my girl friends and I went to maggies on a Saturday, our experience was one of the worst bar…read moreexperiences we've ever had, the bartender treated us like we were a burden for wanting drinks at 830 on a saturday. there was a gentleman there who approached us and asked us to please give maggies another chance and to come see him on st pattys day, we went and the bar was packed, however the bartender absolutely exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, our friend was embarrassed to do keroke alone so the bartender offered to do it with her, you don't find bartenders that go above any beyond like that often. now well be calling ahead and will only be going if Robert's there. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Also his special cocktail was absolutely delicious!

I can understand an online menu being outdated. What I cannot understand is how a restaurant can…read morehave two different paper menus, in the restaurant, with different prices for the exact same items. We were originally given the higher-priced menu. Only after I questioned the price difference did the bartender bring us another paper menu with lower prices. At that point, we literally had two different menus with two different prices sitting in front of us. That made the whole experience feel extremely untrustworthy. I hate to even wonder whether we were given a different menu because we're Asian, but honestly, the situation was uncomfortable enough that the thought crossed my mind. Customers should never be put in a position where they have to wonder something like that. We kept our order simple, didn't order any drinks, and left. Maybe there is an innocent explanation, but having two different in-house menus with different prices is simply unacceptable to me. Check the prices carefully before you order.

Went here to eat for a Mothers Day brunch. The atmosphere and look of this place is top notch…read more You get great views from the restaurant of the golf course and there is really great landscaping all around. Needless to say we ended up with some great photos at the end of the day. You're not going here though for the view. Sorry I had to. Anyways we only ate off the buffet menu that they had prepared. The selection was suprisingly minimal compared to others that I have been at but the price was less than those bigger ones. The quality of the food was 50/50 and the presentation of it was just the same. They had a really great potato dish with red peppers and onions. Wanted to put some ketchep on the side of that and for some reason that was only at another table in a completely different room. The salmon and the chicken were very well prepared but the eggs were not that great. Like I said you had a 50/50 chance of getting something that you were going to like. The dessert was about the same and there was enough choices that you were going to get something that you liked. The service was really what took this place down a notch. Which is strange because it's a buffet so it should be really hard to have bad service. The drinks that we ordered were a pain to get refilled and the plates were not getting taken from the table almost at all. We would have a bunch of empty glasses of water at the table and one of us would ask the server to fill it. She would come and fill that persons glass and walk away. So we realized that we had to tell the server to fill all the empty glasses. Problem was we had to keep doing this they wouldn't just do it. We had to ask each time. It's water it's free and I get that but to have to keep asking for a refill so weird. I wouldn't mind going to play a round at this place sometime and then try the regular sit down menu. Just don't know if this place was really that much of a stand out that I would go back. Would probably say worth a stop if your playing a round and in this area specifically.

A mixed drink with a great pour size, and a bottle of soda was $12 - which is cheaper than most venues considering it was a full bottle and we go to keep the cap and the mixed drink was large. We saw "The Carpenters", which I saw a while back at the Algonquin theater. I wanted to see the show again because it was so good, but this show was like listening to the B-side of a 45. I can't even tell you how disappointed I was that they didn't play many hits. She sang covers from other artists and not so popular hits. I personally found it strange the way the show began with the guy running the strand, coming on stage with a piece of paper talking, and then having us stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I have no problems saying the Pledge of Allegiance, but I just found the whole thing odd. I've never gone to any other musical event or show where they had everyone stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance prior to the event. I also had a rude person seating us. I thought I had bought center orchestra, but it turned out that I bought center tier and when I told him I just wanted to look at my phone to verify what I had purchased because I thought my tickets were wrong. He got nasty with me and told me that's what your ticket said that's what you bought and I told him to just give me a minute so I could just look it up on my phone to verify and it wasn't like he had anything else to do or he was seating anyone else I didn't ask him to wait with me. I understood that my tickets were for the tier, but before I climb the stairs to the top, I wanted to make sure that I got the correct tickets from Will call, but instead of just letting me be, he felt the need to argue with me when there was no argument to be had, and him finally walking away, saying whatever. Other than him all the other people working there were great. This was just one experience but normally I never have any problems there.

We started with and order of Mussels Fra Diavolo (spicy) to share and they were terrific - meaty, tasty with plenty to share. Drinks consisted of Red Sangria, Drop Top IPA, Canyon Road Merlot, J Lohr Cab and Kane Port Omna. They have a good beer selection and wines are okay. Their Special menu for St Patrick's Day is quite nice. My wife went for Fish and Chips, and we also ordered two Corned Beef Reubens and a 14oz Ribeye. All were really good along with some hot, crispy fries. We chose to share a dessert (because we could) and the Grannies Hot Apple Cobbler was perfect. Our server, Jason, couldn't have been nicer. He was attentive and quick to handle any requests that we had. The place is tastefully decorated with nice lighting and appropriate posters.

We walked in the front door and immediately you see a liquor store and in the back is a huge restaurant.

This watering hole is a real plus to the locals. Elise was our server. Very friendly. Excellent food, large menu for every type of diner. I believe they even serve late breakfast because they open up at 10 AM. Check it out. Not the easiest place to find when you're on the highway 37 E.

For our entrees, we had chicken Caesar salad, chopped salad, spicy sausage, pizza, and coconut salad--and everything was excellent! Dessert was just as delicious. We had the brownie sundae and a cookie molding, and both were a perfect way to end the meal. The service was also excellent. Our waiter, Torin, was so sweet, attentive, and accommodating, especially with our toddler. Another big plus is the excellent parking, which makes the whole experience even easier. Overall, Moore Tavern is a great little spot with good food, a cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and plenty of parking. We had a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back!
