    We were looking for something to eat for breakfast/lunch and the corned beef in the window caught our eye. Amazing! My niece ordered the corned beef plate and the son and I shared the French dip. Both items were tasty!

    Maggie's kitchen in the original farmers market on Fairfax is a great valley having terrific Rubens pastrami sandwiches, corn beef on rye. Anything that you would find at a Jewish deli they even give you a pickle which is a delicious slight sour dill pickle with your sandwich, you can eat your food there at the tables or take it home Services quick and easy ambience is great.

    My friend and I are kind of obsessed with the Corned Beef sandwich here. They have many things at Magee's Kitchen but their Original World Famous corned beef sandwich is where it's at for me. Found within the Farmers Market at stall 624, this place is an institution in LA. They were first at Grand Central Market in Downtown LA opening in 1917 but have been stationed here in Fairfax since 1934. Their hot dogs are passable but I'd pass on ever having one again. The aforementioned Corned Beef Norm sandwich has 1000 Island sauce on it, Coleslaw and Swiss Cheese and it's just heaven. It's a must get! You can also get this with pastrami if that suits your fancy better, an equally good protein option. The fries are also kind of whatever. If you like horseradish, theirs is supposed to be special so give that a go. I'm a Magee's Kitchen fan and I'll surely be back.

    Windy City Chicago dog $13. Definitely too expensive and they don't give enough topping. It looks like more topping than it is. The bun was a little bit dry as well and it was just too much bread it wasn't a normal bun it was too thick. Good size dog though. Tested fine it just wasn't worth the price.

    Food: 3.5/5 Service: doordashed Ambiance: can't comment I doordash'd my corned beef plate from Magee's in honor of St. Patty's day. Being over a 100 years old, Magee's is supposedly THE spot for corned beef in LA! Only, I wasn't enthused to make the trek to the Original Farmers Market in this hot weather--Doordash it was! My corned beef wasn't out-of-this-world-delicious, but was still tender, only a tad dry. The spices and juiciness from the meat didn't come through as I was hoping. It comes with two sides of your choosing so I got the cabbage and the carrot salad. The cabbage was a tad overcooked but still okay, but the carrot salad was quite delicious and I'd get it again. Carrot salad had celery, raisins, apples, and just the right amount of sweetness, and for a gal who hates raisins, I still liked the carrot salad as it complemented the corned beef even better than the cabbage. I think this place has a lot of potential, but I docked off a star because I wasn't given an option to choose sauerkraut as a side. I can't really eat corned beef without sauerkraut, so hope they can change that for the future. Otherwise, I'd give this place another shot when I want corned beef again for next year's St. Patty's day! ;)

    I gave them 4 stars because they got my order wrong. Originally I placed an order for a Reuben Roast Beef but then I changed it to a Reuben with Corned Beef. I had a Reuben, French Dip Sandwich and a Corned Beef sandwich on my tray and didn't realize the error. I'm sure they would've adjusted the sandwich if I went back to let them know, but I was in a rush. The corned beef was awesome! I would give them another shot. The food was really good.

    We did a tour that ended at the Original Farmers Market. I've heard about Magee's kitchen's Rueben and today I was able to finally try it. Omg!! It was the best Rueben I've ever had. The sour kraut is tender and smooth tasting. Not sour. Complementing the meat and bread The corned beef is tender and flavorful without the typical fat. You can eat this sandwich without any effort to keep it together. You take a bite and everything comes n stays intact with a wow factor. It was such a treat Service was quick and you're able to watch them slice up the corned beef and assemble your sandwich. We ordered it for "here" and it was served on a handy tray This so you can walk the dinning area searching for an open table. We fortunately found a table within a minute. I ordered the root beer and it was amazing. Now I know the difference between mass production commercial grocery store root beer vs this specialty made I would have given 5 stars but the pricing is steep at $32 plus tip for one sandwich and a drink. Happy I had the farmers market experience. I recommend choosing this food stall especially if you're a Rueben connoisseur and only visiting as tourist and want to have something exceptional to experience at the Farmers market.

