I live close by and have wanted to try this. The outside isn't terribly inviting, it sits on a corner and is often barred up. But go inside and the service is super friendly, and the decor is dated and cute - like an older diner. It's a bit cramped, but overall very clean. I ordered the turkey burger and the turkey was perfectly cooked and the burger well made. I will definitely be back when the hours work for me. I'd love to try their breakfasts. read more

Awesome breakfast! Friendly staff excellent service, nice and clean. Definitely recommend.

Maggie's Restaurant - Hella smack gotta try their steaks out ‼ - Burgers Near Me - Vallejo, California

Good food. Pretty basic breakfast and lunch menu. Coffee shop atmosphere. The portions are substantial and the food is fresh. The wait usually isn't bad, except around lunchtime some days when the grill is too small for crowds. read more

Dennis and his Crew are awesome! It's old school and it got a long history behind it, ask him whine he's cooking your food fresh right in front of you. Your coffee cup won't go dry these girls are on da spot to refill! Props ... glad to have ya back Tell 'em Libby set you! read more

Very cute diner with great food! The staff/owners were incredibly friendly - they joked around with us and made us feel welcomed.

Have ditched this place for years. Live right down the street. I'm not a cash person, according to yelp, they only accept cash. That's not true ya'll! I withdrew some cash, decided to give it a try just to discover that they do accept cards/Apple Pay, I regret not trying this place sooner, the service, food and environment was awesome. I ordered the California Burritos, I'm upset for not stopping by sooner. Definitely recommend. read more

Garbage. Cute little place but my chicken fried steak tasted like low quality ground beef they stuck together & flattened then fried. My first bite was gristle. Unfortunately what cost them probably $1 in crappy meat cost me $14 for an unpleasant meal. Waitress never checked on us to see how the food was for me to complain to her. My husband's waffle was really good, his chicken was a little too bready for me but at least HE enjoyed his meal. Even my sourdough bread was over toasted and barely buttered. Then exactly an hour later, during our home depot errand, I had to run to the public bathroom and expel that crap (pun just realized) Bummer because I'd like to find another nice lil neighborhood spot but this sure ain't it!! read more

Cool original 1940s diner. The kinda place youd see on old route 66. Me and my family had dinner. I had a chili cheese burger. My wife has the steak, my mother inlaw had the salmon, my son had the chicken n waffles. The food was very tasty with big portions. A nice quiet place to grab a quality meal. I'm definitely gonna try the breakfast next time. read more

Solid customer service. The meal was real nice. The classic look was cool as well. Nicely done!

Tried the independent cafe for a late breakfast. Everything was good, country potatoes were visibly house-made and very good. We will be back. read more

Great breakfast at a reasonable price. I'm really glad we finally came here and we'll be back!

My cousin was visiting from the Netherlands and wanted to go to a real American 1950s diner. I searched on Yelp and Maggie's restaurant filled the bill. Not only does the diner appear to have the original fixtures of a 1950s diner, there is Elvis, Marilyn and other 50s decor that brings you back to that time. The food is also quite good. I had pancakes, bacon and eggs and I liked that the pancakes were thin and kind of dense instead of being too fluffy. My wife had the crispy pancakes which seemed to be the same thing only burnt around the edges. I wouldn't recommend them. My cousin had the moco loco and seemed to enjoy it. I don't think they get anything like that in the Netherlands. read more

This place has been around for decades and was taken over about a year or so ago by the son-in-law of the prior owners, who is also the cook. A simple diner type place with no frills, the food is decent and service can be a bit harried but is always cordial. Prices are good too, especially when compared with the crazy increases many places have. One thing they can improve is the jam for the bread, it comes in a tiny cup which doesn't last long enough to smear on all the bread. It seems to have a lot of repeat biznez from locals which is a positive. read more

I ate here 5-7 years ago for my birthday ! And guess what today's my birthday and I was thinking about this place ! I loveeeeee the cafe and I was very happy with the service and food . My sister and I will be visiting soon ! I don't remember what I ate , I'm sure it was some omelette ! It just feels like home here ! The photos , " what you see , is what you get " and I love that ! I love that the photos aren't photo shopped and you get there looking for a meal that's a 10 and get a -2 !!!! This is literally 8/10 ! read more

