Joanna Gaines's famed biscuits, brunch, lunch, and dinner
"Magnolia Table, now a longtime destination of tourists on the Fixer Upper circuit, has recently added dinner service. The new menu is made up of dishes from Joanna Gaines’ three cookbooks and includes dishes such as sausage-stuffed mushrooms, orange-glazed salmon with balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts, and a bavette steak frites made with 44 Farms beef and topped with chimichurri. The inside is exactly what one expects: industrial farmhouse done in pure Gaines style. The restaurant added lunch to its menu in February 2025, expanding the hours at this popular spot." - Amy McCarthy
"Also operated by Chip and Joanna Gaines, this breakfast-and-lunch restaurant is a must for shiplap obsessives. Order Joanna’s famed buttermilk biscuits or caramel cornflake french toast in the morning, or try the burger made with Texas’s own 44 Farms beef for lunch. Note: there will be a wait, so this isn’t a stop for anyone in a hurry." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy
"Reality TV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines went from fixing up old houses to running a massive lifestyle brand that includes perennially packed Waco restaurant Magnolia Table." - Adele Chapin
"The Gaines family’s Waco-based restaurant/cookbook brand emphasizes comforting, accessible home cooking presented with strong lifestyle and aesthetic framing. One cookbook volume mixes personal anecdotes and polished photos with straightforward, forgiving recipes — notably a layered peanut-butter-and-chocolate brownie called 'Lucy’s Peanut Butter Brownies' that Gaines credits to a friend — prioritizing nostalgia, ease, and vibe over technical pastry perfection." - Bobby Finger
"Called Magnolia Table, the new show shares its name with Gaines's beloved Waco restaurant, and her best-selling cookbook. The show was announced back in December, and will feature Gaines teaching her shiplap-obsessed fans how to make Magnolia Table's famed biscuits, along with more personal recipes like her family's fatayar, or Lebanese meat pies." - Amy McCarthy
