Maggies Restaurant

Maggie's is a long time, traditional family restaurant by the lake in Wayzata. The menu is large with categories suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a fair price. Service is friendly and quick, drinks are kept topped and hot! Comfy booth and tabletop seating is available. Portions are generous, you won't leave here hungry!We have tried lots of local restaurants for breakfast with friends, Maggie's is definitely at the top of the list, give them a try!

Although Maggies is a 20-minute drive for me, it has remained a go-to place for breakfast since it opened in 1979.Maggies is to restaurants, as "Cheers" is to bars. I am sure that will over 90% of people in the restaurant, at any given time, are regulars. Often, you see groups of men at a table, who one can imagine have been going there weekly since Ronald Regan was president. If you like old-fashioned family diners, you will like Maggies.It's also the kind of nondescript place that is easily overlooked. It's in the middle of a strip mall on East Lake Street in Wayzata. It hasn't ever been updated as far as I can tell and their staff turnover is very low.Maggies is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but I've only been there for breakfast. They have all the usual stuff, but everything is well prepared, even though their kitchen is the size of a kitchen in a New York City studio apartment and the grill top is proportionately tiny. Everything is made to order because I don't think there would be any other way to do it.I alternate between the traditional fried eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and toast breakfast and the French Toast. Although all of the egg dishes are well prepared, the French Toast is special because it's made with Challah bread (or so it seems). The three or five (your choice) soft chewy bread is fried to a perfect golden brown. It has a soft, eggy interior and a crispy exterior that begs for maple syrup and/or butter. You can get it with or without a choice of meat (3 slices for $11 and $3 more for a side of bacon, sausage or ham). Go during the week, and it's only $8 for three slices AND a side of meat. My wife prefers the Cinnamon French Toast, but rarely finishes even the three slices. Overall, prices are reasonable, quantities are large, quality is excellent, and service is consistently good. If fact, currently there are two waitresses (at breakfast time), that seem to be in all places at all times, taking orders, refilling coffee, delivering food, and somehow smiling all the time. These days, that pretty remarkable.So although there are a million breakfast places closer for me than Wayzata, when you hit the superfecta of price, quality, quantity, and service, it's worth driving for.

To say I was disappointed is an understatement...maggies is located in a very posh small town on lake Minnetonka . Has a small local diner feel . A bit out of place in Wayzata but been a local legend for years all homemade mid western comfort food with a great breakfast menu . So I was in town and thought let's get some local flare . So off we went it was busy but not full . We sat down and were greeted promptly and we ordered I had the "biscuits and gravy with sausage smothered in sausage gravy " with hash browns so when the order came the biscuits were premade freezer biscuits "rock hard" the sausage patties were premade frozen and the "smothered in gravy " barely covered the biscuit . The hash browns were from a sysco bag but were ok the two eggs over easy were the only thing made there and not just reheated. I will not be going back

No gluten free pizza. So I ordered an omelet. But really wanted a pizza. Staff are kind.

A great place to eat with great people to know. everybody's a little crabby sometimes and you never know what they're going through but I can promise you... Everybody has a good heart and their own story. I've worked here for over four years now and I don't regret a minute of it. I continue to want to work here because of everyone I work with. truly the best people who do consistent work and make work feel like fun.

Back at Maggie's with a few friends and was impressed yet again! I ordered the Cake Combo and was very pleased. The pancakes were not lacking in the taste department, but rather boasting a sweet-and-fluffy flavor I won't soon forget. Bacon and sausage were both pretty darn good, and the eggs were done how I requested. All that for less than $8, so certainly a good deal for a classic breakfast!I did not get to try the other two dishes, but my friends said they enjoyed their food too!Atmosphere was quiet and clean. Kind, fast service accompanied by all of the above sealed the deal for yet another 5-star Maggie's review.

My favorite family restaurants in Minnesota. A goto for breakfast. Cramp at times and needs updating but that's what you want in a dinner isn't it?! They'll seat you quick and turn you quick. Special family memories for me going back to 1991.

A good, traditional family style restaurant.They have a full menu and serve breakfast all the time.The food was good/satisfactory. It's wasn't wowing or over the top good but your typical diner type. I was impressed with their wide variety of menu options (full range breakfast items, pizza from a pizza oven, etc.Prices were modest and in line with a smaller town, not like a fancy restaurant in Wayzata.The service was adequate/so-so. Part of that was we came during a busy time (Saturday morning). We were a group of ten, we called ahead for reservations and the table was waiting for us, so this was great and spot on.I'd have no issue coming back, knowing I'm going to have many food choices, satisfactory taste and service and the price to match.

One of my favorite breakfast place. I would much rather eat here versus Denny's or IHOP. I get to mingle with the local people.

You just gotta go and get their thin crust pizza - absolute best in town .Years ago we preferred Pizza Schaak onLake St in South MPLS and ever since the owners retired we have been searching for an equal or better pie.So order yourself to discover what we now know and love Maggie's of Wayzatayou will not be disappointed John T
