Okay I just learned about this place today. Another and I ended up at the same restaurant in Bartlett which was closed, but it was supposed to be open today. As we talked, she said that she normally goes to Marvin's the place we were at was closer today. Well, we decided to head over to Marvin's Kitchen. This would be my first time and maybe her 30th. Marvin's is a small grocery store/hot food line with the normal meals POC expect. We call it, "some good eating." Space is limited, but I was happy to see the business thriving. I was told to expect a line out the door. Well, she didn't lie; the line was out the door. I waited outside maybe 10 minutes before making it inside. Due to COVID-19, a person mans the door to only allow a certain number of people inside. There is no menu. You order what is available on the hot line or cold sandwiches perhaps. I placed two orders. The lines backed up due to people waiting for a specific item. As I waited for my food, I asked the young to confirm my order; she had moved plates around and may have gotten them mixed up. I asked to confirm my two kore times before it was wrapped and put in a bag. Well well well, I get home and one order was wrong. UGH!! Nevertheless, I wasn't driving back to correct the order. I ate what I had and enjoyed the sides, but not happy with the meat. I would not have selected the pork and it was over cooked to me. The second plate was correct, and it was also good. Despite a wrong order, I will go back again and verify my order by site next time. The food was really good, the staff was moving quick and they were courteous. The space is tight, but manageable. I will definitely recommended Marvin's.

Ham hocks, greens and dressing. Delicious  I started on the ham hock because it was so tender and good.

Stopped by after picking family up at the airport. Great food and service! Don't let the outside appearance keep you from eating here.

This place is just wonderful. We came at the height of the day around 11:30 and 15th in line! Time…read morepassed and we were finally seated after maybe a good hour and some change. Marissa our server was nice and offered suggestions which I loved because we, a party of four wanted to try everything. The vibe was very nice. It was busy but not chaotic. The washroom is very nice and spacious and good mirror ladies, wink, wink. The food was amazing. The flavors, the presentation and the taste was 10 out of 10. We had favorites and of course but overall a good brunch spot and low key worth the hour plus wait. The staff was pleasant and smiled walking by and someone came with tab on wait time for food and the price point is excellent. This place has screened in patio seating, main dining area and a bar and still seemed comfortable and cozy. This place is definitely worth the hype!

We did see that there's plenty of tables available and figured it might be due to understaff. Overall service was very slow. From being seated to taking orders and food being served. Unfortunately my egg Benedict came with the eggs being soft boiled rather than runny. Other than that, it's decent compared to the other outlet.

I hate to be that guy, but there is no way this is a 5 star place. Let's just be real here. I can…read morelet anything below slide if the food is good. It's like if Cousin Eddie opened a place on the inside. I am not hating. I am just saying. Hell, I kind of dig it if I am being honest. It's like a flea market blew up in there in a way. I hope I am painting a good picture for you. I am not going to be a complete asshole and talk too bad about the unfortunate dental situation with the server we had both times, but it's less than ideal to say the least. It has to be painful. Poor thing. I do realize it's Old Towne Olive Branch and you only have places like SSB, OBPC, AIP, and a Sonic to really choose from. Taco truck used to be great, but it's not the same now that it's in the Gin. So it's almost a food desert, C had told the place sucked when she tried it with her Mom when it first opened. I kept telling her that it was getting 5 star reviews over and over. So I convinced her to give it another try. My first, her second, visit was actually promising and I had some pretty high hopes of finding a local place to come grab a meal without driving to Collierville or Memphis. We started with the Eggroll/Wings combo. Forget the name now, but it was funny. The wings were pretty damn good. Fried well. Spicy buffalo was all too common, but good nonetheless. The Eggrolls were ok. Basic Reliance brand type stuff. We both had smoked meats on that visit. I had the ribs, and C had the smoked chicken. My ribs were fantastic! Chicken was good too. Beans were not for me, too sweet and thick. Corn Nugz were fried hard and perfect. I am a sucker for corn nuggets man. Slaw was out of a bucket. Baked potato was hard, cold, and old. Meats were either the star of the show here, or I was extremely high already. I don't remember. They did have Killer Hogs white sauce, even though it had expired unopened. Ugh. My second visit was terrible. Everything sucked. My food, C's food, all disgusting. I am pretty sure that what they are serving is NOT catfish. The Hushpuppies were cold and hard and the corn nuggets were underdone and sucked too. The cheesesteak thing was bad too. Just clumped up nasty. Server said the turnip greens were "great", but they were not. No seasoning to speak of, no meat or fat of any kind, just kind "soulless" if you will. We could not leave fast enough. Then our server disappeared like forever. We went to the front and stood at the registers for close to 10 minutes before another server comes and lets us pay for the food we did not eat. Two stars for the smoked meats. Won't be back though. Have fun in OB. Pack a sack lunch. '25 99/111

The place looks like a renovated home that is cozy and comfortable. It is decorated nicely with a country charm vibe. I have been here before for dinner and brunch. The food is delicious and quite filling. I ordered the patty melt that included two meat patties, rye bread, Swiss cheese, jalapeño cheese sauce, caramelized onions and mushrooms. It was divine. The bread was toasted just right. I ate half of it and took the delicious other half of my sandwich home. We also tried the pimento cheese too. It was very yummy!

Great food, beautiful drinks, good energy, and something interactive to enjoy with the other Yelp Elites--it was the perfect combination. Magnolia & May has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to sit back, sip your drink, eat good food, and enjoy yourself. I had an amazing time and would absolutely return. And yes...I'm still thinking about that fried broccoli!
