Oh my! We came here with friends after a night at the casino. This had the best breakfast reviews in Durant and we had high hopes. Inside is a quaint diner type restaurant. They were busy for a Sunday morning but the service was spot on!!! I had the chicken fried steak and eggs that was scrumptious! Every cooked just as I would want and oh boy that CFS was so good! My wife had the cinnamon swirl French toast and loved it. Our friends had the Mexican skillet , which she said was excellent. Even the basic sausage and eggs plate was perfect! Excellent choice for breakfast! read more

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. read more

Food was delicious and fresh. Service was great. Very nice decor and atmosphere. Was great that they gave a cash discount.

Excellent service and terrific food at value prices. We had yummy house made cream of broccoli soup, hamburger steak with gravy, liver and onions, and fried zucchini. Everyone enjoyed everything. It's just good old fashioned country cooking with fresh quality ingredients and skilled cooks. I'm sorry I was too full to order dessert because the pies and cakes looked delicious. Recommended. read more

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. read more

We loved this cafe!!!! Thank goodness service was terrible at Jimmys Egg, Customers told us to walk out & we did! Magnolia cafe had the very best service best waiter I have had in a long time! Food was fast excellent and not overpriced! Cute cafe with plenty of room! Would love to return next time we are in your state! read more

Great little spot for breakfast. Great food. Reasonably priced. Seems to be a favorite with the locals as well.

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. read more

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. read more

We drove here for breakfast last Saturday. We ordered an omelet with vegetables and added sausage. It was a very good omelet. The price was good! Very nice place read more

What an amazing experience. Magnolia brings up certain expectations. This place didn't fit those images. I looked at the menu and was f impressed. I got the chicken strips and my wife got fried catfish. Those chicken strips were amazing. Absolutely the best I've ever had. The fried catfish was equally amazing. And their French fries - so crisp and good. After I was stuffed, I saw their pies. I so wanted to get a piece of pie to go but we're on the road. Even though the restaurant didn't meat my Magnolia expectations, it was a charming place. The wait staff enhanced the charm. The blond girl who took care of us did a great job. read more

Fantastic food in a small space with awesome service and more than reasonable pricing! The portions are ample and everything is just like mama cooked it. We stopped in for dinner one night and liked it so much that we came back for breakfast the next morning. The fried fish, chicken fried steak, pinto beans, and homemade ranch from the dinner menu are definitely something to write home about. The buttermilk pancakes that you can get all day are some of the best I have had, and I have had A LOT of pancakes in my lifetime. & Don't even get me started on those sinful hand pies. Lord help us when it comes to those! Just an awesome experience all the way around. 10 out of 10 would and will recommend to anyone I know headed to Durant. Last but not least - huge shout-out to Cadence and Nikki who both provided exceptional service! Y'all (and whoever is cooking in that kitchen!) are the real MVP's. read more

The rating is based more so on where it's located. There's not a whole lot in Durant as far as restaurants go so this one was relatively good. Ordered the biscuits and gravy - that was pretty average. Also ordered the breakfast tacos and there was 5/5. The salsa could've used some work but combined with Cholula it did the job just fine. Would definitely come back! read more

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. read more

Quick service and a delicious omelet with hash browns!! Would recommend and definitely come back next time I pass through Durant!

Excellent breakfast and clean everything was cook great.Service was excellent will go back. Highly recommend for breakfast!!!!

Venturing out to try something local proved to be a great experience! My husband's meat lovers omelet and cup of beans with cornbread were a perfect harmony of flavors. The beans were incredibly flavorful and the cornbread was simply divine. His omelet was a true delight! We also had the opportunity to try the French toast, which was absolutely delicious! I opted for the chicken fried steak, and it was tender, flavorful, and had a light, crispy batter. The tomato basil soup was a creamy, dreamy blend of flavors, with generous chunks of tomato. While the fried zucchini wasn't bad, it lacked a personal touch. Fortunately, the salad was fresh, crisp, and paired beautifully with the ranch dressing, which tasted remarkably homemade - as a ranch dressing snob, I truly appreciated this! read more

