    One word. FANTASTIC! Food, service, atmosphere, staff. I'm not sure when I last had a burger this good! Atmosphere is a clean urban renewal look. Lemon berry mousse is light and refreshing. Menu is innovative. A clean, friendly, great atmosphere eatery that serves high quality food that doesn't leave you feeling greasy and bloated. But full and satisfied. Your staff are the best. I would give 6 stars if possible as you have gone above and beyond. Oh. Forgot that the food came out to table quickly too!! Back in town and had to visit. Same fantastic everything. Loved it.

    We had a great meal. The atmosphere was nice. I had the chicken pestoment and my husband had the 8th day sandwich. Both were great. We would be back. I think I will try a burger next time. The service was top notch. Drinks stayed full and tables were quickly cleaned.

    One of the best portobello burgers we’ve ever had, hands down! Great beer on tap. My 10 year old’s review “best burger I’ve ever, ever had in my whole 10 years of life!” My other kids had the grilled cheese and couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was. This food is good for the soul, and Revival Estate Eatery brought all the goodness.

    Love that the menu (and name of the restaurant) plays into the history of the building (used to be a church). Many of the menu items are named after things from the Bible, which is fun. It wasn't busy; there were plenty of open tables. Service was great and prices were good. Food was good.

    Stopped by for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. The have beers & wine as well as many sandwiches, salads and burger choices. There is plenty seating both indoors and out on the patio. We tried the goat cheese burger and the steak sandwich. Service was prompt and friendly as well. 😀

    A wonderful cafe. All of their sandwiches are so delicious! The service was also very fast. Went with a small group at lunch rush time (most tables were full) and they got our food out very fast. All the food tasted very good and there were no issues.

    Excellent Burger I had the Elijah and sweet potato fries. Server was very friendly and accommodating to our request. I did not have to wait long for my food. We got water immediately upon being seated, and our server has opened the door for us. The place was about 80 percent full.

    Revival Eastside Eatery was great. A big group of friends stayed in Waco for Waco Surf and this restaurant was obviously highly rated and lots of reviews. We gave it a shot on day one and ate there for all three days. It did not disappoint and was much better than some of the other restaurants we went to that were similarly rated but had fewer reviews. Their Caeser salad was really good, and so we're their sandwiches. Golden Calf (burger) is their #1, The Prodigal is their #2 (sandwich), 8th Day is #3 (sandwich). I had the 8th Day twice and the Rachel once and liked them both a lot. Definitely eat here. So good. You won't regret it.

    Everything at Revival Eatery was excellent, the food, service, staff, and craft beer selection all exceeded our already high expectations. The burgers, salads, sandwiches, and sides were delicious, very reasonably priced, and huge. You could easily split a meal and leave satisfied. The pesto aioli is delicious and addictive, we ordered extra to dip the fries and delicious sweet potato fries. I had family visiting from out of town and they all thoroughly enjoyed their meal and drinks. I live here and will definitely be returning.

    Stopped here for a quick bite at lunch and really enjoyed it. Fresh food, and great atmosphere. Do give a coconut mousse a try, it’s quite delicious!

    Really nice, relaxing place with excellent food & service. Laid back atmosphere. Everything is top quality & primarily local sourced in Texas. Staff is friendly & attentive. You don’t have one person taking care of you as anyone who sees you need anything takes care of it. Definitely worth the stop even zigzagging thru construction.

  • 3/5 Austin B. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is always good, although the portions can be somewhat small. The burgers are usually medium small burger patties with lots of bun. Their atmosphere is lively and enjoyable, but can be loud. The prices are pretty high though. It cost me and my wife and toddler almost $60 to eat dinner here.

  • 5/5 elizabeth c. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was good. Portions were reasonable. I wish they would have asked how I wanted my burger cooked as it was served well done and I would have preferred medium well. Flavor was good for everything I tried (salad, fries, burger). Beer on tap was good. They did not have any soup available which was half the reason I chose this restaurant and they were out when we came by. They should offer paper receipts as it's a security risk to provide my email and phone number just to get an itemized receipt.

    Good atmosphere, friendly service and the tast of the food is great. But the portion of the food has decreased significantly over the years while the price seems to have increased a little bit. The size of a full sandwich is literally the half of the sandwich that you might get at Panera bread. Paid for a full meal, but left with half empty stomach. But I would still go there and eat (if I am not starving), because the food tastes quite good!

    Met up for an interview meeting here. The food was very good, pricing was fair, and service was on point! I like how the menu has references to biblical scripture and ironically I tried the Old Pestoment. This place helped make our meeting very enjoyable!

  • 5/5 Diego R. 11 months ago on Google
    I have lived in Waco for 5 years now and have been to a good amount of restaurants old and new. Revival seriously surpassed my expectations. I got their sandwich special and it satisfied the craving for an exceptional sandwich. Water tasted fresh, food came out perfect, staff is proud of their work and friendly. A high recommendation on places to eat in Waco! (Make sure to get some extra aioli on the side for dipping your fries)

  • 3/5 Earlene H. 10 months ago on Google
    Unique eatery with VERY cute menu. We traveled from Austin to have Lucy with our kids. Food was mid (mediocre)… We were a party of four. Two of which arrived a bit later. Service started fine but ended on a rude note. Waiter kept asking for the order before they could look over the menu. Then the moment we finished, we were asked to pay… very abruptly. The restaurant wasn’t full nor was it near closing time. My family and I will not return nor recommend.

    THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! This is in an old church in the up and coming East side of Waco that's growing like crazy. They kept the wooden beams on the high ceiling, and many other features & character of the building. DELICIOUS sandwiches & burgers that my friend & I had. They're all very unique with cool names. Super friendly staff. We sat at the bar because clearly this place is not a secret. It was packed. When we left there was a line out the door. Trust me it's worth it if you end up in line!!!!

  • 5/5 William M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is in a gorgeous setting and has the nicest employees. There were basically a million people there and we were sat almost immediately. The sandwiches are divine, the sweet potato fries are crispy and just as good. My girlfriend was in love with this place also. They did a fantastic job and I recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you!

    Fantastic eatery! Nice restaurant that a bit more upscale than a lot of establishments around Waco but in no way pretentious. Service was friendly and attentive while the food was very fresh and tasty. Absolutely enjoyed our lunch here.

  • 5/5 CM L. 1 year ago on Google
    We were visiting from out of town and this place was recommended. Very cool place with a relaxed atmosphere. The menu keeps the church theme and is Bible inspired. The staff was so nice and very attentive. I would definitely eat here again.

  • 5/5 Melissa W. 2 years ago on Google
    Super awesome spot with great eats, quick service and kind staff. I love the outdoor seating when we bring our dog. They also offer indoor seating and a large beverage selection. We enjoy lunch, and dinner here. Parking is easy too! The staff and owner are so sweet - shout-out Danielle! Be sure to try their desserts!
