MaGerks is a good Philly Cheesesteak spot in Elon. I'd say equal parts sports-bar, college bar, and family-ish restaurant depending upon the time of day. The food is pretty-dern good and the flatscreens with various athletic contests are plentiful. The inside is bright and energetic befitting its sports-bar / college-kids bar vibe. The service is pretty quick and keeps-up well with the ever-entering patrons. I recommended to catch a game and likely host your college-student children and their friends when visiting from out of town ;) read more

The customer service lacked. The food was ok this time . The tomato and little piece of lettuce and small side of fries is not worth the $13. We need better customer service next time please read more

Not sure why my daughter waited 4 years to suggest we eat here. It is bar food but it is good. I read the owners are from Philly and the Philly cheesesteak did not disappoint. I also loved the Cajun fries. We sat on the patio and they were so nice to our puppies. We had just driven in from Nashville and the pups were really wanting water and to be out of the car. The waitress brought both of them their own bowl of water . Of course Ranger got lots of loves too. The nachos looked amazing (huge portions and every table that ordered them ate it all). Will have to do that next time. read more

MaGerk's Pub and Grill - Ranger enjoying the patio - Pubs Near Me - Elon, North Carolina

Downtown Elon/ Heart of the City / Also a part of the Elon Social District! Can take your drink to other establishments if they are apart of the Social District! This cute pub wasn't busy at all around 2pm. Lots of open space / multiple TVs. Waitress ( female started with an A) was very nice. Gave lots of suggestions on drinks and food. Looks like they are known for their cheesesteaks! We ordered cheesesteak appetizers and pretzel bites. Cheesesteak Appetizers were a little dry but I poured a little bit of the cheese from the pretzel bites on it - made it 100 times better. Drinks - Blackberry Lemon Mojitos = Amazing!! Strawberry Lemon Mojitos = Bitter. She asked and allowed me to choose another drink. Very appreciative!! Food was great! Wings = Yummmm Cheesesteak = Yummmmmm Side Cesear Salad = Delish! Can't wait to return to try their amazing macaroni and cheese selections!! read more

Service was amazing Food was decent. Needs seasoning. Drinks weren't all that. I do love the foam on the martinis.

Service and food were yeah so much better than the 3 star yelp rating! Bartender Jenna made us feel right at home.

Two ate for $55 before tip including an appetizer. Great bar atmosphere with sit down table seating - food was classic pub food. Clean, open air, full of tv's good service. They are known for their Philly cheesesteak anything's - the Nachos are insanely large. We got in and out on a crowded Saturday night. read more

Food is as good! Service was good but they were fairly busy & it is hard to have a conversation & hear the other person! There is nothing to absorb the sound!! read more

Gerks is awesome. Great friendly staff. Nachos are legit. Nice big open space with many TVs for sports viewing pleasure.

A lot would depend on what you order to eat. I have really good wings. The hamburgers are good the nachos are not so good. Sometimes they don't cook their chicken so good. And when you pointed out to someone no one does anything about it. Which is important read more

Awful experience. Upon arrival, we were told there would be a 45-minute wait for a party of six. An hour and a half later, after watching several parties of six seated around us, we approached the hostess and were told that the tables for six had all been converted for use for bingo games. "Sorry," with a shrug of the shoulders. Needless to say we left a bit angry. But less than 10 minutes later we were sitting at a table for six at The Root, a restaurant only a few steps away. Quick service and much nicer. read more

Absolutely Awesome! A taste of Philly in NC... Just wish you could get a cheesesteak wit Wiz. Youz Guyz gonna love it!

Pleasantly surprised considering this is a college town bar. Food was excellent and had a great vibe going.

These burgers are top notch! They are authentic burgers, thick, juicy and delicious! Their fries are amazing here as well! I highly recommend the food here. I've also had the cheese steak here and it is really good! Five stars! The outdoor seating area is pretty nice as well. Overall friendly service too. read more

I've been coming to this place for 3 years now and it's all you can ask for in a pub with TVs, a jukebox and an outdoor patio. It's a great spot to catch a game or just grab drinks with friends. Never been a huge Mojito fan, but after watching the bartender make a few here I had to try one and... wow. They're legit. Tons of beer on tap, which just adds to the appeal. read more

Horrendous service. Incredibly inconsistent food and drink experience and multiple issues with them not correctly following NC liquor laws. Will not return. read more

Food from the freezer tastes better. Typical bar setting. They need to stick to beer & football.

This picture is the only thing you need to know about my experience. But in case you were wondering, they cost $8. I can get double the amount of food from Wendy's for $4. They were out of fries, wings, and cheddar cheese. I am not mad just disappointed. Margarita was fire though. read more

Nachos are great, a big portion. Will be coming back, wasn't too busy and food came out reasonable time. No complaints

I would not recommend this place. The service is very slow and they do not accommodate guest well. I came here for drinks and they did not have the ingredients for the drink I ordered. Okay, fine I ordered another one after asking the waitress to confirm they would be able to make the drink I asked for. She said they had the drink available, however after waiting 30 minutes for a simple drink she comes back to inform me they can not make this drink. Now, why did I just wait 30 minutes for a drink I did not get? This could have been easily communicated, yet wait staff did not let me know and instead had me waiting there wasting my time. I ended up leaving because I did not have time to go down the menu and go back and forth on what they did and did not have. read more