I really liked this place. We went for breakfast and enjoyed a solid meal. We were the only ones there during our visit (late breakfast after eating time in a neighboring country with excessive Covid rules and silly business owners who refused service if you concur l couldn't produce vax status), which means the service was superb. I had the pancake breakfast, which was a good as any. The kitchen is right there, so no worries about prep. It's got the 50's diner vibe, so a nice atmosphere. Overall, a solid option for breakfast. read more

Every time I go in there it's a great energy and people that works there. Feels like home

Oh WOWZA! Where to begin...the small town diner where the atmosphere feels like everyone knows your name (not the Cheers ;)reference...haha), the kind customer service, the delicious 3 egg breakfast, 1 amazing waffle and accommodating cook for my special requests...maybe the fresh avocado I spread on my sourdough toast or the offer to make me an iced coffee...I'm thinking it was also the music and the regulars sitting on a stool reading a paper and requesting "their regular breakfast"...It is all that and more on a Sunday Funday intimate brunch with the hunny. Depending on where you are traveling...right off the freeway or right off the back road smack dang on the corner...ya can't miss it and I recommend you make it there. read more

Service wise can be vastly improved especially if they say this place was a Vallejo institution. Maybe for the older generation, didn't offer water we had sat for over 10 mins . Brought my pancakes , set the plate before me and walked away . Okay no fork or knife, so people let me know how can one eat pancake without a set of utensils, was I suppose to eat them with my feet or hands . Waited a minute maybe the lady went to get them . Nope husband had to flag the waitress down . My husband used to come to this place when he was a kid with his family . Out of respect for him instead of zero star I gave them a generous 2 stars . I would like to endorse small local places to boost businesses. However for this one it's a hard pass for me , not recommending this for people who are looking for good food , ambiance and service . Drive further and seek other venues for food . read more

Very good food. I called in my order and everything was ready when I picked it up. I got lucky and found parking right out front.

Lived in/near Vallejo and never tried this spot till now. The portions are good food is really good as well. Has an old warm staple feeling to this restaurant. Crispy pancakes are great. We will definitely be back read more

I have lived in Vallejo 23 years and finally ate here on a Sunday afternoon. Had the menage a trois appetizer and a cheeseburger with cheddar and bacon. The burger was juicy and good. Now for the negatives . The place is small with limited parking and only 4 tables, but also has a big counter where you can sit. The place also only takes cash and there is not an ATM nearby . The net result you need to plan to go there. I probably won't go back there anytime soon but I will go back. read more

Great food and awesome service. Burger was on point and the fries was fire. Strongly recommend

Food is really good, but that means nothing if I can't order anything. Walked in today to place an order, and they were busy which is fine, normal, and expected for a Sunday. However what made me walk out was, that after approx 4 minutes of standing at the cash register waiting to place an order, the ladies were answering phones and taking orders, taking payments from dine in guest, as I went unnoticed. No one said hello, No one said we'll be right with you, no nothing. Almost like I didn't exist to them. And what made me write this review and not wait any longer was the lady took the phone call before taking my order. Note to staff: in the future I recommend you answer the phone, tell that customer to hold while you take care of the one in front of you. Especially if they were there before the phone rang. In the end, I went across the street to el tesaro mazatlan for a breakfast burrito where their service is efficient and I always get noticed when I walk in. 2 stars for excellent food, extremely poor and slow service read more

Complete trash do not waste your time going here nothing taste good they can't even cook eggs ,also their phone is always off so you can't make call in orders your better off going to black bear ,joy of eating or even Scotty's read more

Definitely the best breakfast I've had in a while. This place serves PROPER American breakfast and some delicious creations of their own in a cozy place that looks like a service station! Staff is also nice and not overly customer servicey read more

