Magnolia Pancake Haus

A breakfast at Magnolia’s is always sure to please anyone in the mood for a hearty breakfast or a little something different. Of course they have a large selection of pancakes but Magnolia is so much more than a pancake place.

There are so many breakfast selections on the menu at Magnolia’s that it can take a while to decide what you are in the mood for. I usually go there with one of my favorites in mind (usually the Belgian waffle) but when I start reading the menu, I see so many other things I want to try or have again. They do a really good Eggs Benedict and their pork sausage is wonderful.

Today it was the Magnolia Eggs & Browns, a nice combo of eggs any style (over easy for me), hash brown potatoes, choice of breakfast meat (I had the bacon) and pancakes, grits or toast. I substituted a biscuit for the pancakes today. I love their apple wood smoked bacon as well as the pork sausage. Magnolia’s coffee is always rich and inviting too and is nice to savor while waiting for your food to arrive.

I keep telling myself that one day I am going to try the authentic Munchener Apfel Pfannekuchen. This is a concoction of Granny Smith apples, zesty cinnamon and secret spices all combined to create a puffed pancake that is an authentic taste of Bavaria. It is served with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and a dollop of European style whipped cream. (This dish is made to order so please allow 15 minutes for preparation.) I have tried this “dessert” in Germany and I would love to try the Magnolia version.

Magnolia also serves up both breakfast and lunch daily, but I have yet to go there for lunch. It is always a breakfast place for me. Fair warning this is a very popular breakfast place for locals any day and always on weekends, so go early (they open at 7:00 am daily) or be prepared for a long wait.
