Before I begin, YOU MUST/HAVE TO BE SERVED BY ISAIAH!!! Absolutely phenomenal and flawless service. All his recommendations on food was batting 1000, he is a bartender and made our drinks personally - ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL FLAVOR & QUALITY! He made sure to make my mother's birthday special, but I know that he is sincerely just a EXPONENTIALLY EXCEPTIONAL PERSON and truly treats everyone like family. Shoot - he even gave us a tour after our meal! Food THE FLAVOR IS TO DIE FOR!!! Everything had a phenomenal flavor profile, as well as the portion sizes were great (with the exception of the Lobster Tail entree - which still had phenomenal flavor). We splurged and were happy we did. My mouth is watering just thinking about the food and explaining the flavor. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the fish was of high quality. You definitely get what you pay for. Price It is expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. Everything was of perfect quality and taste. Again, you'll pay some money but IT IS WORTH IT. Customer Service Again, Isaiah is one of the best servers I have ever experienced being waited on by. I am one of the top 10% reviewers on google for restaurants and event outings - so that is saying A LOT!! Also, I want to shout out Nora - gracias para toda. Ella es la luz del mundo. Ella limpia nuestra mesa y estamos agradecidos. You are truly blessed if you have the honor to meet both Isaiah and Nora. Adult Beverages Higher priced ($16-$30) depending on purchase. AGAIN, Isaiah is sincerely one of the best bartenders I have ever had. The experience, the taste, and the presentation was perfect. Not over the top, but definitely higher quality. Venue This place serves dinner, has a cigar lounge, and a hidden speakeasy. Great place to meet people or just vibe out with grown adults. They also have live music in the speakeasy so that's real relaxing and again just a grown vibe. Rough age range is probably 30-55+ in the speakeasy and cigar lounge.

We loved John's Place!! We had a group of 5 for lunch and they were so accommodating. The service was outstanding. All of the staff were so kind. And the food was OUTSTANDING! We were all raving about our dishes. The food is all scratch made and you can tell they put so much love into everything. The desserts were divine as well. You must try the tiramisu. It was so so good! It's inside a historic hotel so we even got to hear about a few of the ghost tenants. All in all it was a 100/10 experience and we already want to plan a weekend trip to Waxahachie again - and if we do - John's Place will be a stop for sure!

Everything about our experience at Magnolia Table was outstanding! From arriving from flight an hour earlier for 2:00 reservation & they seated us before 2:00! Chickens salad, tenders, & apple pie were all fantastically delicious. All the staff were kind, friendly, and attentive! 5/5 stars

Meehan’s is a fantastic place for a business lunch or just an enjoyable lunch with friends. The food is consistently excellent, and the staff is truly top-notch. They have a wonderful sense of when to approach the table and when to give you space for conversation, which makes it especially well-suited for business meetings. The atmosphere is quiet, warm, and classy, making it easy to have a conversation without feeling rushed or distracted. I highly recommend Meehan’s for lunch, whether you’re there for business or pleasure!

We recently chose The Emory Bar & Kitchen for a date night and were thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere is fantastic, especially with the live music, though we would suggest keeping the volume just a little lower to make conversation easier. The service was excellent; our server was attentive, helpful with menu recommendations, and very quick to resolve an issue when my husband’s steak was overcooked. My roasted chicken was delicious, and the pecan turtle cheesecake was the perfect end to our meal. Even with a slight wait for the check, the overall experience was great, and we will definitely be back!
