Bar area of the tavern

We have heard about Magnolias Tavern and we're excited to try it out. I'm glad we did! We have amazing meals and delicious drinks. The service was incredible. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly. The vibe of this place is local whiskey bar with and emphasis on local. It feels like a place you would meet friends and neighbors to hang out and enjoy authentic southern food and drinks. Very pleased with every part of our experience.

This was a late night stop for us after traveling from up North. We got there around 8:30 and they were closing at 10:00. Starting with "The Good". The food was amazing. Burgers, sandwich, wedge salad with chicken, and the Mac and cheese. My beer was good, my wife's drink was good. The bar wall and presentation is awesome and impressive as a great display. "The Not So Good" my daughter's sprite was flat, even after asking for a new one and letting them know it was flat. The service was fine with a hint of "we want to go home, so we won't offer anything extra" so that kinda made our experience less than we would had hoped for.

Magnolia Fried Chicken with Tavern sides and Mac & cheese

My husband and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. During this hour, it was free sitting so we picked our own seats. The server quickly came by to take our drinks and food order. We decided to order a few appetizers: pork belly burnt tips and chicken wings alongside the Magnolia fried chicken (with tavern fries and mac & cheese) to share. We asked for all of the food to come out at the same time. The chicken wings were okay, and the pork belly burnt tips were very flavorful. But the star of the show must be the tavern fries. The popcorn chicken was nice and juicy and packed with flavor and the dipping sauce made it much more amazing. We sat at the bar on high chairs. The bar was nicely stocked and looked amazing. There are tv's playing all sort of sports for you to choose from. Overall, it was a nice lunch.

Absolutely enjoyed every bit of our visit! The server, Alexis, was so helpful and friendly. The shrimp and grits were perfect. The grits were creamy, seasoned well, and comforting. Best I've had in the PNW by far. My husband said "The Burger" was exceptional. And those collard greens...tender and spiced just right. Not to be missed. I'm not a bourbon fan usually, but I tried the Up in Smoke and thought the pairing with a candied bacon strip on top was definitely in my top 3 of favorite cocktails I've tried. The dining and bar area are welcoming with touches of the south throughout. I especially liked the fireplace area with cozy couches to relax in when our weather turns colder. The music overhead gave a happy, party vibe. We can't wait for our next visit.

They actually have last call at 10:30

Frustrated that their website doesn't reflect actual hours and when we said something they snottily said its been 2 years cool change your shit

Pine state with waffle instead of biscuit.

I had really high hopes for this place. Sadly this wasn't the brunch I had hopes for. When we arrived, we were waiting to be seated.. only for the server to run inside from outside. Then switching servers. Order food and my biscuit was substituted with a waffle. They give me 50% off my entree after I said that it wasn't a good sub. everything just felt rushed, not genuine.. and if you're gonna spend the money, go somewhere else.

Tavern Fries ( without meat),

New place to try! North East Vancouver off of Padden Parkway. Magnolia Tavern behind Walgreens on the corner, was a nice place to stop and grab something to eat. We were greeted and we chose our own table. Magnolia Tavern is a nice and clean bar and grill, with a patio outside for extra seating. We like dark beers and they happen to have 2, a Milk Porter and a Peanut Butter Stout they were delicious . It happened to be a Friday and Happy Hour! So we ordered from the Happy Hour menu. Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Tavern Fries, and Buffalo Cauliflower, all were great. Our server was great and attentive. Give Magnolia Tavern a try!

Is this establishment Kid friendly?

I don't have children, but I would say yes. Both times I've been I've see children there. They've got the "family side" then the bar side. Not sure if you read the reviews…

The menu has a variety of burgers to try, sandwiches, appetizers, and salads. They have a small selection of beer on tap. I decided to try the traditional burger. I ordered it with grilled onions. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The burgers are big and can be split between two people. The fries were tasty. They had seasoning in them and were the right about it crisp. We were well taken care of by our server. She was very friendly and attentive. Overall, my first time at Crave Grill was great!

Menu selections were many --- burgers, fish & chips, tacos, hummus. Love the healthy options. It was lunch hour and they were busy. It wasn't too loud in there so we could hear each other and have fun talking while waiting for our food. Restaurant is small and kitchen smaller but they seemed like the staff was managing fine. I would like to comment on the visibility of this location. Since it's tucked away and a spa is in the front I didn't see it and had to turn around. Consider additional flags to add to where you're at because GPS tells us it's right there and it's not RIGHT there. I decided on fish tacos and I couldn't taste the fish. It felt like I was eating cole slaw in a soggy crispy taco shell. Consider deleting this item or improving how you make fish tacos. Too much greens and mayo where you can't taste the fish. Overall food, service and ambiance was okay.

First off, what a stylish, refined-yet-casual atmosphere. Love the layout of the restaurant; it was bright and spacious. They have a variety of tables and booths for various party sizes, plus outdoor dining! All the staff were smiling, kind, and friendly! Our food and drinks came out very quickly. We ordered a good share of items since we wanted to try a variety of things! From the happy hour menu, we got the Boudin Balls and Romaine Wedge Salad. From their dinner menu, we ordered the Virginia Ham Deviled Eggs (upgraded), Local Fried Green Tomatoes, Yellow Grits, Crawfish Etouffee, and Chicken and Waffles Two Pieces. It was my first time trying most of these things. My favorite app was the fried green tomatoes; they weren't wet, were nicely breaded, and were well seasoned. All the fried items were perfectly fried! The eggs, since we upgraded to trout roe, were very salty. The boudin balls were dense, savory, and meaty--not my personal favorite. I enjoyed trying the grits, but my favorite was the crawfish! It was sweet and savory, the sauce was a good consistency, and the portion was generous. The chicken and waffles were fabulous--I can see why they're popular! I don't normally eat this, but it was the perfect mix of savory and sweet; I loved the sweet potato too! Screen Door is a popular spot in Portland, and I can see why! It's a must-visit for visitors and tourists. You'll find it in the Pearl District, off Couch Street.

Of everything we ordered, the shrimp and grits and the fried chicken and biscuits with mushroom gravy were divine. Definitely worth the wait! We got the summer scramble and it was decent.
