This cafeteria-style eatery was MUCH more than I had expected! Everything is made from scratch and is absolutely DEEEEELISH!! I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw the plethora of choices of good ol' southern food I had to choose from. Some things I hadn't had since I was a child, some things I had never had before and then there were the favorites. I was so excited to sit down and enjoy the crispiest fried catfish I had ever had. The staff? Forget it! The friendliest people in the restaurant business, hands down. And when you walk in and say you are a first timer, they are so incredibly gracious and are eager to walk you through how to get your food. I just KNEW my eyes were bigger than my stomach. The string beans and cabbage were fresh and seasoned perfectly. In fact, everything was. You've just got to come and try it for yourself.

This restaurant does not disappoint!!! The food was amazing!! There is so much to choose from, and everything is delicious! My husband was delighted to find that they served homemade baked banana pudding!! He probably would have gotten seconds if time allowed!! From the time we entered to when we left, the staff was most helpful!!! I look forward to visiting again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for wonderful southern down home cooking!

Oh my goodness I can't wait to go back and I just left 😆! The absolute best catfish I've eaten loved the batter on it. My sides were cabbage and squash casserole both were outstanding! So was the egg custard pie and even the deviled egg and Mexican cornbread were exceptional. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were masked and so kind and helpful! I have enough leftovers for dinner. Highly recommend!!

The Magnolia room was phenomenal. My mother & I sat down for country fried streak, mashed potatoes, cornbread and baked macaroni & cheese. We also tried the green beans & I was surprised neither of us went for the okra as it looked crisp & cooked to perfection. Our meals were absolutely delicious. The interior of the restaurant is nice. It offers introductions to the chefs, cooks & staff. It also has many homages to the magnificent magnolia tree. Over all, the food was great & the staff was attentive, welcoming & kind. Loved it!

My family absolutely loves The Magnolia Room restaurant because it is one of the most authentic soul food and/or traditional American cusine restaurants in the area. Some of the family favorites are the baked/fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, turnip greens, green beans, fried green tomatoes, fried okra, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, key lime cake, and cobblers just to name a few. My family has a history of cooking and eating great food during gatherings and use traditional recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation, so we know excellent food when we see it and taste it. Some of the staff have over 30 years of combined experience in the food services industry and are undoubtly responsible for contributing to the uniquely rich flavor

I loved this place genuinely good seasoned food! Whoever is cooking in that kitchen know what they're doing it was like going to your grandma's house for dinner. I ordered the lemon pepper baked chicken it had some type of lemon pepper sauce/gravy at the bottom it was delicious . The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I also had macaroni and cheese with the Sweet Potato Souffle both seasoned and delicious.
