A Monday night visit to this sprawling sports bar outpost in Asheboro offered a masterclass in how…read morean abundance of resources can be utterly squandered through operational inertia. The floor plan was populated by visibly more staff than actual patrons, yet the service from the bar station was nothing short of dismal--slow, inattentive, and entirely unconcerned with the guest experience. When the floor manager made the rounds seeking feedback, any pretense of honest dialogue was immediately stifled; the beleaguered employees hovered directly over her shoulder like sentinels, ensuring no genuine critique could possibly pierce the protective bubble of supervision. Instead of deploying the heavy staff efficiently, the manager was left playing human chess, actively shuffling employees just to get basic tasks accomplished. The kitchen offered no refuge either, turning out wings that were quite literally the smallest I have ever encountered--puny, over-fried morsels devoid of substance. A dismal outing from start to finish.

Another server sat us, took our drink orders, then another server came along to take our drink orders again and asked us if we got drinks in. We were brought the wrong food at a point. Instructions were also unclear about paying and we couldn't find our server so we had to grab someone else to do so. It was a cute place at a very convenient location, they just really need to get their stuff together internally.

Pretty good food and service every time we go. I love the roasted corn!!!…read more They have a great Chardonnay !! The one negative that bothers me everytime we visit- there is a man that is always in there. If sports are on, he stands up and yells at the tv. I feel sorry for the wait staff because he seems to constantly aggravate them. It makes me always check where we sit when he is in there.

If I could give this place ten stars, I would. You will have a wait when you get there, and you…read morewill wait no matter how long it takes. You cannot find a better place for a meal, or more kind folks running the place from top to bottom. And if your plate is too big to finish, feel free to take it home, because you'll want to save room for dessert. Magnolia 23 is a staple in our household. So long as we've lived within a 30 minute drive, it has been a great place for a Sunday lunch, or any other meal within the hours they are open. They treat you like family from the very start with the way that they take names for the line. It's natural to start a conversation with the people around you, because everyone has the same end game - a great meal. Once you're seated, it's never long before a waitress comes and takes your drink order. The menu for the day is posted on Facebook and written on the board on the wall, along with the sides and dessert options. There's no menus because it's a meat and two sides, plus a bread of either roll or cornbread. The seating is tables and chairs, although some areas have couches for seating, which is a nice change of pace. Today I got stewed beef with sides of mac and cheese, yams, and bread choice was cornbread. My other half got the country style steak, with sides of cabbage and rice with gravy, and bread of cornbread. The littles shared a fried chicken plate with side of mashed potatoes with gravy. They divided and conquered their food so fast I forgot to snag a picture of it. The stewed beef was perfection. So tender, and the juices went well with the cornbread. The yams were expertly spiced, and prepared with so much love. The mac and cheese was delicious, so I offered some to my youngest who promptly stole the rest of it. I did sample the country style steak, and it was so delicious that none was spared. I cannot wait to eat my leftover stewed beef later this week, as I knew I wanted to save room for dessert. We ordered two fried apple pies, and a slice of Hershey bar cake. Be careful with the fried pies - the filling turns into molten lava when heated, so despite the fact that you'll want to take the largest first bite, please be patient and spare your taste buds from their imminent demise by letting it cool a minute. The spices on the apple filling on the fried pies were perfect, and I savored every bite that I stole from my husband. My dessert was the Hershey bar cake, which I split with one of my littles. It didn't have a thick layer of icing, which was great. The cake had a nice crumb, and was sweet without being overly sweet. If you haven't been here yet, make sure to take note of their hours and then take a trip to Asheboro. Once you've finished your meal, feel free to take a stroll around downtown and know that you've just had the best meal around. Magnolia 23 is worth the price and worth the wait, because you will be blessed by the whole experience.

While visiting Asheboro to see the zoo we found Magnolia 23 and its stellar ratings as our family…read moredinner spot. I can say with confidence this restaurant deserves every accolade given here! We found parking easily behind the building and were given a warm and friendly welcome while walking up the stairs to the cozy porch before we even stepped inside. We arrived early since we knew this place was popular so luckily we had no wait on a Friday evening! We decided to try the catfish, fried chicken, and chicken & dumplings as our meats and a various assortment of the sides including collards, slaw, Lima beans, green beans, potatoes, corn bread and rolls. Absolutely every bite was inhaled, sadly I even missed a chance to take any pictures and my kids (7&9) couldn't stop remarking about how delicious everything was! The chicken & dumplings sold out right after we ordered so we felt lucky to try it too. The service was stellar and quick. HThe owner greeted many of the guests by name and took the time to chat with us and discovered our Wilmington connection- it was so refreshing to see this type of family run farm to table establishment and exchange local foodie recommendations. Next time we will definitely be leaving room for dessert!

My stomach instantly turned after eating it, my mom agreed it was atrocious. I highly recommend staying away from this place it's absolutely trash.
