- WWesleyVIPCalifornia Central Coast •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe once again had a great experience at Whiskey Cake. I truly appreciate their attention to spirit-free drinks and the nice variety that they have. Victoria was very kind as our server. We were also impressed with the speed in which our food came to our table based on how busy the restaurant was. We will be back!More infoWhiskey Cake - Round RockPrice: Moderate• Farm-to-table• Round Rock•4.8
- LLaurenCentral Texas •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI am a Magnolia fan from IN who always wanted to come to my seat at the table and it did not disappoint! I enjoyed the avocado toast with the green goddess smear, different than any other venue, and my scrambled egg was light and creamy! Hubby had biscuits and sausage gravy with some added patties, was a very generous serving and delicious. Only complaint was that the small skillet they were served in was just a tad too small to manage with out spill over. The coffee hot and strong. The service great with approximately spaced check ins. Five star for me!More infoMagnolia TablePrice: Moderate• American• Waco•4.7

- MmaryCentral Texas •1 review4.0Dined on 6 Oct 2024Don’t bother making a reservation. We showed up 15 min before our time, and were told 10-20 min, but we’re seated until 20 min after our reservation time. This impacted the timeline of the rest of our evening.More infoBJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - TemplePrice: Moderate• American• Temple•4.5
