Grab 'n Go at its finest

We specialize in preparing traditional, homemade Southern food for you, your family and friends. We have all your favorite down-home dishes: fried chicken, casseroles, chicken salad, and so much more!

In the mood for dessert? Our bakery has you covered. With an impressive array of anytime goodies, including cakes, pies, cookies, bars, petit fours, and cake truffles—not to mention seasonal treats like our famous king cakes—we have plenty to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Hosting an event? There’s no gathering too big or too small. Our takery items are perfect for picnics, no-fuss school-night dinners, holidays, tailgating, award banquets, romantic date nights, weddings, and new arrivals. Whether you need a complete spread or some party food (don’t forget the dips) for an informal gathering, just consider us your second kitchen. If your grandmother made it, we probably do, too! Take all of the credit, without any of the hassle. Give us two hours, and we’ll even heat it up for you!

And remember—you can dine in, too! Stop by on any weekday for one of our blue plate specials!

Testimonials

  • “I love this place! My first time trying it and hearing about it was when our good friends were kind enough to have lunch catered to us and it was outstanding! The poppyseed chicken casserole was amazing! Plus, this signature salad that was fresh, crisp, and down right delicious- drizzled in this sweet light dressing.. it was to LIVE for! I can’t wait to stop in for the up close and personal “takery experience!

  • Sugar Magnolia Takery did an outstanding job on my son’s 1st birthday cake and smash cake. Ordering was simple and a breeze- I only had to give them a copy of the invitation and the decorator put her creativity to work! The attention to detail was IMPRESSIVE! Customer Service was a delight when we picked up the cakes . They took much care to package them so they traveled well. Cake was so yummy - I ordered chocolate for the large cake and white for the smash. It was moist and freshly baked! Highly recommend for all your cake needs.
