   I can’t understand why there are negative reviews here. We’ve been several times now and had a great experience each time. Wait staff is on top of it. Burgers are kid approved- she’s the one that’s asked to go back 3 times in the past 2 weeks! We’ve also had a couple different chicken sandwiches and both were excellent. Drinks are solid and well-priced. There’s a cute outdoor seating area, unfortunately it’s right next to the main access road so it’s VERY loud, I’d definitely recommend sitting inside. A great choice for family dinner!

   We could not find a new place to try on a very nice weekend evening and did not want to travel downtown. Knowing nothing about the place we decided to take a chance on Magnolia. Couldn’t have been more impressed. The gumbo was very good and the linguini was amazing. Very extensive drink menu. Will definitely return soon!!

   Are tavern fries supposed to be cold? Mine were. Our server was abrupt, which made it seem like he was locked in other things other than a good customer experience. Putting the preceding aside the rest of the food was good. The tavern's atmosphere was nice.

   The food was ok and service was ok. I wouldn’t say we had a “bad” experience, just mediocre.

   First time there and won’t be the last! Amazing food. I had the Creole Linguine and my wife had the Lobster Roll. We were both very please and I was very pleased with the beer selection. Can’t wait to go back! Cheers

   Loud, anebriated customers kept the noise level high, despite few guests in the building. Two happy hour food choices were not available, but waitress offered a similar item from dinner menu at a happy hour price. Waitress seemed harried and hurried. Food was average, although one cocktail was excellent.

   Enjoyed a 4 course Valentine’s Day meal- Creole linguini and lobster étouffée were delicious! Pork belly burnt ends, Caesar salad, and limoncello cake were just as tasty. The atmosphere was nice and our waitress was wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!

    The fried chicken sandwich was phenomenal. I got the beer cheese soup for a side and was disappointed. It was like water with no flavor. It should have been thick and flavorful. I will not order soup again as it needs some improvement. Otherwise great food!
