    We’ve been to Maggie’s a couple times and it has yet to disappoint. The food is great the service is great and the feel is nice. It feels nice but doesn’t feel like you need to be dressed up or anything. It’s just a very pleasant place to eat.

    A small but well-built restaurant. During the busy season, I would recommend a reservation. The food was great and portion size appropriate. The customer service was top-notch.

    Long time local and can’t believe I haven’t tried this place till today. It was exceptional, the food, the service. We couldn’t decide on one thing so we ordered a few and they were delicious. Will be returning to try dinner soon.

    This place is amazing! I've been there 3 times, 2 for dinner and once for breakfast. Short ribs Benedict and the dinner entree are to die for! The duck appetizer and filet mignon are a delight. Also, the bartender Shayla is the best and they're all about their pups!! ❤️

    We were crammed into a corner. Pasta was overcooked. I will say our server was very attentive, but overall we were unable to enjoy our experience. We do appreciate that Maggie’s allows dogs on the enclosed patio

    We loved the atmosphere/ambiance- much like bougie cabin in the woods. The food was delicious , and the service was very good. We had pork belly and short rib Beni, with side of potatoes, both were rich and flavorful- there could have been more potatoes but that’s just my opinion. Overall we definitely recommend this place.
