Top 5 Favorite Restaurants in Waco

Cafe Homestead – Cafe Homestead serves fresh, natural food true to its setting at Homestead Heritage, a traditional farming community. Pasture-raised beef, fresh breads, award-winning local cheese, and house-made sauces and condiments; these are a few of the things that help make Cafe Homestead one of Waco’s most-loved restaurants since 1994. While visiting the Cafe, tour the farm and gardens and the working craft shops. Enjoy a hayride to a scenic vista overlooking the Brazos River.

Magnolia Table – The Elite has been a part of Waco for 100 years. The original menu featured a diner-style menu, and the restaurant was the first place in Waco to install “refrigerated air,” which people waited for hours just to experience. The original location became so popular that the owners opened this second location on the Waco Traffic Circle in 1941. It’s rumored that Elvis Presley shared a meal with friends here on his way to Fort Hood. After the infamous F5 tornado of 1953, the original location closed its doors, and after a long series of renovations and ownership changes, the Elite closed in 2016. Knowing the Elite’s rich history, Chip and Joanna were hopeful that this Waco icon wasn’t quite finished feeding both locals and visitors. When they purchased the building and began its renovation, their first priority was to preserve its history, while also giving it a fresh start. The renovation and menu took about one year to complete, and the whole process was featured on Fixer Upper.

Milo All Day – At Milo All Day fresh means seasonal. So our menus evolve throughout the year, ensuring simplicity and farm-to-table quality whether it’s January or July. But, like our golden, butter-rich biscuits that started it all, some things never change. We believe in homemade—from our jams, savory sauces and slaws, to our smoked Gouda grits and Nashville-inspired hot chicken. Brunch to dinner, our food combines time-honored traditions with big flavors to create a memorable dining experience unlike any other in Waco. 

Di Campli’s Italian Ristorante – At Di Campli’s Italian Ristorante, we are committed toproviding an Authentic Italian Experience through exceptional service, delicious food, and a family environment. We want our guests to create memories that they will want toshare with their family and friends.
