    Maggie's. You took one of the best things off of your menu. The chicken itialiano. The sandwich loved so much I even made a Tic Tok about. I'm brokenhearted. Been coming to Maggie's for years and really cannot complain about any of their food items. From sandwiches to pizzas to apps done right. We have always left satisfied. The main negatives I have are the incessant nickel and dining - today's surprise an extra .75 for a tiny cup of dressing. Ask for a little more blue cheese for the wings - $$ - The servers ALWAYS ask if you want cheese for your fries but don't tell you it's a $1 extra. These things aren't a big expense but the added charges seem sneaky. The turnover rate at Maggie's is like none I've seen. Every time we go there is another fresh set of faces. That speaks to the work environment and management.. What I can say, is that Maggie's is consistent. They have a decent long running happy hour. Quizzes/trivia nights. A huge bar and indoor/outdoor seating. We will still be back just because we've been regulars for so long but as with any long standing relationship, the little things are starting to be a bit more of an annoyance than they used to be.

    Found a new spot for when I'm in the other side of the river. Great waterfront restaurant offering a great selection of beers, good pub grub, great views, plenty of TVs to watch sports. Good selection of cocktails. Indoor and outdoor seating. Wonderful service! The creamy crab soup was delicious. The Cajun shrimp appetizer was awesome. Good thing they give you bread to sop up all the delicious sauce. The French dip was very good! Crinkle cut fries - love them. Awesome looking daily specials and happy hours .

    Different Cheesesteak #1200. I got a cheesesteak with fried onions and cheese sauce. It comes with french fries. I got the Maggie seasoning on my fries (touch of sugar) and dipping sauce. I was extremely happy to find out that all of that was included. $17. The cheesesteak was goodish. It came on a good seeded roll. The meat was thinly sliced and finely chopped. I think a thicker slice would produce more steak flavor. Onions added a little flavor. The cheese sauce favored the bottom of the cheesesteak. Top bite was drier than the bottom bite. The sweet potato fries with Maggie seasoning were heavenly. Add the dipping sauce and the fries became whatever is better than heavenly. The bartender was very good. Big loud crowd.

    What an amazing time we had celebrating our daughter's birthday Our server, Jill, was wonderful, attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and filling. Great family atmosphere, definitely enjoyed the music that was being played. Also enjoyed the different televisions tuned into different sporting events. It had been a long time since I last visited and I'm glad we were able to get back there again. Will be back hopefully soon.

    Room

    I hosted my daughters wedding shower at Maggie's in the upstairs river view room and it was perfect! The staff, Paul, BethAnn and team were beyond accommodating and helpful. The brunch buffet was an absolute hit! The waffles, frittata and Chicken Francaise were delicious. The space itself is beautiful and offers the best of NE Philly. I am looking for an excuse to host another party here it was so fun! Thank you to all!

    Fish Tacos

    We came here for a team lunch and were seated outside fairly quickly so we were able to see the waterfront. We didn't have reservations so we got lucky to even get seated - pretty packed for a Wednesday at 1pm. The food is typical bar food. I ordered the fish tacos (corn tortillas) and it was so bland. It was soggy from the pico de gallo and chipotle sauce. The chipotle sauce was not good. I wished I would have ordered what I originally wanted which was the Margherita pizza (ugh). We also ordered appetizers (the sampler) and they also were not good. The only thing I really enjoyed were the french fries. Our waiter was nice but it was busy so he seemed to have a lot of tables.

    Big menu, nice indoor/outdoor seating, and beer list doesn't change much but has some different options as well as the usual suspects. My steak sandwich was just OK, but the roast pork sandwich I had was really good. Their special fries were OK but I preferred the regular ones. Service is pretty solid, although they can get busy sometimes. Location is nice in that not too far off of 95, but also looks right across the street to the Delaware River and NJ, with a couple parks right within walking distance. Plenty of parking whenever we've gone. Have come back a few times and will again in the future.

    Had the pleasure of having Kayla T, as a server this memorial day, she was fantastic. Food was top tier, great waterfront ambiance!

    yesterday we had an engagement dinner and maggie's by far went above and beyond paul the bartender and two waitresses were amazing and helped with everything from start to finish . they definitely out did themselves. Food was amazing. all my guests bragged about the food that people went up for a seconds. thank you to all the staff from the Burns family .

    Ample parking lot Was seated relatively quickly. Our server was sweet and attentive to our table. We order so much food we didn't have enough table space. The food was great, crab quesadilla, bacon wrapped shrimp and Maggie fries were perfect. Downstairs is the full bar and upstairs is a seating area either overlooking the bar or in the back. TV's are throughout the establishment.

    A NE Philly institution. Great place for pub grub and drinks. Outstanding menu, and their steaks and sandwiches are great. The roast pork is highly recommended. They use great bread, which is the key to a great steak or sandwich. Tons of food options and cocktails. Lots of seating options. Indoor, there are two levels, with upstairs for parties. There are plenty of tables outside with great views of the Delaware when the weather is nice. Service is always super friendly. Whenever I'm back in the old neighborhood, it's great to visit Maggie's.
