It has been a blessing to find out what was causing some health issues but it’s been difficult when encountering people like this who assume gluten free is all about being trendy. I am so very appreciative of restaurant owners and employees who have treated me with dignity and kindness when I inquire about their menu items. I don’t assume restaurants should catere to my dietary restriction but it means so much when they try to help.

We are so looking forward to the new restaurant. I can't seem to find the website. I want to know the date it is opening. I know many others that love this food as well. We love the food. Agree the sweet potato balls are wonderful.

Hopefully, there will be healthy competition between both restaurants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-60070833247373828882016-09-14T21:36:40.388-04:002016-09-14T21:36:40.388-04:00Favorite S&S menu item is Coutry Fried Steak w...Favorite S&S menu item is Coutry Fried Steak with rice and gravy. Grew up eating that at the Augusta locations. At least the two S&S cafeterias in Macon are still going as well as the Augusta location. Both are on my relatively regular travel paths. <br /><br />I will visit the Magnolia when I am on that side of Atlanta, however even though I live in the NW suburbs of Atlanta, I am more frequently closer to the other locations mentioned above. <br /><br />I wish them good luck. I love good southern comfort food. There are plenty of meat and three restaurants but unfortunately cafeterias seem to be few and far between.Jay Hollandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-56164405677784076722016-09-12T10:24:20.580-04:002016-09-12T10:24:20.580-04:00Oh no the first controversy for the new City of Tu...Oh no the first controversy for the new City of Tucker. The City is divided on one side you have the Magnolia people on the other the Matthews crowd. Who’s been there since the 1950s? Who has the more modern building? Who feeds the Tucker Tigers Football Team? Who has easier access? Who has the best fried chicken? Who has the best vegetables? Who cares?<br /><br />I think this is great news for the ownership, the former S&S employees, a somewhat declining shopping center and the City of Tucker. I suspect there is plenty of potential business for both places particularly at lunch. With the continued growth in the area the future should be good, but they still have to make the right decisions as a business. <br /><br />Hamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-2827425112426830882016-09-12T10:07:46.783-04:002016-09-12T10:07:46.783-04:00@AJ,

I should clarfiy that Mr. Louis did not say that nothing at the Magnolia Room will be gluten free, only that it will not be an emphasis or a marketing strategy. Essentially gluten free diners are not the restaurant's "targer market." I'm confident there will be some gluten free items on the menu. <br /><br />Thanks as always for your comments and readership, I appreciate them both.

Most people just sit around and complain. As my parents were S&S regulars, I'll certainly take them to try Magnolia when it opens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-81462912002729130812016-09-12T08:45:39.054-04:002016-09-12T08:45:39.054-04:00Hopefully he has a business model that the people ...Hopefully he has a business model that the people in that area will appreciate. Nothing wrong with "old school" food that people enjoy and which brings back memories. But odd to make it "clear" that there won't be "gluten free" items. 50 years ago people just had bad stomachs. Today, people may actually be diagnosed with Celiac. Greens are gluten free. Baked chicken is gluten free. A real mashed potato recipe is gluten free. While many do use the gluten free diet as a trendy diet, for many (thankfully not myself, but many I do know), it's far from trendy - it's necessary and not a choice. But good luck to Mr. Louis - I do hope he has great success.AJnoreply@blogger.com
