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.

Love Maggie's! Food is always good and drink selection is great! Third year coming here for our holiday team happy hour because the atmosphere is great for a small team. We got the seasonal special poutine fries and Ruben balls that were amazing and seasonal cocktails. The fried pickles are a must! Great food and service always.

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 .

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.

Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure

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.

Bruschetta

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!

Indoor-outdoor dining
Karen T.

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!

It seems like a pretty typical pub - low…read morelighting, TVs on every wall a but the food was far superior to others I've been to in Philly. We got a couple of seafood dishes and the butter sauce was INCREDIBLE. We kept it just to dip the rest of our food in. I got a French Dip and fries and my husband got a seafood special. We got the lava cake for dessert and were pleasantly stuffed by the end of it. Our waitress was particularly great (I wish I could remember her name!). She was very friendly, helpful with recommendations, and efficient. Our food and drinks came out fast and she was constantly checking in. We were also pleasantly surprised at how low the bill was for how much food we had! If you're in the Northeast I would highly recommend stopping by!

She crab soup is worth the visit alone. It is creamy, seasoned perfectly and thick. A bowl could be a meal. The fried shrimp were huge, breaded well and fried to perfection. The seafood combo had clam casino, stuffed shrimp, scallops and deviled crab. Everything was fresh and tasty. My only negative was that I thought the clams casino was a little too salty. They are known for that so others must find it seasoned right. Good service is always the norm. We are never disappointed in our meals here.

Anyway if you've ever been here you know there is nothing around the mall but fast food. That's really not what I wanted. I was having so much trouble deciding we just ended up in the food court. You could smell the cheese steaks down the hall and it smelled really good. Good enough to coax me into a closer look. Upon a closer look the two guys running the shop were so friendly I was like yeah I'll do it. Only two guys doing door dash deliveries and live people in the food court. So one guy is taking orders then running back to cook. Then he was apologetic about the wait. I'm like take your time man! They were rocking it out. So then we get our food and it's really excellent. None of it is greasy. I got gourmet fries and a philly chicken cheesesteak. Fries weren't deep fried and greasy. Only complaint- worst ketchup receptacle at any restaurant ever. There is no way to hold it and keep the ketchup inside. Next time I come to a movie here I'll do it again.
