Sweet Magnolias in Lillington

Great foodand service love the burgers and fries

Find this lovely place using my maps Explore for place to eat. Reviews made it easy to stop in for a quick by decent bite for late lunch. WHAT a GREAT surprise and TREAT! Staff was very patience - my Les can not eat wheat products and can not eat greasy or processed product's. The Courthouse burger was FABULOUS - very BIG, and generous Sweet Potato Fries. How did you all keep crunchy french fried onions on a burger so CRUNCHY? No room for dessert so we carried out for later. I would request that REAL ice cream be used with the homemade desserts. We will return Monday for breakfast! Deb & Les

One of my family's favorite restaurants. We eat here as often as we can when in the area! When I have family visit from out of town, I take them there with me as well!!

The staff was friendly and the food was good! Really couldn't ask for much more. It had a small town family owned feel which I love. Clean bathrooms :)

Typically enjoy old southern food. I don’t know if it’s because it’s a Friday. But from the experience I am currently getting. It is sub par, fries are cold. Food is tasteless almost like eating a block of ice. The food taking about 30min to cook. The food was not prepared correctly. Condiments were overwhelming to the point I stoped eating my food. This is my experience.

My wife and I love breakfast and trying new places. The name "Sweet Magnolias" caught my eye so we ventured down to Lillington. Very clean and quaint with open seating, decorated tastefully. The breakfast menu was average but we were a bit surprised that sausage gravey was not available for our biscuits. My wife got a kick out of the breakfast potatoes as they looked liked cut up French fries. Our drinks were served in styrophome cups and our food came on styrophome plates with plastic silverware. The food was ok but not up to the $20.00 bill.

Pricey for what you get. The food wasn't "bad", but the sandwiches have nothing to them, and for an $8 sandwich I'd like more than 2 slices of deli meat on the whole thing. They also charge full price for subbing out your side, fine, but then please also send the chips you're charging for. The "no sharing" comment on the menu is tacky.

This is a great old fashion type deli and grill. The food is very good and the staff is friendly.

Friendly staff and excellent food for a reasonable price! Not an upscale restaurant but warm comfortable atmosphere! I'm a repeat customer and will be back again!

Awesome chicken salad! 1st time there and I will be back.

The service was fast and the food was good. Our party had a Reuben, a hamburger, chicken salad sandwich and turkey sandwich. Everyone was happy and or server was friendly and attentive.

We’ve always adored this sweet little cafe in downtown Lillington. The food is delicious and it’s so much easier to enjoy multiples of our favorite salads at one time than fix all of them. Here we had the grape salad, pasta salad, broccoli salad and the strawberry salad. All delicious. All handmade. All southern cooking. If you haven’t tried it out yet you’re missing out.

I really enjoyed the selection and it was very high quality cooked food

Always a pleasure! So many homemade items - hard to choose!

Great service, space, food, and prices!!

The burgers are delicious and I absolutely love the hand cut Mag chips. Super nice staff and clean restaurant with great food. I’ll definitely be back!!

Best stuffed french toast I have ever had

This place is amazing I love tittle good

What a quaint and lovely place for lunch! The service is excellent, even while being filled to capacity. My Citrus Chicken Salad was superb! The Lemon Cookie Bar knocked my socks off! You won’t be disappointed with anything on the menu- hope to see you there!

Great food! First time customer an will be returning definitely!

This place is on my once a week list. Pimento bacon cheeseburgers, chicken salad, or a plain country breakfast are at the top of my list. And I can’t forget their drizzle that turns your sweet potato fries into a dessert. Anna and her staff are sure to wow you with their southern hospitality.

A restaurant, a coffee shop and place that the Chamber of Commerce has business networking meeting. A very nice place with very friendly staff that takes pride in their unique specials and dishes with a flair. The Camber director said a lot of the women in town like the chicken salad and the guys like the gourmet burgers.Limited hours so you need to check before you go. I had stopped by before because the Small Business Center recommended it but it was closed. I added a picture with the current hours. Locally owned and operated with a clear commitment to buy local produce.

Great food with awesome flavor. Must stop by here.

Delicious food. Everything on the menu is good. Reuben is my favorite. The people are great.

Super friendly, make you feel like one of the regulars even when you don't go regularly.

A family favorite! We stop every time we are in the area or passing through. Delicious burgers and friendly service keep us coming back.

Friendly staff and wonderful food.

Magnificent gem hidden in the downtown area of small town USA. Best hamburgers I've ever, that's not a misprint, EVER, had!

Excellent food,service and atmosphere.

Cute place with very good food and service.

Good food and service love the intimate atmosphere of the building.

Great local food and quick service.

This is our breakfast go to spot. They have fast and friendly service. The food is great. It has a cozy, hometown ambience.

In town for Raven Rock, it's a nice friendly joint, great food and service. Definitely make it a stop for lunch or breakfast.

Enjoyed lunch but the tablecloths and general ambiance could be updated.

The burger was truly delicious, it came with a fried egg, mayonnaise, lettuce and a tasty tomato slice. The onion rings were cooked a little too long for my liking.The banana pudding was wonderful, although the serving was a bit small for the $3.75 price.Service was outstanding.

Interesting and tasty southern style salad choices

Met friends for lunch. They had never been here. They were very impressed with the menu and service.

Wonderful place! Fantastic food and people!

The restaurant /bar on the corner....no acknowledgement we were even there.So glad..... Sweet Magnolias was a hit. We had the cheeseburger and fried okra and a ruben sandwich ...yumm. Plus we were treated like family. We'll be back.

Great service. Friendly staff. Good food. Have eaten here numerous times and am never disappointed. They have a good hamburger steak with gravy. You can also make a hamburger to your liking. They have chili, onions, slaw (good for making that Carolina Burger). You can also get lettuce and tomato, cheese and mustard, ketchup etc. Had the Vegetable Soup which was nice. They also have Chili Beans. Last time I was there I ordered the Chili Beans (Bowl) and half a Chicken salad sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mayo. That chicken salad tastes like homemade. Delicious. They also have other Deli sandwiches. The only thing I can say is that about a year ago I tried the no-bake Lemon Bars and wasn't particular to them. They have other desserts though, which I haven't tried, like Chocolate Eclairs. I'm going to get one of those next time.

Great restaurant! Great food! A favorite lunch spot!

Food is fantastic! Fresh and cheap! Waitstaff was awesome and friendly!

We love the food, EVERYTHING literally is amazing. I Adore having such an awesome place to dine in our downtown. A personal fav of many....chicken salad...they offer seasonal options which are always fun to check out. Top of the list for me...grape salad...a must have!

Good food. Reasonable prices.

Good service, friendly staff and regular spot for locals. This was my second time. Food is good. My only complaint is the food portion. I got chicken salad again, the second time. First visit I got the regular chicken salad sandwich, which is in the $6 range. This time the summer chicken salad, special, which is $8. Both come with chips and pickle. The amount of chicken salad on the sandwich for $8 and even $6 is very disappointing. I know chicken salad isn't the cheapest salad batch to make. So I don't expect a 1/2lb sandwich. But the chicken salad is literally half the portion of the lettuce, tomato and mayo. I'll go to the other local spots for chicken salad. I feel like I'm eating a lettuce, tomato and mayo sandwich with a 'touch' of chicken salad as a condiment- for $8!!

Great food and good prices!

Everything is scratch made. Delicious!!! They know many of their customers by name Great service and friendly folks.I had a big burger with an unusal side of gelatin salad. The chocolate eclair was yummy and different.

Breakfast was great! Very nice atmosphere and customer service was awesome. I love eating in places like this.

Food, service and atmosphere....it's great!
