Maggie McFly's | Manchester - Shepherd's Pie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

This is the email I just sent corporate to share my experience, I figured I'd copy and paste instead of rehashing it. Hello, I'm writing because I had an uncomfortable experience at Maggie McFly's today that I feel is important to share, especially because this restaurant has been such a big part of my son's life. We've celebrated multiple birthday gatherings here, as well as his middle school graduation. It's genuinely his place. It is not my personal favorite, but we come because he insists Maggie McFly's has the best grilled cheese. Every visit, without fail, we order two grilled cheeses for him. Today, he ate the first one and it was perfectly fine. When he started on the second, he immediately said it tasted fishy. He kept trying to eat it because he didn't want to make a fuss, so about half of it was gone by the time we let our server know. She was very friendly and immediately said she would bring it to the manager. What happened next is what prompted me to reach out. The manager came over holding the half-eaten grilled cheese at an angle, almost like she was presenting it as evidence. The first thing she said was, "I'm confused, half of this is already eaten." My son explained again that it tasted fishy, and instead of empathy or even a simple "I'm sorry that happened," she repeated, "I'm still confused," as if she didn't believe him. There was no apology, no attempt to make the situation right, just an attitude that left both of us feeling uncomfortable. I even said, very clearly, that he was still hungry and I was happy to pay for another sandwich. I wasn't asking for anything free. I simply wanted my son to get something he could eat. Later, after the replacement sandwich came, she walked up behind us, saw that I had the Maggie McFly's website open on my phone, and said, "Did that come out better for you guys?" The tone suggested nothing had just happened, as if she hadn't been dismissive minutes earlier. The disconnect felt jarring. We got an $8 credit toward the bill at the end. The entire interaction felt dismissive and shaming, especially with the way she held the sandwich and questioned him. And the impact was immediate. My son walked out saying he never wants to come back, and that's really the most unfortunate part. This restaurant has been his favorite for years, the place he chooses for milestones and celebrations, and the one time he spoke up about something being wrong, he was made to feel small for it. read more

My husband and I had a great meal on Friday night at 6 pm. I had a lovely Kale and Quinoa salad with salmon and my hubby had the seafood paella. Both dishes were delicious! Our server, Caytlyn was very pleasant, attentive but not overly so, and helpful in pointing out some of her favorites. The timing of our food and drink orders was perfect. We will be back! read more

Went for a lunch on Easter Sunday. Our waitress was wonderful. Bartenders messed up a margarita and we weren't charged for it regardless. Please take spareribs off the menu. It's ridiculous. You have not had spare ribs and years, but yet , you still advertise them? Ordered prime rib and it was cooked on a flat top like a ribeye steak in very thin. I still love the butternut squash soup though. read more

The entire experience from start to finish was a disaster. Our waitress wanted to do well but stumbled at every turn. Our cocktails weren't delivered until after the beers we ordered on the advice of our server bc the bar was backed up. They were all delivered at the same time so that the beers, which came out lukewarm to begin with, were not enjoyable at all by the time we got to them. The entire delivery experience was disastrous. My burger had to be sent back because it was cooked well done instead of medium rare and when the replacement came out, it clearly had the same condiment dressing from before. Our server was well meaning but very clumsy. The ladies room was disastrous-completely unattended, not stocked and filthy. The whole experience was just very unpleasant. I do not recommend unless you are forced. read more

Great variety of food on their menu, you can find something for everyone! Service was good and the order was accurate, good value for the price. Restaurant is quiet enough to have conversations over lunch, even when they are busy. read more

I really like Maggie McFly's but I have to Zoink them on a few things tonight. First, drinks took a while to get to us. Then everyone else in our party of 6 got their food first except for me. I'm ok if my food comes 30 seconds later, but literally at least 5 minutes later? When we asked where the food was, they said there was a mixup in the kitchen and it would be a few minutes later, I already waited 5 minutes! Then only got $8 off $22 chicken tenders that were described as beer batter chicken tenders with bbq maple mustard, they were just plain chicken tenders with honey mustard probably off the kids menu. read more

