This…read moreis an old school, small group of friends, traditional barbecue place that is being eclipsed by chain fast food similacria. It's not the same thing, and once this echo of the past is gone you'll only have reviews like this and some sort of past tense FOMO. From the fading menu on the wall, to ordering through little windows, to the screened in dining area, all of this screams love from a time gone by. The service is as good as you make it, because you are picking up the food from the other little window and bringing it over to your table. The staff are pleasant, know their stuff, and make you feel welcome. Terroir counts for a lot. Eating excellent ribs and seriously loaded potatoes at sunset listening to the birds is really magical.

Every time I get a baked potato with chopped bbq on top, it is always consistently delicious! The pea salad is incredible! Be prepared to wait a few minutes. There is no voice box in the drive thru.

They are under new management, so be sure to give them a try! Some of the best bbq in the Magnolia area!

It was raining the first time we came, so getting from the dirt parking lot to the front door turned into a fun little game of dodging puddles. The second you walk in, you're greeted by some of the sweetest staff. The cozy country atmosphere is full of fun, quirky décor that gives you something new to notice while you're waiting for your food. Speaking of the food...everything we tried was so good that we ended up bringing more family back for a second visit. The baked taters are HUGE and definitely filling. The green beans have the perfect sweet-and-savory flavor, and apparently the mac and cheese is a winner too because my son finishes it every single time before I can even sneak a bite! They also have plenty of seating, so even with a group, there's room to spread out. If you're looking for good comfort food with friendly service and a laid-back country feel, this place is definitely worth checking out.

They do have fans and a lot of covered seating. There is also a hand wash station and a unisex porta potty for a toilet. After looking over the menu on the wall near where you order, we both chose burgers, the Mushroom Swiss and the Spicy Jalapeño Bacon Cheeseburger. Neither came with lettuce or tomato which was a little odd. My spicy burger was loaded with tons of pickled jalapeños, thick bacon and supposedly cheddar but the cheese was white. Maybe they put pepper jack instead. A pretty good burger but only 1/3 lb patty. The lettuce was shredded iceberg and tomatoes were small. My colleague also added lettuce and tomato and said her burger was really good. We added a side of onion rings, these were thickly breaded and just ok. Cannot taste the onion its just so much breading. The burgers seem larger than they really are due to the large amount of toppings and they're just really tasty. Really didn't need to order the onion rings. Service was very friendly, I will give them that.

As a bbq chopped brisket sammich connoisseur, I rate the local Montgomery county (so far) as thus:…read more #1 McKenzies BBQ sammich (Unlimited condiments: bbq sauce, the best tasting spicy bbq sauce, jalepenos, onion, pickles.) #2 Porkys Pig bbq (Great sauce, great flavor just small and pricey compared to McK) #3 The Meating Place (Generous on the meat, stingy on the sauce, and condiments which all cost extra, and sauce is mid) #4 Vernon's (Not good. Poor tasting meat, and bad sauce, but best price) #5 Jason's Deli LOL (Utterly nasty and inedible do not bother LOL)

The staff was one of the biggest highlights of our visit. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. They checked on us often without ever making us feel rushed or interrupted, which is a balance that's surprisingly hard to find. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the experience. While everything arrived fresh and looked appealing, the flavors were very underwhelming. Most of our meal was bland and lacked the seasoning or depth that would make us want to come back. We kept expecting each bite to have that classic diner comfort-food flavor, but it never quite got there. I genuinely wanted to love this place because the people and the atmosphere were wonderful. With a few improvements to the food, I think Magnolia Diner could be really good. I appreciate the hospitality we received and hope the kitchen finds a way to match the quality of the service.

Fairly modern construction. Decorated in vintage movie posters clean and in good repair. Prompt and friendly service. The food was all good, freshly made.
