Magnolia Bar & Grill

I took my wife and kids to here drawn by the 5.0 google reviews rating, and I was not disappointed! Amazing food! Best Cajun food I’ve had in Texas. Highly recommended!

Everyone, this place is brand new and you can forget about any of those reviews that happened more than a month ago. You will be doing yourself a huge favor by stopping by! The bar is great, the food is great, the staff is getting its legs under it and man are there great things ahead for this place! You gotta check it out! It’s all new and all good! If you are a fan of Cajun or New Orleans influenced food, or craft cocktails at some of the most affordable prices in town, this place is going to be your new favorite! Yeschf from the old SoulFire food court is here to stretch his legs and grow into his own. This place is hot! You are gonna love it!

There is nothing better on a cool dreary day than a steaming hot bowl of scratch made gumbo to warm your soul. This gumbo is bursting with flavor, has a nice touch of heat and packed with andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp. I have tried the shrimp and grits, wings and po boys on a previous visits and they are just as amazing! Service is spot on and they have a nice bar to hang out at as well.

Thank you for the great service Clentona and Chris! I got the Perogative 75 which was so good because I got to select between the selection of gin. The gumbo, snapper and Mardi Gras balls were my favorite. Everything was great from the experience to the food and drinks.

If you haven’t been here yet you need too. Absolutely the best Crawfish Etouffee I’ve ever had by far. Excellent atmosphere even to come have drinks. This is my new favorite spot.

I got Gumbo to go. Everything inside perfect,taste really amazed me to. I know many people probably not happy with portion kinda small,but for me it's perfect. For the price y'all know everything have gone up recent years,I ain't complaint about that.

I have been eating Yeschf's food for some time now following him on socal media and going his pop-ups. I was so happy when he got a store front. His food is top notch and you can tell he has a real passion for his craft with ever dish he makes.

At the time of writing this, the Monte Cristo was not on the menu, but after asking about it I was pleasantly surprised that the owner went out of his way to still make one for me. And it was fantastic. My wife and I have eaten here several times before and we are big fans of the Rampart Rambler and the Truffle Mac. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Tried this for the first time and I wish I would have made it out sooner! These grits were absolutely amazing and I left stuffed and happy. Juicy shrimp, buttery grits, just spicy enough and I can’t wait to try what else they have!

We had such a fun experience and great service. We ordered the mouth watering raging Cajun and shrimp & grits. The chicken had the perfect amount of crisp and so deliciously tender accompanied with the savory spice. The corn was such a great addition with its savory sweetness and spice. The shrimp and grits were the best grits we have ever had and the prawns were cooked perfect. This is a must try and the peeps working there are so fun. This is a must try. You

Fantastic creole restaurant inside Oak Street Food Hall. Their muffuletta sandwich was delicious! Definitely split it with someone because it's huge. The fries could be better, IMO, but my daughter liked them. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes! (Bonus, the owner was very nice and friendly!)

House of Hustle

You definitely should hit this spot up. Yeschf is located inside the Oak St. Food & Brew food hall. Fat Tuesday (fried boudin balls) will send your tastebuds right to New Orleans. We had the Combo Po-Boy (shrimp/oysters), Pete’s Shrimp Creole and the famous Shrimp and Grits. Every meal we had was the best tasting cajun/creole we have ever had since New Orleans. Even if you don’t care for grits….give them a try here. You won’t be disappointed. To top off our lunch we had the White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Don’t sleep on it!!! Thanks Chef, we will be back again.

I can not get enough of this place! The breading they use on the the fried shrimp, oysters, & red snapper in the “Rampart Rambler” is the most flavorful and delicious EVER. Every item I’ve tried here has been incredible. Bonus: the chef is so friendly, always happy to answer questions or make suggestions if you can’t decide what to get… and his food is to die for!

Just discovered a true gem in the heart of Roanoke! This was our first visit to Yeschf and wow, it was FANTASTIC! We ordered shrimp and grits, gumbo, shrimp po boy and truffle mac and cheese. The shrimp and grits are to die for… huge shrimp with the most succulent grits. The gumbo was seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of kick! The po boy was the best I’ve had and the truffle mac was delicious (we started eating the truffle mac before remembering to take a pic). Chef Rodney was so personable and shared a little background on how Yeschf came to be. Wishing a very special heavenly birthday to Ronald for being the inspiration behind Yeschf! Thank you Chef Rodney for an incredible dinner tonight! You bet we’ll be back again very soon!

