    We were looking for something to eat for breakfast/lunch and the corned beef in the window caught our eye. Amazing! My niece ordered the corned beef plate and the son and I shared the French dip. Both items were tasty!

    Maggie's kitchen in the original farmers market on Fairfax is a great valley having terrific Rubens pastrami sandwiches, corn beef on rye. Anything that you would find at a Jewish deli they even give you a pickle which is a delicious slight sour dill pickle with your sandwich, you can eat your food there at the tables or take it home Services quick and easy ambience is great.

    My friend and I are kind of obsessed with the Corned Beef sandwich here. They have many things at Magee's Kitchen but their Original World Famous corned beef sandwich is where it's at for me. Found within the Farmers Market at stall 624, this place is an institution in LA. They were first at Grand Central Market in Downtown LA opening in 1917 but have been stationed here in Fairfax since 1934. Their hot dogs are passable but I'd pass on ever having one again. The aforementioned Corned Beef Norm sandwich has 1000 Island sauce on it, Coleslaw and Swiss Cheese and it's just heaven. It's a must get! You can also get this with pastrami if that suits your fancy better, an equally good protein option. The fries are also kind of whatever. If you like horseradish, theirs is supposed to be special so give that a go. I'm a Magee's Kitchen fan and I'll surely be back.

    Windy City Chicago dog $13. Definitely too expensive and they don't give enough topping. It looks like more topping than it is. The bun was a little bit dry as well and it was just too much bread it wasn't a normal bun it was too thick. Good size dog though. Tested fine it just wasn't worth the price.

    We did a tour that ended at the Original Farmers Market. I've heard about Magee's kitchen's Rueben and today I was able to finally try it. Omg!! It was the best Rueben I've ever had. The sour kraut is tender and smooth tasting. Not sour. Complementing the meat and bread The corned beef is tender and flavorful without the typical fat. You can eat this sandwich without any effort to keep it together. You take a bite and everything comes n stays intact with a wow factor. It was such a treat Service was quick and you're able to watch them slice up the corned beef and assemble your sandwich. We ordered it for "here" and it was served on a handy tray This so you can walk the dinning area searching for an open table. We fortunately found a table within a minute. I ordered the root beer and it was amazing. Now I know the difference between mass production commercial grocery store root beer vs this specialty made I would have given 5 stars but the pricing is steep at $32 plus tip for one sandwich and a drink. Happy I had the farmers market experience. I recommend choosing this food stall especially if you're a Rueben connoisseur and only visiting as tourist and want to have something exceptional to experience at the Farmers market.

    Corned Beef Plate

    Food: 3.5/5 Service: doordashed Ambiance: can't comment I doordash'd my corned beef plate from Magee's in honor of St. Patty's day. Being over a 100 years old, Magee's is supposedly THE spot for corned beef in LA! Only, I wasn't enthused to make the trek to the Original Farmers Market in this hot weather--Doordash it was! My corned beef wasn't out-of-this-world-delicious, but was still tender, only a tad dry. The spices and juiciness from the meat didn't come through as I was hoping. It comes with two sides of your choosing so I got the cabbage and the carrot salad. The cabbage was a tad overcooked but still okay, but the carrot salad was quite delicious and I'd get it again. Carrot salad had celery, raisins, apples, and just the right amount of sweetness, and for a gal who hates raisins, I still liked the carrot salad as it complemented the corned beef even better than the cabbage. I think this place has a lot of potential, but I docked off a star because I wasn't given an option to choose sauerkraut as a side. I can't really eat corned beef without sauerkraut, so hope they can change that for the future. Otherwise, I'd give this place another shot when I want corned beef again for next year's St. Patty's day! ;)

    We were visiting LA and we decided to stop by the Original's Farmer's market. This was our first time. The moment we walked into this place, I could smell a delicious savory smell and I realized it was coming from Magee's Kitchen. I am a huge fan of French dip, so after walking around the market, I quickly circled back here. I will admit the food that you see in the hot window display does not look fancy, but you sense their recipes have been around for quite some time. The prices however seem a bit steep. Some items they carry: Plates, sandwiches, soups, salads, hot dogs, homemade sides. (Things like Corned beef, Brisket, Parsley Potatoes, baked beans, Creamed corn, chicken noodle, beef stew, Kraut Dog, Mac N cheese) They also have some Mexican food and a few desserts. I got the French dip, which is one sandwich (meat and bread only) with 2 pickles and Au jus. It was around $20. I have to admit even without any condiments, no cheese, nothing on the bread. THIS WAS DELICIOUS. The Au Jus for dipping is crucial to have with this sandwich or it would be dry. The meat was good quality meat, it was not tough, but tender. Great Flavor. 4/5 Pickles were good too. Would I come here again? Probably, but not often since the prices are a bit high. Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 (knocking star off due to price) Ambiance: 4/5

    I gave them 4 stars because they got my order wrong. Originally I placed an order for a Reuben Roast Beef but then I changed it to a Reuben with Corned Beef. I had a Reuben, French Dip Sandwich and a Corned Beef sandwich on my tray and didn't realize the error. I'm sure they would've adjusted the sandwich if I went back to let them know, but I was in a rush. The corned beef was awesome! I would give them another shot. The food was really good.