Menu is impressively huge, so there will definitely be something for everyone. It's got a hip vibe with lots of TVs at the bar area and big, comfy booths. Service was pretty slow. They were also very stingy with plates. Plates usually come with appetizers, in my experience, but not here. We asked for a couple extras to divvy up the apps and received tiny plates. Then we asked for bigger plates. They did relent eventually. Was a bit weird though. Thoughts on food: -difference between snacks and apps was unclear and was basically the same thing -black angus beef skewers were a little pricey for 3, but the meat was juicy and I dug the rice noodle garnish it came with and enjoyed that as an extra snack -giant pretzel has a good crunchy exterior and soft interior. The cheese sauce was really watery but the mustard sauce was fine -broccolini was a good portion -maple roasted sweet potatoes were great, sweet little bites -campfire s'mores was a really unique dessert. A little tableside flame and the fixings to make your own sandwich. The flames were very low, which is probably a safety thing, so roasting took forever, but it's a unique dessert offering I was glad to try out. Overall there were some hits and misses, but the food was still pretty good and has a lot of offerings if you are bringing a group. They have a display case with some of their big cupcakes. I'd try this place again. read more

I'll be very honest. I have never been a fan of Maggie's. I've visited the Glastonbury location numerous times and have never found any redeeming qualities. But that all changed when I visited the Manchester location. The decor is much nicer, bar area is larger and cleaner, staff is friendly and helpful. We had a large group of 12-16 people so I was expecting the worst after all my bad experiences in Glastonbury but they proved me wrong! Everything came out fast and hot. Drinks were made great, everyone was pleased. I ordered a salad and the portion was HUGEEEEE. Totally worth the money. I always fight when someone asks me to go to Maggie's in Gbury but I won't complain if they ask to go to Manchester after the very positive experience I had here. My only *negative* is that the menu is Cheesecake Factory status - thicker than an encyclopedia. It can be a bit overwhelming trying to decide what to eat. I appreciate the variety of options but sometimes there is such a thing as "too much." read more

So as soon as I clicked one star, the website said oh no! What could we do to improve? - What couldn't you do to improve? Let me stop. I say we've been to several other locations of Maggie McFly's and I've always had a very good experience until this time. My husband took me to Maggie McFly's for Mother's Day. I have had bariatric surgery which severely limits my stomach size and I have a card given to me by the doctor to present at restaurants When I wanna request a smaller meal or something that's the senior or children's menu. It's considered an ADA request. So I don't take advantage of this very often, but I noticed that the meal that I wanted to order was on their weekday lunch menu. So I explained my situation to our waiter who went back and asked the manager if he could grant it. I don't believe my request was effectively communicated back to the manager. But she said no. So because that's really what I felt like eating, I said well it's too bad that you won't honor an ADA request but, I guess I'm gonna order the full portion. And I did. It was a bad choice because it was absolutely tasteless. - I ordered the vegan ravioli. It barely had any sort of sauce or oil on it. It was dry, and it was bland. So the entire time we were eating, I was getting more and more annoyed about the fact that they wouldn't honor my request because it is on their menu. It shouldn't have been a big deal. So when the waiter brought the bill over we gave him the card. And then we asked to speak to the manager. She came over with such an air about her - it was borderline rude like we were bothering her. And I looked at her and I said you know I'm very disappointed that you wouldn't honor my request for a smaller portioned meal considering it's an ADA request and I showed her my card and she looked at me and she said well I didn't know and I looked at it and I said ignorance on the laws isn't acceptable in your position. And that I would be contacting management. And she said I'll contact management. She didn't offer to do anything to mitigate the situation, she didn't offer anything at all. I mean, we were done eating and I didn't expect her to but usually as a customer service focused person you do offer something. She just walked away. She should not be in a management role. So the next day I wrote a lengthy letter to headquarters. Who told me that the card given to me by the doctor was incorrect and that it's not an ADA requirement that they provide a smaller meal to me. Per the card I have, it states that they could be fined for it so I'm not sure where the disconnect is - But like I said, my request wasn't off the wall where I was asking for something that wasn't already on their menu. And because of the bad taste that that manager left in my mouth, and my tasteless food. - and then the response from management. We will not be back to Maggie McFly's. There are much better places to eat that offer. Much better customer service. read more

