I haven't eaten at Magnolia 23 in a few years and was in Asheboro so I decided to try it again. The…read morerestaurant was full at lunch time but we didn't have trouble getting a table. The server was really nice and gave us plenty of time to order. I ordered the fried chicken smothered in gravy. It was good but I felt like the gravy was a bit lacking. I really loved the Mac and cheese! I also ordered a cup of chili and it was good but not amazing. We ended the meal with a piece of fried apple pie. It was very good! It wasn't too sweet but had a great apple flavor. Overall a good experience but it could have been better.

My first time here and I came in through the side door by mistake so that killed first impressions…read more Plus you can tell this place has been around for many years so either the food is good or they give you huge servings. It's hardly ever both in my experience. Service met the expectation. She was attentive and kept my drink full. I ordered Chicken Pie or Chicken Casserole (I'm honestly not sure what the difference is. It's a LOCALS favorite, not found in surrounding cities. I think some places call it pie and others call it casserole and I've even seen both items on the same menu). It may have been either the last serving left, scraped off the edges of the pan or it was made on a previous date and re-heated. The same with the mashed potatoes. There were hard crunchy bits of potatoes like it had been sitting out for a day or so and I got the scrapings from the side of the pan. They were not fresh. The gravy wasn't bad. The green beans were straight out of a can and seasoned with bacon or some kind of pork. They served both biscuits and cornbread. I took a bite out of the biscuit and didn't eat the cornbread. From the outside, I thought this was going to be different than what I saw on the inside. They serve breakfast here too and from the reviews and pictures, looks like breakfast may be what keeps this place open. Or the desserts. They do have a huge selection of desserts at the front entrance and they looked good. I don't think I'll be back. Not because of the service but because of quality and cleanliness.

The pie I chose was the Maple Custard Pie and it was one of the most delicious pies I've ever had and I had a Latte with it which was just beautiful with the design on top, served in a giant coffee cup. Yum! I can't wait to go back and try items from the menu. The menu sounds delicious! Service was outstanding. Ambiance is giving French Country Farmhouse vibes. Love it!

Let it be known this is the place to go to get the best fried chicken in Asheboro…read more On the menu, it's a 1/2 Fried Chicken with 2 sides and choice of a bread. All of that for $9.99! You can't beat that price. I ordered the Fried Chicken with Creamed Potatoes with gravy, Cabbage and hot rolls. The plate came out hot and steamy. The creamed potatoes were served with some of the daily special's gravy on it. It wasn't chicken gravy but it was a good homemade gravy. Were the potatoes real or boxed or a mix of both? I couldn't tell. If they were boxed, they fixed them up to taste real. If they were real, they sure did a great job at creaming them. It's on debate. The Cabbage was cooked perfect, seasoned well. The hot rolls were not homemade but they were fresh, light and fluffy and served warm. The star of the plate was definitely the chicken. Cooked to order, it came out super hot. It was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside, meat was tender and juicy on the inside. I peeled off some of the skin and juice was dripping all over the plate. It's hard to find good fried chicken and I've been trying several of the local places but so far, this place is #1. Also, the sweet tea is GREAT! The service was super friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and there are lots of tables and booths, but get there early or after lunch because they were full when I arrived at around 1:30pm. I would highly recommend for the Fried Chicken.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by abundantly welcoming and friendly staff. The diner is clean and well put together with 2 dining areas and a counter bar. We ordered breakfast essentials (eggs, pancake, biscuit and gravy) and the food came out piping hot within a matter of minutes. The server was very accommodating. The tea was great and so was the food, for less than $20 at that! There were lots of advertisements around on the table and cups which was a little distracting but overall it was such a good experience. The manager (maybe owner) gave both my children a candy treat when we left. Give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.
