This review is not for the service at all. Both my boyfriend and I went inside the middlebury location to order "takeout" . We went inside and ordered and waited for our food, which mind you came out in a very timely fashion. The restaurant was pretty dead for a Saturday so I actually figured the food would be done quickly. What I didn't figure was when I got home with my order that I would see 3 chicken tenders in my order. 3!!! I paid 12.99 for 3 chicken tenders and a half pound of French fries. I am so disgusted at this restaurant. Covid or not there should be no reason why my order only came with 3 chicken tenders. Absolutely ridiculous. Never again am I coming to this establishment. This is not the first time I've been disappointed by them but it will be the last. I could of went to McDonalds for half the price .. So disappointing I wish I could give no stars read more

This place is always hit or miss for me. Wanting a good beer and fresh pasta, I came in last night for a late evening dinner. Amy the bartender was attentive. The taste of the food was good as well, but it seems there is always something missing in the attention to detail here at Maggie's. First off, a "Little Cranky" IPA which is a 4.5% alcohol volume was served in an 8 ounce glass! Are you kidding me? For the price charged? Budweiser draft has more alcohol than this beer and is served in a pint glass. Second, there is no fresh cracked pepper in the establishment and last but not least, no parmesan cheese for my pasta! :( It's just the little things that add up to us not wanting to return. read more

Maggie McFly's - Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip... (all garlic bread with no veggies) - New American Near Me - Middlebury, Connecticut

Had a bad experience with a take-out order a while back, I must say I had to change my rating to five stars. Since Covid I've been ordering often thru doordash, I always have modifications, sauce requests (Maggie's makes them in-house soo good) and they've improved tremendously, everything is always absolutely perfect! read more

I was fooled at first: The place looks super cute but DO NOT go if your not white. People were rude probably racist now that I think about it. The waiter continuously forgot to bring something. Never checked on us when food was dropped off. Never asked for a refill, one drink for 3 unnecessary hours. Never came to pick up the check. I ask another waiter for help and rudely said" wait for your waiter." Lucky I had cash & we left. Food was cold we order a bunch of apps and the nachos were awful how was the cheese already cold when it got to the table?.. no it was not a busy night, we sat right down. Looked like all the minorities and big families are to be sat upstairs do better Middlebury. read more

So this was the second time a gave Maggie McFly's a try and I'm so glad I did. The first time I went last year I was so overwhelmed with their 40 page menu... now since the pandemic the menu is concise and the quality of the food is wayyy better!! So the interior is fun! It's got a huge plane inside and the decor is like rustic meets industrial. The waiters are super nice! The menu has different options for gluten free, vegan and carnivores of course lol!! The size of the plates are huge! I truly loved that my tacos were offered with bib lettuce due to diet changes. The shrimp and lobster tacos are Devine! We started off with hot, cheesy spinach dip that came with homemade chips, bread and veggies!! Pssst little secret we ordered another bowl of that magic dip! Ha ! It's that good! I think Maggie's also has the most delicious eggplant fries I ever had! Crunchy and not soggy with the perfect seasoning. We just devoured it all! My friend got the bbq salad and that looked amazing they finished it all. Their salads are like mountains here for sure!! My other friend got the country fried chicken and the mashed potatoes she got with it were heaven!! So creamy & fresh you can tell it was homemade in house. To be honest I also just did a happy hour there last night too hhah. The only downfall is they run out of deserts here seeing as though they get it from a local private company. This is becoming a nice local spot I enjoy going to! read more

I am immediately struck with nostalgia every time I walk through the doors of Maggie's when I smell the wood burning. This institution has been present throughout my life growing up in the area. I even worked here briefly until I dumped a beer on a customer - not good. But I have spent many an evening in the bar in my twenties and thirties- and I have enjoyed bringing my own kids after a day at the lake. I almost always order the buffalo chicken salad and the spinach and artichoke dip. The menu is almost overwhelmingly large- but it means that everyone you are with can get whatever they want. Family visiting the area from England, after moving overseas for more than a decade, suggested Maggie's as a spot for a drink and a snack- it was like time stood still- in a good way. The comfort, reliability and familiarity of Maggie's added to the joy of our reunion. read more

