Wow-totally worth the trip! We went for Thanksgiving after having seen the great reviews, and we were not disappointed. I'm craving the whole dinner just writing about it-from the moist turkey to the amazing stuffing, and don't even get me started about the gravy and mashed potatoes! They were absolutely heavenly. Plus the freshly made salad dressing and the delicious pie to top it off. Great service too. This place was outstanding, you definitely need to check it out. Seriously-go!

The food was great, the service was friendly and fast. I plan on going back again ??
Howdy Wowwie. The food is good. It's a little out in the cuts section of Modesto so it can be a little bit of a drive. Anyways, I ordered the fried catfish. Catfish was good. Had a good amount of meat in it (not skimpy) and it was fried beautifully. The black eyed peas had a smokey taste to it. However, I think I'll skip out on the rice next time. The mashed potatoes were amazing with the gravy. The potatoes even had the skins! Ahh! My bf's saucy chicken was ok. A little dry on some parts but I'm not a big fan of red meat chicken. However, the Mac and yam combo together is so boooomb. The Mac had a nice spicy kick to it and the yams were perfectly sweet. The only thing I did not like was the corn beard. I found the bread on the dry side. Other than that; this place was a solid 4 out of 5. Service is coo. The food is served like Panda Express style, but food is prepared well. I didn't get sick so that's a plus.

Food is good but don't enjoy the fact of driving out there numerous times only to find out they are closed. Just feel like you should post on here that your closed, instead of saying your open...

First time here with my husband and everything was sooooo good! I ordered the fried catfish with a side of macaroni and cheese and greens, and he ordered the spare ribs special with mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Everything was full of flavor and tasted fresh! The service was also amazing and very welcoming. We live in Manteca but we will definitely be back!!

Finally found a nice southern BBQ spot near Manteca. We've been trying to find a good spot for almost a year and we found Magnolia. A small lovely spot near from farms and land. It was very cozy inside and the employees were family. It was so lovely to see them smile and tend to us and other patrons.We ordered some hush puppies, cornbread, ribs, and jambalaya. The food was amazing! Definitely a spot that we will come again over and over.The only thing I was sad about was they didn't receive their meat delivery yet so I couldn't try their ox tail. For next time!
WHERE Y'AT? When the Krewe eats here they gone need a hammock. You will NOT leave here on empty. The food here is D-Licous. Those melt in ya mouth yams,cabbage and that fried fish. HOT DAMN! They have ice cold sweet tea and the like. Great country cafe (southern) vibe. All they need is a Zydego band on Thursday night (hint hint) and LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER. My gratitude to the chef/owners.

This place is amazing. Been looking for great soul food and finally found it. Mac n cheese did not disappoint. Staff was super friendly. Prices are great. I was able to feed a family of 4 for $50. Place was very clean and there's tons of parking. This will for sure become a weekly dinner spot.

This is a real home cooked mealBe respectful of the time it can take for a large table with special ordersThe cafeteria style service table for Fried Chicken and Catfish is always ready to go.Make sure to try the Mac and Cheese, Gumbo and keep an eye out for the Banana Pudding (as good as Grandma use to make)

Love coming here, staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is great, and the atmosphere feels like home! Originally found them through a food group on Facebook, reached out to them, and asked if they could accommodate a fish allergy, and they were kind enough to, and I've been enjoying their food ever since!
