The Reuben was quite delicious. The meat was tender, the bread was nicely buttered, and the slaw was good. I'd eat this here again. The mashed potatoes, however, were not so enjoyable. More specifically, the gravy was very uninspired and just blah. I'll definitely have to go with one of the other sides next time. $14 is a little higher than what you'd normally pay for this type of sandwich, but that's what you get for eating at a Farmer's Market. 3.5 stars read more

Whoever recommended their fruit nut spread is insane. I sampled this today and it was sooo bland! No salt, no honey, no nothing! I tasted none of the fruits that are listed in the ingredients...Dates? Nil! Coconut? Nada! Raisins? Zippo! If you are going to sell dried fruit nut spread, the dried fruit should be highlighted. Usually when I ask for a sample, I will generally buy something to support the vendor, but in this case, I just couldn't do it. To spend mucho dinero on a tiny jar of horrible product, it was too much for me to stomach. I should have seen the signs, there was no one to be seen buying or sampling anything from this stand but me! read more

Wow we can have something else with it up in the farmers market, and boy am I glad we did, because I found this place, this is absolutely some of the best corned beef I've ever put in my mouth. The selection of food here was really good and what we ordered we both have the same thing and it was absolutely perfect. read more

See all

This place is nothing special. Yea it has a history that is semi-cool, but the food is not really worth mentioning. I have found that like most of the places in the Grove Farmer's Market, you are not going to get what you paid for. Everything is seriously overpriced, but then again these people have to pay a heavy premium for being at the farmers market. I ate my corned beef sandwich. It filled my stomach. That is all I can say about it. I ate my Mac & Cheese. It was gross. Don't eat it. I also hate the fact that at the Grove you have to go to another vendor to get a drink you want, but this is a general complaint about the farmers market and not Magee's. There are far better deli's in LA. read more

Went there today and got one corned beef sandwich and one roast beef sandwich and 2 waters. Total cost: $24.75. Sandwiches were decent but it's WAY too expensive for what it is..2 bites and my sandwich was gone! I'd try something else... read more

Hands down, Magee's has THE best corn beef in town! They have been serving Los Angeles for over 100 years so you know they must be doing something right. Their corn beef is flavorful and literally melts in your mouth . You can get a traditional plate with cabbage and potatoes or a Reuben or corn beef sandwich with coleslaw. All are fabulous! So, the next time you're at Farmers Market, try Magee's Kitchen. read more

I had a French dip here. After reading the reviews I now realize that next time I go back I should get a Reuben. The French dip was pretty stingy on the au jus... it was kinda pricey and I was expecting a really good sandwich but nothing stood out about it. I felt ripped off. Overpriced food. Don't order the French dip. It sucks. read more

Horrible customer service. They won't give you a cup of water and the reason the guy said was that they would lose money if they gave everyone water. This was after I spent money for lunch. And after he had a poor attitude. I asked for a manger. They said he was right upstairs but it still took him 7 minutes to talk to me. Tasted the very average food and won't go back even though I eat at farmers market at leafy once a week I was at Jack in the box this past week and the staff was better than this place. read more

Been eating here since I was a kid. Their corned beef and cabbage is amazing! And those little roasted potatoes... not much else can top it! I also love their roast beef and macaroni and cheese. Just really good cooking in the heart of Farmer's Market. I love that they're still here after all those years.... read more

World Famous corn beef tastes like over priced dog doodoo. Mac and cheese is good. Not pleased with my overall experience here.

The corned beef sandwich with sauerkrout, rye bread and mustard is outstanding. The corned beef is very tender and delicious. All of the elements of this sandwich are good but not over-bearing which makes a great sandwich.. This is a must try! read more

Every once in a while I get a craving for good corned beef and I end up at Magee's. Why the three star rating then you ask? Well let me first say, the corned beef can't be beat. Tender, flavorful, delicious. However, the cabbage does not live up to the hype. I think the fact that it sits for who knows how long, dampens any chance it has to be flavorful as it sweats out on the serving tray. Also the macaroni and cheese left a lot to be desired as well, as it was a bit bland and barely warm. Furthermore, I know the Farmer's market area usually sees a bit higher pricing because of the location, but the $15.50 price tag on this meal just seems a bit high in my opinion. The corned beef is good, but maybe you are better off getting a sandwich of it instead. read more

The food is good, but definitely not worth the ridiculous wait. Waited over 20 minutes for ONE quesadilla.. very disappointing. read more

Strike 2 for the Grove's Farmer's Market.... $14 for a Reuben sandwich that wasn't even that great and $13 for a chicken enchilada plate...should've ate elsewhere. I guess when you're starving, you'll scarf down whatever you think looks good. We wouldn't come back to Magee's, and will perhaps do a little more research before dining at the Farmer's Market if we decide to come to town. read more

The corned beef sandwich is definitely worth it! The beef is so pure and gold! They slice it fresh in front of you so you can be sure that its fresh! Get all of the toppings as well, they are all so delicious even though I am not a fan of vegetables. read more

Magee's Kitchen - Corned beef sandwich - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Magee's corned beef sandwich is simple and tasty. It is a no frills kind of sandwich with no toppings other than thin layer of mustard. The rye bread was fresh and nicely buttered. I ordered the side lima beans and carrot salad. The lima beans are well cooked and sweeter than expected. The carrot salad has chopped apples and raisins. I wonder what kind of dressing was in it because it was delicious! I definitely will be back for both of those! Service did not take long as there was no line even on a busy Saturday afternoon. Don't let the long lines of the other options in the market lure you away. This is a hands down great lunch spot. read more