Been going here for years, started back in my college days of going here for lunch, getting sauced and then heading back to sit in my miserable Eng 101 class. Anyway..... fast forward 20 years, and I enjoying coming here with the wife and kids. The menu is ginormous, so many options to choose from, always fresh and creative ideas coming out of the kitchen. Everything from fish, chicken, huge salads, to healthy kids choice menus, & lots of gluten free options. I highly recommend the Middlebury or Southbury locations. Always busy for dinner, so call ahead. Keep up the great Was there again recently, had something called a rice & cheese bun, on my veggi burger are you kidding me? I can finally eat a "bun" with my burger! So creative!! read more

My husband and I come here on occasion since the location is near to home and the menu has enough variety to please everyone. Last night (Wednesday) we came for dinner and it was jam packed! I'm not sure if everyone was just taking advantage of the lovely weather or if there was an event in town. In either case, we were seated right away and got our drinks. I've been traveling for work recently, so we had a lot of catching up to do! I knew that we were waiting a while on our food, but the place was packed so I figured it would take a while for the kitchen to catch up to us. When the food came out, our server Sierra let us know that since we had waited so long, the food was on the house! That was am unexpected but kind gesture, and we made sure to tip accordingly. Thank you for the excellent service and I'm sure we'll be seeing you soon! PS the Korean style taco was amazing! read more

Maggie McFly's - Flight of drinks was fabulous! - New American Near Me - Middlebury, Connecticut

The food was good from what i had. The waitress was more than pleasant to talk with. The atmosphere was nice. My biggest complaints are the food pricing (but im sure that is what it is now a days) and it appeared closed from the outside at night. read more

I came with a friend last night for a nice relaxing evening and good food. I've come to this restaurant many times in the past and watched it go downhill. Last night was the worst. It took over 10 minutes for the waitress to greet us. The restaurant was not really busy I must add. It took another 10 minutes to get water after asking if we wanted drinks. We then ordered French Onion Soup and an entree. It took roughly 15 minutes for the soup to arrive and the cheese on top was not even melted. The soup was served luke warm. FOSoup should be served piping hot with the cheese baked on top. I've ordered this several times and the restaurant NEVER seems to get it right. We couldn't finish the soup since by the time we got half way through it was cold. After the soup we waited another 15 minutes then lost or appetites. We in formed the wait staff that we were leaving. I looked into the kitchen and the meals under the warming light and did not see our order. It wasn't even being prepared. If you like slow service and luke warm food, Maggies is your place. Not my cup of Tea. read more

I've gotten food from here just a couple times before. Tonight I ordered a Buffalo cauliflower salad and with no surprise the salad was wrong but it was ok the issue(s) was the dressing...it was spicy af! My nose was peeling from the inside out from how strong that horseradish was (I assume cause it tasted like that) but wait it gets worse, I chewed on something and spit it out, it was like a partially frozen piece of a fry Wait it gets evennnnn worse...I'm not even half way through when I spot something weird & beholdddd what do I find? A sliver of some sort of metal...THIS is why I barely eat food from places anymore. That honestly was a waste of money. I should get a refund . We didn't rush them not even when they made us hold on the phone for a good chunk of time. There really wasn't any reason to be served like that, I get it it's busy but I much rather wait then throw out all my food because of that nastiness...this is my little push to just go grocery shop and cook at home read more

They have an unbelievable amount of options. Food is ok, which is expected from a place with too many options. But for sure they will have an option for everyone. I'm just concerned about the quality of the products and the freshness... in order to keep to many available items read more

I have multiple concerns about the décor of this establishment. Columns of granite at the entrance lead you to believe that this may be a five star restaurant, but then upon entering, you find a large tiki bar framed by two large palm trees. Cool? A surprise Polynesian motif. Not quite what I was expecting, but wait--are those Native North American totem poles serving as pillars to the balcony? There are canoe frames bolted to the ceiling alongside a WW1 fighter plane and a very old race car. A cherub chandelier allusive to old nautical design dangles over the stairs, and other miscellaneous paraphernalia sprinkle the interior of the large, open room. Puritan pews are what you'll sit on if you get seated on the balcony. I must ask, what is the unifying theme between this series of very confusing decorations? I wish I could say. The gigantic book handed to us turned out to be the menu, this crowded with an anxiety-inducing number of options to choose from, and caked with hand grime from the hundreds of people that menu has been touched by before me. Speaking of grime, the stainless steel salt and pepper shakers looked like they too had not been cleaned for months. I ordered the pear and brie salad and the butternut squash soup. The tower of salad could barely be contained by the plate. It was almost impossible to eat without it falling onto the table. The soup was rather sweet, but a little grime-salt made it quite good. As for the salad, it was delightful. The ingredients were fresh, and it was a pleasant combination of flavors that made a very satisfying lunch. The waitstaff was a little awkward, but overall very polite. The most offensive thing was, by far, the interior design. I don't even know who Maggie McFly is or why she has all this stuff. read more

