Both Magnolia locations pack 'em in at all hours 'round the clock, and weekend brunch hours can easily result in a 45-minute-to-an-hour wait. Why don't folks throw up their hands and head to Denny's? 'Cause speed can't compete with the quality and ambience of a distinctly Austin nature. With monster omelets and entrées from Tex-Mex to pastas, the menu is wide enough to satisfy all hankerings within a given group of people. Musicians, families, slackers, business types: They're all there. Check out their cozy patio dining under the oaks at the South Congress location.
