Magnolias is a must-visit in Charleston! 🌟

The ambience strikes a perfect balance between cozy and upscale, setting the stage for a delightful dining experience. I started with the fried green tomatoes, which beautifully combined sweet and savory flavors. For the main course, the BBQ shrimp and grits were a flavor explosion!

The service was exceptional - our waitstaff, Nick and Julia, were attentive and friendly. And don’t skip dessert; the red velvet bread pudding paired with strawberry shortcake ice cream is divine!

Plan for a wait, but the food is well worth it!

Can't wait to return! 🍽️
