Tressie's at the Yellow House, located at 312 Commerce St., Magnolia, will tentatively open the historic home-turned-restaurant in mid-August, said Matt Knotts, manager of restaurant operations and executive chef. Knotts and his team had to completely gut and remodel the home's interior, add a second patio deck upstairs and repaint the exterior with a brighter yellow.

Guests can expect made-from-scratch, traditional Southern fare on the menu, Knotts said, including chicken and dumplings, chicken-fried steak, fried chicken, mac and cheese, smoked duck, grits, creamed corn and other dishes. There will also be vegetarian options, such as pasta with a mixed vegetable medley.
