Updating my review!…read more My mom, husband, and I went this morning for breakfast and to start off the place wasn't as packed we found a booth pretty quick. It did take a while for anyone to attend us, I had to ask someone for menus and to take our drinks. My mom ordered the chicken fried steak and the waiter seemed a bit confused on what the menu said. My mom was confused too because on the menu it had two of the same name items with different prices. Anyway he took her order and he put in for the " country fried steak" as he called it and she also asked for the gravy on the side. My husband and I ordered waffles combo plates and my husband asked for a side of bacon. When the food arrived the gravy was on my mom's food when she asked for it on the side and she asked to get it replaced. She got it back and once she started cutting it it's was actually chicken fried chicken. She didn't want to ask to take it back so she just ate it. The good thing is she said her meal was delicious even though she didn't get exactly what she wanted. She also very much enjoyed the coffee. When it came to my mine and my husbands meal the sausage on his plate looked pale as if it was left on the grilled for one minute each side so we asked if it could be slightly more cooked and we're super grateful that the waiter took it back and brought crisper sausage linked on our plate. Now the only other disappointment from my husband's meal is that he never got his extra bacon instead he was brought extra sausage links. We didn't want to send it back either so we just kept it and he ate that. Overall all the food was amazing just wish everything was given to us the way we ordered it in the beginning. I would still go back and eat there.

Flew to Houston on Christmas Day and arrived early morning. After checking into our hotel, we were…read moreready for a late breakfast-of course most restaurants were closed but we found this diner that was about a 30 minute drive from the Med Center. We arrived around 11 and they were semi busy. Smaller spot in a mini strip mall with booth/counter/regular seating and black/white square flooring. Daily specials (M-F) are atavailable. We all ordered Omelettes with chocolate chip and plain pancakes to share. My Avocado Omelette (swapped Chorizo for shrimp-yes!) was delicious. And filled with slightly spicy Chorizo, mushroom, onions to name a few. The Meat Lover and Chicken Fajita were also tasty. Stuffed and generous portions. Pancakes were the perfect compliment and were also delicious! Our server and the entire staff were engaged and upbeat despite working on a Holiday. They were closing at 1 so we made it just in time. Make a stop at this Gem for some Diner deliciousness!

If so, get them. I perfect waffles but something told me to trust the pancakes and they were great. I'll be back for sure!

Unfortunately, it looks like the original diner is no longer in use, at least when we went, and a separate bar area had opened next to it where they now seat everyone. Though parking is plenty, it was hard to understand the layout when we first drove in. They still use a gravel/dirt/grass lot, which isn't a big deal, but the spaces of where we could park weren't immediately clear. I was impressed by the inexpensive options on their menu though and the portion sizes were big. However, those are the only good points. We ordered biscuits and gravy, breakfast potatoes, and their Pig in a Pancake, which wraps a breakfast sausage in a pancake. The food was overly salty and my pancake was very dry. No syrup was brought out; we had to go grab it ourselves. Same with eating utensils, which they now use disposable plastic ware. Paper towels are on each table, the only convenience. Though the employees here are nice, they did the bare minimum and never checked in on us after bringing us our food. I'm sad to see that this place has gone downhill.

The staff was one of the biggest highlights of our visit. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. They checked on us often without ever making us feel rushed or interrupted, which is a balance that's surprisingly hard to find. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the experience. While everything arrived fresh and looked appealing, the flavors were very underwhelming. Most of our meal was bland and lacked the seasoning or depth that would make us want to come back. We kept expecting each bite to have that classic diner comfort-food flavor, but it never quite got there. I genuinely wanted to love this place because the people and the atmosphere were wonderful. With a few improvements to the food, I think Magnolia Diner could be really good. I appreciate the hospitality we received and hope the kitchen finds a way to match the quality of the service.

It was also packed. We came on a Sunday and they were turning tables fast. The hot sauces on top the tables definitely could've been replaced as they were crusty and almost out. All the food could've used more seasoning and despite how hot the restaurant was, the food came out colder than I would've liked. They definitely way over charge for side times, a small side of Mac and cheese was $6. A handful of fries was $5. Combos thought were priced well. They have an AYCE fish fry Friday that might be cute to check out once it gets cooler outside as it was too hot to eat in the restaurant and we took our food to go.

They have two times of opening and I highly recommend you check the operational hours. We were the first ones there, and don't think they liked that much. They were prepared to open in my opinion. Still setting stuff out and didn't offer their options that were in the buffet style service The seating is cafeteria style also. With few private tables to choose from. The ladies serving weren't talkative nor did they offer advice for us being first time guests. Desserts weren't labeled properly. The food was hot and good, Not great. It was a good portioned and no one left hungry or dissatisfied. I would NOT come back myself, husband and kids said they would. No one visited the restroom so idk about that. I don't take any pictures because I left my phone in the car. We had chicken fried chicken plate with broccoli cheddar rice soup/casserole, and mac. Burger and fries chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes and green beans. I must mention here that they offer plates certain days of the week. Not everything is available everyday.

I saw an older gentleman get a salad and it was huge. Lots of dessert options, and the guy checking you out at the register makes sure you don't forget that! Try the chocolate surprise!
