Magnolia Table, flagship restaurant of lifestyle brand Magnolia, founded by TV personalities Chip and Joanna Gaines, is set to introduce dinner service from 20 September 2024.  

Based in Waco, in the US state of Texas, the eatery is known for its brunch and lunch menus.  

It will now serve guests dinner options from shareables and mains to desserts. 

The dinner menu at Magnolia Table will feature 30 dishes, each inspired by recipes from Joanna’s cookbook. 

The dishes have personal significance to Joanna as they are based on her memories and stories and have been included in her first three cookbooks. 

Magnolia chief food and beverage officer Becki Goss-Shepherd said: “Offering dinner at Magnolia Table has been a natural extension for the restaurant with who we are and what we value.

The dishes will also highlight seasonal ingredients and will be accompanied by a curated selection of fine wines and signature cocktails.  

Magnolia Table’s history dates back to the Elite Café, a diner in Waco that first opened its doors in 1919.  

After surviving a tornado in 1953, multiple renovations and ownership changes, the Elite Café was eventually closed.  

Chip and Joanna Gaines, recognising its historical significance, decided to give the eatery a new lease on life. 

The couple purchased the building and carried out renovations, preserving the history of the location while introducing new elements.  

They reopened as Magnolia Table in 2018 and have since been serving locals and visitors alike as a sit-down restaurant.
