    We have heard about Magnolias Tavern and we're excited to try it out. I'm glad we did! We have amazing meals and delicious drinks. The service was incredible. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly. The vibe of this place is local whiskey bar with and emphasis on local. It feels like a place you would meet friends and neighbors to hang out and enjoy authentic southern food and drinks. Very pleased with every part of our experience.

    This was a late night stop for us after traveling from up North. We got there around 8:30 and they were closing at 10:00. Starting with "The Good". The food was amazing. Burgers, sandwich, wedge salad with chicken, and the Mac and cheese. My beer was good, my wife's drink was good. The bar wall and presentation is awesome and impressive as a great display. "The Not So Good" my daughter's sprite was flat, even after asking for a new one and letting them know it was flat. The service was fine with a hint of "we want to go home, so we won't offer anything extra" so that kinda made our experience less than we would had hoped for.

    My husband and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. During this hour, it was free sitting so we picked our own seats. The server quickly came by to take our drinks and food order. We decided to order a few appetizers: pork belly burnt tips and chicken wings alongside the Magnolia fried chicken (with tavern fries and mac & cheese) to share. We asked for all of the food to come out at the same time. The chicken wings were okay, and the pork belly burnt tips were very flavorful. But the star of the show must be the tavern fries. The popcorn chicken was nice and juicy and packed with flavor and the dipping sauce made it much more amazing. We sat at the bar on high chairs. The bar was nicely stocked and looked amazing. There are tv's playing all sort of sports for you to choose from. Overall, it was a nice lunch.

    They actually have last call at 10:30

    Absolutely enjoyed every bit of our visit! The server, Alexis, was so helpful and friendly. The shrimp and grits were perfect. The grits were creamy, seasoned well, and comforting. Best I've had in the PNW by far. My husband said "The Burger" was exceptional. And those collard greens...tender and spiced just right. Not to be missed. I'm not a bourbon fan usually, but I tried the Up in Smoke and thought the pairing with a candied bacon strip on top was definitely in my top 3 of favorite cocktails I've tried. The dining and bar area are welcoming with touches of the south throughout. I especially liked the fireplace area with cozy couches to relax in when our weather turns colder. The music overhead gave a happy, party vibe. We can't wait for our next visit.

    My friend made reservations for his birthday dinner here for a group of 11. This was our second time here. It was dinner time so it was a little busy. We had to ask the waitress for waters a few times. If there was a reservation for 11 people, you would think they'd have enough water on the table for everyone. They only left 8 waters on the table. The waitress took so long to bring the waters and took even longer to take our orders. Food was good, but a little on the pricey side. Drinks were good, very refreshing. Wasn't that impressed with the overall visit. Customer service needs work. Not looking to visit here again any time soon.

    I had really high hopes for this place. Sadly this wasn't the brunch I had hopes for. When we arrived, we were waiting to be seated.. only for the server to run inside from outside. Then switching servers. Order food and my biscuit was substituted with a waffle. They give me 50% off my entree after I said that it wasn't a good sub. everything just felt rushed, not genuine.. and if you're gonna spend the money, go somewhere else.

    New place to try! North East Vancouver off of Padden Parkway. Magnolia Tavern behind Walgreens on the corner, was a nice place to stop and grab something to eat. We were greeted and we chose our own table. Magnolia Tavern is a nice and clean bar and grill, with a patio outside for extra seating. We like dark beers and they happen to have 2, a Milk Porter and a Peanut Butter Stout they were delicious . It happened to be a Friday and Happy Hour! So we ordered from the Happy Hour menu. Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Tavern Fries, and Buffalo Cauliflower, all were great. Our server was great and attentive. Give Magnolia Tavern a try!

    Great burger!!!

    Came in after a round of golf for a burger. It was pretty good. The service is always good too. I really like the whiskey and beer selection. The people I meet there are pretty cool and laid back. I can't wait to go back and try it again.

    I don't have children, but I would say yes. Both times I've been I've see children there. They've got the "family side" then the bar side. Not sure if you read the reviews… Read more

The restaurant is simply decorated and really clean. They really pack people in there, but it's packed in not a suffocating way. Our party of 5 got seated about 10 min after we checked in. All employees we came across were super nice especially our waitress. She was fab! Ordered the Cajun Scramble [$19] which came with potatoes & a biscuit. The potatoes were some of the best we've tried and the scramble was really flavorful. Also got the Praline Waffle [$15] which came w/one huge waffle with all the praline fixings. That was sooo esp the white cream that it came with. Tried a bite of the Banana's Foster French Toast [$16]- super good as well. Also took a bite of the Cinnamon Roll [$9] which was warm and gooey just the way I like it. The whole meal was straight fire! No misses. Would have loved to try their dinner menu, but it was our last day in the city. However, if we ever find ourselves in Portland again, best believe we're coming back for more. Excellent establishment!

That said, I've been here a few times and keep wanting to love it more than I actually do. The food is good, but with so many amazing brunch spots around Portland, nothing on the menu really stands out enough to justify the wait for me. The exception? The Bloody Mary. That thing is loaded and worth ordering every single time.

They have quite a variety of food from fish & chips, steak, burgers and sushi. Wait-sushi? I don't think that goes with their vibe and I really wouldn't order that from them. Their Reuben is listed on the menu as being made with pepper jack cheese! No thanks. I like my Reuben's made the traditional way. My friend ordered a steak for $48. She was not at all happy. It was very fatty and was quite thin. She had a salad (looked like mostly greens) and it also came with veggies and mashed potatoes. Wish I had snapped a photo of that. Another friend had chicken Marsala. She enjoyed it. I thought it was weird they had a huge rice cooker on a chair in the dining room. It was plugged in, with the cord running up the side of the door frame and plugged into an extension cord above the door. Wonder what the fire inspector would say about that? I'd go back for the fish & chips. Service was fast and our server did a great job.

The brisket was a little dry but good pieces. I like the fatty kind. The atmosphere was a happy place. They had a great bar with all kinds of bourbon.

    Took a coworker out for lunch and found this place through Yelp. We arrived shortly after opening,…read moreso the restaurant was quiet and the staff was very friendly and attentive. My biggest disappointment was finding out that the two items that caught my attention on Yelp--the brisket mac and cheese and the tacos--were only available during happy hour. I even offered to pay the regular menu price for either item, but was told I'd have to come back during happy hour if I wanted to order them. Instead, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The pulled pork sandwich was decent, but the flavor felt a little flat and could have used more seasoning. I was also surprised there wasn't any salt and pepper on the table, so if that's something you like, be sure to ask for it. Overall, the food was good and the service was good. While I enjoyed the experience, it's probably not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again, though I'd stop in if I was already in the area.