Food was very good and our server Austin was very patient with my family and I. We ordered: Spinach Artichoke Dip - My husband and son just loved and couldn't stop eating Wings, both with no sauce and Buffalo and they were really good and crispy Cajun Jambalaya - my husband loved it. He said it was delicious Cajun Co - I loved very much. It wasn't dry and the spice was just enough Kids pasta and kids filet medallions - both my kids ate it all up. I was happy to see. Huckleberry Lemonade - liquor - my husband said he wanted to try something new. I ordered him this and he said it was really good. Ordered a second. GF Tuxedo Cupcake - my husband said he will taste it here and save the rest for home and when I looked up it was gone. Safe to say, it was great? read more

I was here on Saturday and Raeanne was our server. Absolute 15/10 service. She was so personable, extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful. It was a busy Saturday night, we had no idea what to order, or where to even start; she was not rushing us whatsoever, gave great suggestions & lots of patience. Everything was great, but SHE is exceptional. I myself have been in the industry for 13 years & have been to many restaurants and had all types of service. She by FAR has been the absolute best server I have ever experienced. This girl deserves a raise and recognition from management. Keep up the amazing work girl and everyone ask for her on your next visit. You won't be disappointed read more

Ordered chicken and cheese enchiladas through door dash, lost my order took about an hour to find. When they found the order they said it will be around 5 minutes, when I got hiome the rice was uder cook the enchilladas looked and tasted horrible. The mash potatoes were dry an plain. The Dish was around 20 dollars and everything tasted like it came out of a can. No dinner for me last night because of this. read more

Honestly not my favorite spot in the area. Food is always a step above frozen to me. Not really worth it

It's been years since I'd gone to Maggie McFlys in Middlebury but after hearing good things from family, I had to give it another try. It was a Sunday evening and the place was packed. We were able to hang out in thr bar until our table was ready. The host & wait staff were very courteous and accommodating. The food may have taken a bit long to come out because of the crowd but it was fresh and didn't disappoint. We ordered lots! From apps to desserts, all was well or quickly fixed if, at first, wasn't. A salad was ordered undressed, came dressed but was swiftly replaced. I ordered outside my norm and had the Shrimp & Vegetable Riscotto. It looked great, was more lemony than I'd anticipated and very filling. The drink menu, is endless but I settled on the Strawberry Basil Mule... definitely getting that again! Therefore, definitely going back again! Tips: enjoy a drink in the bar of you have to wait & if having a cupcake for dessert, ask for it to be taken out of the chiller while you eat your meal. Otherwise it's far too cold & firm to enjoy. read more

2 of us arrived there about 5:45 pm 1/28/23, only to be told it was a 20-30 minute wait for the upstairs, it I were asked to do the stair I would but I'm semi disabled , they said they were seating all customers because the lower level had reserved tables for parties ... I feel discriminated against . read more

Always a good go-to. The menu is massive and the service is good. I love the lettuce wraps and mixed grill salad , The bar is on the smaller side but comfy. Drinks are good and it's a pretty good draft rotation. They have a tendency to glaze and toss a lot of the protein for the salad in sauces which I do not like, but they do without if asked no problem. It's quick and easy and fresh. I love the fact you can edit and change menu items to your liking and they have great healthy options as well as meals, apps, and bar bites. read more

