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.
