Southern comfort food cafeteria with pies, seasonal & classic dishes























"Located just outside the city in Tucker, the Magnolia Room is a traditional cafeteria-style restaurant where guests nudge trays down the line to select entrees and sides; I was struck by how proud they are of sourcing locally from Sherry’s Produce. The menu features classic Southern staples like fried chicken, catfish, and a variety of Southern sides, and I’d recommend arriving early for lunch because it gets crowded." - Tori Allen
