Magnolia Diner should come with a warning: may cause extreme happiness, food-induced tears, and uncontrollable grinning. The service was so fast I half expected my waitress to have a twin. The place was packed, but somehow still charming--clearly people know that the food here is basically magic on a plate. I had the country fried steak, which was huge and flavorful I briefly considered asking it to marry me. My fiancé got the big breakfast with biscuits and gravy instead of toast, and I swear the eggs, meat, pancakes, and biscuits were all conspiring to ruin every other breakfast I've ever had. Pancakes fluffier than clouds in a Pixar movie with a sweetness you question if it's just a flat cake, biscuits softer than a cloud's hug, and gravy that might actually be liquid happiness. Hashbrowns perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside--basically the Goldilocks of potatoes. If you go to Magnolia Diner and don't leave full, happy, and plotting your next visit, you are either a robot or lying. Highly recommend--you might even forget your own name while eating there. read more

Old fashioned diner, is way bigger than it looks from the outside. We went there because we were close by and decided to try it. I have seen mixed reviews, but we enjoyed the experience. Good amount of food for the price. Give it a try! read more

Small town diner with all the classic american dishes from the 1960s-- all day breakfast, burgers and sandwiches and dinner plates like chicken fried steak and catfish. Fairly modern construction. Decorated in vintage movie posters clean and in good repair. Prompt and friendly service. The food was all good, freshly made. The onion rings stood out with slightly crunchy onions. I ordered the Reuben. Which is corned beef, Sauerkraut, and melted swiss cheese on rye. Excellent. Overall, this is a solid choice if you want to time teavel to a Diner with retro food. read more

9.27.24 We have not been here in a while. We came in for breakfast for dinner. The grits are the best here. I ordered a veggie omelet but took off the tomatoes and bell peppers. It was tasty. The service was ok. We miss Billy. He was a great server. They had a sign saying they were remodeling but we could not tell what they have done. (Can't wait to see the changes!) read more

Been coming here for years and I've always loved it. I have left positive reviews in the past. I just had a roach on my table after having awful service also. Went and told a guy. He came and killed it with his hand and went back to work. Didn't wash ihis hands. Didn't disinfect the table. Nothing. Still took them 10 minutes to get my husband the bill after we had them come get the Roach off our table. I will not be back after having a roach on my table. I walked out. I wasn't sitting at a table with roaches. We should have both walked out. I am so disgusted. I am also disgusted with the way they handled it. Never again I have already contacted the health department by phone (I left a voicemail because it's Sunday ) and email read more

First time here, came on a Sunday morning and it was packed which is fine but the waiting service was horrible. I waited at the door because there was a line, turns out the line was already checked in, waiting to be seated, then I finally got to put my name down and they only call by name so everyone just waits in the front waiting to be called. The food was ok, nothing too crazy but the service could of been better. They never asked for refills or anything. It was cute inside and the food good but just the system and the service really took away from the experience. read more

A basic local diner. Nothing special. Can be a little bit more cleaner. Food is good for what this is. Stop by and check it out.

Always friendly staff and food is good. If you're in a time crunch food is brought to your table in a timely manner.

Nice cafe for family and country food. A little aged, but the waitress was nice. Food was good and plentiful.

Not super impressed, it was okay, slightly over priced for what you get and they charged me for extras and upgraded side dishes but didn't even serve them to us. Wasn't worth arguing over but probably won't come back read more

Horrible customer service‼ While in town visiting Texas and my wife and I stopped her for some breakfast. We were sat down and waited to get served. A family of 5 sat down 10 minutes after us and were served right away and they were right beside us. Im not sure if the waitress was racist or not but it appeared that way. We were ignored and not able to order. There were 3 workers hanging around the front desk. We then walked to the front let them know our concerns paid for our coffee and orange juice and left. read more

This place is super cute! It has a cool retro feel to it. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. We had breakfast there and the food was hot and fresh. The French toast was perfect, and the hamwich was good! The hash browns could have been cooked a bit more but overall we were happy with the experience. We would go back! read more

