Inside is a huge bar and looks like all seating is at the bar. It had a Key West/marine/beach vibe to it and they play great music. The staff was attentive and friendly. Was given their house potatoes and Cole slaw with the Fish n Chips and everything was delicious. Very generous portions, food comes out hot and cooked perfectly. My second visit was just as delightful. Had the Shrimp Boil platter with corn, sausage and garlic toast. It was super yummy! Highly recommend!

Even better than Mr Bs Bistro in New Orleans. Pair that with their free potato salad and coleslaw, and get their French bread loaf to dip into the sauce. That's an unforgettable meal. The bread is hot and fresh with a buttery soft center and crisp exterior crust. Start with their charcoal oysters. Again. Best I've ever had. No joke. And to top it off the blackened branzino from their Friday special. I can't wait to get back there. As if the food wasn't enough, their service is top notch. A true 5 star restaurant experience crammed into a mom and pop hole in the wall price.

I haven't eaten at Magnolia 23 in a few years and was in Asheboro so I decided to try it again. The…read morerestaurant was full at lunch time but we didn't have trouble getting a table. The server was really nice and gave us plenty of time to order. I ordered the fried chicken smothered in gravy. It was good but I felt like the gravy was a bit lacking. I really loved the Mac and cheese! I also ordered a cup of chili and it was good but not amazing. We ended the meal with a piece of fried apple pie. It was very good! It wasn't too sweet but had a great apple flavor. Overall a good experience but it could have been better.

If you ever find yourself lucky enough to be served by Kat, you're in for something special--and I…read moredon't say that lightly. From the moment we sat down, Kat brought a level of energy, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality that completely elevated our experience. She doesn't just "take orders"--she reads the room, anticipates needs before you even realize them, and makes every guest feel like a VIP. It's a rare skill, and she has it in spades. Her drink recommendations were spot-on--thoughtful, tailored, and clearly backed by real knowledge of her craft. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows in every detail, from presentation to taste. Even during busy moments, she never seemed rushed or overwhelmed--just focused, friendly, and completely in control. What stood out most, though, was her attitude. Kat has that natural ability to connect with people--warm, personable, and effortlessly engaging without ever being overbearing. It's the kind of service that turns a good night out into a memorable one. Management should know: Kat isn't just doing her job--she's setting a standard. Employees like her are the reason customers come back and recommend a place to others. Give that woman the recognition she deserves.

Yum! I can't wait to go back and try items from the menu. The menu sounds delicious! Service was outstanding. Ambiance is giving French Country Farmhouse vibes. Love it!

We randomly decided to stop in Asheboro on a roadtrip and I'm happy we landed on this restaurant!…read moreIt has a pretty weird smell when your first walk in but you get used to it pretty quick. The place has a very interesting and quirky vibe. I really loved all the pig art and sports decor around the place. They also have a few TVs so it was nice to have a chance to catch up and watch some NFL games. I love trying random things and have never heard of fish dogs before so I had to try those. Overall it was really good. I love the sauce that it came with and the fish was very crispy. The buns could've been a little bit softer but it wasn't a deal breaker. The seasoned fries also had a really good cajun seasoning on them. The only thing better than the food was the service. Out server was also pretty quirky in the best way possible. She had a very happy and welcoming vibe. She was extremely nice and attentive throughout the meal and made sure we had everything we needed.

Brewskie's offerings are quite expansive, with a HUGE selection of flatbreads, wraps, quesadillas,…read moresides, smoothies, coffees, teas, as well as, much to my confusion, cosmetic treatments such as facials, waxes, and massages. I really didn't know what to make of it all, and worried the food wouldn't be very good, since their focus seemed split in several directions. However, I tried several different things on the menu, and most of them did not disappoint. We split a Green Bacon Flatbread and Cajun Chicken Quesadilla, and I also got a side of mac and cheese and a strawberry smoothie. The flatbread was pretty good, although it did JUST taste like bacon. I ate it with ranch, which they do well. I suspect their other flatbreads (which they have a LOT of) are less one-note, but I'll never know, because I would just order this one again. The quesadilla was great, and the chicken was well-seasoned. They also season the outside of the tortilla, and I appreciated the extra kick of flavor. This came with sour cream and a salsa verde. The mac and cheese was mild, creamy, and chock full of pepper. Usually I like a sharper cheese flavor, but I enjoyed it. Smoothies were extremely cheap (under $5 for a 16 oz), but unfortunately we got what we paid for. They were wayyyy too sweet for our tastes, and not a lot of any fruit flavors came through. Our server was kind, attentive, and quick. The interior was very spacious and I noticed several people with laptops out doing work while they drank coffee. It's a nice space.

It's hardly ever both in my experience. Service met the expectation. She was attentive and kept my drink full. I ordered Chicken Pie or Chicken Casserole (I'm honestly not sure what the difference is. It's a LOCALS favorite, not found in surrounding cities. I think some places call it pie and others call it casserole and I've even seen both items on the same menu). It may have been either the last serving left, scraped off the edges of the pan or it was made on a previous date and re-heated. The same with the mashed potatoes. There were hard crunchy bits of potatoes like it had been sitting out for a day or so and I got the scrapings from the side of the pan. They were not fresh. The gravy wasn't bad. The green beans were straight out of a can and seasoned with bacon or some kind of pork. They served both biscuits and cornbread. I took a bite out of the biscuit and didn't eat the cornbread. From the outside, I thought this was going to be different than what I saw on the inside. They serve breakfast here too and from the reviews and pictures, looks like breakfast may be what keeps this place open. Or the desserts. They do have a huge selection of desserts at the front entrance and they looked good. I don't think I'll be back. Not because of the service but because of quality and cleanliness.
