We were in town for a wedding and found this cute little local restaurant and bar. There was an…read moreamazing seafood buffet. We weren't too hungry so we opted for potato skins and cheese sticks and sat at the bar. Dawn was the bartender, she was great. Told us about Leonard, the restaurant and was great to chat with. We had so much fun that we came back the next night and brought the whole wedding party. I think we overwhelmed them but you'd never know by the way they all chipped in together to get everyone drinks and whatever they needed. Dawn was the bartender the second night as well. She's even more fabulous under pressure. Patient, kind and showed a lot of grace to our rowdy group. Leas, the people of Leonard and the fun Saturday karaoke added even more memories to a wonderful night. Thank you Dawn, people of Leonard, and everyone who jumped in to help take care of such a big group. Your little local place rocks

If you have had a bit of riding experience, they will pair you with a great horse and let you play a bit. If you're a newbie they will find a tamer horse for you. They let you practice first so if you are a first timer, it's a great place to start! They have a variety of trails, but I really liked the ones we took. Stunning prairies, woods and scenic views. Our leader was a legit country born and bred cowboy which gave the experience true authenticity. The place was kind of difficult to find and scheduling was a legit nightmare. That said, it was all worth it and I gave this place 5 stars anyway. The horses are well cared for and the staff is knowledgable. They truly care for these animals and the experience of their guests. If you are a first time rider I suggest you take as little as possible on the ride with you. Things fall out of pockets while riding and no one wants a broken phone, camera, whatever. I lost my sunglasses on the ride (our cowboy offered to retrieve them but I didn't want to hold up the group) so just be sure you don't take anything you aren't willing to lose. Bring cash for a tip (it's how the cowboys make their $$$!!!) and after the experience you've had, you will want to be generous! Beware the only facilities are a well kept and clean porta potty. If this freaks you out, stop at a gas station before you go and limit wine consumption! Definitely go during pleasant weather, bring bug spray, and enjoy your ride! PS there is also a winery nearby that the staff will be happy to refer you to afterwards. The wines are sweet (not my taste) and mediocre even by Texas standards, but it was a great way to end our day. The owner was nice and it was a fun experience! Sorry, I don't recall the name of it!

Or for wearing stupid shoes and losing one when my horse decided she wanted to trot and try to throw me off (that's what it seemed like anyway). I rode barefoot like a boss! Haha. But that horse was the boss of me and she let me know it many times. Near the end of the ride I was more comfortable with how to guide the horse and make her do things I wanted her to do. In the beginning I was really questioning why I was doing this. There were 7 of us girls and David was our guide. We stopped about an hour into the rides to have dinner, which was set up for us near a pond, complete with a couple of bottles of wine. It was nice to regroup and chill out for a bit. This was definitely a fun way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon! PS - they did go fetch my shoe so I made it home with both. PPS - bring $$ to tip

My daughter's wedding was held at Magnolia Grace Ranch on June 11, and we had a wonderful…read moreexperience! Some highlights: * I was initially apprehensive about the Texas weather, but the venue is well-equipped to accommodate all weather conditions. Thankfully, it didn't rain, but it was reassuring to know there was plenty of indoor space available. * The indoor venue is spacious enough to comfortably host 200+ guests, with room for a dance floor and even an indoor ceremony if it had rained on us. Round tables, chairs, decor and linens for FREE borrow included. * The outdoor ceremony area was lush, beautiful, shaded, and surprisingly breezy for a 5 PM June Texas wedding. My daughter called it a "Twilight movies vibe with chandeliers in the trees" haha * The bridal suite was large and secure, featuring a coded lock for privacy and amazing lighting for all the bridesmaids makeup vanities. The groom and groomsmen had their own separate space as well with private access to the fishing pond. * Parking was plentiful and convenient for guests. * Outside vendors were welcomed, allowing us to bring in our own caterer, DJ, and photo booth. The photo booth was a huge hit with guests of all ages! * The air conditioning was ice cold inside, which everyone appreciated during a Texas summer wedding!! * The venue was exceptionally clean, spacious, and organized. * One of the best surprises was the huge decor and linen closet available for couples to use at no additional charge. There were countless decor options available. * Having both indoor and outdoor bar areas was a fantastic feature for guests. * Pricing was very reasonable and affordable compared to many other venues. My only suggestion would be to add a few patio swings, benches, or outdoor seating areas for guests who may want a quiet break from the dancing and music inside. Overall, Magnolia Grace Ranch provided a beautiful setting for our daughter's special day, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue in North Texas!

Posting here since they keep removing my reviews on G maps…read more Beware of this venue. I had not said anything because I frankly have not had the energy to. I have the energy now. Our experience wasn't absolutely horrible, but it definitely could've been better. Why you shouldn't book here: Lack of communication and not fulfilling contract obligations We booked MGR in Jan of 2023. Got married Oct 2023. Here's proof in case they try saying we weren't a client. We were promised, per the contract, I believe it was 200 lbs of ice. There was maybe 20. We had to ask the "on-site coordinator", which was really just a young adult and her boyfriend who not to mention were asleep when we went to ask, for more ice. We were not told upon signing the venue was being sold to new owners, which we wish we had known. We toured with Charmin Skipper, who like her name suggests, brought all the charm to this place. We were disappointed to find out she would not be the on site coordinator on our wedding day as previously discussed. The grooms suite was INFESTED with crickets. Of course for the time of year and location it is nearly impossible to keep them out completely, but it wasn't just 3-10. It was around 200 in the grooms suite, NO exaggeration. Did they not inspect the area prior to us entering??? The only other negative part of our experience was being extremely rushed to leave the building. I mean lights being turned off by the coordinators before we were even out the door. It felt like we were kicked out, left a sour taste on what's supposed to be a memorable night. Like I said, not horrible, but not great. What motivated me to write this review is because I randomly received this text from Karen, the owner yesterday. I constantly get posts on my Facebook feed regarding MGR because we're both in wedding groups, I simply haven't left the groups and they are looking for clients of course. Nothing wrong with that. In promotional posts they've made, or others posted by other people, I've made comments saying "we got married here, feel free to message me if you have any questions about our experience" or along the lines of this. Nothing negative just offering feedback about our experience! So to receive a threat from the owner to be pressed charges against over MY opinion that I'm ENTITLED to have because of course we paid to have our wedding here, is absurd. No wonder the recent reviews are so bad, and not surprised to hear they're up for sale AGAIN. You cannot silence people for having an opinion, Karen. I didn't even say anything bad, but again she couldn't bother responding when I asked what she was talking about.