My friends and I were coming back from vaca and decided to stop here for lunch. I've never been here before but I enjoyed the food immensely. I liked both the indoor and outdoor decor and our waitress was friendly and enjoyable to talk to. I already went way off my normal diet during the vaca so I decided to get only vegan food. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were able to accommodate me completely. The vegan ravioli dish was very delicious. Veggie filled ravioli that were so big they reminded me of pierogis. Good bite on the pasta and the insides tasted great. Lots of fresh veggies on top including sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. The herb sauce was so good that I asked for bread to sop it all up cuz I didn't want it to go to waste. I finished with their vegan cookie dough cupcake, which was delectable. The cake portion was low sugar to offset the high sugar of the frosting and chocolate chips. Make sure to get a little bit of the top and bottom in each bite. I was very impressed by this place. I definitely want to come here again, whether I feel like being healthy or not!! read more

The menu is huge so you may want to have an idea of what type of food you want. They have several seating options and the staff were amazing. When you walk in they have an array of desserts and treats in a case so you may want to take a look and plan your dessert when ordering. The portion size is large and allow for sharing multiple entrees. There are televisions to watch games and shows as well, very nice atmosphere. read more

I went to Maggie McFlys on St Patrick's Day for dinner with2 friends. We were seated straight away in a booth near the bar. I have a Gluten allergy and I appreciate the amount of GF options at Maggie McFlys. We started with the Brussel sprouts. They were amazing. The aioli mayo just makes it all the better. I had a bacon cheeseburger, medium rare and it came medium rare. The GF bun is cheesy and my favorite GF bun. It's so good. I had sweet potato fries b/c they have a dedicated GF fryer. So good!! My friend had the garbage burger. She said it very good and easier to eat than she anticipated. We had a great time and the food was very good. read more

DONT DO IT Came here with a family of 4. Red flag was no people in the restaurant. They sat us at a table that had two chairs and a booth on one side. We asked if we could switch to a full booth as there was open booths and no one in the restaurant and was told no. Asked the waitress for a recommendation who almost gave us a look like nothing was good another red flag. Continued to order because we were hungry. Ordered a margarita that tasted like dishwater. Philly egg rolls came out greasy. Ordered pasta with marinara sauce which was horrendous. The chicken ceaser wrap and fries were STALE. Complete waste of money and left starving. Hope we don't get food poisoning. Never again don't even try. read more

Love this place! Walked in and was seated immediately. What a menu - options for everyone! Our food was hot, fresh and delicious. The server was kind, attentive and friendly. Overall the place was clean. I'd return and recommend. Parking was easy. Bathrooms were also clean. read more

"Oh, dirty Maggie Mae They have taken her away And she'll never walk down Lime Street anymore" (The Beatles) The best part of our dining experience at Maggie McFly's was the food. We ordered two sandwiches -a Nashville Hot Chicken with pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a sweet Dijon Aioli served with fries. It was outstanding -a huge slab of fried chicken, nicely spiced on a soft potato bun for $14.95. The fries were so hot they seemed as if they were taken right from the fryer and brought to our table by an Olympic sprinter. A terrific dish. My wife ordered a Turkey Club ($15.95) with a TON of roasted turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, and maple smoked bacon. It came with the same excellent fries. Now on to the other aspects of our visit which were not as good. We were seated at a booth with a wobbly table and sunlight beaming into our faces. After we moved to a different booth, there was some confusion among the staff as to whose "station" we were in. We asked for a water and a Diet Coke, and just the Diet Coke arrived. The water was forgotten. General service was slow and failed our litmus test of a "check back" to see how things were going. There were no offers to refill our beverages, and the final straw was the very piggish charge of $3.45 for my Diet Coke. read more

Sometimes when you are on vacation it's hard to find a healthy meal when no one else wants to eat healthy lol. Lucky for us Maggie's has an extensive menu with lots of great offerings. My dinner was delicious. It's probably weird to say that cauliflower rice is good but this cauliflower rice was fantastic. So flavorful with asparagus and mushrooms. Loved the grilled shrimp. Cooked perfectly and came out hot. Not a fan when food comes out lukewarm. Everything on my plate was nice and hot including the squash which was also very good. My husband enjoyed his steak salad and my son got chicken tenders from the kids menu. Nice portion sizes. We didn't have room for dessert. I was looking forward to a big cupcake so we'll have to try that the next time we're visiting again. read more

