The Magnolia Room is an upscale cocktail bar conveniently located on the first floor of the…read moreFairfield Inn in downtown Morganton. The decor inside is nice, with magnolia wood tables that give the space a sophisticated yet cozy feel. A sign posted said that the bar is not owned or operated by the hotel, so you cannot bill your drinks directly to your room tab. Additionally, they serve beverages only, so don't expect any food, appetizers, or light snacks. You will want to eat before you arrive or after. For drinks, they offer a standard selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. While they don't have mocktails explicitly listed on the drink menu, the friendly bartender offered to mix up a non-alcoholic version of their popular "Front Porch Swing" cocktail for me. It was a beautiful, blueberry-flavored mocktail that tasted fantastic. My only real concern is that the space was exceptionally quiet, with only three customers total on a Friday night, which makes me wonder how much regular business they get. However, if you are staying at the hotel and want a beautiful, quiet spot for a premium drink, it is absolutely worth popping in.

So I am biased, but Taylor and Laney make incredible cocktails!read more

This place was delicious…read more Went here for my fiancé's birthday and had a very nice meal. We started with some bread and a round of Pinot noir. I saw the Brussel sprouts appetizer on another table that also seemed inviting. I'll have to get that next time. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. The chicken had a very nice kick to it and was worth the price. My fiancé ordered the shrimp pasta with zoodles. Cooked very well, but it was a little small for me, but not for her. I also know from another member of the party they can even cook a filet mignon Pittsburgh style, so the kitchen has some talent in the back. Also has very nice and attentive staff, and even met the owner. We will definitely come back here again

I got fish and chips and unfortunately, I can say I've gotten better at Applebee's. Our adult children were joining us for dinner and luckily they were late so we ordered when they finally got there we told them to go somewhere else to eat. Our tab was $59.08 and we left a $10 tip on the table. I won't ever go back. when you're Irish and you have a mammy and an aunt Katie, you know how this food is supposed to come out, I was raised on it, thought we were going for some comfort food with my people and boy, was I disappointed. They were out of shepherds pie. That was probably a blessing. The staff was pleasant enough, but not very attentive. Somebody did ask me about my food and she even noticed that my husband's plate didn't look right, but she never made a reappearance. if you order tea it's gonna come in a bottle, if I was told that or if I was presented the bottle unopened, I would've declined it and got a Coke. Was it an off night? No, I think that this was standard operating procedure by the clientele that was in there and I guess when you don't know any better you think it's great, but when you know better, you know it's well below par.

This was my first time having bbq in NC and living in central Texas for a few years now I had thought I was a staunchly beef over pork person for bbq, but boulevard is making me rethink things a bit! Some of the best ribs I've ever had, falls off the bone with no effort what so ever. Incredibly rush and delicious flavor. The chopped bbq was also really good, especially with their white or gold sauces. Their portion sizes are incredibly large. My beans and hush puppies mostly went untouched.

Adding this to my top favorite places in Morganton and absolutely cannot wait to go back!

We skipped breakfast in hopes of filling up on the garlic knots, salad, and pizza. Well...that never happened. We understand "busy" during a special event. However, there was no soda. Only water, Sprite, and sweet tea. Ordered garlic knots and 2 slices after we saw there was a huge wait for food to come out. 1 HOUR!!! After 1 hour we got 2 slices of pizza. Then 15 minutes later the garlic knots. The other 2 slices never showed up. The manager comped the food. That's nice. But, several opportunities to save face and show good customer service were passed over. The "ticket" issue was know long before we sat down. Server was clearly stressed out and overwhelmed. Management was more into socializing in the dining room that getting on the line to pump the food out. The slices we ate were "meh", not super warm and burned cheese on the bottom. Will we give them another chance? Maybe. There are other places with good pizza, like Twin Brothers, that acknowledge service issues when they arise and don't try to explain it away with excuses.
