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.

They are located in a nice little spot with ample parking and it's easy accessible. The interior is simple but clean. Plenty of seating. The ladies who work here are very friendly and helpful, came around a few times to check on me, offered fried side to go with the greens , offered a refill on my sweet tea. Great service! About the food. Probably the BEST FRIED CHICKEN in the area. I really can't judge on that because I haven't sampled other fried chicken in the vicinity but based on my own research of sampling fried chicken all over North Carolina, I feel confident in my assumption. It was fried just right. It was SEASONED. It had a very nice batter that was crunchy and the chicken in the inside was tender and juicy. Every bite was tender and juicy. These ladies should teach a cooking class on how to make fried chicken-to other restaurants. The SWEET POTATOES were perfectly cooked and flavored in butter and cinnamon. You could eat it as a dessert. But not overly sweet. Just right. The GREENS were tender and seasoned perfectly. Greens and fried side with their delicious CORNBREAD could be a meal in itself. The SWEET TEA-perfect! All around, best home cooked food/soul food you can get. I will be back and I highly recommend for true SOUTHERN COMFORT food.

I have been driving by this restaurant for awhile wondering how good the food would be. Well today…read moreI stopped in wanting a home-cooked country style meal. I always want to try and support small business and hope the food is outstanding but today didn't make the mark. Very disappointed in the beef tips and gravy with mac & cheese and squash casserole. I saw a picture from another review and thought it looked very good but mine didn't look anything like the other customers. I was really shocked at how small the portion was especially with the sides and there was hardly any rice up under the beef tips. This is a $15 meal here, I think you could do better than this. I'm a mac & cheese connoisseur and your mac & cheese just doesn't do it for me. Hopefully you could see this constructive criticism and maybe tweak a few things to make it a better experience.

When we arrived, there was a bit of a wait since 4:20 p.m. was just after the staff's lunch break. We reviewed the menu while I explored the lobby area, which was eye-catching, decorated with vintage household items. I was especially moved by the community food station right next to the entrance. The staff appeared highly focused on making sure everyone was well attended to and that orders were prepared correctly. My wife ordered the baked chicken with baked spaghetti and mac and cheese; I ordered the fried chicken with rice and gravy, mac and cheese, and hush puppies. Since I wasn't sure about portion sizes, I also added a house salad. We sat down to wait, and the customers around us looked completely at ease, as if they were at home -- always a good sign. My wife and I chatted in Spanish (our native language), and unlike other places where people sometimes stare at us for speaking it, we felt completely comfortable and relaxed. Then the food arrived. First, the rolls that came with the meal tasted spectacular. It was a shame you only get one per plate -- but oh well, lol. Second, my wife asked me to try the spaghetti, and I agreed. I don't know who is in charge of the kitchen, but the audacity of this person to make a baked spaghetti better than my grandma's... I'm definitely ordering it next time. Third, my meal. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and delicious. I usually order white meat for the flavor when I get fried chicken, but I didn't even need to -- the selection was perfect. The mac and cheese could easily stand on its own, and the white rice... I'm Puerto Rican, so white rice is a cornerstone of our table. Well, JJ's ruined plain white rice for me, because now I only want to eat it with gravy, LOL. I couldn't finish the salad or the hush puppies there, so later that night, while watching Netflix, I took care of the leftovers. We will definitely be back -- exquisite food, a very comfortable atmosphere, and super reasonable prices!
