  • Maggie's was a bit disappointing given some really good reviews on yelp about it. It's true that as eric g. says, this is probably the last breakfast/brunch diner in the area so it does have that going for it... The food wasn't too bad but it wasn't something I'd wait over an hour for again. I like myself some eggs prepared in a benedict fashion but I find milestones eggs benedict as good as this place...and I get seated immediately there. The garlic fries are a great touch and the fact that the fries aren't all one size allows you to get a good mix of the small burnt and crunch vs the big hot and kinda soggy types...so each person can get the type of fries they prefer in one batch. I don't know if thats something they are aiming for or just luck. I do think though that many people may shy away from the garlic fries but I don't think I saw an option to alternate but may be something you want to check. The location is pretty small. Max seating is about 25 people. This translates into longer wait times than normal. They had to open up the patio to create some seating when we were heading out but they didn't do that while we waited for people to leave to be seated. A couple of negatives: 1) A couple people came in while I was waiting and requested take out. They were told it would take 30-40 minutes. I don't know if this was my stomach being cranky 30 minutes into my wait, but the vibe I got from the lady (who seemed to be the owner) was like she was trying to push away business. Take out business should be great business...they pay the same as seated customers but don't take up any overhead costs in the form of your server or seated space. Its a gold mine. Second, most restaurants will still take 20-30 minutes to get the food ready because there is a queue to respect of orders in the fryer (pun intended), so I felt that her emphasis on the wait time really made it seem like it was a long time. They left without ordering and that was a great lost sale. 2) Queue of people. It may have that small business feel, but it needs to get a big business front desk. There is no system of highlighting who came first and i saw it a few times where they would receive a burst of people all crowding around the front door. Unless the staff had a great memory they could make an error in seating people and create a sour experience for a potential future client. Getting a piece of paper and writing a name down would be a useful sales expense... I will say though that the owner does keep a sharp eye on the seated people. Our single server kept going to tables around us and never coming to us after he dropped the food. After I turned around and started looking for him, I saw her see me and literally guess what I wanted,and send the server to us...with ketchup (too much garlic)). So for what it's worth, I think I may have come on a bad day but I probably will stick to a milestones if I want some eggs next time....
