    The decor is on point.
    Fred M.

    My beauty decided to go to Choctaw for a get-away (we don't gamble) and we slept in at the hotel across the highway and missed the free breakfast. She found the Magnolia on Yelp and wanted to go. They didn't disappoint. Old town feel driving in, reminded me of my home town growing up. Great people, great food. Sometimes, we just need to settle down and relax. You can here. We loved it and will go back the next time we stay over.

    Side Salad

    Mother's Day, we knew what to expect. Every restaurant in America would be packed. The strategy for eating at Magnolia Café, get there early, before church lets out in the small town of Durant. This strategy was flawed. Every family took mom out for breakfast. The parking lot was overflowing. Little hopes of getting in quickly, but willing to deal with the wait. Surprise, Magnolia Café had a couple of booths open. The restaurant was prepared, staffed, organized for the event. The varsity team waitstaff. "They were on their A-game!" There were several specials. The waitress suggested the Chicken Fried Chicken. Sold! Make it two, with green beans and mashed. A side salad for me with Thousand Island. There was almost as much dressing as there was salad. No slackers in the kitchen either. The restaurant was packed, yet our food arrived in minutes. The food is magnificent, small-town diner excellent. The service attentive and friendly. These folks know how to run a restaurant.

    Satisfied customer!

    We were looking for a restaurant that wasn't a chain; home cooking in this part of the country is great, and this place has it. I grew up in Oklahoma, didn't know that Durant was the Magnolia capital. Had actually never been to Durant before. This place has liver and onions! How often do you find that these days. The decor was fun - magnolia theme of course. Service was good, and so was the food.

    So my buddy and I usually end up at Choctaw Casino on a regular basis, and we often have vouchers for free food. Today, we didn't, so we headed into Durant and discovered the Magnolia Cafe. This place is a real gem. It's very homey and comfortable. The staff are all very friendly. The menu had a lot of comfort food available, including breakfast served all day. The food was excellent. My buddy had a burger and fries. The burger was decent size with a respectable amount of fries. I had the chicken fried steak, which came with a choice of potatoes, pinto beans or the vegetable of the day, side salad or the soup of the day, plus Texas Toast. The chicken fried steak appeared to be hand breaded and properly cooked. It was decent size and plenty of cream gravy. The prices were especially good and reasonable. If you find yourself at the casino, or are just passing through, this is definitely worth the stop.

    Double crispy fries

    The food is great! Definitely ask for the fries to be double crispy! The pies are other desserts are great too!

    Liver and onions

    Good service, clean restaurant, friendly staff. Stopped in on our way out of town from Dallas. Very busy when we pulled up, parking is definitely an issue for this hopping place. Luckily someone was pulling away when we pulled in. Deserts looked fantastic but we were too full and watching our figures . I would stop back in and try something different next time.

    We visited Salt & Stone for dinner on 3/14/26. This is a steak house at the Choctaw Casino and we…read morechose it because the menu looked good and the prices were high but reasonable so we expected a good experience. We didn't love it. Let me explain. Once inside it feels more diner like. The waitress seemed discombobulated and not as polished as you would expect. We ordered two round of drinks and both were very slow to come out. We almost cancelled the second round because we were done eating and still hadn't recieved them. I think the wait staff may have to make their own cocktails so that may be why it's so slow, I'm not sure though. Let's talk food. We ordered the ribeye with brussel sprouts and carrots. It was very mid. It was a $60 steak so we expected more. It came off as a steak from chilis. It also had a peppercorn sauce on top that wasn't the best. Veggies were good and tender. We also ordered the gnocchi. That dish was a success delicious. We absolutely recommend that one but we can't recommend the steak. The ambience was a mix of an attempt at high end and diner. See my pics and you will understand. We won't go back and we usually try a place twice before we make that decision. Food 7/10 - because the gnocchi was delicious Ambience 7/10 - mix of upscale and casual is strange Wait staff- 7/10

    Shaky Start due temporarily losing my mind, wallet, and taking weird pictures and videos…read more Probably one of the best bar experiences I've ever had .. 5 star everything. Learnt a lot of the Cherokee Nation and how much they care about their people . Russell & Christine are 100 percent down for their community and company they work for. So open and free met some cool new humans. Stories of Richard Nixon, California, and Oklahoma greatness.. Such a interesting interesting family.. Diamonds in the rough I'll come again just because they honored my Veteran Status. My day was turned bright due to staff up in this place can't wait to come back..

    I pass through Durant regularly going from Tulsa, OK to Dallas, TX. This trip was no different…read moreexcept I had a group of guys and we were on our way home from a fishing trip on Lake Texoma. Mind you, we're all regular guys, but each of us are uniquely well travelled as professionals in our fields. On our way home we saw a couple of billboards that called this restaurant out as nationally acclaimed. None of us had been here before so we thought we'd try it out. We all were served hot food and left with full bellies, but much was to be desired. I am not here to speak poorly of this locally owned and operated dining establishment but I'll say it did leave much to be desired. The service was good however. I must say the hostess seated us promptly and our server was friendly but that's about as good as it got for me. The restaurant itself seemed oddly dim or not lit very well. We were in around 1 PM on a Saturday and it was, well, dingy. The menus were falling apart, our table and chairs didn't look like they'd be in use much longer and the overall appearance on the side wasn't much better. The food did come out piping hot as expected for a Mexican restaurant. I'll give them kudos for that. The food we all had though wasn't all that good despite the gargantuan portions. They do give you a ton of food here. One friend ordered a 'small' plate of nachos and I think 3 of the 4 of us could have filled up on that alone! Everything to me tasted canned and not fresh. This for me takes away from any dining experience. I like freshly prepared food. I am good with canned if it's done well and doesn't at least taste like it's fresh from a can or bag or from the freezer. So overall, this wasn't a horrible place to eat, but I had higher expectations. Odds are I won't stop in here again, but don't let my opinion alone be a reason to not try this place out. I'd encourage anybody to stop in and give it a whirl. You may like it where I didn't. And take advantage of the free queso for checking in on yelp!
