There's just something about a meal made from scratch.
There are no words to describe how fantastic this place is. If you haven't made the drive out here for the best lunch in Waco, be very sad for yourself. Scratched bread and pies, fresh cheese, fresh ice-cream.... I'm making myself want to get in the car and drive out there right now. Friendly service and food better than your grandmother could make. Seriously, go eat here.
I submit there is nothing, NOTHING better than waking up on a Saturday, rolling out to Meonnonite land, and having a Mediterranean chicken sandwich with (sweet potato) fries and a raspberry lemonade whilst gawking at the variety of skirts/up-do's that you never even knew existed. Then, to top it off, there are normally a variety of pies/cookies for you to pick at when you are finished (all, of course, while exclaiming that you can't eat another bite as you stuff a piece of tiramisu in your pie hole).
It's very family friendly--you can go make a coaster at the weaving/yarn house, and you can look at pottery and other goodies in the barn.
On a more serious note, they are some of the nicest people ever out there. You've gotta go make friends. Right now.
I don't think you can go wrong eating here.
What can I say too? I agree with the previous review. Fresh, Tasty, De-lish.
Not fast food. But a great deli for a relaxing lunch with friends or family.
Homestead is my favorite place to eat in the Waco area. The food is fresh, local, and seasonal. Plus, the meat is grass-fed and organic! I always bring out-of-town guests here and no one is ever disappointed. They have the best homemade ice cream, desserts, bread, and cheese. The people are nice and the scenery is beautiful. It is a breath of fresh air in Waco!
