The Magnolia Diner — Restaurant in Gulfport

Welp guys! I tried a new place called "The Magnolia Diner" in Gulfport, MS. Walked in and was greeted by a nice young lady. The place was clean and soft music was playing..Ithink its a black owned establishment. .Another female came from the back to take our order and proceeded to take our drinks. I order a sweet tea and he got a coffee..Coffee came out piping hot which he enjoyed and my tea was super sweet and not even full in the cup. I then asked about the omelets..I wanted to know if they could make them with egg whites and the waitress stated "we don't have that". Now don't get me wrong everyone doesn't serve egg whites but yall have them. If you have eggs you have egg whites..I then ordered a side of bacon to my surprise it comes with 2 pieces, so I then had to order 2 sides of bacon..He got eggs with pork sausage. The bacon was very gummy as if it was placed in the microwave. They have other items on the menu. The food looks like it could be ok. I won't knock em but they need more options on the menu. Do I see myself returning, nope! I just wish...

This was my second visit here. My family and I were the only ones at that time. The hostess/server was cleaning so she did not come over to the table immediately but she did greet us. She came over gave us menus, silverware and took our drink orders. My daughter and I switched the seet tea for soda 😫. My eldest order pancakes and they were huge she didn't finish her food. My son ordered the grilled chicken salad and everything looked fresh and crisp. He did say his grilled chicken wasn't hot but he ate everything. My baby girl ordered the shrimp and grits. She didn't like the grits (they weren't mine🤪) she also ordered hashbrowns and ate them all. I ordered the chicken and waffle. It was overcooked for me. The waffle was crunchy and the chicken was fried hard and I do not care for the extra crunch.

They enjoyed themselves and eating...

I have been in food industry since I was 13 I understand everyone had different taste, this is just my husband and my opinion. Service was sincere but not experienced. Waitress and owner/manager walked by table several time without offering coffee or removing trash off table. Husband had chicken and waffles. Chicken was piping hot, positive, but lacked seasoning. Jucy inside and golden brown. 🧇 was tough, batter significantly over mixed. I had biscuit and gravy. Biscuit was cut in half appeared to be drenched with liquid butter and grilled, not appetizing at all. Gravy appeared to be package. Consistency was gummy like gelatin verses smooth and creamy. The eggs were cooked too high, you see the brown edges tell you it was too hot. I would not return based off the items I ordered, my husband said he would...
