"This po boy is rich! The shrimp are good-sized with snappy, sweet flesh, veiled in fine, luxey crust, abundantly heaped into a long roll with remoulade, red onion slices, and peach cole slaw. In the background are excellent sweet potato french fries."

"Magnolia's half-pound hamburger is a full-flavored mound of juice-dripping beef encased in a smoky crust and draped with melted cheddar cheese, piled into a pretzel roll with smoked bacon, tomato, and onions. "
Michael Stern
"When Chef Donald Barickman opened Magnolia's in 1990, Lowcountry cuisine was hard to find in restaurants and Charleston was not known as a destination-dinner city. All that has changed, thanks in no small part to the way this restaurant has set standards of classic down south food served with uptown panache."
