From the moment we stepped onto the porch, we were transported to Grandma's home and kitchen--it…read morewas truly magical. The Magnolia House on Park is a hidden gem nestled by the river at the end of the street. The covered screened-in porch is set for multi-season use, with ceiling fans and multiple fireplaces. We were promptly greeted and chose a corner table (which was custom-built from 100-year old barn wood). The menu changes daily along with a selection of entree salads. We decided to dine "family style" and chose chicken and dumplings and meatloaf. Our sides included a house salad (I had the house-made orange zest dressing; my companion chose Thousand Island), green beans, mashed potatoes, and corn. These were served with rolls that literally melted in your mouth. Before the main course was served, we enjoyed some of the best fried green tomatoes we've ever eaten. The portions are generous, and they gladly boxed up our leftovers--and I look forward to having those tomorrow. Though we were thoroughly satisfied, we were unable to pass on dessert--all homemade. I had the lemon berry mascarpone cake, which was served with a side of fresh whipped cream. My friend had the pumpkin pie--which was the perfect taste of fall. We both had Magnolia Iced tea --garnished with lemon, orange, and a sprig of organic mint. Bottomless refills are available, and our attentive server kept our glasses filled. We had the distinct pleasure of meeting the proprietor/cook, her daughter (our server) and her mother. Magnolia House on Park is a labor of love--something that shines through in every bite. Before we left, we enjoyed some retail therapy in the boutique, which features items from local artisans and books from local authors. We can't wait for our next visit!

Their hours on Sunday are 12:00 to 5:00pm. Is that crazy or what. Check before you go, hours may change and a moments notice, nothing is for sure here. Ended up going for Chinese, always open, always great food. Nice when there's no surprises and restaurants are open.

Although the food was good the service was really crappy the servicer screwed up my simple order…read more Had to wait for the rest of my order to come out of the kitchen, while the order I received grew cold. Never came by to check on me or refill my water and when I ordered a dessert off the menu it wasn't as described on the menu. And I sent it back and they tried to charge me anyway. I get it I'm retired from the industry. I know how restaurants work. But what irks me is I did not get not one apology or a sorry . I will never step foot in this restaurant again I hope you have better luck. Don't fall for the Roadhouse sign because it's not the same as the good one.

First time at this diner, and to be TRUTHFUL, Not that impressed. Went inside, larger than it looks…read morefrom parking lot, but was immediately stopped in my tracks a group of locals spread out at the tables by the front door yapping and taking up space. It's okay to have the locals come daily, but HEY IN FRONT OF THE DOOR???? Come on guys, take it to the back corner Hubby grabbed a table against far wall away from the loud talkers while I went to counter to order. No warm greeting, no welcome have a seat, NOTHING but the local men jawwing The lady behind register took my order. I hadn't seen a menu but written out on chalk board above her head was some items so I chose 2 hot dogs for Tony with chili, onions and mustard and I did one with everything which here is chili, slaw, onions, mustard and ketchup and a Pepsi to share since no beer served. Took my seat, she brought our drink and 24 minutes later another lady brought our hot dogs. Now the lady behind the counter, later learned by loud locals was Rachel, she kept calling the chili a sauce when I ordered, but this was NO SAUCE it was chili...hamburger meat, onions, sugar lots of sugar and ketchup, lots of ketchup in her thick hot dog chili. It didn't have a bad taste other than too much suger, ketchup and slightly old from bottom of crock pot. But it is homemade, learned later she made it herself. The slaw was fresh tasting and again sweet, but the freshness was very noticeable and made it the winner on the end product. Onions was not old and odor over-powering so not bad either. A little to heavy on ketchup and mustard, would have tasted better if on the weiner and not the top of slaw to make all messy. The weiner was over cooked, and tough like old shoe leather. I literally had to dissect my hot dog to eat it. The bun was steamed, nice touch. $8.50 for 3 hot dogs and one Pepsi. Okay average price for an okay average Hot Dog. The Best in Jackson County, NO and definitely NOT the best in West Virginia. Unfortunately doesn't rate my TOP 10 list. Would I go back? NO but hey there is a group of locals who love it. Go yourself and give me your opinion. Friendly people though, just loud....hope Shortys daughter gets her car fixed soon!!!

First impression of the inside of the restaurant was great...kind of like speakeasy vibes, cool decor, dark. We were greeted by the water waiter who offered us three types of water to choose from. Waitress came over and took our orders. First thing to come out was the Waygu Beef Carpaccio. I took a pic of it but it didn't save to my phone for some reason but it was a solid 10/10. That garlic horseradish aioli was amazing. Secondly, my dad's meal came with a salad, he chose ceasar which might have had the best croutons on it that I've ever had. Bread was also served which was a sourdough, I believe, with 2 butter options (regular and garlic) and an olive oil. Very good. Dad's meal was the 14 oz bone in ribeye with a one pound loaded potato. He said all was very good. For my meal, I got the Cajun cream pasta with steak. It was perfection. There is nothing bad I can say about this dish other than I didn't think it was spicy at all. Didn't matter though because the flavor was great. With the Father's Day special, dads got a dessert and an old fashioned with their meal as well. For dessert, he got the lemon blueberry cheesecake. I took a bite of it and it was so good. The reason I didn't give this experience 5/5 stars is because the service was lacking. Typically, I factor in if the restaurant is busy. I'll start by saying, they were not busy. Out of the 13 or so tables, 6 were occupied including us. Our waitress maybe had us and another table she was waiting on. The waitress was very nice but I had to ask for items a couple times. Bread, drink refills, etc. The water waiter filled our drinks many times and then he stopped coming around. I asked the waitress for refills on our drinks and ended up having to remind her. I know technically it was the water waiters job so I'm not faulting her entirely because she did end up being the one to fill our glasses. At the end, she did tell us it was one of her first nights there so then we understood some of the hiccups. Again, very nice and certainly not a horrible waitress. She did great for the most part. We will definitely be back to try more menu items. Highly recommend- go try it out. Enjoy some food pics I took.