Stopped overnight and ended up choosing here because everyone in the family wanted a different type of cuisine. The menu is robust and it can be difficult to decide. We had tacos, pasta, seafood and they were all good. The portions are huge. Service was good. The atmosphere is a little loud for my taste. Only negative was they didn't have the beer I wanted and the one I ended up getting was bad. I recommend giving it a try. read more

Server Ashley was wonderful: prompt, helpful and wore a constant smile. Food was"okay" l but not worthy of a higher rating.

As a Gluten Free eater this place is a great option. They have many options in all categories of their menu. We had fries, wings the clam chowder and the baja chicken and shrimp. It was all pretty decent. The staff were super cool and the space was clean. read more

Never have a bad meal here. When I don't have a craving for something I always know there is a massive selection of food to choose from that hits the spot. Still trying to only eat something I have not yet had here and so far so good. Today's new item was the chicken and rice soup. Absolutely delicious! Ordered the BBQ Brisket meal which was ok. Wasn't the best cut of meat and the bbq sauce was overpowering. Mac was warm and cooled quick being on an open plate which was cool to the touch. I enjoyed the squash. Carrot cake to go. Always my dessert option here being in my top two carrot cakes I have eaten. Fisherman's View on the cape has a good carrot cake which gives here a run for its money. Enjoy your meal! read more

This is a textbook example of a business that has simply given up. Ho-hum food coupled with no attention to detail and horrible service. Don't order them on DoorDash - they can't get any order correct, and don't seem to have any desire to fix their mistakes. read more

Another one of my favorite and fun restaurants. They have something for everyone! I ordered the Vegan Ravioli with Arugula, roasted tomatoes with garlic and artichokes. I did however add blackened shrimp with the dish. I also ordered a take home of the delicious chicken buffalo with ranch dressing. My friend ordered the Chicken Buffalo salad along with ranch. The atmosphere is always s amazing and a Shout out goes to our amazing waitress Sharon. She was knowledgeable about the delicious dishes and offered some recommendations. read more

First time trying it out. We found it on Yelp. What ever you are in the mood to eat, Maggie McFlys has a very extensive menus. They have all kind of variety. We order fish & chips and teriyaki bowl. The food was delicious and very happy we stop in. We were waited on right away and our server Thomas was very attentive. Very helpful with all our questions. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Normally I don't enjoy "chain" restaurants but this a local chain with just a few locations in Connecticut and they have somehow retained all the charm and quality of the original. I have visited 3 of their locations so far and not been disappointed yet! The warm inviting ambiance of the cognac colored leather booths and the throwback antique light fixtures are so pleasing to the eye! The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had the maple BLT and the protein grain bowl with salmon. Both were undeniably tasty and significant portions. Prices are reasonable. I wish we lived closer to one of these! Southeastern CT needs a Maggie McFlys's! Excellent all around. read more

Place is awesome. We came here for brunch and drinks, and had a good time. I started off with some Street Tacos. That plate was good with some rice and all. Food is not so expensive here. We also enjoyed the bar area. They have good drinks here. I had some Margueritas on the rocks. We did our best not to have too many drinks. All in all, we had a wonderful time. read more

As always the food was great!! The portions are huge. The fact that they have such a large selection of Gluten Free items, is so wonderful for my daughter!. My family of six ate here on Sat March 1st, and what made our visit so spectacular, was our server Melissa!!! She was funny, kind and exceptional at her job. It was a pleasure to see someone enjoying their work and going out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of. Bravo Melissa!!!!! read more

Went on Wednesday for lunch. Heard they had a new gluten free menu. My daughter got the new steak sandwich with fries. I got the Chinese chicken salad. Her role was awful as it was microwave to long and was hard. But the steak and fries were delicious. My salad was huge. Was so good I felt awful as I couldn't bring the leftovers home because we were going shopping for the day and it would have gone very bad in the car. We had a young man as a waiter. He was obviously new to this. He was very polite and respectful. The raspberry martini was also delicious. We will go again as there are more gluten free choices. Which is very hard to find. read more

