Magnolia Dale House - Jamestown

Tasty creative food, great customer service, and an amazing staff! Heathy choices as well as yummy splurge offerings! Gorgeous outdoor dining right on the James River. efinitely worth the stop!????????????

How did this simple cafeteria receive a 5-star rating? If you're expecting an outstanding culinary experience, you'll likely be let down. While the setting is nice, the food is modest and overall disappointing, especially if you don’t mind fetching your own drinking water from the soda fountain with a styrofoam cup. The menu is quite limited. The service is just average, which is acceptable under the circumstances. My tiny ‘salad’ of tomato and summer squash was underwhelming, and the stale, plastic-wrapped pumpkin bread that accompanied it was frustrating. I gave it only one star to warn others against spending money on a trip to the park just for an average concession stand.

Charming café in Jamestown, ideal for unwinding while taking in the picturesque river views. The historical ambiance is palpable! They offer a fantastic selection of meals, snacks, and desserts, along with local products for sale. I absolutely love their pickle soup during the winter months! With such unique and tasty options, there's something to satisfy everyone's palate. The staff is friendly and always ready to help! A perfect place to bring the family!

This is an excellent café! The staff is consistently friendly and approachable. The views from the waterside patio are stunning. The menu features a variety of unique dishes, and it’s always exciting to see their new creations. I appreciate that they use locally grown ingredients! I definitely recommend this place.

This place has fantastic food and a super friendly staff! I visited a couple of times during my stay, and I was consistently impressed with my meals, especially the shrimp wrap, which featured fresh and delicious recipes. They also offer tasty desserts, which is always a nice bonus!
