If I could give 10 stars, I would.
We literally drove from Houston to Waco ONLY to come to have dinner at this restaurant. After visiting so many top tier places, no one can actually come close to this place.
The food is just amazingly good. Anything you order on the menu will be rich in flavor and to die for. From the most simplest dish, a wedge salad to the Ribeye, trout, spinach dip…. The desserts ? Omg, you just have blackberry cobbler.
The service is LEGITIMATELY so good, they are all so true to themselves on the way they treat their clientele, so honest, nothing of that BS you see on any other places with fake speeches.
We have been coming here for 5 years or more so far, and we will always hit Waco to visit homestead.
Thank you so much for everything

Well that was quite the incredible accidental discovery. On our autumn road trip getaway to San Antonio, we were looking for lunch outside Waco. My wife ran a Google search for “restaurants near me” and in the top of the list was Homestead Cafe. We were on I35 so it wasn’t exactly “near” but the drive through the country was worth a few miles. The cafe is the heart of a beautiful craft community. The staff was wonderful. The atmosphere is warm and rustic. My wife enjoyed the wagu burger and my the wagu brisket tacos we among the best I have ever savored. Best of all, a classic car rally had made a stop here. Wow!

We have been going to Cafe Homestead for several years, and they always provide excellent customer service. The food is exceptional… the Valentine’s Day dinner was delicious. 100% recommended.

One of our favorite spots in the Waco area! Café Homestead never disappoints—the food is always fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared in-house using organic ingredients. You can truly taste the quality and care in every dish. The staff is consistently kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. A must-visit when you’re nearby!

I finally made my way to Cafe Homestead and it was a true delight. My waiter, Brandon, was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu items to select for me a good choice.
I chose the Sriacha burger, fries and the corn fritters with a Lemonade Peach tea. The food was absolutely delicious.
The inside of the restaurant is warm and welcoming and not at all noisy. So my dining experience was quite enjoyable, up until a young lady came over and begin spraying some sort of cleaning agent to prepare the tables for the next guest. I’ve come to notice this trend being practiced at several mainstream restaurants and for me personally, it is annoying to be subjected to smelling chemicals and spray being aerialized around guests who are eating. This is why I lowered my rating from 5 to a 4 star because of this annoying trend.
Would I recommend this restaurant, yes. Would I return for the good food, yes. But I hope that management after reading this review will be mindful to their cleaning practices around its paying guest because I do not care to see chemicals being sprayed around while I’m trying to enjoy my meal.

We happened upon this village while on a road trip. Super fun leg stretch break.
Cafe is VERY clean, noise was minimal and the food was delicious.
Only downside is the kitchen is very very slow. You can’t be on a timeline if you want to grab a bite to eat here.

Gem of a place. The food was delicious. Their buttermilk biscuits are the best I’ve ever had…even more than those at Magnolia Table. The staff is so friendly. Their little store in the main entrance area is FUN, but if you schedule your time there right, you can visit and enjoy all the Homestead village shops and atmosphere. Worth the time. I recommend a reservation.