We went with family and sat out on the patio. It was a lovely setting despite being in the mall parking lot! The menu is very expansive (20+ pages). Honestly it's a bit overwhelming. They have lots of drink options both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. Everyone at our table enjoyed their drinks. My grandma loved the glowing ice cube in her cosmo! The appetizers that we got were delicious- calamari, firecracker shrimp, deviled eggs, and fried mozzarella. The sauced to go with the appetizers was great too. I got the garlic shrimp and vegetable risotto. It was absolutely delicious. Very rich and large portion so it would be hard to eat it in one sitting. The lobster roll was tasty but nothing one at the shore. All in all it was a great dinner. Everyone can find something on the menu. I think you could go 100+ times and not be able to try everything. Server was nice and helpful. One negative is the bathrooms are not marked at all until you go around a hidden corner. They should really fix that with a tasteful sign. read more

--- I recently visited this location again after a few years and was highly disappointed. We received better service at the bar than from our waitress, who was completely inattentive, forgot one of our entrees, and was listening to music on her AirPods??? We waited 30 minutes for our check. The last time I was here, the service was also questionable, and the owners response on Yelp was unsatisfactory. Nothing has changed. Despite the awesome menu, the service at this location is still lacking. Again, based on my "full dining experience", I am once again unsatisfied. And this time, the review stays. read more

Terrible establishment. Horrible experience with corporate. Love when theyblame the consumer for wrong doing. What a joke this place is. Would recommend any other place rather than this place. Staff is rude and kitchen needs cooks that actually care about the food they put out. Wish I could give negative starts read more

I came for dinner for the first time in years and was not impressed. I love the look of this restaurant, the aviation theme, the huge bar with booths, and a menu that features local farms. However our dining experience just didn't live up to the ambience. We started with pretty simple drinks, a glass of wine, aperol spritz, and two vodka sodas. There was a back up at the bar so it took quite a while to get the drinks! Our waitress kept us in the loop and was super nice about it, and the drinks were well made once we received them. For food we started with the egg roll sampler. I wanted to love this, but the presentation gave me the ick. You could pretty much tell it was all frozen & reheated. Looking at a menu of this size, you pretty much guess most of the dishes are like that, but you hope otherwise. It was confirmed when I bit into the egg roll and it was still frozen. Yikes! The parts that were edible tasted good, though. Our entrees were decent -- nothing I'd go out of my way to have again though. I tried the new creamy garlic pasta with shrimp. The shrimp was nice, maybe a little over done, and the pasta was mushy. The sauce cheesy and tasted good. Everyone else's felt their dishes were just alright. I used to love coming here with friends -- but unless they condense the menu and maybe use more fresh (not frozen) foods, I won't be back for awhile. read more

Everyone loves this place. I think it's okay. Only reason I come here is for the drinks at the bar. Service isn't great when dining in. Their menu is huge which makes their food not so great. I've had their club sandwich and it's not bad. Their fries are decent when they come out hot. Pasta is a negative along with the burgers. The bar area is really nice. Dining area is nice too. I say go for drinks and don't eat there. There's better places for food. read more

Hit and miss. Today was a miss. It happens, but with increasing regularity. This place should be 5 stars each and every time. They have everything right on paper, but they fail so often in the simple things. Waiting at the hostess station for 10 minutes to be acknowledged, let alone seated, is a common occurrence. And if you're getting take-out, open everything and check it to make sure it's right before you leave. Because something will be wrong. It's sad, because I love the place, but the basic fundamentals are falling apart. read more

My wife and I went back on Dec. 27, 2025. The meal itself was fine but when it came time to pay the bill, I used a Vanilla Visa gift card. When the waitress came back with the processed bill it showed that a 20% tip was already charged to the card. I was probably going to give it anyway but I inquired why they did that. The waitress gave me some vague excuse. I spoke to the manager and she could less about my concerns. Not happy, I contacted their executive offices the following day. It took a day for them to respond. The person I talked to wasn't concerned at and basically told me to go pound sand. I will never step foot in another Maggie's. read more