    I finally tried the corned beef at Maggie's. Ordered the Reuben, which is one of my all time favorite deli sandwiches. Perhaps the buildup was too high for me but I wasn't blown away by it. There was nothing really wrong with the sandwich. Corned beef was tender and flavorful. I guess I was just expecting more from a 100 plus year establishment. Side note that felt kind of odd. For whatever reason they sell Mexican food here, which slightly bothered me. It's sort of like going to Katz Deli or Langer's and seeing tacos on the menu. Not sure why they do this but I wouldn't order an enchilada at a deli.

    These two sandwiches were so delicious!! I had the corn beef sandwich and my mom had the roast beef with the sauce dip. The beef was so tender! The combination of the sauces mixed so well! We came here last Thursday and I am still thinking about that sandwich. The service was so friendly and attentive to our questions! They have pictures of menu items so it helped me out on trying to figure out what I wanted especially on a time crunch. Their spot is literally one of the first stalls I see when you enter inside the farmer's market. There was a line but everyone was able to get their order in smooth!y. I can see people sitting about at their tables smiling as they take a bite of their sandwiches and hotdogs and beef plates.

    Not worth it! 3 sandwiches costs $83!!! Plus you get rude service I asked few questions about the menu,the girl who took my order simply did not want to be there and answered my questions with extreme rudeness. Taste: corned beef - mediocre no side other than pickles. I thought the amount of meat you get for the price is simply not worth it. Pastrami-good, coleslaw add good flavor. Priced about $25, no sides. Nothing special and definitely it worth over $24 for Sandwiches! Be aware: the line can get crazy and the line moves slowly. We waited a total of 30 minutes including getting our food.

    The Carving Station
    Zan L.

    Open since 1917 I would say that Maggie's is the most famous deli at the Farmers Market. It's right in the center so it can get quite busy, but we were lucky enough to be first in line for our Saturday lunch. You order at the counter and then grab your food at the carving station. They don't offer inside seating so it will have to be at one of the many tables strewn about the Farmers Market. Everything that we ordered was made pretty quickly but pricing is a bit more expensive than some other places close by, but you really do get a great quality sandwich in return. Parking at the Farmers Market is probably the hardest part, not so much in that they have limited spaces but after 90 minutes parking can get pretty expensive per hour. Just be mindful of time and if you plan to be out in less than 90 minutes, parking is free. Being my first visit, I wanted to try their most famous sandwich which is the Corned Beef Reuben. I recently dined at Art's Deli up in the valley and got the same sandwich and preferred this Maggie's version a lot more. The meat is very juicy and the bread was perfectly toasty and overall the portion size was fair. Itt just had some great flavors. There are a few other places in town that I like even more, but it was a great version and I would happily order it again. I would definitely recommend to any sandwich or deli fan or to anyone who is visiting the Farmers Market and looking for a great food option.

    Swing by the Farmer's Market after an event at the Saban Theater. My son wanted to grab a bite to eat but wasn't sure what he wanted and once he saw the corned beef and cabbage dinner on the menu he knew he had to have it. The plate was around $21 but it was well worth it. There was plenty of tender sliced corned beef and potatoes and I swear a half a head of cabbage. He decided to save it until we got back home to San Diego but he said it was just as tasty as if he ate it in LA. It was a Saturday evening so the place was packed but the staff was great and we got our food really quickly. It was a bit loud but that is what makes it fun. I wish we had more places like this closer to home here. It's not always easy to fuel and make a 19 year growing drummer happy but this plate surely did!

Large enough that half was enough for dinner and the other half was another meal on the next day. I also ordered onion rings. Very good!

Order online and have some jump out of the car to pick up your order. There is no seating inside but maybe a chair or two outside. The neighborhood is a little rough around the edges so you may want to get that food to go. We tried three sandwiches and they were all huge. The crispy chicken caesar wrap is phenomenal and I am not one who usually orders this particular sandwich anywhere. It comes with a creamy sauce that I might have drank directly from the little cup. The wrap is packed full of chicken and it is refreshing and excellent. It doesn't look huge but trust me, the wrap is packed full and you will be plenty satisfied. The Antonia sandwich comes with turkey, cheese, avocado, tomato, and garlic aioli. It isn't all that unique a creation but for what it is, it is very fresh and very good. It came loaded with delicious turkey. The Martha sandwich (chicken salad, apples, fennel, argula, herbs, etc.) is on special right now. Personally, I am not a big chicken salad guy but you get a lot of it and the person in our party who ordered it liked it a lot. We also tried the arancini and they were excellent. You get three arancini balls and fantastic vodka sauce on the side. This is a winner. To be honest, practically the entire menu sounds great to me.

Keep in mind they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. While you can order online, I'll always choose to go inside so I can browse everything they have to offer. Their selection of fresh pasta salads is fantastic, and the desserts are always tempting. Whether you're craving lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, a chicken Parmesan sandwich, or one of their many other Italian specialties, you really can't go wrong.

It has that warm, old-school Italian family vibe that's becoming harder and harder to find, and it's a big part of what makes this place so special.