Magnolia Bar and Grill by YesChf is now open! YesChf was formerly located at Oak St. Food Hall and now to a bigger location at the Holiday Inn in Trophy Club. You do not have to stay at the hotel to visit! They have their own restaurant entrance. I came here because my partner and I had the pleasure of celebrating our 2nd year anniversary tonight since we had our 2nd date at his first location 2 years ago. Our bartender Jacob was fun and all the staff were welcoming. What do they have to offer? A delicious and intentional menu of creole staples and great service. If you're in the area, please check them out! If you come out 2/13, they are doing a Fat Tuesday celebration. Follow their social media @yeschfcreolecuisine to keep up on other events. They currently have an all-day happy hour throughout tomorrow, but outside of that, you can catch it at 3-6pm. The food is phenomenal. The bread pudding is a must. This time around I tried the Snapper Menuire. Honestly, everything has so much flavor and you can't go wrong. We took a chance on Jacob's recommendation and got the ribs and so glad we did! I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as I do!

This is a must-see-to-believe. From the outside, it's like; ok...we're here and we're hungry, let's just hope for the best...once the food is actually in front of you...180...you're like; O. M. G. And that's all I can say. Today was the first time we'd been here and our expectations were straight up blown out of the water, food-wise. Chef Rodney is a foodie angel of the highest order. He came out to ask how the meal was and told us a little about his culinary history. This is so refreshing in a time where it's not common for a couple sitting down to share a meal to put down their phone(s) before picking up their fork. When Anthony brought out our food, I could see immediately that it was going to be something special and I wasn't wrong...I just didn't expect this experience to be so...wonderful. Please take a chance to let this man and this menu change your mind on what good food should be. Especially when it's made from the heart. From one foodie to another, thank you, Chef!❤️

Incredible food, and even better service. The head Chef made it a point to check up on my group and ensure that the food was to his standards. I wish I would’ve gotten the servers name but she was incredibly nice and was very tentative to my table and our every need. All in all it was a 5 star dining experience

I have always come to the brewery food hall for another vendor, and that vendor actually told me Yeschf is worth the try. He was so right. This food was fantastic and I will never skip this food counter again. I was originally just going to try the truffle mac'n'cheese but the young guy at the counter suggested the shrimp and grits. I love grits. I'm almost snobby about them at restaurants even though I eat instant grits at home. Probably tied for the best grits I've ever had. My other favorite closed though, so I guess that makes Yeschf my new favorite. The flavor and texture are both spot on. Even my boyfriend, who hates grits, said they were amazing. That's high praise from him. The truffle mac'n'cheese was delicious; I love farfalle pasta so I was so happy to see they use that pasta shape. Will not leave without ordering from Yeschf on future visits.

Cannot say enough about the excellent meal presented by Yeschf. He runs a well prepped kitchen. If you're within 50 Texas miles of this restaurant, you need to stop in for your next meal. At the recommendation of our waiter Justin, we ordered the snapper with pasta, a side of corn maque choux and the best ever New Orleans style grits. Each item was prepared and cooked to perfection. I've never eaten corn maque and it was a delight to the tastebuds!! I've never been a fan of grits, but prepared in YesChf's kitchen is a treat like none other. The snapper was flaky and moist and the pasta tender. Our waiter Justin was friendly, professional and knows the menu well, To top it off the bartender, Chris, made the best espresso martini I've ever tasted! We simply had the most wonderful meal in a relaxing environment. We highly recommend Magnolia Bar and Grill by Yeschf. One last mention, we always split our meal because the portions are enough for 2!

I was excited when I first read all the great reviews about this place. But it turned out to be a disappointment. First, all the items now cost a lot more, and are very small on portion size. Truffle Mac and Cheese just used regular elbow pasta. Oyster Po Boy had maybe 7 small fried oysters. $20.95 for Roast Beef Po Boy was not worth it at all, taste was mediocre and really small portion. Maybe this placed used to be good, but our experience was not so much. Even chain restaurant Bayou Jack's down the street has better quality Cajun food, and much better price/portion. In response to the recent reply from the owner: My reviews are based on my personal experience comparing with other similar restaurants in this category and area. I appreciate the offer, but it is out of the way for me. To be fair, portion size is based on personal preference, so it is highly subjective. I actually use a point scoring system based on: presentation, texture, taste, price, portion, ambiance and décor, accessibility, service. Overall score is still 3/5 based on the single visit.