To give them a fare assessment, I ate there three times. The mashed potatoes and gravy were horrible, they tasted old. The waitress said she was sorry. I forgot and tried them again the next time...same thing. The black-eyed peas...horrible! I asked questions and found out that almost nothing is made from scratch and it shows. I wanted to like something, but, didn't like anything. Why would anyone put this restaurant in the top ten? read more

Traditional dinner with many food options. They have a little bit for everyone, ranging from traditional American to Mexican dishes. Service is always excellent and food is always on point. We've never had a bad dish when coming here. Nothing says small town vibes more than a Saturday morning at Magnolia Diner. It's a favorite of ours. read more

Just what you would expect from a rural community diner. Obviously a local favorite serving up breakfast, lunch,dinner all day long. From the greeting to the payment the service was friendly and comfortable. I ordered the cheesesteak which came with plenty of fries.It was a tough call because I had Rueben on my mind, I glad I went we it because it hit the spot it was delicious and plenty to fill me up. I love cheesesteak and this one was everything I could have hoped for served hot,cheese oozing from side and plenty of grilled onions, mushrooms,peppers to top it off every bite was cherished. I'll be coming this way again soon and will definitely stop in to get that Rueben and enjoy the country charm of it. read more

Old country looking hole in the wall restaurant. Nothing special on the inside; old lumpy booths, dirty carpets and dated nostalgia adorns all the walls. Don't come for the ambiance! The food? Fantastic! My burger came fully loaded on soft roll and the burger was monster size! Upgraded from fries to onion rings for only 59 cents. My costly? $11.59 My girl had the BLT that was chock-full of bacon and all the goodies. I do recommend this place for delicious food. Generous portions and low prices! read more

Magnolia Diner - Menu - Diners Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

"LATE BREAKFAST or EARLY LUNCH" Last Wednesday when we were in Spring, TX we introduced a few friends to "Magnolia Diner" on FM-1488 in Magnolia. My Wife and I have been to the one in Montgomery and Loved Everything we had there. We arrived for an early Lunch and were shown to a table for the 5 of us. Angela is our Server and after looking over the menu we ordered. My Wife is having the "Mini English Breakfast"; 1 Egg (Scrambled), 1 Sausage, 1 Wrights BACON with choices of Hashbrowns ot Toast, chose Hashbrowns. I am having the "Mediterranean Omelette"; Three Egg Omelette filled with Sautéed Baby Spinach, BACON, Tomato & Feta Cheese. Chose as my sides; Hashbrowns & Fruit. Magnolia Diner is a classy Diner done up 50's style with a Hollywood Twist - and it's Awesome. We arrived early and after a short time there were a lot of customers here enjoying what we came for - Great Tasting Food. Soon our food arrived and everyones plate is loaded with Deliciousness. My Wife Loved her Mini English Breakfast and would order it again. My Three-Egg Omelette is nice-n-big and has a lot of Goodies inside. We both Love Hashbrowns and Magnolia does it right - providing you with the Perfect Hashbrown Crunch. The Fruit Bowl is really good, Fresh & Sweetlylicious. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and were filled to the top - no room for the Banana Split. Next time I'm going to order the Banana Split first, then Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Check out Magnolia Diner on Facebook and choose the one you want to go to. They also offer a true "Banana Split" of Yesteryear and it alone is a thing of beauty and a lot of it. Angela earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for providing Excellent Service for our small group. Magnolia is a good distance from where we were but it is worth the drive and it is a Beautiful Drive because you're in Texas. Love You Baby, Bunches & MagnoliaMunches read more

Good, traditional diner in Magnolia. The service was quick and friendly, and the decor was eclectic like you'd expect from a traditional diner. The burgers at lunch were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. It's a shame we don't have something like us near us! read more

It is nice there can get a little crowed at times..Great breakfast menu I believe they service breakfast all day