I have been going to the lil old breakfast/lunch spot called "Maggie's" for about 7 years now. The meals always felt like home cooking and most importantly, CONSISTANT, no matter the cook. Ken (Previous owner) just recently retired after a million years. Lol. One would wonder, "What is it going to be like now? Would there be a drastic change in consistency, service, or that homely feeling? Would the memories go away?" NOPE! If fact, the new owner, Marlene, who's been working 9+ years ?, has made some additions to the menu, pay options !!!, and slowly but surely, the overall look. Keeping it authentic to it's history visually, but MAINTAINING that cooking consistency!! WAY TO GO GIRL!!!! read more

Maggie's Restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Vallejo, California

The breakfast sandwiches are great. Consistent, and made however you want, even when there was a different chef on the grill.

Really wanted to give this local place a chance but they are disorganized to the point of being unprofessional and also rude. Ate there once pre-Covid and loved the burgers and fries (a little heavy on the fresh onion, but no big deal since I just took them off). But service had been extremely slow back then even with few people in the diner and the place needed a sweep and wipe down. Again, something we forgave because we wanted to support a local business. Tried to place a take out order during Covid, and the first few times I called, no answer, then got through and was asked if I could wait, so I said yes, then they put the phone down for five minutes and completely forgot about me (I could hear them chatting in the background). I hung up and called back 5-10 minutes later. The woman who answered the phone sounded exasperated as if I was being rude for placing an order (she answered the phone with "yes?!"), and didn't seem to be paying close attention or writing down my order but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Ordered a burger and fries and a chili dog and fries. She took down my name and phone number and told me it'd be 45 minutes. Showed up at the appropriate time and went in to pick up my order. Was told "oh we tried to call you but YOU didn't answer. We're out of chili." Order wasn't ready at all anyway. She was completely unapologetic for not communicating that they had no chili in the first place on the phone when we placed the order, and no apology for writing down the wrong number (or did they lie and not even try to call?). I walked out upset and without food. Promptly gave my business to another restaurant that day. They need a serious service/organization overhaul if they ever want my business again. read more

New hours- 7:00 am to 9:00 pm Tuesdays through Sundays. Eat at the counter. People are friendly and the food is good. If you ask, they make breakfast fried rice! read more

Food was good and service was great. Nothing fancy but good "downtime" food. Weekdays are best

Belgium waffles was crisp,yummy. The gravy is delicious chicken fried steak seasoned. Simply good BLT

You it seems like its family oriented environment and good food from a lovely homemade kitchen.

Try their pancake and waffle special. Great food. Wonderful service, nice staff. Burgers and fries are great.

Tried this restaurant for the first time this morning, ordered their BLT on sourdough bread and it was delicious, bacon was cooked perfectly slightly crispy not too much lettuce like all restaurants try to do to make sandwich look like your getting a humongous sandwich for your money and perfect amount of tomato with mayonnaise, I will definitely order this sandwich again in near future. I guess the only thing that upset me was the 3% fee added to my bill for using my credit card and there is no signage saying that every customer will be charged 3% fee to bill but nothing about if you use your card, kind of confusing. Restaurant was very clean and was greeted when I walked in door, I love the hometown feel from the establishment and will definitely take my family there for some meals. read more

So I'm expecting to close a real estate deal today and I'm kinda stressed. I've lived in Vallejo for 17 years, but today was the very first time I've been to Maggie's. She was super nice, but she was also working the grill. Oh, and she was interacting with the other diners. Man, she's awesome! I had a breakfast burrito that was fantastic!! When I left, she said "hope to see you soon"...... That was a first. Never had someone say that when I was leaving. Yes, I'll be back!! Thanks Maggie!! read more

Maggie's is a small local diner where you feel welcomed and enjoy an amazing selection of breakfast and lunch options. My favorite breakfast is the pancake special (crispy style)! For $8.99 you get 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of protein, you can't beat the price. Their chicken wings are also fabulous, they are so flavorful and can be purchased alone, with waffles or the breakfast combo. Maggie's is definitely a gem. read more

It had been a while, but the turn was worth it enjoyed one of the Maggie specials (The Klout ), VERY MUCH!!! Too bad I left it in the to go box on the dang table when I left read more
