Magnolia Café

This place is so comforting. I don't drink but their chicken fried steak is the definition of hangover cure. It's served super hot, like me, (I'm joking shut up) and it's heavenly, also like me (not joking). Everything about it is yummy, and I'm a person that usually finds non-spicy foods bland but can confidently say this is delicious. It's kind of like a massive McDonald's chicken nugget... but steak... and won't irritate your bowels. As a person that is missing their gallbladder, I approve. Biscuits are OK - however - I love Popeye's biscuits so... take that however you want. Gravy was tasty, hashbrowns were just a teensy bit too greasy but not overly so where I couldn't eat or enjoy them. Eggs are normal, good. Service is good! Both times I've had the pleasure of eating here, they've been nothing but nice. Have only been here at around 7am and it is busy but there's never been a wait and it's mostly older folk so pretty chill. No children running around, just a bunch of retirees. Perfect for a nice, quiet breakfast. Can't wait to come back!

The fried chicken is great. If you're going to order it, let them know when you walk in the door, it's made to order and it takes 20 minutes!The service is great, everyone is family. It's an old time diner right down to the music.

This place is so cozy it it may not look like it on the outside the food was so so good.Are server was nice and helpful I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Classic American diner here with friendly staff and decent comfort food! Coming into Magnolia Café feels like traveling back in time to another era where things were much simpler and you get a homey feeling. You do see more of an older clientele coming in but it adds to the overall casualness of this diner spot.I came by for dinner recently and ordered the chicken fried steak and it was decent. I got a side of mashed potatoes and vegetable soup and it came with a side of garlic toast and some steamed vegetables. It was an overall okay meal and I got some ice cream for dessert since I got one of the daily specials and did hit the spot at the end of my meal.Overall, it's an old-school cafe and the staff are friendly and charming and this is a decent spot to stop by if you are craving for some classic American food.

I am so happy to have found this place!!! My friend and I wanted to get breakfast on a Sunday morning and found this charming diner that conveniently opens at 7 AM. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but once you step in, it feels like you're instantly being transported back in time. Right off the bat, I loved the atmosphere of the place. Rainbow Christmas lights, cozy tan booths, and genuine and warm staff -- I felt like I was a character in a 90's movie. Tatiana, our waitress, was friendly, sweet, and efficient. A man named Carlos also approached our table and asked if we needed anything. I could tell from the relaxed vibe of the restaurant and the cheerful demeanor of the staff that the people that work here are authentically happy, which was so heartwarming to see. I ordered the Italian omelette with salad ($1 upcharge) and buttered wheat bread and my friend ordered the San Francisco breakfast option with a biscuit with gravy, plus coffee. We were pleasantly surprised by how soft and fluffy the biscuits were (not dense or hard) and impressed by how good they tasted with the thick, yet light-tasting gravy. My friend said my omelette tasted like chicken parmigiana ("It's delicious!" is what the description on the menu said). I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone for its comfortable vibes and wonderfully caring and attentive staff! :)

Since it's close by, I wanted to like it. But it was just very average for breakfast. Gravy on the biscuits was very bland and I couldn't finish them. Eggs were a bit cold when served. Staff was very friendly tho.

Wonderful experience! Great food and prices were very reasonable. Wait staff so accommodating. Our waitress, Michelle, went out of her way to make us comfortable, and at home. Will definitely come back when we are back in Southern California. PS: My BIL said the tile in the restroom was beautiful. Just saying...

Hungry for some real comfort food and where to go? We've had great meals at Magnolia Cafe, and it's been several months since we were there. It didn't take long for me to decide that the fried chicken dinner is what I want. Thus, I placed my order, and a fresh salad and corn bread came out first. The fried chicken would take a while. The lovely missus has two eggs and bacon and fluffy pancakes. I have to admit that the breakfast she has on the table looked really good. I wish I could say the same for the fried chicken. One bite into the drumstick, and it was evident that it needed more time to cook. So, back to the kitchen, my chicken went. Apologies all around, but the chicken was returned refried, and now it is beyond the juicy morsels I had experienced from visits before. No more fried chicken for me if this new cook can't do it. No more Magnolia Cafe for me as today the fried chicken and the subsequent customer service were below par. Too bad because Magnolia Cafe was one of our favorites. Only the pancake leftovers we brought home can help and give a second chance to restore my wanting to continue having meals at Magnolia Cafe. Was not having any background classic rock oldies an omen?

Outstanding little cafe for "Midwest Comfort Food"!Great food and service.Daily specials for every meal

If I can give this place a zero, I would. I came here with my husband and had breakfast. Service was fine as usual. But when my cup of coffee came out, I noticed a pink residue on my cup. This pink residue turned out to be from the previous users lipstick stain. I quickly advised the waiter of this incident and you know what the waiter had the audacity to do?! They took it, wiped it with their napkin and gave the cup back to me to drink out of. This is just ridiculous. My husband and I quickly left after they claimed they'd pay for my food. I'm sorry, I'm not one to be confrontational but this is a HUGE No No. Who does this?! Would you want to drink out of a cup where the lipstick stain was still stained from the previous user? Ha! No thanks. Magnolia cafe y'all need to do better. But I'm good I'm never coming back to this place. Just wanted to make sure other customers were aware of their poor service
