We found Magnolia's on our first day in Myrtle Beach and ended up eating there every day of our trip. The buffet was fresh, delicious, and full of authentic Southern comfort food. My 10-year-old says it's the best fried chicken he's ever had, and I loved the collard greens, which reminded me of a Korean comfort food 시래기 from my childhood. The soups and vegetables were excellent too. A special thanks to Gary for his warm hospitality and wonderful conversation about Korea. Magnolia's isn't just a great restaurant--it feels like visiting old friends. We can't wait to come back next year. read more

Southern cooking buffet where they serve you cafeteria style. We ate dinner there one night and I thought the food was good but a little expensive due to the all you can eat buffet. Service was good and attentive. Everyone was very friendly. read more

This is my 1st time in Myrtle beach. Restaurant came highly recommended on the internet. We loved the country buffet. The staff are always so warm and gracious. We had such a good meal on sat we came back on Sunday for the brunch before to try the ham and turkey. Our meal was fantastic. Don't forget their house brewed ice tea they also sell it to go. All the food is scratch made. I'm fond of the squash casserole, ham, fried chicken, collards and make and cheese. The best dessert they have is the peach cobbler and the pecan pie. It's a buffet but for health reasons I think it's nice they serve you. Next time I need to try the breakfast read more

good service, but just one short step up from the free continental breakfast you get at national hotels. certainly not a great value at $15.99. read more

This is a little gem! We stayed nearby and wanted to grab a quick breakfast before heading out of town. So glad we did! Great service, really good buffet at a great price. Hard to find somewhere like this at the beach, but we'll definitely be back! read more

Waitress was great the food was good woukd definitely return . I like how kids and random hands can't touch the food

Wonderful food- buffet, great service - our server was happy, speedy and brought coffee quickly. All you can Eat. We got to pick and choose in the buffet line, fresh made, good quality and the chefs dish it up on your plate. You carry your full plate back to your table. Normally, I get too much, but this time I selected just what I would eat. I asked for a few things that were new to me. Loved "field peas' our sweet server Tracy explained what they were- good southern cooking. I looked them up- good food - very healthy. We came here twice, once for breakfast and once for lunch on a different day. easy to walk to, on hotel row. For lunch- different price, you'll wait until it's ready to be served. I liked this because it was fresh. Gorgeous strawberries sold at the front counter- sweet, ripe, a bucket full! read more

A friend and I had breakfast at this restaurant because it was free for guests who stayed at the hotel across the street. The buffet menu had regular breakfast food: fruit, yogurt, grits, sausage, sausage gravy, turkey bacon and sausage, corned beef hash and scrambled eggs. The meal included one free beverage. Can't complain since it was free. The buffet was served cafeteria style. The waitress Sandy was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was very relaxed and casual. Overall the experience was satisfying --nothing fancy. Will be back since we have another free breakfast tomorrow. I'm not sure of the price. Try looking that up on their website. read more

I was down in Myrtle Beach, SC visiting the folks and since my Mother had an event of her own that night, my Pop and I decided to go to get something to eat just the two of us. Truth be told there is no shortage of places to dine in Myrtle Beach and for me, I always like to try a new place since it gives me food photos, a new experience and of course the chance to offer up a Yelp narrative and hopefully inspire the masses or heaven forbid, steer people away from the terrible. Pop and I were sat quickly and handed the menu in case we wanted from there over the buffet options but that was what we were here for. We were mostly there based on meatloaf being one of the options that particular night and I was looking forward to something hearty this evening. I made two trips to the buffet line and can say that Magnolia's does this a little differently. The customer doesn't serve themselves but the staff works the line and passes your plate down where each staffer will load up what you ask for. I imagine that this keeps the trays of food neater and not looking like a disaster. Among the choices I made were the mashed potatoes, some mac n cheese, green beans, the meatloaf, a piece of fish and some battered shrimp. All of it was very tasty and I didn't need to go back for a third visit of that stuff but did for the dessert which was banana pudding. I couldn't recall ever having that but I am sure that I did at some point in life. The place wasn't crowded at the time we went and our timing was to hopefully beat the incoming rain which we did not. Once we got outside it had started and by the time we were halfway back it was horrible. That's South Carolina for you though. It will be nice and then rain like nothing you've seen before only to clear up like it never happened. Overall a nice time at Magnolia's and I'd visit again when there is the chance to do so. read more

