The Magnolia Room

The Magnolia Room is the heart of The Chalfonte Hotel and Dot and Lucille are at the heart of the Magnolia Room.

These two sisters have been cooking up traditional Southern style food for 50 years. But there's nothing ordinary about the aroma of the garlic-studded prime rib that wafts out of their kitchen.

Each of the Ladies has her specialties. Lucille’s soups can make grown people weep; Dot’s Fried Chicken causes lips to audibly smack. Go for the warm, gracious atmosphere and the alarming quantities of that mouthwatering Southern food.
