The Magnolia Pancake Haus - San Antonio

I was visiting friends in San Antonio and they recommended we go here for brunch. I'm so glad we went here! I loved being able to join the waitlist online, because there is definitely a long wait there often. It was in such a cute area filled with trees and there was a farmers market going on right outside the restaurant. Our service was great and she was super attentive. The food wasn't anything crazy, but it definitely hit the spot. I would definitely go back!

The food was wonderful. Served hot, perfectly cooked bacon per my request, yummy pancakes and excellent servers. The seating procedure was not. . We were texted to be seated. The hostess grabbed menu and asked us to stand aside. She returned and motioned for us to follow her but got distracted by another customer. In that time, another hostess came and told us to follow her to another wait in a hallway in the way of servers and customers. several were called for the same tables but several group and smaller table were dirty with one very slow busser clearing them. We joined a larger party who was called back before us but was stalled in the hallway as well. There were two in my party when another party of two arrived for the same table, leaving US to decide who would sit first, though we were already there, they claimed to have been called back before us. Once seated we saw flies on the sill obvious unalive. GROSS! BUT when we ask the waitress to clear them she had a gentleman come over and remove the 2 , then one live one promptly. The cost was very inexpensive but well worth double the cost for the quality and quality of food.

Came first thing in the morning on Friday and there was zero wait. The restaurant is cozy but smelled like natural gas...not sure what was going on. Our waiter came right away and took our drink orders. I got the freshly squeezed orange juice but it was a tad bit too bitter for my liking. I ordered the egg white frittata with a side of pancakes and loved it! The frittata was delicious with all the veggies and the pancakes were really good as well. The syrup is served warm which is great. Definitely enjoyed my meal.

I'm in San Antonio for the week for work, and this place came highly recommended by a coworker. Ate there earlier this week, and had to have it again today before I headed home. Great service and food both times. First time Bacon waffle was perfectly crispy and delicious with warm house made syrup. Today Avocado toast with a scrambled egg on the side for some added protein. Loved the sweet/savory flavors in the avocado toast! Don't miss this place!

The wait was approximately 45 mins with a line out the door. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was not worth the hype.