What a nice buffet!! My friend and I were staying at a condo nearby which offered breakfast vouchers each morning. The breakfast buffet was better than the quality you would find in a hotel and the staff serves everything for you so there's no mess or germ issues. Coffee is poured hot and fresh at your table by the wonderful waitstaff. Really nice spot to take your family as they can accommodate larger tables but you may have to wait to be seated. It was clean and really convenient to the beach. Be sure to bring some cash to tip your lovely servers! read more

Magnolia's At 26th - Tasty breakfast buffet - American Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Went back to Magnolias for lunch. I was not happy, cause I had a snack before we went. Fried chicken, the colonel thinks he knows about finger licking chicken, and the hamburger steak in gravy was out of this world. I can eat the collards every day and topped it of with Peach Cobbler, it don't get any better. Can't wait to go back. read more

Customer service with fantastic the meals were 100 percent not far from the hotel , we'll be going back again.

When you hit the front desk, it should tell you all you need to know about how the meal is going to go. Hostess staff are smug and rude....nobody smiles....the place seems dirty....LOOK AT THE FLOORS....and the food is mediocre AT BEST. STAY AWAY. At the front door I saw an American roach running across the front step....even he didn't wanna eat here. read more

The web price is misleading and they closed the bar as we was getting there - $16 for one time is ridiculous

Service was really kind! Breakfast buffet was very disappointing & overpriced. The website says $11.99 for week day buffet which we thought was fair but they said their website is not updated and it's $15.99. $8 per kid, 5 and under was $6. Food quality was up to par with a hotel. We love a good breakfast buffet but this was not it. Would make it a 2 but the server was lovely. read more

I am originally from Myrtle Beach, but I moved to Dallas Texas in 2001. I come home frequently to Myrtle Beach and I always eat at Magnolia's, it is my favorite place to eat, the food is outstanding, I love it, now I want to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner there. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves southern food. I promise you will not go home disappointed. read more

I don't make it to MB very often but when I can, I eat at Magnolia's. I have never been disappointed with the location, food, service, or staff. I dined there at lunch yesterday and left with a full belly and a smile on my face (as I have every time I have dined here.)! Good food. Good staff. Tom E. read more

Had breakfast buffet. The main server had great energy and assured that everyone in line felt special. Had waffles and breakfast meat, which did not disappoint. As I was staying at the Anderson Ocean Club made this place super convenient. Place was clean and bright with attentive service staff. Would return next time we stay at AOC. read more

Terrible! Chicken was overcooked and dry-- inedible. Biscuits were hard, dry, and stale. Baked potato barely warm and tasted like it sat there too long. Buffet was $17 for lunch-- not really a buffet as you were served. Dessert was dream whip and some weird crust. YUCK! Only good thing was fried zucchini. They offer you a take home box, but per server they then charge you more. Overpriced and terrible! Years ago it was better. read more

Such a disappointment! I've always bragged about this place and brought my out of town guests here. The booths were so uncomfortable, you could feel the springs poking through the vinal seats. The food was way too salty... their fried chicken seasoning was relatively tasteless except for the HIGH salt content...it's awkward now that you can't serve yourself and far fewer options... especially on the salad bar. read more

We found this place right down the block from our hotel. It's quiet and small and very clean. There is a menu you can order from, but they also have an all-you-can-eat country-cookin' buffet. My hubby got the chicken tenders and I got the buffet: I had greens and Lima beans, Mac and cheese, yams and fried chicken. It was so delicious!! Our service was good-Josh did a great job!! There was a steady stream of folks coming in while we were there. I remarked to Josh about how great the limas were and he said the owner brings them from his farm!! Farm fresh good food!!! We will be back!!! read more

Magnolia's At 26th - The buffet is behind the lattice. Two very friendly serves will dish up the yummy stuff!!! - American Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Just okay. Food was okay. Had the buffet. The eggs were perfect and the pork patties were fine. Nice touch using the fresh strawberries being sold at the front desk. Yes, they were good. The warm stewed tomatoes (regular from a can) were nice, too. I didn't eat anything else, so can't speak for it. The buffet had quite a few high carb items such as biscuits, potatoes and grits. The service was just okay, but I must admit getting a little annoyed at myself and them. First, asked the waitress if I can order off the menu. She said everything was available on the buffet. I'm annoyed at myself for being such a pushover. The buffet was way more expensive than the menu. Second, paid for the meal and gave the cashier a five to have changed for tip. She was trying to get a repair service on the phone and assumed the entire bill was tip for an under $15 check for the waitress. All the waitress did was serve coffee (not good coffee, by the way). Of course, she probably cleaned the table, but not much else. 30% tip? I think not. read more

