    I'm always in search of the best chicken fried steak and this place was top ranking! The first was perfectly fried and crunchy, the beef was tender and the gravy had a good consistency. The mashed potatoes were equally delicious! The green beans were just ok but honestly the chicken fried steak made up for that! Service was great and friendly! It's a charming cafe in a smaller sized town with plenty of seating available. I will definitely be back!

    Homemade biscuits meal! Comes with 2 eggs, choice of hash browns, fruit or cheese grits and choice of bacon or sausage!

    I'm a sucker for homemade biscuits! Probably the best I've found in Texas so far! The breakfast was awesome!

    Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes weird gravy, macaroni & cheese, house salad, and a roll

    The place is so beautiful!! My mom and I took so many pictures and were so excited. We ordered a…read moreMAD burger and the steak bowl. 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.

    Came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Had no wait time and found the service to be fast and…read morefriendly The appetizers jumped out to me as more interested than the main dishes, though some of the mains did sound good. 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!

    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!

The atmosphere is beautiful, the restaurant is clean, and the staff was friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. As for the food, it was just... okay. It wasn't bad by any means, but it also wasn't anything that made me think the drive or the hype was worth it. Everything tasted decent, just pretty average for the price. I expected to be wowed, but instead it felt like a solid breakfast spot with great branding. If you're already in Waco, it's worth checking out once for the experience and the ambiance. But if you're making a special trip just for the food, keep your expectations realistic.

    The food was pretty good. Not the best salmon, not the worst. The sides were good, though I ordered…read morea side of cinnamon apples for $2.50 extra and there were 3.5 apple slices in a tiny bowl. Not even worth a $1. The special was good, my boyfriend loved his CFS. However, the waitress, Maya I believe her name was, very blatantly was flirting with my boyfriend. I am always the one that speaks for us when we are eating and I am always polite, I attempted to do so and realized she is looking at my boyfriend, smiling and looking in his eyes. I tried to speak to her a couple of times and she was just cheesin it up to my bf. Not looking at me at all. I don't consider myself insecure, we've been out to eat 100s of times, and this experience was a first. There's an acceptable amount of that, but Maya was a bit over the edge. If Ms Maya wants a bigger tip, she needs to stop flirting with people's men. He may have paid, but I decide the tips, and I often pay. It would be to her benefit to stop flirting with customer's men, and start looking at the lady at the table. It's good business and manners!!!! Learn some morals, friend!!! and flirt with your OWN MAN, not other women's...ffs. Thirsty much???

    As always Rosa took good care of my table at lunch. I am disappointed that her section has been…read moredivided up and part of it given away to another hostess. I've been in there when it was wall to wall people and never had to wait when Rosa was waiting us. If her section is full when I come in, I will wait until one of her tables/booth becomes available. I urge her other loyal customers to do the same!
