The Olive Branch - Waco (TX)

3 /5 big macc4x4: Customer service was great but the food was just okay. We really enjoyed the biscuits and variety of fruit spreads they provided, however the main dishes that we chose were not impressive.

3 /5 Ailaina Mathews: We went for the first time on Mothers Day. Plenty of parking, and it looked great. Lots of seating as you wait for your table. We were told 45 minutes for the wait, which was fine for that day. We were seated within 30 minutes. I will say they have a poor choice in chairs, very uncomfortable. Our waiter did a poor job, we were pretty sure he was new, so we werent too upset. The food, however, was delicious. My husband had the brisket bowl (I cant remember the name) and I had the shrimp and grits. I was getting lots of gumbo vibes from the grits but the sausage was sweeter than I was expecting. We definitely plan on coming back!

5 /5 Lisa Lisa: Never been here before but heard good things. First of all I was greeted at the door with a smile which is rare these days. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Quick service too. My server Tori was awesome in recommending food and very knowledgeable about the dishes. One of the owners asked of if I was being cared for, she was also sweet. Food was definitely delicious and it was plentiful. I ordered the steak and eggs with potatoes. The chimichurri sauce was a perfect addition. Steak chunks were tender!

5 /5 katie vz: friendly service and delicious food today! i had the brisket skillet (pictured) and my husband had the shrimp and grits which he really enjoyed. wait time can tend to be longish but so worth it - it’s likely because people know this is one of the best places in waco to eat! we will be back again!

5 /5 Cathleen Smith: I can not say enough about this place. My honey and I have been once so far. We will be back however we live so far away. The gentleman that served us was very personable and had some amazing suggestions. The fried Brussel sprouts were absolutely amazing and very plentiful. I had the buttered chicken, I think thats what its called, very delicious. My honey had a riblett style pasta dish. He is still talking about. We however did not explore the adult beverages due to the drive home. Must be responsible.. If ever in the area u must stop in even if its just for a refresher and appetizer size bite. U will not regret it... I promise
