint was really the smell. We came near close when some workers were cleaning, however there was an apparent chemical stench within the patio, between the inside seating and outdoor seating. My partner ordered the sausage po boy, while I ordered the fried chicken plate, wish mashed potatoes & gravy + green beans. The wait was rather long, which can be attributed towards the chicken's cook time - which might be front scratch. After we got our plates, I certainly couldn't complain. The chicken was decently sized and decadent with flavor. Consistent, strong Cajun spicing littered the tray and chicken, while its interior was extremely juicy and filled with flavor; additionally, it still maintained structure and provided a nice crunch on the surface. The mashed potatoes were equally as enjoyable. The gravy complemented the potatoes well, and established an equilibrium through texture. The green beans however, were not my favorite. They initially appeared fine on the surface, but became watered down and lacking in flavor the farther down the bowl you went. I would not be surprised if these beans were canned. I would certainly find myself eating here again. Its biggest appeals are the prices, genuine quality of food, and disposition. It is not perfect, but it is more than satisfactory. If you cannot get over the minor inconveniences that you may run into here, then you probably shouldn't be eating Cajun anyways.
