Loved the fried avocado (appetizer). 1 good all round choice for vegetarians (a veggie platter that is made up of a little of everything vegetarian on the menu).

great southern food 12/8/2007

This is one of my favorite places in Cambridge. As a Southerner who has been up here many years, I really appreciate Southern cooking that goes beyond ""soul food"" - which I love as well. more

Food is OK. Owner (John) is a complete A-HOLE !!! One of the rudest people i have come across. I love good food, but not at the price of supporting this j-off!! I am in a line of work where i talk to 20 small biz owners a day and sample alot of food. FYI. Pros: ok food Cons: sleaze owner more

Should offer Statins instead of mints after dinner 8/13/2006

Don't be fooled by my heading. We really enjoyed the food at Magnolias. The majority of the dishes are fried, hence my intro. The sweet potato strings were a great way to start. The popcorn shrimp ACTUALLY contained shrimp (for those of you who frequent fast foods) and were quite tasty. The fried avocado was good initially then became a bit rich; share it with your friends. Atmosphere was comfortable, not quite Bourbon street, but hospitable, nonetheless. Pros: Very tasty, great atmosphere Cons: Heavy on fried foods, a bit pricey, tight seating more

Outstanding 3/20/2005

Excellent Southern cuisine and casual dining atmosphere. Fried green tomatoes and fried oysters were great appetizers. We didn't like the boudin stuffed red peppers as much - texture is probably not for everyone. Loved the catfish and grilled shrimp/scallop entrees. The accompanying vegetables were great, especially the spicy collard greens. Great beers and good, reasonable wine list. Very reasonable for the size of the portions and the quality. Great service as well. Pros: Food, Service, Relaxed atmosphere more

Southern delight 12/30/2002

This was a great overall experience in Southern/Louisiana style quisine. Food was excellent - especially the fried green tomatoes and the crab based apetizer. The main cousres, Jambalya and duck were both fantastic! Don't miss out on this one!!!! Pros: food!, atmosphere Cons: bit pricey, parking can be tough more

If you grew up on cheese grits and catfish, this is the place for you. The decor is not fancy, yet the food is the closest thing to real southern cookin'! Cons: a walk from the T more
