As we were driving through Leesburg, I was put to task to find a reasonably priced restaurant. When I saw the name "Magnolia's", I was immediately intrigued. Let me tell you, from the street side, unless you knew ahead of time, you probably wouldn't think they would serve anything other than beer and booze. Instead, we were pleasantly surprised that they had a nice assortment of seafood items. We both ordered the fried fish sandwiches which came with toasted bread, homemade tartar sauce and hush puppies, seasoned fries and sliced tomatoes which tasted like they were grown locally. We literally didn't say anything for 10 minutes. THAT WAS HOW GOOD THE FOOD WAS!!! I highly recommend it if anyone is up for trying something fun and off the beaten path. If you have a drive ahead of you and beer/wine aren't in the cards, their sweet tea with fresh lemon is just what the doctor ordered 😋

This is a fun gem hidden in downtown Leesburg. The bartender was a little out of but that contributed to the overall vibe. The other customers were all super friendly and talkative. The oysters are fresh and shucked right in front of you. I will return when I am back in town.

This is the coolest oyster dive ever! Oysters are big, juicy and sweet. Rita is the best! We love her!

Definitely a locals place. We were in the area and found it online. When we found it my wife was dubious given the appearance. Dive bar, biker bar might describe it. Inside has only 3 booths, a bar and some high tops. Inside looks as rough as outside. We stayed and enjoyed what is the best New England clam chowder anywhere. I had the fried cod platter and my wife had the frog's legs platter. Generous portions and excellent quality. My wife said were the best frogs legs ever. Service was very friendly also. Overall reasonably priced.

Would give it less than one star if I could. This place is a dive bar so don't be surprised if you're harassed or confronted with trouble. My wife and I peacefully took a seat outside in the smoking area where we were immediately accosted by a group of several drunks (women and men) for my cigar. Mind you, they were sitting half way on the other side of the outside smoking area and it was Bikefest. Instead of speaking with, or asking the trouble makers who accosted us to leave (and one even walked outside for a fight...yes, I spoke up to defend my wife and I), they told us to leave and escorted us out (retired FireFighter and have never been escorted out of any establishment). Only because this other large group was spending more money. No concern for how we were accosted and harassed. If that doesn't say "Dive Joint". I don't know what does. So I would also be very, very wary of the food, especially seafood from such a low-life place.
