The service was great and the food was good. There is street parking around here that is usually available. The restaurant will get busy quickly which gives you time to shop in the store. The food was good and we all found something to eat. The menu is not large and if you have picky eaters check the menu before you go.

Everything I've eaten here has been amazing! I really like their Cob Salad, and desserts are a must. I can't forget to mention the orange spiced tea, super good!

This is my favorite restaurant in Waxahachie! The owners are super nice! The service was wonderful! All the servers are respectful! After coming here my whole life and reading the negative reviews I can tell those people have never been there! I love it! I get the veggie pita with grilled chicken and it is to die for! It’s so refreshing and healthy! They use all fresh tasting ingredients!! I highly recommend stopping by for the food and shopping!!

We visited for lunch on 2/22/24 at 12:43pm. Below is what we ate and a rating from 1-10-salad medley- 7. Chicken salad was a little dry, fruit was very basic grapes and a small slice of cantaloupe with rind attached-spinach salad, add salmon- 7. Spinach was whole, large and had stems attached, making it a little tough to eat. Salmon was fishier than I prefer but it was still good, orange curry dressing was surprisingly good.-deviled eggs- 9-forgot the name our server but she was great.-the place is cute, you have to walk through the gift shop in order to eat here- smart. I didn’t buy anything but saw a few items I liked. When we arrived, we were told it was a 20 minute wait., so we made a quick restroom stop there in the gift shop. As we both emerged from the restroom no more than 3 minutes later- a young lady was yelling, our name out repeatedly… And loud, this was a little embarrassing, and did not start our experience off very well.-Piece of feedback I have this: more and more we are driven to a cashless society, almost no one takes cash anymore-but this place offers a “cash discount”.. but don’t be fooled by that, it is an up charge for using a card. This seems like a low class money grab, just price your items for everyone regardless of their form of payment. People should not be charged for using a card in this day and age.The place is certainly cute and quaint and if we are in Waxahachie again, anytime soon, we may stop by again

This is just the CUTEST little spot to get a sandwich in waxahachie. You can tell the menu is totally Chef driven. The service is great, food is delicious and they have the sweetest little (huge) boutique.

I had chicken Greek salad. The chicken was very good. However, it was mostly just chicken and lettuce, lacking the other ingredients that actually make it a Greek salad. I will say it was a cute restaurant and the store connected to it had a lot of cute items.
Loved everything about this place! Best part was our waitress Rebeca! She made the experience perfect.

I can't recommend Dove's Nest more highly!! We had my son's rehearsal dinner there and Cindy and her staff did a fantastic job! The food was delicious and the ambience was cozy and warm! Our guests had such a memorable time! 5 stars!!!

The BLT wasn't all that to me, I did eat a piece of my brother's burger and that was pretty good. Not a place I'd go to by choice. Just personal preference. It's got a Cracker Barrel feel to it.

Every time we're in Waxahachie Texas, we always try to come to the Doves Nest in the Town Square. It has an amazing store with very cool and eclectic items with a restaurant on the side. Their food is fresh and quite good, no matter what you choose. It is a bit loud because it's an older building with poor acoustics, but the older building adds to the whole ambience of the restaurant. Their specialty tea is an iced orange spice tea that we really enjoy and the desserts and coffee are to die for even if you just came for that you would be pleased.
The service was great and the food was good. There is street parking around here that is usually available. The restaurant will get busy quickly which gives you time to shop in the store.
