Magnolia Society

My wife and I had dinner at this restaurant, and loved it. The building was once a hotel in the early 1900’s, and has been restored BEYOND IMMACULATELY into a beautiful restaurant. My wife loved their chicken strips, and I thoroughly enjoyed their shrimp.

Alexus, who was our waitress, was incredible. Her recommendations for menu items were spot on, and we greatly appreciated that. The manager (who was wearing a cap, but I didn’t get her name) was outstanding; she was the type of manager I would want running my restaurant if I owned one. She was very cordial and incredible with the customers, was very professional, and seemed to be on top of everything with regards to running the restaurant smoothly and efficiently. All the customers we noticed seemed happy and filled with enjoyment, which is likely due to the outstanding manager and staff members, such as Alexus, who worked great as a team. Both Alexus and the manager were knowledgable about the building’s history, which was quite interesting.

They also have an outdoor patio, which had a really good live band playing on the Saturday (2/24/24) we were there.

We found this restaurant online before making a trip from Houston to San Antonio. We are happy to report that we were very pleased with the entire experience. The food was delicious and the restaurant is beautiful! You typically do not find restaurants like this in small towns. Do yourself a favor the next time that you are in the area of Columbus TX and try this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

What a fantastic restaurant to grace the small town of Columbus, Texas. I was an inner looper in Bellaire, Texas my entire life and now I want to live in Columbus. Such a cute town and the people are so sweet.

I would say Magnolia Society is 'right on time' for this type of establishment.

Impeccable timing and beautiful establishment.

From the finish out, to the patio, to the service to the food, everything was absolutely perfect. Taylor and Bailey were fantastic and Sherry the owner is so nice and welcoming.

Speaking of treats, treat yourself and make the drive from Houston or Katy or Schulenburg or New Ulm or San Antonio.

You'll be happy you did and got to enjoy not only the charm of Columbus, Texas but the charm of the Magnolia Society.

FINALLY Columbus has a fine dining option! Friendly service, spectacular cuisine, & perfect ambiance. Live music on the patio. We both had the evening's special, Halibut. Moist & tasty. Good wine selection. Pecan bread pudding. Yum.

Lovely upscale atmosphere with causal culinary options. Definitely a "must go" if you're in the area... or even if you aren't. The service is wonderful and the Beef Short ribs were Divine. I look forward to seeing this restaurant evolve in its beautifully renovated space!
