I have a friend who went to college in Charleston, so when I decided that it would be a stop on my road trip from NY – FL, I knew that I had to ask him where to have dinner. We were only there for one night, so it was important that we had some good old fashioned southern comfort food. Magnolia’s is located on East Bay Street in downtown Charleston. Its a gorgeous, white table cloth restaurant— southern food meets refined, upscale dining. It has delicious, mouthwatering food. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything that you order, the menu is the epitome of southern food, with a few twists here and there.
Our Menu:
Everything was perfect. The meal left me satisfied and I dreamed about that fried mac & cheese later that night. But food isn’t the only thing that makes a restaurant a good one. Its also about the service. Our waiter was fantastic. He was so friendly, and made sure that we were always being taken care of. He came by to make sure that we loved everything, even telling us, “I KNEW YOU’D LOVE THE MAC & CHEESE, IT’S MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!!!” There was so much enthusiasm coming from him and it was nice to know that he genuinely cared about our meal.
I would love to try Magnolia’s again for either lunch or brunch, because I think that I have to take a bite out of their Charleston Crab Cake Sandwich (green tomato-caper sauce), and the Banana Pudding Stuffed French Toast (peanut butter syrup, applewood smoked bacon).
I plan on returning to Charleston, and Magnolia’s will become a fixture for me!
