The Dove's Nest Restaurant is a tranquil place with a warm ochre wash on walls punctuated by garden scenes of idealized topiary trees, crowned with an old-fashioned tin ceiling and classic black and white squares on the floor. Almost every table was filled when we were led to our seats. Massive hutches held multicolored ceramics, while a rustic looking terra cotta piece surrounded by dried flowers and vines made a nice showing at the front windows. Our waitress suggested ordering the Texas Salad Medley, which included two choices of salad, fresh fruit and muffin for $7.95. Ummm, it was very good! Other luncheon entrees were smoked turkey and red grape salad ($7.95), Texas Caesar salad with chicken ($7.95), chicken apricot salad ($7.50) and Southwest turkey sandwich ($7.00) just to name a few. We shared the chocolate bourbon pecan pie with vanilla ice cream--believe me, this was spectacular! If you are taking a road trip and find yourself near Waxahachie, be sure to stop at the Dove's Nest restaurant and do some additional looking around at the gift/antique shop next door.

| | | | 1879 Chisholm Grill: Hearty Home Cooking | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
The 1879 Chisholm Grill was recommended to us by a cashier at one of the shops fronting the courthouse square. She said, "For a homecooked meal, go there!" So we did. We hadn't eaten lunch, so we stopped by for an early dinner. It was an ideal choice, because by the time we left the restaurant a line had formed outside. Inside, we found a warm and cozy atmosphere (picture #3)with intimate size seating and picture covered walls. Jim thought the fried onions would be a great start to our meal, especially since the menu claimed they were the best anywhere...which they were! A huge plate was set before us and we tucked into them. They were fried in a batter that was tantalizingly flavorful (picture #2). A homemade loaf of warm bread was placed before us...ummm. My husband and I both ordered a Grilled Chicken Salad, which was lightly drizzled with an oil and vinegar dressing. Other items on the menu were: Fried Catfish with two side dishes ($7.99) Jumbo Butterfly Shrimp ($10.99) Chicken Fried Steak ($10.99) Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad ($7.49) plus many other entrees Desserts featured were Coconut Meringue Pie ($2.99) and Peach Cobber ($3.49) just to name a couple. Judging from its popularity, I think many people would recommend eating at Chishom Grill.

| | | | Fivetwelve College Tea House: Tea and Candlelit Dinners | Tip Rating: | | | | |
As we drove up and down the streets of Waxahachie's residential area, we came to this pretty pink house called the Fivetwelve College Tea House. We had picked up flyers advertising afternoon tea every Saturday from 3:30-5:30p.m., but knew we didn't have the time to dine here this visit. Still, the information is good to have and I want to pass it on. The tea house offers three courses, which includes finger sandwiches, scones and desserts, as well as, a nice selection of teas for $12.00 per person. ** Please note that this is "not a function for small children". The candlelight dinner menu listed three entrees: baked bass or tilapia with salsa ($10); baked stuffed pork chops ($10); King Ranch casserole ($8); and ham, spinach and mushroom crepes ($7.50). All are served with rice pilaf, long green beans and carrot curls. Desserts such as baked apples with cream, baked custard with strawberry glaze, bread pudding with brandy butter sauce or banana with dulce de leche can be ordered at $5 each. It might be helpful to know that it has a "byob" set up.
We did not have the time to dine here, but teas are always something I enjoy! Theme: OtherPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 512 N. College St., Waxahachie, TxPhone: 972-935-9188
