Probably the best French Dip I ever had. The bun was toasty, buttery and crispy around the edges. The beef was tasty and fall apart tender. The Au jus was very flavorful and perfectly salted. I got this with a side of perfectly cooked buttery crispy hashbrowns Their breakfast is also good read more

Came here with a friend helping him with his lake cottage. It was pretty much the only place open for breakfast as this was after Labor Day. Food was good and service was attentive. It's about what you'd expect in rural Wisconsin, but that's not a bad thing. I'd come back again if I ever found my way up here again. read more

Best little cafe in central Wisconsin! Always dependable service, very good food, clean environment and you MUST go on a Friday for their corn fritters. Best ever. But whatever day or time you go, the food is always fresh, hot and home made. When they say 'jumbo cinnamon roll' they mean it. It's the size of a 6" plate. Delicious! A little bit off I-39 (by about 4 miles), but it's a favorite stop. Been enjoying the food here since 2016. read more

Over the winter they went through a complete refresh. All new interior. They still have the same great service and food. read more

Frannie Mae's Cafe - 2025 New Interior. - Cafes Near Me - Oxford, Wisconsin

Served undercooked food 3 times out of 3 times there. Laundromat next door was a plus. Wanted to love.

Went on a Friday night. My wife and I both had the fried shrimp with baked potato. It also came with coleslaw, beans and fruit fluff. Our baked potato's were not cooked. They were microwaved before serving and hard as a rock, sent them back and could hear the microwave again. Still not done and cold in 30 seconds as most microwave food is. You mean you can't cook some potatoes ahead of time in a Nesco? The shrimp were fine but cold. Overall the food was edible but less than average on way over $30.00 for two folks. read more

Good food, great service and exceptional prices! Stopped in around noon and was seated immediately. Nice that they offer breakfast menu all day. read more

We come here a lot. It's in our general rotation of diners in the area. We have always have great food and service...until today. We arrived and there was maybe two other tables taken. An older man came in when we did, and an elderly couple came in after us. We had water, I ordered a special, and my husband a normal breakfast . I finished my water, the man and the couple both received their food before we did. We sat and waited. Waitress was not busy. It was 20-25 minutes. Hadnt checked on us, hadnt apologized for the wait. Our food was good. But husband said no tip would be given. Thats why I took one star off, for today. I realize there is a shortage of workers in hospitality, but there wasn't any reason for ignoring customers. I hope they resolve the issue before it impacts the business. This is how failing begins. read more

First time here and we arrived on a Saturday just after the breakfast rush. Wait was a tad long but not unreasonable for the time. Our waitress was a delight, fast and efficient and friendly. The food was reasonably priced and decent. ONLY disappointed was a PERSONAL one... I absolutely DISLIKE skins on my potatoes. Seems to be the trend since some "expert" said all the vitamins are in the skins, to which I reply.. BULL read more

Finally some healthy choices for breakfast as well as traditional stuff for my husband. Fresh fruit cup? Yes! Fruit and yogurt parfait? No. Fruit is like that for a sundae. Cranberry pancake? Big yes! Husband was happy with his eggs, hash browns, sausage and eggs. Good coffee and friendly staff. read more

The food's your classic greasy spoon restaurant. Solid options and prices, but they somehow managed to both burn AND undercook the bacon. Also, not the most attentive to orders with a 1/4 success rate on egg, toast, and hash brown preferences. Would eat here again if I'm killing time, but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

I was hesitant coming here because it had one star but then I realized there were only two reviews from three years ago. I had Country fried steak, potatoes, English muffin and scrambled eggs. Seriously one of the best breakfasts I've had. Nothing exotic, just great quality, taste and portion size... And they use real butter. read more

Oxford is a small town but worth the trip if only to stop at Frannie Mays Cafe. Never have I ever had a better grilled cheese. The Stuffed Grilled Cheese is bacon, ham, tomato and cheese served on sour dough bread. Amazing. Served with tasty side of fries. Frannie Mays is the place to go! read more

We go there about once a week for breakfast. The food is excellent and the service is fantastic.

We stopped for breakfast on the way home from staying in the dells on a girls weekend. The service was excellent and the waitress was very attentive, the coffee was always full and prior to our meal she came around with a plate of muffins for us! Food was hot and delicious and exactly as ordered. Delicious huge cinnamon rolls and perfectly cooked eggs. Next time we come around this way we will be sure to stop in again read more

Whent here with sone buddies that used to work at the closed BSA camp nearby. Food was amazing, very homie place. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Get the cinnamon bun and get another to-go. read more

Worst breakfast of my life! After waiting 45 minutes for my food it came out disgusting,whites of eggs were runny,bacon was as close to raw as possible, hash browns were cold and white no browning. The pancakes were good. This was my fist time there after hearing food is good, not sure what happened. I will not be back. read more

Good food, but the WiFi password evades me. I guess common ones like BBC69 and BBC69420gAypoRn but they did not work. Disappointed to say the least. read more

For a small town restaurant, they do very well. Very good breakfasts, a good variety of lunch sandwiches and hot lunches. We were recently introduced to this restaurant and have been back at least 8 times. Reasonably priced for the post Covid times. We've never had a bad meal. read more

We loved our breakfast here! We vacation in the area and normally skip breakfast, bad, I know... However we came here and will probably not skip breakfast in the future! I had waffles and my hubby had his protien blast of eggs/bacon. We loved it and will be back! read more

I do not know why this is rated so low. It has good basic food at excellent, fair prices. The menu is set up alacart and you add sandwiches and sides separately. We were there on a Friday and they looked to be doing a good fish fry with a few twists. In addition to fried cod and baked cod, they had walleye and salmon cakes and a bit more. We were there lunch time and wanted more traditional lunch. The BLT was well made with lots of bacon. The stuffed tomato, bacon, and ham grilled cheese was the ultimate in comfort food. With a root beer float and slice of pie, who could go wrong? Service might have been a bit slow, but with one waitress and a great view of the river, who cars? read more

Absolutely love the pancakes with cranberry!! We go out of our way to eat breakfast there!! Great place!!

