about us

Located in the City of Charm on the Pearl River sits Magnolia Grille. At “The Grille,” as the locals call it, we believe that good meals should be savored. We believe in the Southern tradition of taking things slow, so that special moments are enjoyed with good company. Here, our dishes are based on family-favorite and handed-down recipes such as Fried Green Tomatoes, Shrimp & Grits and our famous Pecan Pie Cheesecake.
