    Elijah Burger and Sweet Potato fries and garlic alioli!
    Victoria H.

    The food was awesome--it tasted so real and delicious!! Staff was super great and friendly and the atmosphere was super nice. Thank you revival!!

    Burning Bush
    Derek S.

    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.

    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!

    The Eve Salad with Chicken
    Heather H.

    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!

    The 8th Day Sandwich
    Ellie N.

    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.

    Amazing timing led us to Magnolia Table when they opened for dinner at 4 pm! We ordered the burrata…read moreand focaccia that tasted as if it came fresh from the oven somewhere in Italy. 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 good but the steak bowl was very disappointing. It was $19 but the portion was incredibly small, I think it was one of the most expensive items in the menu, if not the most and it was really small. I had to share my burger with my mom bc the portion was so small that she was hungry after eating it. Other than that, the service was great. Way too overpriced for what it was. We kind of regretted going, especially because so many people recommended us to go.

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!

Egg was a little harder than some other ramen eggs, but overall a good amount of food for the price. At CurryUp got the pad Thai with chicken - very good flavor. Not a huge serving size but plenty enough for 1 person. Overall the food hall is great - lots of options, students eating dinner so you can see what the like. Minor downside is parking - the lot was full when we came on a not-too-busy Sunday night, but we got street parking easily. Overall a great stop in Waco!
