News has perfected the ancient art of burger-craft…read more As I entered I was struck by imagery; specifically the old-fashioned bar, the dim lighting, the sports memorabilia reflecting golden-age teams. This combined with the delicate chatter of the patrons left me with a ghostly feeling indeed. I had stepped into the 1950s via the twilight zone. I saw an old man in a black and white checkered hat reading a paper, a waitress in a red long skirt with a white apron making coffee, ash-trays filled and emitting a spectral mist. I heard the faint air of big-band music and the ringing and thuds of the iron cash register... "Can we help you!" I heard the friendly waitress say to me as I snapped out of my ghostly vision. I was seated promptly and handed a simple menu. I like simple menus. One page. Direct. "No time for your indecisive nature" is the message it communicates. More practically, it is a good sign that the cooks know at least a few dishes and know them well. The cooks at New's didn't know their craft well, they may as well stop what they are doing and write a treatise on how to make one hell of a burger. Bare with me as I attempt to describe it through this limited medium we know as Yelp. Served round, drizzled with oil and salt, the circular hand cut fries hit a home-run. They were like the ones you make at home but far better than the ones you make at home. There's always some arrogant ass-hole at the table who likes to tell others they make better things at home. They are lying. These fries prove it. Tall. It was one of those tall burgers. You know what I'm talking about. The veggies are so crisp that it elevates the top layer bun into the air. The beef graciously extended well outside the circumference of the bun. The burger's dimensions and construction was as flawlessly executed as it was fantastic. Aside from the dimensions, the first bite made me pause. I paused and internally exclaimed, "God bless America!" It is a sacrilege to compare this burger to that of Wendy's but I am going to anyway. This was a wendy's triple stack on steroids, on human growth hormone, and on its way-to-kick-your-ass kind of good. It would have made men of lesser constitutions cry out, faint, or collapse in place. After the experience, I was left feeling like I had made one of the best decisions of the month by stopping in. I also felt disappointed in leaving the inviting old-time scenery. As I left, I could have swore an old man in a black-and-white checkered hat lower the newspaper and look at me approvingly.

Just picked up 2 lunch plates to go, with 4 veggies and cornbread, no meat. I know the food is…read morepretty good, as we've eaten here before. The bill BEFORE tax was a little over $39. No drinks, 2 vegetable plates and a cornbread; basically just under $20 per plate with no drink. Outrageously expensive by any standard of meat and three place in the south. I asked about the total from the very nice employee there and she explained that there was a .50 charge per plate for to go prep and reminded me that it did include bread. She really was nice. But the price was ridiculous to me. Sorry, New's, but huge thumbs down today.

This was my first time in Mississippi and I wanted to try a local restaurant. I searched Yelp and…read morefound this one, decided to give it a try. The staff was extremely friendly and patient while customers made their selections. You go up to the counter to order & pay and they bring your food out when it's ready. The seating area is large, clean, and has a relaxing vibe to it. We ordered the BBQ ribs & tips w/cabbage & dressing, BBQ ribs & tips w/green beans & yams, and the Chicken & dumplings w/green beans & baked beans. The meals all came with cornbread. The ribs had the perfect amount of smoke flavor & bbq sauce. They were also nice and tender. The sides were all flavorful and nicely seasoned, the cornbread was excellent. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try

Magnolia Restaurant 5/12/15 0200 Very good, 5 stars for…read moresure. This is a restaurant in a truck stop. It is VERY brightly lit by fluorescent lights. The place looks clean and I must say that I was very impressed to walk in at almost 2 in the morning to find a gentleman cleaning the light fixtures and the air conditioning vents. I notice things like that and can't get over the fact that someone was taking the time to do this. Its All-American menu consists of burgers, sandwiches, southern entrees and an extensive breakfast menu. Tables are clean with a single fork in a plastic bag for sanitary reasons. The condiments on the table are an off brand but that is not incredibly important. There appeared to be a sit down counter in front of the kitchen, kind of old school. Ordering was fairly simple, a server comes to the table to take and deliver the order. I had a hamburger combo that could be ordered with either French fries or onion rings; I opted for the fries and sweet tea and added cheese to my burger. MWH had an order of pancakes. Upon delivery, the server let me know that the cook mistook my order for a double. Presentation wise, I was expecting a single patty but was pleasantly surprised (and not charged) with the double. The burger appeared fresh, the patty was formed in house and the fries were hot. In the future, I will ask for the fries to be a little better cooked as they were soggy but hot all the same. MWH's pancakes looked to be hot and fresh. My burger and fries were very greasy, but this is a truck stop and they are known for being a "greasy spoon", I can't say that I was shocked or disappointed. In fact, it was part of the expectation going in so I was not disappointed in that respect either. The quality was exactly what I would expect of a 24 hour truck stop restaurant. I would say that it is a step over other 24 hour all American diners. The server was attentive and checked back often to ensure that we were satisfied and taken care of. On the way out, I continued to observe the cleanliness and was altogether pleased. I will definitely be back and will continue to report on this establishment. Being a server myself, it is nice to have a go to place where I can eat after my restaurant closes; this will be it.