I have been here 100 times. This is the go to place for a delicious meal, and being that the menu is so large there is something to eat for everyone! Our server tonight (Mikaela) was awesome. Attentive, friendly, didn't have to wait for any type of service. I have had her as a server before and she's great To start off we got the Tex Mex Eggrolls which is something I get a lot! They were so tasty as always. The sauce it's served with its very flavorful. My wife grabbed the Crispy Shrimp Salad. I took a bite and I'm glad I did. The shrimp was soft and flavorful, and was coated in some sort of glaze. Accompanied by a southwestern style salsa, avocado, ranch, cucumber, and fried onion straws, it was a delicious meal. I went with my favorite pasta dish: the Chicken and Roasted Garlic pasta. As always it was delicious. This is hands down one of my favorite eateries in he area, and I'll be back here again next week most likely. Thank you Maggie McFly's for awesome dinner on so many occasions! read more

Was there last night some what busy waited 25 min for a $12.50 martini that was room temperature in a snifter glass . Ordered the rib eye Oscar style and ended up with a NY strip that had a intense ammonia smell from the decomposing crab meat that was on top of a awful broken hollandaise sauce . To add my sautéed broccoli never came out . When I asked for a manger I got a eye roll from a overwhelmed server . Manager was very nice offered my a new steak ... but still got a NY strip instead of the ribeye and was terribly over cooked and got a side of steamed dead broccoli. This place was once good but they are gonna get someone very ill and needs to be inspected. It starts with ownership ! read more

I love restaurants that's advertise they support local farms, everything from meats to cheeses and even their deserts. Maggie mcflys has always had such an extensive menu . Something I've never been quit fond or understood. After page five, you're so confused and lucky you! if you're even completely satisfied with your meals. Last night my boyfriend and I went for dinner. he had to garbage burger, which looked delicious but ultimately was dry. My boyfriend isn't a food snob like I am ( I have spent 18 years in the food industries so I don't take reviews to light but I also understand this is cut neck business ) Maggie's was redecorated which is nice. They have a wonderful beers on tap list. All local taps. They also have happy hour 4-6. 2/3$ off drinks... if I come back it will be for beer apps and golf at their golf simulator area. (Which is really cool) read more

This was a new chain to me and I wish there was one closer to me. I went to a concert at the nearby Palace theater and found this restaurant from an online search. I had a hard time trying to decide what to order as the menu is large and varied. I enjoyed my seafood casserole see photo attached) the shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly as were the smaller pieces of lobster. The larger lobster pieces were a bit chewy.The sherry wine lobster cream sauce was great but I could have used a little more rice as I had left over sauce and nothing to sop it up with. The peach ice tea my sister had got three thumbs up. The pot roast was a miss being tough and the Asiago mashed potatoes were tasteless but the vegetable medley was delicious(grilled snow peas squash). The coconut shrimp were good but also came with the bland mashed potatoes and great medley. The last item was the chicken costoletta (Panko Parmesan crusted chicken with asparagus in a creamy lemon sauce. The dessert menu wasn't as large as I expected but we skipped it as we were pressed for time. The location is right off the highway but not too close as you see it. Very large parking lot, outdoor seating and the service was good very friendly and seated quickly but it was a tuesday night. They also do takeout. read more

This is my girlfriend's favorite place. I love it too. Outstanding drink menu; craft beers, craft liquors too. Huge menu. Too many choices. Ive had a couple salmon dishes here, all wonderful. Some of the best burgers in the area, with great potato rolls and pretzel buns There menu also has lots of locally sources items in terms of meats and produce. The decor is outstanding. There are two floors. The second floor has booths overlooking the first floor; there is also an njce outdoor dining area. Very easy to relax. In addition they have some large booths thst accommodate 6, possible more people. A great place to go with work friend ir on a date. The music is just the right volume to hear but not drown out conversation. Outstanding service. Never disappointed. read more

After years of over salted and underperforming, I'm officially done with this place. The food is below average but convenient for a family looking for a quick meal. But the constant poor service and less than friendly attitude from the staff and the bar and tables have finally convinced me never to return. Took my two daughters to Maggie McFly's tonight and sat at our table for 13 minutes with no sign of a server in sight. Two waitresses passed our table multiple times. Not sure of either were our server but they didn't even look my way as I stared both of them down. With many other options near by, we got up and left. On the way out, I notified the hostess that we were never graced with the presence of a server so we were leaving. She said nothing, just looking at me like I asked for a bar of gold Management obviously doesn't train anyone here, my wife and I have been to this place a few times and have never had a smooth service from beginning to end. If you're just looking for some below average food and don't care about customer service, this is the place for you. read more

