Magnolia Bar and Grill by YesChf is now open! YesChf was formerly located at Oak St. Food Hall and now to a bigger location at the Holiday Inn in Trophy Club. You do not have to stay at the hotel to visit! They have their own restaurant entrance.
I came here because my partner and I had the pleasure of celebrating our 2nd year anniversary tonight since we had our 2nd date at his first location 2 years ago. Our bartender Jacob was fun and all the staff were welcoming.
What do they have to offer? A delicious and intentional menu of creole staples and great service. If you're in the area, please check them out! If you come out 2/13, they are doing a Fat Tuesday celebration. Follow their social media @yeschfcreolecuisine to keep up on other events.
They currently have an all-day happy hour throughout tomorrow, but outside of that, you can catch it at 3-6pm.
The food is phenomenal. The bread pudding is a must. This time around I tried the Snapper Menuire. Honestly, everything has so much flavor and you can't go wrong. We took a chance on Jacob's recommendation and got the ribs and so glad we did!
I hope you try it and enjoy it as...
Read moreI was excited when I first read all the great reviews about this place. But it turned out to be a disappointment. First, all the items now cost a lot more, and are very small on portion size. Truffle Mac and Cheese just used regular elbow pasta. Oyster Po Boy had maybe 7 small fried oysters. $20.95 for Roast Beef Po Boy was not worth it at all, taste was mediocre and really small portion. Maybe this placed used to be good, but our experience was not so much. Even chain restaurant Bayou Jack's down the street has better quality Cajun food, and much better price/portion.
In response to the recent reply from the owner:
My reviews are based on my personal experience comparing with other similar restaurants in this category and area. I appreciate the offer, but it is out of the way for me. To be fair, portion size is based on personal preference, so it is highly subjective. I actually use a point scoring system based on: presentation, texture, taste, price, portion, ambiance and décor, accessibility, service. Overall score is still 3/5 based on the...
Read moreMy wife and I took a chance and drove all the way from Fort Worth to experience Yeschf in Roanoke. Our efforts were rewarded! The food is delicious and off the hook. The service was personal and exceptional. THE FOOD: The shrimp and grits were delightful. The shrimp were cooked perfectly (what my Dad used to call "snappy") and the grits were creamy, rich and buttery. The gumbo will transport you to downtown "Naulins". It is full of spicy goodness and the andouille sausage is to die for. The owner, Rodney Dabon, told us the sausage is locally sourced and made especially for him. Rodney is so welcoming and friendly. You can tell immediately he truly loves what he does. We ordered and then we took a seat at the bar of Soul Fire Tap Room and Rodney personally delivered our food (with a big smile :) ). We topped great meal off with a bread pudding which is made with beignets and TX bourbon sauce. Yummy goodness all the way around. We will definitely be back. Thank you...
