If I could give this place ten stars, I would. You will have a wait when you get there, and you…read morewill wait no matter how long it takes. You cannot find a better place for a meal, or more kind folks running the place from top to bottom. And if your plate is too big to finish, feel free to take it home, because you'll want to save room for dessert. Magnolia 23 is a staple in our household. So long as we've lived within a 30 minute drive, it has been a great place for a Sunday lunch, or any other meal within the hours they are open. They treat you like family from the very start with the way that they take names for the line. It's natural to start a conversation with the people around you, because everyone has the same end game - a great meal. Once you're seated, it's never long before a waitress comes and takes your drink order. The menu for the day is posted on Facebook and written on the board on the wall, along with the sides and dessert options. There's no menus because it's a meat and two sides, plus a bread of either roll or cornbread. The seating is tables and chairs, although some areas have couches for seating, which is a nice change of pace. Today I got stewed beef with sides of mac and cheese, yams, and bread choice was cornbread. My other half got the country style steak, with sides of cabbage and rice with gravy, and bread of cornbread. The littles shared a fried chicken plate with side of mashed potatoes with gravy. They divided and conquered their food so fast I forgot to snag a picture of it. The stewed beef was perfection. So tender, and the juices went well with the cornbread. The yams were expertly spiced, and prepared with so much love. The mac and cheese was delicious, so I offered some to my youngest who promptly stole the rest of it. I did sample the country style steak, and it was so delicious that none was spared. I cannot wait to eat my leftover stewed beef later this week, as I knew I wanted to save room for dessert. We ordered two fried apple pies, and a slice of Hershey bar cake. Be careful with the fried pies - the filling turns into molten lava when heated, so despite the fact that you'll want to take the largest first bite, please be patient and spare your taste buds from their imminent demise by letting it cool a minute. The spices on the apple filling on the fried pies were perfect, and I savored every bite that I stole from my husband. My dessert was the Hershey bar cake, which I split with one of my littles. It didn't have a thick layer of icing, which was great. The cake had a nice crumb, and was sweet without being overly sweet. If you haven't been here yet, make sure to take note of their hours and then take a trip to Asheboro. Once you've finished your meal, feel free to take a stroll around downtown and know that you've just had the best meal around. Magnolia 23 is worth the price and worth the wait, because you will be blessed by the whole experience.

While visiting Asheboro to see the zoo we found Magnolia 23 and its stellar ratings as our family…read moredinner spot. I can say with confidence this restaurant deserves every accolade given here! We found parking easily behind the building and were given a warm and friendly welcome while walking up the stairs to the cozy porch before we even stepped inside. We arrived early since we knew this place was popular so luckily we had no wait on a Friday evening! We decided to try the catfish, fried chicken, and chicken & dumplings as our meats and a various assortment of the sides including collards, slaw, Lima beans, green beans, potatoes, corn bread and rolls. Absolutely every bite was inhaled, sadly I even missed a chance to take any pictures and my kids (7&9) couldn't stop remarking about how delicious everything was! The chicken & dumplings sold out right after we ordered so we felt lucky to try it too. The service was stellar and quick. HThe owner greeted many of the guests by name and took the time to chat with us and discovered our Wilmington connection- it was so refreshing to see this type of family run farm to table establishment and exchange local foodie recommendations. Next time we will definitely be leaving room for dessert!

