Apartments Near Magnolia Table
Magnolia Table is Chip and Joanna Gaines' farm-to-table restaurant, famous for its breakfast, brunch, and Southern-inspired menu.
Why Magnolia Table Matters
Magnolia Table opened in 2018 in the former Elite Cafe building and quickly became one of Waco's hardest restaurant reservations. The menu leans Southern brunch — biscuits, fried chicken, gut-busting omelets, Joanna's grandmother's chicken pot pie — but the appeal is part food, part destination. It's a Chip-and-Jo property, so visiting family will want to go, and the building itself with its garden and patio is one of the more photogenic restaurants in Waco. Living 2.1 miles from Magnolia Table makes it a reasonable option for the actual hardest part: getting a table. Walk-ins or short waits are possible on weekday mornings before 9 a.m. — easier when the restaurant is 6 minutes from your front door versus a 30-minute drive from another part of town. The Magnolia Table neighborhood also includes the Valley Mills retail corridor (Target, HEB Plus!, Best Buy) which makes a single trip useful for errands plus food.
