This is the second location of the Magnolia Cafes, created by owner Kent Cole in 1988. It shares the same 24-hour menu with it's Lake Austin Blvd. original location, but customers will find distinctive options for lunch, dinner specials, and late night specials. A large outdoor patio dining room is also available although it is not open at all times. Call ahead to ask for the patio schedule if you want to be sure to eat outside.

"Open 24 hours a day, eight days a week." The Magnolia Cafes are famous for feeding breakfast to college students, businesses people, and celebrities. They have a wide-ranging menu that features healthy options in addition to their famous indulgences like Magnolia Mud queso and gingerbread pancakes with chocolate chips.

Basically, it's a good value-priced option for home-cooked food with a broad menu that promises "something for everyone."

The kid menu has nice offerings for the young ones, too. It will come to the table with crayons, and the young artists have been given space in the foyer to display their art.