We came here for breakfast Saturday morning. Thankfully we were able to get a table right away. Waitress was super sweet and funny. My boyfriend ordered the chicken fried steak and I biscuits and gravy. Now time to wait for our food... And wait... And wait... 45 minutes later breakfast finally arrives. The food was decent but I'm not sure I would go back again. read more

We loved eating here! Stopped in for a late brunch and walked away full and happy after eating some hash browns, a delicious omelet (me), and biscuits and gravy (my partner). We also each took a slice of pie home and they were DELICIOUS. Would definitely recommend the cherry and strawberry rhubarb! Our service was awesome and the waitress was very on top of making sure we had everything we needed and our coffee mugs were kept full. We look forward to coming back and trying the famous pancakes we keep hearing so much about! read more

We went one time as we have a travel trailer in the area that we go to a lot... Was dissapointed, I mean the WHOLE town talks about this place, but as this is the only real breakfast place near, we tried it. Have to agree with the one reviewer who said the food tasted "canned", no real flare there...and we were told the place was sold not to long ago..the attraction of seeing Maggie Mae is not like it used to be. Not much of a greeting when you come in...I would have thought for a Saturday breakfast, the hostess would be more upbeat, but no...My husband had a better kick reading the menu and telling the waitress the spelling on certain items were off...that was the highlight, Sad. read more

45 minute wait for breakfast once the order was in the kitchen. No communication from the server as to the wait. Apparently the owner went to a wedding and the only cook went outside to smoke! Food was marginal and service was terrible. read more

I have eaten here several times now since I have moved into town. The food is great and very reasonable priced. Now would think getting in there enough to have staff start to recognize me as a local and regular. Guess that isn't true. Today my service was so bad that I needed to put a review and doubt I will be going back there now. The waitress I had really didn't care I was there very rude didn't bother to see if I had coffee instead sat down and ate her own meal while I had no coffee and my food sat and got cold. I wouldn't eat here unless you a regular and they know you otherwise you won't get service. Too bad as I liked there food but I won't be back I am not paying to be disrespected read more

While working in the area Maggie Mae's was recommended to me.. After eating there three times (One of the few places in town), I would have to say I do not agree with most of the reviews. The Bumble Berry Pie is very good but the rest of the menu and quality is lacking. I received meals any where from bland average to frozen garbage. They pre-portion and freeze the sandwich meet then nuke it to order so you get either frozen centers or mushy over irradiated mush. In all cases it was mostly void of flavor. Oh and a sandwich, soda, and fries was over $10. In fairness I was told their breakfast was the best meal they served but on the day I was there they stopped serving breakfast at 11am. So at 11:05 they would not make breakfast.. Oh yeah the customer service is lacking also.. read more

This is one of those places that seems to be run by well-meaning folks who just don't get it. Our server seemed pleasant enough, but puzzled at how her life had brought her to this. Roast beef hash breakfast special was mushy and smothered in gravy, sunny side eggs seriously undercooked. In fairness I rarely find anyplace that cooks a sunny side egg properly any more, but I forget and order them anyway. The tale of local country music personality Maggie Mae provides a little distraction. Pecan pancakes over-leavened in a misguided approximation of fluffiness. Reuben sandwich contained a single thick slice of corned beef and had the thousand island dressing served in a pouch on the side. A kind of weird and slightly off experience both times I've visited. read more

The fish fry was one of the best I have ever had. I got the haddock, and it was hot and crispy. Baked beans were delicious, and the coleslaw was rich and creamy. You also get potatoes and dessert. I will go back. read more

You'll not be disappointed! My buddy and I were on a fishing trip and were looking for a cafe with local color. Great food (breakfast) attentive service, and an interesting story regarding Maggie Mae. read more

Wonderful, fun breakfast joint. Inexpensive "greasy Spoon" Breakfast food, Which is what you want for a vacation breakfast (personally). Low reviews come from an extremely unpleasent hostess. Shockingly Unfriendly. Such an odd choice for staff when the atmosphere is so upbeat and friendly. read more

We used to love Maggie Mae's every time we were in the area. It used to be the best place in the area for breakfast. Wow, did it go down hill fast! Recipes are different. Quality is now poor, service is lacking and prices are higher! I think not. That was our last visit! read more

Don't go there on a Friday night for fish fry, the first time there it took 3 times for my fish to come out cooked, breading was runny and the fish stuck together, sent back twice. when I finally received cooked, it was good. the 2nd time I went I took family, 5 of us, 4 of us got fish, granddaughter got chicken strips. the fish dinners were all way overcooked, didn't look like they were breaded, small pieces, like they were stretching what was left. Also said they were out of the cowboy beans and the fluff desert that also comes with. Called the waitress over and she says, well were out of fish, so we could order something else, we had already waited approximately 30 minutes to order as she was the only waitress. Also took approximately 30 to 45 minutes to receive the order, didn't want to wait again. They did eventually charge us only for my granddaughters meal and just the drink. Stay away, the owner isn't like most, as I mentioned to her about the 1st time there as I paid my bill, she rang me up the first time I was there, and she laughed when I mentioned to her it took 3 times to get my food cooked. She just got there before I was leaving, wasn't there to help that Friday either as the waitress was by her self, Stay Away, Far Away. Save Your Money. read more