We stopped into MaGerk's to have a bite to eat. There were more than a dozen empty tables (I know because I counted) but still a 30-45 minute wait. We figured with all those empty tables it wouldn't take so long, but we were wrong. Clearly they do not understand how to staff for a busy weekend. Anyway, when we finally did get seated a waitress greeted us almost immediately to get our drink orders & then took 10 minutes to get back to us with our very difficult order of 2 waters. Then she left promising to come right back; someone else came over to ask if a waitress had been by (because clearly we were sitting there without having ordered) & we thought she was coming right back (BIG mistake). Eventually she took our order & the food was fine (flatbread & the crab dip pretzel)- but not worth the wait or the horrible service. Then we waited forever for the check. Thank goodness my lunch date was so interesting because they clearly did not have enough people to run their restaurant properly. So, if you're not in a hurry, maybe check it out but I won't be rushing back there anytime soon. read more

Stopped her on our way out of town. Daughter goes to Elon and said we needed to try it out. The inside is your typical sports bar with 10 large screen tvs playing nothing other than football. Love the old Elon sports team pictures on all the walls, makes a nice connection to the college. Nick our server was very attentive and offered some great selections on what to eat. Our party ordered the Mac and Cheese, JD Triple B, and the Turkey Bog(seasonal). All the food was very good. I personally had the Turkey Bog, how can you go wrong with a Thanksgiving sandwich? Could have used a tad more cranberry sauce but otherwise it was very Yummy! read more

food was spectacular. service was unsatisfactor. this server who looked like her name would be amy did not come to our table but a couple of times, but rather spent the majority of her time with these college boys, assuringly flirting. read more

Magerks is a new bar at Elon University. Perfect for the students to hang out. Also a great new place for the locals. Clean place with great TV's. Enjoy the open air feel with the garage door open. Also a spacious outdoor seating g area. read more

Came in one time, and it'll be the last time. Sat at the bar and tried to order mozzarella moons which they were out of. (Only get 3 for $9) the nachos peaked my interest but not for $13. Enjoyed watching all 12 TVs while having a beer starving for some frozen food. read more

called in an order and the hostess was SO RUDE. we were trying to clarify something and she yelled over us "IF YOU WOULD LET ME FINISH ID GET THERE". i understand they were busy but super unprofessional behavior that was really disappointing read more

So this is a college bar so you can only expect so much but we went there to watch a press season football game since they have tons of TVs. We ordered an appetizer and sandwiches , they all came at the same time. When I asked the waitress about this her response was oh and I didn't see her until the check. I also asked her if they could put on the football game but her response was not when there is a home Elon game, huh ? There are around 15 TV's all different channels , you can't change any of them. Unfortunately this place is not managed well. read more

Excellent Service. Nachos were great and jeans was so helpful. You also can't beat $2 PBRs! I love magerks...

I wish I could give them zero stars, they don't even deserve one. First off our waitress was horrendous, she checked on us once and we physically had to walk in to pay our bill because she never came back and checked on us. However she didn't hesitate to check on a young college boy table multiple times, and would spend 5-10 minutes there at a time. Secondly the food was awful. There best seller is their nachos, and it was the worst nachos I have had in my life. Sour cream was white water, and they charge you extra for ranch and side dressing for fries and then don't bring it out to you. This place is a joke. Do not waste your time or your money. read more

We had the southwest nachos which was $13 and when you can count the black beans and corn on it and dig for the cheese, l would stay clear just as the chicken that was missing on them as well Service was good but that was it read more

As a new restaurant, there will always be hiccups. However, we've not found any that deterred us from coming back again and again. My family loves the atmosphere, friendly faces, food and service offered here. After only the second time returning, our waitress said "welcome back!" and it made us feel great to be offered open arms as a new resident of Elon. We love Magerks and are looking forward to supporting this establishment for many years! read more

We came to McGerk's with my son, husband and mother in law tonight. Very disappointing. I got the chicken McGerk which is supposed to come with lettuce, tomato, bacon and avocado. I asked for it with no lettuce or tomato. It came with chicken, cheese and bacon. It was very dry. I asked for some guacamole and after 5 minutes the waiter came back and said they were out of guacamole. I said "that must be why there's no avocado on it" and he said ,"oh- yeah". My mother in law got the spicy shrimp wrap and it came with edamame. She asked about another side and was told she could get chips. My son got. $10 cheeseburger and it was too crispy for his taste. Overall, not very impressed. read more

We love going here!! You have to have the crab Pretzel, you will not be disappointed. Friday and Saturday nights are pretty packed due to the fact that the college kids are there. However we still enjoy MaGerk's every time we go ! read more

I love this place, friendly staff, wonderful prices, only thing its missing is a juke box and a few games.

I like this place. Very chill environment. Definitely going to come back. Good drinks, great staff, great food.

We've eaten there before when visiting our daughter at Elon and enjoyed the casual food and atmosphere. However, today was a disaster. Our food took over an hour and when our wings came (a favorite from our last visit!) they were terrible. They were dry and overcooked, all drumsticks with some not even full wing pieces. Really disappointing. The bathrooms were dirty with both broken soap and paper towel dispensers. MaGerk's should do better for the students and families of Elon. read more