Quantity & quality for sure! The food is so good and you get an abundance of it! So many options to choose from on the menu so be sure to check it out online before you visit. Or you may spend most of your time reviewing the menu. Options for all different foodies both young and old. read more

Was here last night. We sat outside on the patio, it was very nice. However, the Food was just ok, but I ordered a burger w/ brie and fig jam. I specifically told the waitress I wanted more fig jam. The burger arrived with NO jam at all. Also, had to call out the cheese police - hardly any brie cheese at all. It was disappointing to say the least. We paid the bill and left a nice tip. However, my friend wanted a 2nd cup of coffee. Our waitress couldn't be bothered because she got paid. I had to ask another waiter for the coffee which he gladly provided. Sad service on the part of the waitress. Next time I will leave the tip in cash on the table instead of the credit card. Sorry Maggie, but you missed the mark. read more

I can't believe how downhill this place has gone. For 10 employees to be walking around while dirty plates are left on tables, and food and old receipts remain all over the floor for over an hour is inexcusable. From the dirty glasses given with lipstick smeared on the rim, the remnants of nachos found on our table as we are eating (olives and chicken pieces), fruit flies flying all around us trying to get into my friend's overpriced "house Cabernet" at $11.25 (and it wasn't even Josh), let's just say I am embarrassed for even suggesting we meet our friend here. We had a wonderful evening at Buffalo Wild Wings and had finished eating by the time she could meet us. We should have just stayed at BWW and avoided the disgusting atmosphere and fly infested tables at Maggot Mcflies. At least we had extra wetnaps from BWW to clean off our sticky, food encrusted table. NEVER GOING HERE AGAIN!! read more

I stopped here on a drive after a long day and since I was traveling for business and by myself, I sat at the bar. The place was full but not crowded on a Tuesday at 7:30; the noise and ambiance were loud enough that you felt surrounded by a healthy buzz but not so loud or busy that it was annoying. The bartender was an obvious professional -- she was friendly to everyone a busy bar (including several people from tables at the bar area who kept approaching her) and was quick and accurate with her orders and handling people's checks without ever seeming stressed or standing around. I can't speak to any of the other staff but if they're as top notch as her I would definitely go there often if I were a local. I ordered the house made veggie burger and fries, both of which were above average. The veggie burger was a bit too large for the bun, which caused it to eventually fall apart about 2/3rds of the way through. I have tried MANY house-made veggie burgers, and this seems to be a trend: if you're doing a house-made veg burger, it's actually a more enjoyable experience (at least for me) if it's the size of the bun so it can all be eaten together vs. having it turn into a fork and knife situation near the end of the meal. Whatever chipotle mayo they gave me to dip my fries in was excellent (you need to ask for it, but the bartender happily obliged). Another highlight was dessert: I always ask to view the dessert menu even if I don't plan to order anything, and here's a perfect example of why: The server pointed me towards their cupcakes, and then walked me over to the cupcake counter, which artfully displayed about 10 different styles of huge, locally made cupcakes with unique flavors such as French Toast (and included a gluten free chocolate cupcake option which earned a solid review from the person I bought it for). Regarding the rest of the menu, it was quite large (many pages to flip through) which is sometimes the sign of a restaurant that doesn't know what it wants to be. This time though, the size seemed to be more about their huge amount of drink options and gluten free options, and as I perused the menu, I noticed many of their items were sourced locally. This was a pleasant surprise to me given that this place has the decor and style of a fairly traditional American grill and bar. To be clear this is a compliment: this is a place that is light on pretension and hits the marks where they matter: a great drink selection complimented by excellent service and fresh, unique food. read more

What a frustrating experience. My sister and I order the burrata and tomatoes and the calamari appetizers. The burrata was excellent but the calamari was so over cooked u could smell the burning and it tasted just as burnt. We returned that order and received a new much better batch. The manager came over and apologized and said we would not be charged for the calamari. But of course it was on the bill, we where so frustrated I just paid the bill to get out of there. Also there menu is just too big, I like lots of options but this is just overwhelming. read more
