For years, the King and Queen of Waco, Texas, Chip and Joanna Gaines, have reigned over their country chic realm named Magnolia.

As you may know, the couple is hosting a popular HGTV show called Fixer Upper, which explains the troves of people making the pilgrimage to all the fun at Magnolia every year.

If you're lucky, you can sometimes catch the duo hanging around the Silos snapping pictures with fans. However, you might see less of them these days as they just launched their new TV network Magnolia Network.

If you ever pay them a visit, here are the best things to do at Magnolia in Waco, Texas, according to a local who tried them all.

Magnolia Table

Address: 2132 S. Valley Mills Dr., Waco, TX

Why You Need To Go: The sign of a true Texas restaurant is a sizeable biscuit on the menu, and these ones are HUGE. They are served with a choice of sausage gravy or sweet strawberry butter.

Katy Ball Park At The Silos

Address: S 7th St. & Jackson Ave., Waco, TX

Why You Need To Go: This old Wiffleball field was bought by the Gaines in 2020 and is a nice hangout spot. This may be for those a little less interested in the hullabaloo around Chip, Jo, and Magnolia.
