Café Magnola has a prime location at the corner of TN-100 and TN-114.  The building looks fairly nondescript from the outside, and may cause many to just pass by, but that would be a mistake.  Inside they are serving up classic American food in large portions at reasonable prices.
Fried green tomatoes are a side dish, not an appetizer, and that should tell you something about the menu. Â There are a variety of sandwiches that make for nice lunch offerings, including some wonderful homemade chicken salad. Â There are also a number of dinner entrees, like lasagna and ribeye, and of course cajun catfish!
The real trick though is saving room for the desserts. Â There's a board by the host stand that lists the options which will change from day to day. Â Cheesecakes, regular cakes, pies, no matter what you choose it will be delicious. Â We had the "Hot Fudge Cake", chocolate cake with ice cream, covered in hot fudge! Â Makes me want to skip dinner and go right to dessert.
