Sugar Magnolia Bistro & Bar

There must be several {radically different} cooks/chefs. Either the food is amazing or it is tasteless and lacking in amount of food you get. Even a sandwich - phenomenal or dry, almost no avocado or meat; never on the bread that is advertised... just can't patronize someplace with such uneven service and quality.

Place used to be really great. Since they renovated it looks really nice inside but service is extremely slow. We waited 20 minutes just to get our drinks. And this has happened more than once. Our server seemed to be working the to-go area also, which made service feel this way. Hopefully will be improved in the future

I really wanted to love this new iteration of Sugar Magnolia. I did not. The ambience was nice and staff was friendly enough, but it took an hour to get our lunch sandwiches. I ordered the chicken and avocado Banh Mi ($9). It was pitiful looking. The bread was stale, so I just ate the chicken and vegetables. It was so SO bland; the chicken was dry and unseasoned, the vegetables were meager. The whole thing was generally tasteless. And they didn't bring my chips. My son ordered the ham and cheese (cheddar & Swiss) panini ($8.50). They brought him a turkey & brie with cranberry jelly. My dad ordered the Mediterranean pizza. It needed salt, but I thought it was good. (Maybe I was comparing it to my own terrible plate, because my dad disagreed). Sorry, but this SM is much less than it used to be...

Service is pitiful. I can get these same menu items at other places in statesboro (chicken salad sandwich. BLT. Bowl of soup. Ect..). And probably cheaper everywhere else. But wanted to come here to support a local business. The place is very nice and In a great location but it shouldn’t take 1hr to have a cold sandwich brought to your table. Come on! The food was ok but not spectacular. The manager was apologetic and from what I saw that is his job most of the time - Apologizing to customers. Change your staff or it will be costly

Cute place, sweet and attentive employees, delious food and fair prices. I have only been there the one time so far but i liked it. I even stayed for a while and read after my meal, I felt so happy and comfortable. I will definitely be going back.

Their food is great, but I especially like their signature cocktails and desserts - specifically the espresso martini with the original cheesecake. Their chefs, culinary artists, bartenders and wait staff have really raised the bar for this area.

Just revisited Magnolia after a few years and was very pleasantly surprised to see that it had grown to an all-out brunch destination. Very reasonable menu, very accommodating. Thanks to Bobby for the excellent service!

Amazing food, fantastic service! A little on the pricey side but I'd definitely go back!

Sugar Magnolias has exceptionally good food and a caring, attentive, friendly staff. I have eaten there four times and chosen four different options from the menu. Everything has been amazing and prepared to perfection! It's become my favorite eatery in Statesboro. I will definitely be back soon!

Amazing place and wonderful options! Had graduation dinner there with family and the food was just incredible! I had the Cobia salad, two had filet mignon, one was cornish hen and another with the angus beef burger. We were all definitely full by the time we were done and everything was very well made. Definitely a great place to visit!
