And my husband's pork chop was amazing as well .. huge portions!For the appetizer we had the small charcuterie board the presentation of it was beautiful. It was so good.

OH MY WORD! When you pour the crumbs into the to go container along with the remaining bite, you know the food was AMAZING! My mom, sister and I were visiting Waco and hoping to find a good spot to celebrate my mother's birthday. We were so happy to find Oak & Ivy!! Its about a 15 min drive from the touristy stuff downtown but worth EVERY SECOND of the drive! If I could pick up this restaurant and move it to where I live, I would!!! Their cornbread is the most delicious I've ever tasted and best of all, it's GLUTEN FREE!!! They also had gluten free empanadas!!!! So incredibly delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed each of our dishes and had enough for leftovers the next night! Highly recommend!!!!

Our dinner date Saturday evening was at the Oak and Ivy Wine Bar Bistro owned by Joshua Sims.This was an incredible experience! I had the Ahi Tuna and Denise had the Spaghetti Squash in a crème roasted garlic sauce with a tenderloin. It was prepared perfectly and was absolutely delicious!What really made our dinner stand out, however, was the exceptional service we received throughout the night. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, making recommendations and offering suggestions whenever needed.Overall, if you ever find yourself in Waco, Texas, do not miss the opportunity to dine at this restaurant!

We were here from out of state (Wisconsin) and we happened to come across this gem! Everything from the decor, music, food, wine, and service were fantastic! Highly recommend! If we lived here, I am positive Oak and Ivy would be a repeat destination for us. We had the bacon wrapped quail and fried chicken.
The owner Josh and his team are always friendly and attentive when I come by. The food is excellent and Oak and Ivy has replaced another establishment as my go to spot. If you haven't been you need to try it
We had better option of food on our last visit, but was still a good dining experience. Pancakes sold out on our trip here this time.

Who knew Oak and Ivy had brunch! What a great place for brunch! We visited with a large group. Everyone ordered something different and we all shared. Great variety for breakfast. Shrimp and grits were very tasty. Shareable Cinnamon rolls. Food came quickly and portions were generous. Pancakes were huge! Great conversations with owner. We didn't partake but nice bar selections also.

I LOVE this restaurant! The food is absolutely AMAZING! GREAT atmosphere! The service is over the top FABULOUS! Great selection of wines. Owner is just SO nice! Will go every time I’m in Waco!Dietary restrictions: The have gluten free dishes.
Really wanted to like the food, but it just wasn't there. The burger looked sad and tasted salty fries overly salted as well. The empanadas had a heavy grease taste.I'm marking this one down as a try it once kinda place.

I loved the food and I know this isn't their fault but a guy in a cowboy hat would not take his mean eyes off of me. Every time I looked his way (all quick like, not to draw attention), he was dead eyeing me. Well, anyways, the food was good.