    We were visiting LA and we decided to stop by the Original's Farmer's market. This was our first time. The moment we walked into this place, I could smell a delicious savory smell and I realized it was coming from Magee's Kitchen. I am a huge fan of French dip, so after walking around the market, I quickly circled back here. I will admit the food that you see in the hot window display does not look fancy, but you sense their recipes have been around for quite some time. The prices however seem a bit steep. Some items they carry: Plates, sandwiches, soups, salads, hot dogs, homemade sides. (Things like Corned beef, Brisket, Parsley Potatoes, baked beans, Creamed corn, chicken noodle, beef stew, Kraut Dog, Mac N cheese) They also have some Mexican food and a few desserts. I got the French dip, which is one sandwich (meat and bread only) with 2 pickles and Au jus. It was around $20. I have to admit even without any condiments, no cheese, nothing on the bread. THIS WAS DELICIOUS. The Au Jus for dipping is crucial to have with this sandwich or it would be dry. The meat was good quality meat, it was not tough, but tender. Great Flavor. 4/5 Pickles were good too. Would I come here again? Probably, but not often since the prices are a bit high. Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 (knocking star off due to price) Ambiance: 4/5

    I finally tried the corned beef at Maggie's. Ordered the Reuben, which is one of my all time favorite deli sandwiches. Perhaps the buildup was too high for me but I wasn't blown away by it. There was nothing really wrong with the sandwich. Corned beef was tender and flavorful. I guess I was just expecting more from a 100 plus year establishment. Side note that felt kind of odd. For whatever reason they sell Mexican food here, which slightly bothered me. It's sort of like going to Katz Deli or Langer's and seeing tacos on the menu. Not sure why they do this but I wouldn't order an enchilada at a deli.

    Great service but overpriced sandwiches. I love Reuben sandwiches and this place immediately caught my eye. For $25 for the sandwich only I was expecting to be the best Reuben ever but it was just basic and honestly, I've had way better for like $15-18

    These two sandwiches were so delicious!! I had the corn beef sandwich and my mom had the roast beef with the sauce dip. The beef was so tender! The combination of the sauces mixed so well! We came here last Thursday and I am still thinking about that sandwich. The service was so friendly and attentive to our questions! They have pictures of menu items so it helped me out on trying to figure out what I wanted especially on a time crunch. Their spot is literally one of the first stalls I see when you enter inside the farmer's market. There was a line but everyone was able to get their order in smooth!y. I can see people sitting about at their tables smiling as they take a bite of their sandwiches and hotdogs and beef plates.

    Not worth it! 3 sandwiches costs $83!!! Plus you get rude service I asked few questions about the menu,the girl who took my order simply did not want to be there and answered my questions with extreme rudeness. Taste: corned beef - mediocre no side other than pickles. I thought the amount of meat you get for the price is simply not worth it. Pastrami-good, coleslaw add good flavor. Priced about $25, no sides. Nothing special and definitely it worth over $24 for Sandwiches! Be aware: the line can get crazy and the line moves slowly. We waited a total of 30 minutes including getting our food.

    The Carving Station
    Zan L.

    Open since 1917 I would say that Maggie's is the most famous deli at the Farmers Market. It's right in the center so it can get quite busy, but we were lucky enough to be first in line for our Saturday lunch. You order at the counter and then grab your food at the carving station. They don't offer inside seating so it will have to be at one of the many tables strewn about the Farmers Market. Everything that we ordered was made pretty quickly but pricing is a bit more expensive than some other places close by, but you really do get a great quality sandwich in return. Parking at the Farmers Market is probably the hardest part, not so much in that they have limited spaces but after 90 minutes parking can get pretty expensive per hour. Just be mindful of time and if you plan to be out in less than 90 minutes, parking is free. Being my first visit, I wanted to try their most famous sandwich which is the Corned Beef Reuben. I recently dined at Art's Deli up in the valley and got the same sandwich and preferred this Maggie's version a lot more. The meat is very juicy and the bread was perfectly toasty and overall the portion size was fair. Itt just had some great flavors. There are a few other places in town that I like even more, but it was a great version and I would happily order it again. I would definitely recommend to any sandwich or deli fan or to anyone who is visiting the Farmers Market and looking for a great food option.

    We go to Canter's a lot. We eat there and have pick up. I have not reviewed them in about 2 years…read moreso I thought is was about time that I reminded you how wonderful Canter's Deli is. First, the place is old and shows some wear. I find that charming and would rather they not change a thing. The place is large and can hold a lot of people. It also has a counter and behind a door is a bar area that sometimes has music. The place is always spotless and comfortable. You will never feel rushed. They have the best bakery which includes fresh bread, cakes, cookies and pastries. All of their food is great. We love the melts and anything with corned beef or pastrami on it. They make the best sandwiches and their soup is also great. They also have breakfast items and all are cooker perfectly. This is one of the best Jewish deli's in town.

