Great option for those who enjoy a relaxing, friendly, and comfortable meal at fair prices. Large menu gives choices for casual dining and generous entrees. Can’t say it’s outstanding food, but good enough.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch and lunch at M&D Margo Kitchen. I was thrilled to be able to enjoy a healthy waffle/egg/fruit breakfast and my two friends enjoyed a burger with an egg on top and grilled cheese with soup. Great to have a breakfast, lunch and dinner place with locals running it and an interesting and tasty menu for all day dining, inside or out.

Three diners, three different types of wraps (steak, veggie, turkey). Everyone enjoyed their meals and happily took leftovers home. All of us will be returning. Our waiter was very personable and helpful.

GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, VERY GENEROUS PORTIONS We ate at M&D Margo's Kitchen for the first time tonight and it will NOT be the last time. Food was excellent. Highly recommend the tortilla soup, i order this a lot of places and this was one of the best. I had the half chicken, and it was a very generous portion (I recommend it also). It comes with two sides, i had the house salad and the tortilla soup. One of my pet peeves is food being too salty for me, so i always ask for no salt (or at least no added salt) and, unlike many other places, my request was honored. Everything was excellent, exactly how i ordered it. The waitress, knowing i didn't want salt, when she gave the sauce options for my chicken, made a point of asking if i wanted the sauce on the chicken or on the side, which was much appreciated. I ordered the teriyaki sauce, which was excellent but talked to one of the owners later, who told me to try the BBQ sauce, it was one of their specialties. My wife had the grilled salmon, and she doesn't like butter on any dishes, and they complied with her request as well. She had the asparagus side, which was many big stalks (she says six stalks but i thought it was more than that). She said the salmon was excellent and cooked as she likes it. She also had the butternut squash soup, which was the only disappointment of the night, she said it tasted as if sugar had been added and it was weak. Her issue may be that she was comparing it to her own butternut squash soup, which is superb, so nothing is going to stand up to that. But i tried it and thought it was very good. All the portions are very generous. Most of their entrees come with two sides, and there are two pages in the menu devoted to sides, so you will find something you want and like. And, even though not on the sides pages, we asked for and got a cup of any soup as one of the sides. I recommend that. The calzone (served to the table next to us) was huge, two people would (and did) have troubl
