“Once again, a great dinner at Magnolia in May. Really good service from our waitress, and it wasn't noisy tonight, so it was easier to talk to my dinner companion than sometimes is the case. The chocolate gelato was very good, although I wish I could have one of their gluten filled desserts like the bread pudding. Definitely great to go during happy hour when you get half-price wine! I might skip the deviled egg since there wasn't much deviled about it. Wonderful outing!“
“This place gets 5-stars for everything: 1) food (omg the biscuits and gravy all made in house including grinding their own sausage…so good); 2) atmosphere (perfectly bougie and moody in all the right ways); and 3) service (can I give 6 stars, or 20?). One employee, Christie Johnson, is now my favorite person on planet earth. After my great breakfast, I accidentally left a bag behind that I needed for work (it had everything in it I needed for a big talk at U Memphis that day)…I called the restaurant when I realized I had left it, and I was trying to think of the best way to get the bag quickly (pay a courier? Send it in an Uber ride?). Christie said she remembered me from that morning and said she would hand deliver my bag when her shift ended. First, what angel of a human offers this?! Second, the university campus is a good 25-min drive from the restaurant, so she really went out of her way to drive across town. Christie saved the day for me, saved my presentation, and then even followed up and asked how the talk went. I’m still blown away. Now the Bishop isn’t just a good meal for me, it’s a place I can’t wait to come back to again and again. Thank you, Christie!!!“