First time coming into this little diner. We were seated and then forgotten. No one came to take our food order. The hostess that sat us got us water and that was it, we sat for 20 minutes before we decided to leave. There were only like 3 other tables so I don't understand why there was such a wait. read more

We go to Magnolia Diner a LOT and I'm remiss not posting a review before now! We have only gone for breakfast and haven't tried any other items on the menu but, their breakfast is ALWAYS good! It's our go-to for a good breakfast. The portions are very generous. We have tried just about everything in the breakfast menu and they even serve milkshakes for breakfast! (This was important to my son that travels overseas. Breakfast with steak & a milkshake is the first meal when coming home.) The service is super good and sometimes, we get our food so fast that it's almost scary! LOL! The restaurant has the classic diner feel and it has a casual atmosphere. read more

This is a double review because we ate there twice in one day. For breakfast on our way to the Renaissance Festival -- so as not to show up there hungry and be persuaded to buy an $18 turkey leg or a $16 Greek gyro. Their breakfast menu has a great selection and the prices are definitely on point for the amount of food they serve you. What caught my attention was the friendliness of all of the employees. From the young hostess to our server who was friendly and attentive. She expertly kept an eye on us as she passed by serving her other tables. We were never without a drink refill and our meal didn't feel rushed despite most of the tables being occupied. At the checkout, there was a display of handmade earrings for sale very reasonably priced ($6.50 per pair). It was just a good experience. After leaving the Renaissance festival, we were definitely hungry but not ready to pay for more overpriced food. We also had a long drive home. I suggested we stop by Magnolia Diner again. My family agreed. The restaurant was not very crowded but there were three large groups (10+) at each table and some other couples dining. We asked to be seated at the same booth we had been at that morning. The host commented, "where you sat earlier today?" and I gladly explained we had been there that morning and now for dinner. I have to say that by the time we finished our meal, the restaurant was teeming with patrons. We showed up at a time too late for lunch and too early for dinner. We ordered chicken fried steak dinner, fried catfish dinner and grilled catfish dinner with various sides they offered. The service, again, was fast and friendly. The turn around on our food coming to the table was really quick considering how everything was well prepared, had a nice presentation and HOT!! Nothing was lukewarm. My fried catfish fillets were huge, fried crisp but with the fish not over cooked. My first bite had me trying to keep myself from burning my mouth. But the fish was delicate and almost buttery. No one was complaining and everyone enjoyed their food. My Dad was the only one who finished his food. Our server checked to see if we wanted to-go containers and inquired if we wanted dessert. We told her no and she didn't press but when she returned I asked about what was available. So many delicious sounding items but I asked her to bring a peach cobbler and a side of vanilla ice cream and 3 spoons. I explained it was "for the table" and she understood completely: the cobbler was served very warm with ice cold ice cream. The pairing was delicious. She even thought about bringing us iced tea length spoons for us to reach to the middle of the table to share the dessert. All in all, both visits were EXCELLENT. Of course the waitstaff had changed because of the shift. But the personable service, courtesy and attention to detail were on point and present during both visits. The management staff should appreciate the young men and women expertly serving their customers and should commend them for their efforts. It definitely raised our dining experience having them being so good at their job! If I lived any closer, that would be a spot I would visit often. Would like to dine there again sometime in the near future when I have a chance. read more

The waitress we had was very nice and let us move booths after we found out the people near us had been near people with covid! The fettuccine was surprisingly amazing, the chicken and mushrooms were so good! And the chocolate strawberry pancakes were amazing and perfect way to tie of the meal! Thank you guys so much it was a pleasant diner! read more

Restaurant closes earlier than reported time by 30 mins to an hour fairly often (at least twice in the past 4-5 weeks). They either need a second manager or a fill-in or other changes. We really enjoy the food, but this is very disappointing. We were bringing in business or new guests with us fairly often. There isn't much in the area, so actually staying open until the listed time would be good. read more
