Magnolia Cafe

What an amazing experience. Magnolia brings up certain expectations. This place didn't fit those images. I looked at the menu and was f impressed. I got the chicken strips and my wife got fried catfish. Those chicken strips were amazing. Absolutely the best I've ever had. The fried catfish was equally amazing. And their French fries - so crisp and good. After I was stuffed, I saw their pies. I so wanted to get a piece of pie to go but we're on the road. Even though the restaurant didn't meat my Magnolia expectations, it was a charming place. The wait staff enhanced the charm. The blond girl who took care of us did a great job.

We ate lunch there today,,,,First thing : service was spot on for the entire meal.One of the best chicken fried steak I'v had in a long time, the food is exactly the way country cafe should be. We will be going back to this place next time in Dourant!

This place is so good! Their breakfast is to die for their biscuits and gravy are so good and so are their eggs and bacon. Their burgers are really good too. And the person that served us so so nice and kind. And the cafe itself is beautiful. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!!

The rating is based more so on where it's located. There's not a whole lot in Durant as far as restaurants go so this one was relatively good. Ordered the biscuits and gravy - that was pretty average. Also ordered the breakfast tacos and there was 5/5. The salsa could've used some work but combined with Cholula it did the job just fine. Would definitely come back!

Venturing out to try something local proved to be a great experience! My husband's meat lovers omelet and cup of beans with cornbread were a perfect harmony of flavors. The beans were incredibly flavorful and the cornbread was simply divine. His omelet was a true delight! We also had the opportunity to try the French toast, which was absolutely delicious! I opted for the chicken fried steak, and it was tender, flavorful, and had a light, crispy batter. The tomato basil soup was a creamy, dreamy blend of flavors, with generous chunks of tomato. While the fried zucchini wasn't bad, it lacked a personal touch. Fortunately, the salad was fresh, crisp, and paired beautifully with the ranch dressing, which tasted remarkably homemade - as a ranch dressing snob, I truly appreciated this!

Good service, clean restaurant, friendly staff. Stopped in on our way out of town from Dallas. Very busy when we pulled up, parking is definitely an issue for this hopping place. Luckily someone was pulling away when we pulled in. Deserts looked fantastic but we were too full and watching our figures . I would stop back in and try something different next time.

The service was quick and food came out fast! Maybe in 10-15 minutes. The restaurant has a quaint country vibe and feels like my small hometown. My brother ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger which had maybe the best fries I've ever had - they were thin and extremely crispy with the perfect crunch to potato ratio. I got the chicken fried steak w a pancake on the side. The pancakes were extremely tasty with a classic diner buttermilk taste. The chicken fried steak was exactly what I expected and had a good crunch from the batter without being too thick or oily. The hashbrowns could've been a bit more crispy but the over easy eggs were cooked perfectly! My sister got the Jackpot combo which came with two slices of bacon, two slides of sausage, a piece of ham, 2 eggs, hash browns, and 2 pancakes. I was impressed with the portion sizes and the reasonable pricing - it was refreshing to have a good deal compared to Austin dining prices! Overall great experience and exceeded my expectations for such a small town in OK!

Amazing service, and delicious food! I requested my hash browns to be extra crispy on both sides (you can't over cook them for me) and they came out barely cooked. I asked the waitress if there was any way they could be cooked more as I hadn't touched them and she said she told the chef she didn't think the hash browns were cooked enough. She brought them back to the kitchen and a little later the chef himself came out with them to make sure they were done to my liking and they were perfect. He was delightful.All the staff was wonderful and on it. Our server (I wish I could recall her name) kept the water and coffee filled up and it was really busy! I would definitely recommend stopping at Magnolia Cafe. It's a great place to start the day after a concert at the Choctaw Casino the night before, or for any reason...Just go! You won't be disappointed.

Charming restaurant, service was warm and friendly and fast. Loved the cinnamon French toast; florentine omelette was outstanding veggie griddle was great and home made biscuits yummy.

We go there often staff is very nice Excellent Breakfast after leaving the casino when looking for a place other then the restaurants inside the casinos
