Magnolia Cafe. - Birmingham

We found this cafe because it was close to our hotel. I had the fried fish filet, sweet potatoes casserole, cream corn and dressing. My spouse had the lemon chicken, butter beans and dressing. The sweet tea was delicious. The staff was very friendly. We visited with the manager/owner ? Who made other recommendations while we were in town. What a friendly and personable guy. I would highly recommend eating here. If you are a local you should frequent this place.

We went on a Friday and they were pretty busy. Food was really good. Loved their sweet potatoe casserole and the collards. You had a choice between 3 meats and about 8 to 10 vegetables. (I had 4 and all were good). Yes it is a little pricey for lunch, but we'll worth it as it's so hard to find good home style cooking. I'm very picky on my tea and was so glad I tried it here! The 2 men who were working there were both very friendly and pretty efficient. They kept apologizing for the wait because they were so busy, but honestly it wasn't bad. Sorry for this long review, but I noticed other reviews and felt like some were very misleading. I wish we could give half stars because this is actually a 4 and a half star kind of place (unless you want fancy)

We love this place and the people who make up the team here! We have eaten here about 15-20 times and it’s always fresh and delicious! Often in cafeteria type places, the food isn’t seasoned the way you’d like it to be- but not here! What a great experience!

Met a friend here for lunch last week and really enjoyed it. This is a no thrills cafeteria style meat 3, but everything was spot on. I got the pecan chicken and would definitely have it again. The food is priced reasonably and the portions were large enough to fill me up. A must try if you are in the mood for some good southern cooking.
