This was our second visit to Magnolia 23.
Both experiences have been excellent.
First time we ordered chicken and dumplings they are best I’ve ever had!
Today I tried country style steak wife ordered fried chicken both very good but I prefer the dumplings better then my grandma’s.
Sides are always delicious collards and best potato salad in NC
Desserts blackberry cobbler and persimmon pudding
Excellent.

We were on our way back to Banner Elk after the Hurricane hit our area in Banner Elk and the Owner gave us a donation, I turned the donation in to the Town Hall in Banner Elk. His kindness made me want to cry. God Bless You! And, yes the food was everything they say it is, just like eating at home. Thank you!

Magnolia 23, located in Asheboro, offers a genuine southern dining experience with a charming atmosphere. The restaurant provides both dine-in and take-out services, though customers are advised to check the hours as they close between lunch and dinner and are only open a few days a week.
The menu features classic southern dishes, including the customer-favorite fried chicken, which is cooked to perfection. Other popular items include mac and cheese, green beans, collards, crowder peas, and cornbread. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, providing excellent value. The fried chicken is lightly breaded, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and seasoned well, as praised by customers. The chicken pie is also available, along with chicken and dumplings, which are well-loved. Sweet tea served in mason jars adds to the southern charm.
The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment. Customers also enjoy desserts like sweet potato pie, banana pudding, and strawberry nut cake, satisfying sweet cravings. Many reviewers mention the food being fresh and homemade, with some noting that the owner's friendly and personable approach makes it feel like visiting a friend's house. Magnolia 23 is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic southern food and a warm atmosphere.
