Magnolia & May

Shoutout to our server and wonderful hostess! I simply adore the decor of this hidden gem of a restaurant! It is a quaint local place that has wonderful and delicious food. My friend and I wanted to try brunch after church Sunday. We were not disappointed. We started off with the fried green tomatoes which had a lovely corn meal coating and tasty tomatoes with a delish sauce. Perfectly fried. I had the pulled pork tacos that were seasoned well and had a nice flavor. I ordered a side of biscuits that came with butter and homemade mixed berry preserves. It was good but a little dense for me. I also had the caramel macchiato bread pudding with coffee. That bread pudding was out of this world! My friend had the french toast and fried chicken. The bacon marmalade was a nice touch with the fried chicken. She also had the peach bourbon crisp. It was good but I really liked the bread pudding the best. The gelato was awesome. All in all we had the best time! We will definitely return for another dining experience!

Let me preface this with, this place is a solid 3.5 but yelp won't let me give half stars.We came here for brunch. The ambience is whimsical and fun. The service is amazing. The staff is Friendly andattentive and really helpful. And the drinks? Star of the meal. Creative and delicious. We had a couple of the seasonal drinks and they were truly unique and flavorful. The food is meh and I'd say unnecessarily ambitious. None of the food was bad, per se, but all of the more ambitious options over promised and under delivered. For example, The Okinamoyaki (which kinda doesn't fit anything else on the menu) was cooked and browned weirdly while the short rib sandwich was juicy and tasteless. Neither were bad but there were missed details on both. However, the more simple staples like buffalo brocolli and the eggs, bacon and biscuits were fine..good even.I'd recommend coming through for drinks only, these are one and a lifetime fun cocktails. If you're going to order....keep is simple.

Always love my experience when at this lovely local restaurant. Service is top notch, food is fresh, gotta try the shrimp and grits. Very cozy ambiance and perfect location in east Memphis.

Nice venue with both bar and table seating. The brunch menu is very extensive and provides an opportunity to get a range of appetizers to steak. I enjoyed the brunch wrap supreme and the chorizo was not spicy. The service was a bit slow, although my friends and I arrived before the room filled up. However, the server was gracious and friendly.

Bookclub meeting on 1/14. Many parties present around noon. Mardi gras menu in effect. We had two mimosas setups and enjoyed chatting to review the book. Noticed a few menu items had been changed since last visit. The snow moved in earlier than projected so we quickly exited as it was coming down pretty fast. Thankfully we all made it home safely. Little did we know that would be the beginning of the winter weeklong shut in

What a cute cute restaurant! It gives "cozy" Minimal menu, nice cocktails, colorfully decorated for the holidays... I could easily live here. Pricing is on par with the neighborhood and diverse enough for any budget. Our server Daniel was attentive and polite while very busy, and I never felt neglected.I will be back with my husband for a date night dinner!

This place has a nice vibe! I stopped by recently during the evening and wasn't disappointed. Local beers on tap and a pretty good wine menu. Their deviled eggs are excellent too. Check it out, they have a great local options for drinks and good service.

I got the side salad and the person with me got the Cobb salad. Literally every single cherry tomato was bad. So bad there is NO way they could have been placed on the salad without the preparer not realizing it. They hamburger pickles on the salad had pink something on them . It reminded me of the pink slime that sometimes gets on the ice machines. We sat at the bar, and our bartender was nice enough. Drinks were good. Place has a good vibe. Cobb salad was ok except for the hamburger pickles and the rotten tomatoes. Oh, and the Diet Coke was good too.So I had a pile of greens, but mostly spinach, with some buttermilk watery dressing- which to me is not a salad. Who puts hamburger pickles on a salad??Don't see us going back unless it's too drink only.

I love this place so much! Have been 3 times, including last year for Magnolia & Mistletoe which was SO FESTIVE and FUN! Each visit has been a complete delight. Service is great, food is spectacular (love that the menu changes), everyone we encountered was so friendly and welcoming, and everything is just on point. Our latest visit was tonight for my daughter's birthday. We were a party of 5 so I made a reservation and we were given a great table by the bar. The host who greeted us was super friendly and attentive (I wish I had gotten his name), as was our server, Tucker. We ordered wine and cocktails -- always love the choices!Now let me tell you about the food. We started off with the smoked redfish dip, which was to die for! The chips that accompanied were homemade and very, very good. We also had the sourdough w/apple, ricotta and hot honey which was also very good. For entrees, I ordered the butternut squash gnocchi which was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Other dishes we sampled: the collared green and fried chicken melt, patty melt, roast beef sandwich, pork shank grilled cheese. All were equally unique and delicious! I can't say enough good things. I just really love the overall vibe here. It just feels so cozy, you want to sit back, have some cocktails, enjoy the delicious food and stay a while!

I really do love this place! Happy hour is a great deal and the food is really good. We love the broccoli appetizer. The service is great, extremely attentive to your needs. Huge plus they decorate for holidays and it's so festive!