I had already chosen my "carved turkey Reuben sandwich", yum, when I first went at around 12:30-the line was out the door, so went to my appointment, hoping I could get back by the 230 close time. Returned at about 215 yay, and happily walked right up to the counter to order my lunch, when I was told they were out of carved turkey (the way the server explained it sounded like an ingredient in the Reuben was out, not the actual turkey. I asked if the "simple turkey sandwich" had carved turkey, and I was told no, it was deli meat-deli meat is so processed and unhealthy. I was super disappointed. So I opted for a Smashburger after asking how they liked it and she said it was "delicious". Well, it's not a Smashburger. It's a double burger on a nothing special bun. I was going to take the bun off and eat it with a knife and fork, and I was looking for those yummy crispy edges on a authentic Smashburger. They didn't exist. This was a double cheeseburger with very thick patties. I think they were grass fed so kudos to them for that,, but it was incredibly dry sadly, and when I saw that the bun had been toasted with butter, I put it back on and had a couple more bites, but was super disappointed-and trust me nobody loves a great cheeseburger more than I but now I love smash burgers as well!. I also ordered the Orzo cucumber and feta salad (as well as the french fries) on the side and while it was OK, it was nothing special. French fries were just meh. After all the stellar reviews I had I was very surprised that they would make a double cheeseburger and call it a Smash-burger-I wish these restaurants would stop doing that, it's misleading, other restaurants do this too. And for the money I spent, I should've just gone to Shake shack! I DO think it's worth a second chance, and I will say everybody there was very kind on the Service level and it's an adorable, really beautiful spot and vibe ! I strolled around and looked at the merchandise afterwards. So hopefully I'll be back but just super disappointed I didn't have a nice meal and left hungry.

It had crunch instead of being too wet or too mushy. The smashed potatoes were very good! Potatoes served like that aren't usually my thing but they were delicious and well seasoned. I ordered the shrimp and corn while my husband got the crab cakes. Some places are mostly filling with hints of crab, Full Moon was the opposite--maximum amount of crab with the right amount of "cake". The shrimp was great and perfectly steamed. The corn came out piping hot! The service was fantastic. The seating is mostly bar tops which is cool and allows for the service to be seamless. Honestly it felt like a beach vacation on a Tuesday. Our next visit will be on a Tuesday so I can try the all you can eat crab legs.

Another chance to try the 3 for Me deal! I decided to stop in here for an early lunch since I was…read morein the area. In the 3 for Me I chosen the chili, and the Big QP, and a bottomless Coke, all for $10.99. The chili was out quickly, topped with shredded cheese and tortilla strips. This is a very good chili with no beans, but it is rather mild which a good dose of hot sauce will fix. The Big QP is called that as a direct shot at McDonald's Quarter Pounder. The 7.5 ounces of beef is 85% more than the 4 ounces on the Quarter Pounder! The Big QP comes with 2 slices of American cheese, chopped onion, pickled, mustard, and ketchup. And it comes with a nice amount of FFs.This is an excellent burger, and the meal deal is a great value. I would also recommend that you take a close look at their Triple Dipper - I would suggest the Southwestern Egg Rolls (very crispy, filled with shredded chicken, black beans, corn, spinach, and Pepper Jack cheese) with Avocado Ranch dipping sauce; Chicken Crispers with Nashville Hot sauce on them; and Mozzarella Sticks with Marinara or Nashville Hot sauce. This goes for about $17, but is enough food for at least two people.

First thing I noticed was how clean the place looked and the lady who greeted me was super friendly and attentive along the way. I ordered the Classic American Burger with extra cheese, no onions and the Chicago Dog Combo with crinkle fries and a Sweet Tea. The sweet tea is very sweet. The burger was delicious on a grilled bun, seasoned perfectly, and they use the good pickles. The only thing I didn't like about the burger was that the cheese was not melted. The Chicago Dog is really good and it's a grilled dog on a grilled bun with tomatoes, pickles, jalapeños, onions and mustard and sprinkled with celery salt on top. Yummy! The fries were good but needed to be cooked a little bit longer for my liking. Not very crispy. No seasoning added. Everything was made to order and came out hot. They have a large menu and I will be back to try more. I would recommend.

We were told the Cajun fries were curly but they were regular fries with seasoning. The fries were massive and thick. Unfortunately, over cooked due to sizing. Our waiter was cool.

We were very happy with both meals. The server was very friendly and attentive. Tonight was a totally different story. I placed a carryout order while in town for business. I ordered the same as before. Caesar salad, chicken tenders, fries and Cole slaw. I arrived five minutes prior to the designated pick up time and gave them my name. The hostess looked at the various orders and said my order wasn't ready. So I waited, and waited, another hostess came by and asked what I was waiting for, when I gave her my name, the order was there the whole time. They also did not include any utensils, ketchup for the fries or the honey mustard that was supposed to come with the tenders. The only highlight was the Cole slaw. The tenders were overcooked and the fries were mostly end pieces and partial pieces.
