About the Business
History
Established in 2018.
The Elite has been a part of Waco for 100 years. The original menu featured a diner-style menu, and the restaurant was the first place in Waco to install "refrigerated air," which people waited for hours just to experience. The original location became so popular that the owners opened this second location on the Waco Traffic Circle in 1941. It's rumored that Elvis Presley shared a meal with friends here on his way to Fort Hood. After the infamous F5 tornado of 1953, the original location closed its doors, and after a long series of renovations and ownership changes, the Elite closed in 2016. Knowing the Elite's rich history, Chip and Joanna were hopeful that this Waco icon wasn't quite finished feeding both locals and visitors. When they purchased the building and began its renovation, their first priority was to preserve its history, while also giving it a fresh start. The renovation and menu took about one year to complete, and the whole process was featured on Fixer Upper.
