Nice brunch spot. Service was great, food was incredible, and out water cups were always full. One thing is they don't do to-go orders on Sunday. Not a big issue. Fresh flowers on all the tables was a nice touch.

The food was just okay. I ordered the chicken biscuit and my husband ordered the brisket burrito. The biscuit and egg on the chicken biscuit were good but the chicken tasted off. The brisket was a bit dry and chewy. Our server was very friendly and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxing. Parking can be hard to find during peak busy hours.

Our dinner was amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would. They knocked the scallop risotto out of the park! And We are from Seattle so we get seafood regularly. The service was superb! We can’t wait to come back to the Olive Branch. Thank you to the whole team.

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!
