Magnolia Cafe - Cafe in Austin - 1920 S Congress Ave, USA

Wait times are expected during peak times here. QR code is available to scan to jump in line or you can go to the front desk and ask to be added to the list. The staff is nice here but they do get busy so don't be rude to them bc its not immediate attention. The Benedict was kind of cold when delivered but it wasn't a huge issue to me. The salsa for the chips was good. Parking is def super tight here but also expected for ATX. Food selection is large. Restrooms are limited but clean. Limited alcohol selection (I don't drink so no big deal for me) but I know some people who do enjoy it. I would def return to try more of the menu. OH and there's a dinosaur hanging from their ceiling so you really can't beat that. The BLT says "shredded turkey" in the description but it's just shredded turkey deli meat.

Our Magnolia Cafe experience was elevated by Amanda's personal attention, making us feel genuinely warm and welcome. The "Eggscape" dish, with its mouthwatering mix of potatoes, sausage, cheese, and a fried egg, was a standout. Despite a slightly lengthy wait, the delicious giant buttermilk pecan pancake and French toast made it all worthwhile. Highly recommend for a dining experience that feels like home!

This was our first time here & we absolutely loved every part of it. We were on a wait list of 37 ahead of us, but had plenty of things to explore around it to pass the time!! Our server, John Mark, made the experience a true joy! He was extremely funny, helpful, & amazing at his job! Food was delicious 😋

This place was packed when we got there so we put our name on the list and walked across the street and have a cup of coffee until they were ready for us. There were 31 parties in front of us and we waited for about 40 minutes. Well worth the wait. John Marc was our waiter and did an excellent job. He made sure our drinks for fall and checked on us plenty. We started our brunch with the artichoke dip and queso with beans. The artichoke dip was super creamy and had lots of flavor the quesi was also good. We all had something different from the menu. The breakfast tacos were definitely what I was looking for to feel my belly. My wife and our friends will definitely be back!

I ordered a single buttermilk pancake, breakfast burrito and a mimosa. My friend ordered the huevos rancheros. The food was amazing and the salsa is really great. It is zingy and flavourful. I would totally eat here again. I came here as I saw it on the triple D listing. It was absolutely delicious. The service was great too.

Comfort food to the fullest! The plates are HUGE and the service was great as well. We had lots of food to take home and still left with our bellies full. Be sure to try the queso with beef. Absolutely delicious

Nom nom nom. Came here twice on vacation. It was so good. Put your name on the waiting list and expect to hang out at the local cool shops for about 45 minutes on a weekend. The counterspace is first come first serve, pro tip. I would just park on the street for a couple bucks or Uber here or you can walk from your hotel if you’re close enough. Can’t go wrong with most of the menu items. The service is super friendly and chill. The prices are good too. Food is made to order and comes out pretty quick for as much as they are doing for service in a day. We will be back. Thank you!

Incredible food and incredible service as well. Even though the restaurant was super busy, the service was still very very good. John Mark is a great waiter! The food is also out of this world. We got the Magnolia omelette and the jalapeno popper cornmeal pancake. They were both AWESOME.