    Having just celebrated its 80th anniversary, Canter's remains a fixture of the Fairfax district,…read morethough the light coming from this fixture is starting to flicker and fizzle big time. The large neon signs out front may appear properly retro at night, but look unpleasantly in need of repair in the daylight. The same is true of the restaurant's interior, with dim lighting, dull orange booths, and long-unpolished chrome giving the place a somewhat depressing aura. That visual is unfortunately paired with a sour, mildewed smell, as if the entire place had been wiped down with mops and rags that should have been thrown out months ago. Despite all this, I decided to stay and have the meal I'd planned, as I hadn't been here in a long time. There wasn't much business at 11am on a Thursday, so I slid right into a seat at the counter (the only person at the counter) and was deftly handled by a waiter named Jeff, who was pleasant and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed, and checking in on me several times during my meal. He's a good egg, and I hope he got a good deal more business before the end of his shift. Where Canter's gets some extra points is with their prices, which are currently several dollars below what you'll pay at the other legacy delis in town. The portions are a tad smaller, but are in no way skimpy; that said, my sandwich, soda and tax wound up being about the price you'll pay for just a sandwich at other places, so you're getting a decent bang for your buck. I ordered the Bronx Special, which is a combo sandwich of Pastrami and Chopped Liver. Canter's is the only place I know of in L.A. that serves this sandwich open faced, which allows you to more easily combine the two main items to your liking. The pastrami could have been hotter and a little juicier, but had good flavor without being too salty, so I found the compromise to be worth it. The Chopped Liver had a fresh and mild flavor, and had just the right consistency: a balance between creaminess and a rustic chop, reminding you at all times that you're eating Jewish style chopped liver, not paté. Cole slaw served on the side was fresh and cool, with a nice balance of bitter cabbage and sweet carrot. I personally would prefer that it be a bit creamier, but I know my wife, who intensely dislikes mayo, would really love this version. Pickles were of the half-sour variety, which I really enjoy -- and these had a nice pop of garlic and spice, so they made their presence known. In the end, a meal at Canter's is a mixed bag these days. The deli food may not be the very best in town, but is still quite decent, and the affordable prices are much appreciated. However, the dim lighting and physical decline of the venue combine to create the atmosphere of a dive, and that most definitely subtracts from the overall enjoyment of eating there.

So it seemed fitting to honor both of them and it satisfied my craving. The catered memorial looked great but it was difficult to make a proper plate. I always crave matzo ball soup. Luckily I had my fan to help cool off my soup. I did add a little salt and pepper. Other than that it was total comfort. $15 We shared a club sandwich and got French fries instead. All the condiments, Russian dressing, ranch come in prepackaged little containers. Ranch tasted fresh and homemade. I used a little of the Russian dressing. Is that a Brent's thing? $22 + $3 for French fries. I wanted a little sweet and got the blueberry cheesecake. That was the best cheesecake ever. Actual blueberries inside the cheesecake. So creamy and delicious. $11 Pickles are always my favorite. I got bagel chips with my matzo ball soup. I ordered corned beef and cabbage for my 99 year old mom. She said she didn't like the cabbage, no taste. She's 99 ‍ It's been a while since I was there. It feels the same. Booths and tables. Same decor. Our server Laura was super sweet and patient. Helpful in our decision making. Ricardo cracked me up because he brought a small soup container for my friend's cabbage soup. She was a little perturbed it was too small. Ricardo insisted it would fit and it did PERFECTLY.

The hot mustard really brings everything together and having the dip on the side prevents it from getting soggy and you can dip as much or as little as you like to create each perfect bite!

Everything was good but I wish the potatoes were more crispy. Overall everything is good but it definitely is a little pricey, esp for the portions, but it's an LA staple and I still love coming here. It's NY deli style ordering, you get to the counter and tell them what you want and they prepare everything for you on the spot so it's nice and fresh. They have their own free parking lot which is great for an LA spot. This place can definitely be super crowded during meal times and on the weekends so plan accordingly. Service is always great, there is a water station to help yourself and they will clean your table up for you when you're done.
