Magnolia Brunch & Eatery

I’m not sure I can say anything that hasn’t been said already but this was one of the best dining experiences of my life. The staff was excellent and really made the experience wonderful for my sisters bday. Leo our server recommended our dinner entrees and desserts he didn’t disappoint. Great food, and excellent service. Thank you Magnolia Cafe & Grill for making my sisters bday special. She’s a very picky eater and she ate everything!

This was a really nice comfy place to go eat. The food was really good, zero complaints there. French toast with strawberries is a must try. I also had an omelet with poblano sauce for breakfast. It was on point. We did have a 45-minute wait time since they had a hard time putting 2 tables together. Try the cucumber lemonade!!!!

I recently visited Magnolia Cafe and had an amazing experience! The Chicken Piccata was absolutely delicious, with the chicken being wonderfully juicy. My strawberry lemonade was fresh and incredibly tasty, and the cheesecake was a perfect ending to the meal. The service was fantastic—our server was very nice and attentive. The owner was also extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed. The atmosphere was great, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal. I'll be coming back for sure!

Pretty good staff and working fast. They didn’t have some of the stuff I wanted but in the end the food was great.

Great tasting food, awesome vibes environment. The service was top notch! Worth every penny! Definitely will come back for more...Staff was very welcoming and cordial. Becca was super friendly easy going!

Fantastic food robust with flavor and meticulous presentation. Today’s lunch items were: salmon tacos, ribeye tacos, hamburger, hibiscus jamaica and churro cheesecake (which is indulgent without the decadence). Robert Espinoza and his wife have rapidly established their restaurant as the new must-try in Laredo. Excellent service and light jazz music round out the experience. I’ll be returning for their breakfast.

I was in town for business and on the recommendation of a co-worker came for a late supper. The restaurant wasn't busy at the hour I visited but I am told that it is crowded for breakfast and lunch. The waitress was quick to bring the menus which included an all day brunch menu or a dinner menu. I opted for the dinner menu though there were a lot of tasty looking brunch options. Drinks were quick to follow and calamari was ordered as an appetizer and the chicken piccata was calling my name. We didn't wait long for the calamari which were huge rings fried well with a fantastic marinara dip accompanying. My work partner ordered tortilla soup which looked and smelled wonderful and which he enjoyed. I have had my share of chicken piccata. It's one of my favorite dishes. I have eaten it around the country and across several European countries in well established restaurants. The chicken piccata created here is the absolute best I have ever eaten. The sauce was perfectly thickened with just the right acid levels. Not too many capers. The chicken was moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. Served over house mashed potatoes with grilled asparagus. The serving size was perfect and I was perfectly satisfied with the amount. Let me reiterate. The chicken piccata here is better than I have ever had anywhere. The chef, who we met, is humble and talented. We presented us a tasting of a smoked brisket that he will be serving at another of his restaurants in town. The smoke ring was visible in the slice, the meat was absolutely tender and moist and the flavor explodes. I hope he also decides to offer it at this location too. 35 plus tax and tip for a deliciously cooked meal that I will remember. I will make the drive when I am close to Laredo to eat here again. Everything from service, food, ambiance - Magnolia Cafe & Grill has it. Try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised. I was.

We received outstanding service from the start. The food was wonderful. The beautifully decorated atmosphere makes it a top choice for brunch!