Ate here last week and was impressed. The food was excellent - crisp, fresh salad and the chicken salad was really delicious. I'm a very picky eater so didn't try most of it, but what I did get was great. Fried chicken was excellent. Everything that was supposed to be hot was hot. Waitress was attentive and soooo friendly. But I have to RAVE about the chocolate cake. I normally do not like chocolate cake, but this, w/the whipped cream layers - OMG! You do NOT have to eat anything before or afterwards for the whole day. Very highly recommend. read more

Had lunch today, for on the food bar was cold. They serve you on a plate, no more buffet fo help yourself. They act like they are taking it out of their pocket to serve you, have a terrible attitude. Chicken Cold and hard, mac and cheese at the end and stuck together, only thing that was good was fried squash. Potato salad horrible. They even have to get your ice cream and not such is given to you. Go back to the old days and hot food and great service but you helped yourself. Price gone up and food has gone down, not fresh. Not a great place to eat. read more

Food is disgusting and rushed, everything watery and gave me diarrhea, too crowded even tho my meals was free due to staying at the hotel, I went once and never went back again...Updated review from 8 mos ago read more

It's still making me smile. I went there last week for some comfort cooking and I was greeted at the door with fresh strawberries!!! They had them on the buffet and they were delicious. I chowed down on pork chops, fried squash, okra, Mac n cheese and strawberry cake. Good food. Good service. Good eats! Thank you for always making my trip special. read more

Hands down the best food in the area! This is soul food at its best! I am from the Deep South and good soul food is hard to find. I visit Magnolia's whenever I am in town for breakfast and dinner. read more

My husband and I had a great breakfast here. We loved that it was a buffet and we were able to pick what we wanted. We also loved that there were so many options available! We were able to enjoy what we wanted with a quick turn around. Our server was quick to bring our drinks and keep them filled throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean and nice. I felt like I was eating at grandma's house. We also enjoyed our coupon from our hotel which made our meals even more affordable. : read more

This place is delicious. Not sure why the stars aren't higher. The shrimp was fantastic, fried chicken was fantastic. Rice with gravy was delicious. The wife loved the soup. Great place for southern food on a buffet. Maybe it was Yankees who make the stars low. Oh and being a new Christian and living a better live, it was good to hear praise and worship playing!

I took my husband here over Father's Day weekend. It was definitely busy. We were placed on the list and received a text once a table became available. We were seated within 30 minutes. Not too crazy of a wait. Our waitress was helpful. I always like to get their opinions on meals, she provided her recommendations. The food was okay. It was breakfast. Nothing to rave about. I would be willing to try them again because I'd like to experience some of the other popular menu items. On this trip, I kept it simple and didn't want to rattle my belly too much. The story listed on the menu was heartfelt and I appreciate that they shared it with their patrons. read more

Loved it the squash casserole was the best. Place looked clean and staff was super nice.

We ate breakfast here through a deal for free passes with our condo accommodation. The servers were mostly very friendly. The food was plentiful and filling. We ate here four straight mornings during Thanksgiving week. We especially loved the biscuits and gravy, bacon and stewed apples. We'll definitely eat here again while in Myrtle Beach. read more

This place used to be so good. Back when you could serve yourself your own food but it has went downhill so bad! Last time we came a mouse literally ran across our feet idk why in the world we came back. We were the only people in the restaurant and literally stood at the Buffett line a full minute while the staff talked to each other until we were finally like hello?!?! The food is mediocre and certainly isn't worth the insane price for cafeteria food. read more

It is too expensive for a buffet. The food is alright but nothing special for the price. The bill for three of us (adults) was over $85.00 for a standard buffet with 3 iced teas. There are better buffets in the area that are not as pricey. I will not return and I am a local. The service was good.and the staff was friendly. It had a cafeteria atmosphere. read more
