“ The food is excellent and the staff is very good and makes sure you have everything you need. I couldn't believe how the price point was so reasonable considering the quality of the food, cleanliness, and staff work ethic. Just revisited last week, and as usual, everything was perfectly delicious. P.S. the beautiful young employee who married my son is also a dedicated person as well as a great daughter-in-law... I rate this a FIVE STAR because of the food quality, flavor, and the super friendly service! Not because of family... ”
“ Stumbled upon this place while visiting Waco for the day. It was away from the popular market area, but worth the short drive. Service was amazing from the time we walked in, during the meal, and even on the way out. Server was very helpful in giving some recommendations. Everything on the menu sounded good. Ordered a burger, salad, and sweet potato fries. Food was just as good as the service. Burger was perfectly put together and plated. Bun was very soft and fresh. I definitely have to come back to try some of the other burgers, sandwiches, and salads. ”
“ Well, here is another restaurant we have driven by many times and never stopped treating. It was a few and far between ability to have lunch together on a workday. We were actually headed to Hotel 1928 to have lunch. As we turned on to Elm Street off of Business 77 (Jasper's BBQ). We both said at the same time, "Let's eat at Revival." After several years of being open, my expectations were high. So we have seen the outside for years, and it's awesome. As we stepped into the restaurant, you can't help but notice how open and clean it is. As my wife said, "it's so cute." I will say I didn't like the chair. It had an awkward fit with the "hips." Since this was our 1st time. Our waiter was patience with us, and he explained the top 4 picks. They gave us ample time for us to pick or order. My wife had the Golden Calf burger with sweet potato fries and I had to build your burger. As seen in the photo, the burger came out stacked high. My wife cut her burger in half. I chose the old man way, I grabbed my burger by 2 hand and forced it into my mouth. It tasted so fresh, better homemade. Everything tasted as they just picked the vegetables, ground the meat, and made your bread. When they say "we source our ingredients locally," it taste that way. See ya soon on the road! ”
“ My son and I came here for lunch June 19th. Most of the seating was taken but we sat on the huge bar facing out the window. It was our first time here and was very pleasant. Fast service welcomed us, got our drinks and food. Food and pricing were great. This is a great spot and well worth eating here. ”
“ Excellent food and great service! (for those with a short attention span) Visiting Waco for the first time from out of state; it is always a challenge to find good non-franchise restaurants to try out. The Revival Eastside Eatery did not disappoint. It is a very nicely renovated building with a casual country atmosphere inside and out. The ladies that run the place are very friendly and attentive and they greet everyone with a warm smile. I ordered the Creator burger and added the garden to it; with a side of fries. It was a very good burger! Seasoned well, the toppings were fresh and allegedly locally grown (they definitely tasted farm fresh). The fries are the skin on natural cut fries and they were very good (they have a nice spicy aioli that I highly recommend because Ketchup sucks). There's local craft beer on tap if that is your thing, as well as iced tea, coffee, and others I'm sure (their water was ice cold and tasted good). If you are in the area or even if you aren't in the area, this little place is worth the drive! Go check them out! ”
“ My husband and I were only in town for a few days, and the food was so good we revisited. PLT was excellent! The lemon aioli really makes this sandwich great. They try to locally source what they can from our great state , and the beers also very good. Staff very knowledgeable. Also, you can visit the bakery they also run for your breakfast, which is a short walk up the street. Can’t wait to have it again! ”
“ Great food! Great service! I think there are excellent choices of sandwiches, and ways to customize your burger! I do wish they had a few more vegan choices! But I did have the Technicolor Dreamcoat sandwich which was superb! And easily veganised. Everything was very tasty! They need a bigger place! ”
“ My son took me on our daytrip. Great burgers and fries!!! Best gluten-free bun I've eaten! Staff was super friendly! Will definitely return. ”
