Food quality is very good, the food tasted very fresh…read more Normaly prices for this type of restaurant, maybe slighter more but also organic. Service is fine, a little slow but also busy. Reason 4 stars is because some of the food didn't come out as hot. American food and southwestern style as well for selection.

I would recommend driving out to the Waco, TX area and visiting Homestead Heritage at least once in…read moreyour lifetime, if you are able to. Do you want the experience of a blast from the past? Then this is the place. There are exhibits and working shops of different tradespeople and their crafts, i.e., quilting, woodworking, leather, soap, cheese, etc. We came on a Saturday when they have an open market at the "Barn" (a big barn where all share their crafts and finished work for sale). It was a delightful experience. All provide friendly service and attention to detail. There is no cost to visit, but you may find their wares pricey. But you need to know that everything is handmade by experts in their craft. Their Homestead Heritage Cafe serves great coffee and is a delightful place to spend some time sipping a cup of coffee or tea. The Homestead Heritage Restaurant is worth the visit (make a reservation though as it fills up).

Homestead Heritage is a commune-like place just north of Waco. It is based on Christian tenets;…read moremost of the 900 or so people involved in Homestead Heritage live nearby. Their goal is to be self-sufficient in all ways - growing their own crops, making soap, building their own timber framed structures, etc. The cool thing I love about Homestead Heritage is it's focus on traditional craft. The products that this group makes are of very high quality and include fiber arts, ceramics, traditional blacksmithing, and my favorite - furniture making. The Homestead Heritage Woodworking shop turns out impressive furniture and have won awards for their work. It's not cheap (the entire place is not cheap - I guess it helps fund their commune) but the quality is amazing. Windsor chairs, pencil post bed frames, dining tables are beautifully made and not like the mass-produced (cough, craptastic) "Amish" furniture that is sold all over these days. The woodworking shop offers classes in furniture making, making timber framed structures, and other topics. If you're not interested in buying anything, it's worth a look around (there's also a deli). It's a good place to take a break on the otherwise boring drive from Austin to Dallas on I-35. Four stars (would be five stars if the prices were a bit less).

And I'm so glad I was finally able to visit! Such a fun way to spend several hours. From the shops to the lawn games to the food trucks, this place has it all. Carefully curated - it's very Chip and Jo. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and welcoming. We stopped by here around 2:00pm on a Saturday in August and I thought it was going to be packed, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was busy, but I expected it to be busier. There is free parking a few blocks away, which is super nice. There are several shops, a bakery, and a coffee shop. There is something for everyone. We really loved our trip here and hope we can come back again.

I made a trip to Hobby Lobby to purchase a few charms to make wine charms. Upon arrival, i noticed…read morethere was a 50% off sale for exactly what i came in for which i was ecstatic about! I ended up purchasing a large amount due to the sale ending the next day and i didn't want to miss out on the deal. After going home and deciding on what i wanted to keep i took the rest back to return. No issues there. A few more days down the line i changed my mind again and needed less charms due to a change in guests for my event. So i had to take a few more back, unopened of course. This older lady... Debora.. was very passive aggressive with me. I was trying to make conversation and say how sorry i was that it was so complicated due to the last person marking all over the receipt with pen and making it confusing. She goes "well we know how to read it but when you do 2 separate returns it makes it confusing for us". In an annoyed voice. And so i go "well it would just be nice for you guys if you just needed to scan each item like every other store instead of needing to match up barcodes." Trying to show how i was being empathetic to her. That just really irritated me. It was so unnecessary to be that way. She didn't even say bye she just handed me my receipt and moved to the next person.

I'm sad they got rid of the coupon but they have held true to their promise to offer some really amazing deals. There's always great sales going on. My only complaint about this location is that it is always so busy. It always takes at least 20 minutes or longer to get through the line. I don't think there's really much they can do about it because every registers open but it's just crazy busy. I have found myself going to Michael's to avoid the crowds, in hopes That I will find alternative items, but I rarely do. So guess I will just tolerate the lines lol. Hobby lobby is worth it! The parking lot is huge but parking is usually a bit of an issue but there are spaces always available further out in the parking lot.

Justin & Rebecca are not only fantastic people, they are top notch business owners. I have ordered quite a few items from them. The customer service is stellar.

I have called Rebecca with vague ideas and she has come up with designs for items far better than my imagination. I couldn't find anything bad to say about this business if I tried unless I just made up some nonsense. They are really that good!
