Nestled in Foley's area behind OWA, next door to Moe's BBQ, Wolf Bay restaurant, and Coastal Alabama Farmers and Fishermens Market you'll find Magnolia Meat & Grocery which is a charming family-owned establishment that has been serving the local community since 2017.
Thet offer a very nice array of high-quality products and exceptional customer service, this unique business has become a beloved staple in the area. It came highly recommended by a fellow foodie who loves this place, so here I am.
Magnolia Meat & Grocery's history began when owners Jason and Michelle Ladd saw a need for a local business that combined the convenience of a grocery store with the personal touch of a butcher shop. By sourcing fine meats and groceries, they created a one-stop destination where customers can find fresh ingredients for their culinary endeavors.
Upon entering the store, customers are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Ladds have carefully curated a space that exudes southern charm, featuring rustic wood accents and vintage décor that pay homage to the region's rich history. The very friendly and helpful staff are great with advice and recommendations, that make for a nice shopping and dining experience.
In addition to its impressive selection of grocery items, and produce they're known for their top-notch meat department. The expert butchers are dedicated to providing the freshest cuts of beef, pork, poultry, and even seafood, which are sourced from local farms and fisheries whenever possible. Customers can even place special orders for custom cuts or hard-to-find items.
For those looking to enjoy a delicious meal without the hassle of cooking, they also offer a variety of prepared foods and catering services. The daily lunch specials are a local favorite, featuring fresh tasty dishes like smoked brisket sandwiches, homemade pot pies, and fresh salads. They take pride in making making their own sausages, bacon, and many other specialty meat products and take-&-bake items. Take dinner home or dine-in for lunch!
We went with two of the specials, a Cousin Vinny is like a southern spin on the Italian hoagie but with made fresh in-house meats and the side of Macaroni & Cheese was quite good, and I had the loaded BLT. The bacon is in-house thick and smokey with a pepper jam and was quite good with that Mac n Cheese. They had a variety of teas, soft from and beer, too.
Additionally, the store offers custom catering packages for events of all sizes, from intimate family gatherings to large corporate functions.
Bottom line: This place is more than just a store, it's a community treasure that shines with the warmth and hospitality of southern Alabama. With its commitment to quality products, personalized service, and community engagement, this local gem is a great place to shop & dine! Highly recommended!!
