Magnolia Buffet - Columbia

In the main dining area, you'll find multiple stations serving fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, sea salt shrimp, General Tso's chicken, teriyaki chicken, salmon, ribs, fried fish, quesadillas, string beans, lo mein, fried bananas, rice, and many other options. They even have soups like hot and sour, wonton, and egg drop. Everything was consistently replenished, so there was always plenty to choose from. For dessert, the soft-serve ice cream bar offered chocolate and vanilla flavors, along with an array of small cakes, almond cookies, and hot apple pie slices available at the main food bar. Our meal cost $16.82, which is the Saturday evening price, including a drink; prices are lower during the week and for lunch. I felt it was more than worth it. Our waitress, Sue, provided excellent service, making sure our drinks were always full and checking in on us regularly. The woman at the front, where you pay, was incredibly friendly and informative, especially since it was our first visit. Overall, a lovely experience!

The food was fantastic, and the waitstaff was mostly attentive. However, the person at the front desk—whether they're the owner, manager, or lead cashier—could benefit from being a bit more polite and courteous. Overall, it's an excellent place to dine.

Everything was great! I just wish the ribs had been served warm. My husband really enjoyed the crawdads!

We've always had a great experience here. Regardless of how busy they are, it's clean, the food is fresh and delicious. Great sushi... So much to choose from considering it's a buffet restaurant. The house chicken is my favorite!

Omg, how delicious! I didn't even have time to post the photo because I ate everything
