I did a catering order for my company. We had the pulled pork, rib tips, chicken, collard greens, mac, and the peach cobbler cake.... My whole team loved the food!!! There were a few sides missing and the owner personally brought the left over items to me. I was truly grateful for that. Just want to say thank you for the amazing food and customer service!! Will definitely order again!!

Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse is such a great addition to our local food scene! From the moment you walk in, the staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive you can tell they truly care about the experience.
The sides absolutely shine. The collard greens are flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the baked beans are rich, savory, and packed with that classic smokehouse goodness. Don’t skip dessert their unique peach cobble cake is a must-try and a standout twist on a Southern favorite.
If you’re visiting for the first time, I highly recommend ordering the sampler so you can try a variety of meats and sides. It’s the best way to experience everything they do well.
Definitely worth a visit!

So look, I am a bbq type chick and have tried MANY places here in AZ. Last night I had the pleasure of walking in to Sweet Magnolias. This food is perfectly cooked, flavored and seasoned to the t, the staff was super kind and checked on us often. We had a small family meal, with beans and Mac, brisket, Rib tips and the hot link. There was NOT a bad bite. I am super picky when it comes to beans, but let me tell you how I almost ate the whole container myself. Do yourself a favor, go visit this cute little place and get your grub on!! Worth every dollar we spent and have left overs for this morning. Yummmm!! Happy Eating!

Brought my Mom here, who is visiting from out of state and it was surprisingly disappointing. Unfortunately, they got both our orders wrong. They corrected my order but did not fix my Mom’s order.
Outside is of that, the food was not the quality I had remembered from previous visits. I had the smoked wings and they are clearly just seasoned with liquid smoke, lacking depth of flavor, (I still have that smoke smell on my fingers the next day after several washings, which makes if obvious). The sweet potatoes were oily and full of a lot of unnecessary sugar. The greens are vinegary, and strangely sweet (apparently Mom liked them though). Mom ordered baby back ribs and got rib tips, which is obviously infuriating.
I don’t know what has happened since I first tried them, but cutting corners and an inconsistent product doesn’t make for repeat customers.