After a 2 hr 45 min drive out of OKC I arrived in Durant. We quickly accomplished our work and then set our sites on a places to eat. I did my usual Yelp search and did look at Magnolia Cafe among others. However, my colleague said he had been here previously and food was good.r have been the first time I was undecided about lunch but ultimately decided on the Wednesday Special. The discussion was Egg Noddles w/Beef Tips asking with a side salad. Everything was quite tasty. Unfortunately I passed on dessert. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting and we had about the best waitress - Nikita!! Not sure when business will take me back but I'll be sure to check into Magnolia's again! read more

I travel for a living. I try to avoid chains and look for that family restaurant in any town I'm in. Magnolia is the one for Durant. Huge portions, great food and really fair prices. I'm hoping to eat my way through the menu in the coming months read more

Food was excellent, service excellent. I saw the rating and thought we would try. The price is good. Meals with sides under 15 daily special is 10.99. If you like home cooking you'll love this plac read more

I am from out of town visiting Lake Durant- placed an order togo today. I travel for work and love to support local- Bill was $27 ($30+ with tip) for 3 chicken strips, fries, and a Philly Cheesesteak. The Philly looked like garlic bread with some meat tossed on it. They forgot my side with the Philly but was already back at my Airbnb when I realized. Food tastewise was pretty decent. Called to ask if they could maybe sub the side or refund and it just kept ringing. Surely did not feel like it was worth the price or wait time. If your from out of town- I would skip the wait and check out Freddy's Steakburgers! read more

Service and food were TERRIBLE! Do not recommend! Def not worth the money. Mead Restaurant is 100x better than Magnolia.

Amazing service, and delicious food! I requested my hash browns to be extra crispy on both sides (you can't over cook them for me) and they came out barely cooked. I asked the waitress if there was any way they could be cooked more as I hadn't touched them and she said she told the chef she didn't think the hash browns were cooked enough. She brought them back to the kitchen and a little later the chef himself came out with them to make sure they were done to my liking and they were perfect. He was delightful. All the staff was wonderful and on it. Our server (I wish I could recall her name) kept the water and coffee filled up and it was really busy! I would definitely recommend stopping at Magnolia Cafe. It's a great place to start the day after a concert at the Choctaw Casino the night before, or for any reason...Just go! You won't be disappointed. read more

Every time we go here it's a great experience. The waitstaff is so nice and they are great about accommodating any request. The food is always on point. I always go back because I have never had any bad experiences read more

We're here visiting from Texas and found this wonderful breakfast spot. Service is the best. Our waitress was outstanding and so were the guys in the kitchen. (Emily was waitress, according to receipt.) My wife sent her hash browns back because she likes them almost burnt. The gentleman from the kitchen made sure my wife was happy. Which, of course, makes me happy. Our breakfast was great and the service is the best. Next time I'm in town, you will find me here! read more

I like to eat lite, so a lot of green leaf salads. But, quality lettuce is hard to find in many resturant s, But Magnolia had the prettiest salad with the "good" lettuce! YAY! No belching iceburg!! While my hubby is a fan of their catfish (especially when it is all-you-can eat! Lol) Service was good, with plenty of servers, and environment was standard lunch rush for the time we were there. read more

The service was quick and food came out fast! Maybe in 10-15 minutes. The restaurant has a quaint country vibe and feels like my small hometown. My brother ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger which had maybe the best fries I've ever had - they were thin and extremely crispy with the perfect crunch to potato ratio. I got the chicken fried steak w a pancake on the side. The pancakes were extremely tasty with a classic diner buttermilk taste. The chicken fried steak was exactly what I expected and had a good crunch from the batter without being too thick or oily. The hashbrowns could've been a bit more crispy but the over easy eggs were cooked perfectly! My sister got the Jackpot combo which came with two slices of bacon, two slides of sausage, a piece of ham, 2 eggs, hash browns, and 2 pancakes. I was impressed with the portion sizes and the reasonable pricing - it was refreshing to have a good deal compared to Austin dining prices! Overall great experience and exceeded my expectations for such a small town in OK! read more
