Maggie's Place

I asked if the kitchen was open and the bar tender said "it can be". We sat ourselves and were ignored, so we left. We ended up going to Sheetz gas station for a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was.

My family and I visited here on a Sunday afternoon after seeing that the reviews were good. Probably should've looked further at the *years ago* reviews and not anything recent. To start, we parked in the back and there was no clear marked entrance. Ok easy enough walk to the front and pick a door. So we go in and it's empty, we exit and go in another door and there's people, but no one greeted us as we walked in, so we kept searching for a hostess stand or something that said seat yourself, but nothing. Finally a woman calls from across a bar "are you looking for a table?"... yes as I carry my baby and my toddler waddles behind. She points to the area we initially walked in and said "over there".Next, the table we sat down at was about to fall apart. Not a little wobble I mean the top of the table was about to disconnect from the leg thing. It was very quiet as we were the only people in there, and then mid meal they crank up some strange classic rock song. As a note, not a good place for kids as it is half a bar and just not very clean. As we sit, a waitress takes our order for water and was prompt with it, but we didn't see her again or anyone else for a good 15 minutes. We're patient and basically have entertainment because you can see most of the kitchen from our table. This includes the vast amount of low quality food ingredients not expected at a highly rated restaurant. It was all from Walmart (Great Value brand). I could buy this and make it at home. It also doesn't look like they are following any sort of health code. We watched the cook feverishly cook his brunch guests (I think there was maybe one other family but this dude was going ham). Very sweaty. Although he did have rubber gloves on, he proceeded to grab a sweat towel and wipe the sweat from his face and neck. We saw a waitress go back there and exclaim out loud how dirty it was and bacon bits were all over the floor. When our waitress finally returned we got a pitcher of water (our cups were all empty at this point) and ordered our food. It was nice to see the cook didn't skip a beat with his sweat wiping as we watched him prepare our gourmet meal. The breakfast burgers we got were actually tasty, but like I said low quality ingredients. The hash-browns were the great value precut frozen thrown in some vegetable oil, no seasoning or anything. Another person in my party got the breakfast quesadillas and said they were "okay". It didn't come with any sour cream, salsa or other toppings you might expect to go with it, just the same side of hash-browns.We were told there was only one waitress working, which means very slow service overall. She also dropped a random f-bomb in front of our kids. She was friendly, so I guess that's a positive. Overall, possibly the worst dining experience in the Dayton area and we will not be coming back.

I've wanted to stop here for a while because the guys at work talk about how great it is and the Yelp reviews support that. We had a couple IPA beers, the jalapeño poppers and each of us had the Maggie Burger Deluxe. First, the burger- it's EASILY in the top ten burgers in the Dayton area - easily. As you eat it it juices all over your hands with the things that make a great burger great! The bun is upscale and soft and complements this sandwich like Bonnie and Clyde. I asked for it medium and it came medium. This place knows how to make great burgers!Now, if your expecting soft music and expensive wine your in the wrong place. This is your classic dive bar that serves a killer burger. Oh, the poppers were just ok.

I ate at Maggies and I liked it. The burger was juicy, and potato babies aka fried potato wedges were good. The place is an old school house, so it's kind of cool. I would consider it a dive bar. That isn't a term I use in a bad way. Some of the nicest people, and best food can be found in a dive bar.

WOW! This place was amazing. Walked in before our nieces volleyball game and was immediately greeted by kind people EVERYWHERE! The food was delicious but the people there were the best! Best "dive bar" experience yet! Congrats to the new owners

So went to Maggie's tonight for dinner. Haven't eaten here since the mid 90's. This is best described as a neighborhood dive bar with great food. We had heard alot about their burgers lately so wife got the Maggie Burger with cheadder cheese with cole slaw as her side. I got the Bacon cheeseburger with chips as my side. We also had an order of fried mushrooms as an appetizer. Mushrooms were your standard deep fried mushrooms, good but nothing you wouldn't get anywhere else. My wife loved her burger and cole slaw, she has a thing for cole slaw and really liked Maggie's slaw. I also loved my burger, hand made patty with a butted and toasted bun, 4 strips of bacon so they didn't skimp there either, all very good! Service was wonderful and the locals in the bar were friendly and sociable. Excellent experience and will be returning again!

The food is very good at Maggie's. The service is great. The people are very nice there. I've been going there for years. More when my husband was alive. But I still stop in there to eat about once a month sometimes more. Highly recommend.

I was looking for a different place to have lunch and saw Maggie's Place. It looked really cool on the outside and it was even cooler on the inside. Great vibes, Great people who own and work there; Food was great and fresh. I want to go back when I can have a few drinks at the bar.Thanks for an awesome cheeseburger!!David C.Wayward Winds

Great local place! Causal vibe. Great burger and COLD BEER. This was our first time but will definitely return!

It's alright just a neighborhood bar that has a pool table and a dart table in it. The service is okay it was one girl working the bar so if don't have patience don't come. Also it might not be your typical crowd so it just want to drink that's all you might look forward too. I went on the weekend so they have a basic menu just some to eat on like potato wedges or mozzarella sticks.