Very overpriced. It is good but a corn beef sandwich with Mac and cheese and mash potatoes (about a scoop of each) shouldn't be $26 dollars. read more

Magee's Kitchen - Let's see if this is worth the excessive prices. .. lol - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of my favorite sandwiches is a fresh, hand carved turkey sandwich. The last decent one I had was on the other coast, the Reading Market in Philly. So here on the west coast at this Farmers Market is Maggies. Once ordered, a thin layer of mayo and mustard was spread on two slices of onion rye bread. Then she proceeded to hand carve the turkey, nice thick slices, into a sizeable pile onto one of the rye. The sandwich included a kosher dill pickle slice. The price for the sandwich? $10.95. The rye bread was fresh, soft with a crispy edge. The turkey, omg, all white meat, very tender, full of flavor. Thank you Maggies, I don't need to head to the east coast for a hand carved turkey sammich. .. read more

Stopped in on St Pattys day for the corn beef and cabbage. It was delicious! Can't believe I've never been to Magees before. Only issue was the service, the front counter staff were extremely disorganized and didn't seem to have any system in place to help customers. I stood waiting for 10 min for them to bag my food and finally had to ask bc they got distracted. On a busy day like that you need to get your system in place to get your customers in/out. read more

I love this place:) Today I had the best Reuben I have ever eaten in my whole life and I can also say that was the best sandwich I have ever eaten as well. The corned beef was very tender and flavorful and they gave plenty of it. The coleslaw was also very crisp and fresh. This will be my new favorite place because the food is excellent! Ashley was very sweet, helpful and informative. I will be back often. read more

They say their corned beef is "world famous" so naturally I was skeptical when I tried it but I was so hungry and the line for Pampas was too long. My friend and I shared the Reuben. I gotta say...that was a pretty darn good Reuben. The corned beef was the "melts-in-your-mouth" kind of tenderness. Not sure I would pay for it again though because it was $14, which is a splurge for such a small sandwich. The coleslaw was a very refreshing side dish but again 3 dollars for half a cup...but yes I know it's the Farmer's Market and you don't go there to eat cheap food. read more

Magee's Kitchen - Reuben sandwich - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ate here for the 1st time on 10.31.20 one of the Best Reuben sandwiches I've had since moving to Cali....service was Excellent....the youngman behind the counter was so polite....Definitely on my List of L A. Faves. . read more

Amazing sandwiches and great staff. They accidentally sent me home with a wrong sandwich and when I went back they were more than accommodating. Great food and service! read more

Magee's Kitchen - Booooommmbbb. Turkey sandwich. FRESH!!! - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pick up a couple sandwiches each week. But everything here is delicious. Beef Dip, Fresh, hot turkey sandwich, Corned Beef on Rye (none better). Or try the Corned beef plate with new potatoes and cabbage. Not just for St Patrick's Day. The beef and the cheese enchiladas are also very good. American style, but perfect for our family. The tostada is made as you like it. So don't be afraid to ask for something to be left off. All in all the quality has not changed, except for the better, in the 50 years we have been eating delicious meals from Magee's Kitchen. read more

Wholly mediocre corned beef sandwich on rye bread. Spicy mustard actually had horseradish in it which wouldn't be this reviewers definition of spicy. Wasn't very hot or tasty. Like most of the food places in farmers market, very mediocre. read more

Just ate here last night for the first time and I have to say it was delicious. I got the corned beef with a cob of corn, and mac and cheese on the side and it was fantastic. The corned beef tasted just like the way my grandma used to prep it. My one complaint would be about the cost- I paid about $18 for a dinner plate with the two sides. Reason I'm overlooking the cost was because it tasted so incredible. I think they could have given me more food for what you paid but again, I liked how it tasted so much that I can't give it less than 5 stars. Additionally, the service was friendly amidst the chaos of the farmers market on a Saturday night. Definitely recommend if you are looking for great corned beef! read more

This was my first visit to the Original Farmer's Market and our guide recommended Magee's to our group. I had the Ruben sandwich and my Mom had the Turkey sandwich - both were very good and it came with very delicious slaw and average potato salad. Everyone just orders at the same time at the counter - you do not need to wait in line here - so don't be shy! There are community tables everywhere so just wait and one will open up. read more

So annoying! I've been coming here forever but whenever the Spanish talking woman is on the counter, they never get my order right. I want the fat to be there, I didn't want it removed. But I guess she can't speak English read more

Best corned beef sandwich I've ever had. If you decide to eat a sandwich at the farmers market go to magees kitchen. The corned beef is so tender and you choose how you want your sandwich made from the bread to the condiments. I also got the mac n cheese as a side which was just simple nothing to brag about which brought my meal from 5 stars to 4. But corned beef is the bomb. read more

Magee's Kitchen - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Overpriced, poor quality sandwich! I ordered the corned beef sandwich on wheat bread and it was lackluster to put it mildly. It was a sandwich that I could've made at home for myself. It was not the restaurant/deli quality sandwich that you would expect for the amount of money you pay. This is more like a $3 sandwich, not $13. The very least they could've done was toast the bread which would've made a slight difference in quality. I had to do that part myself at work. read more

Originally I gave this place 5 stars but had to change my review to 1 star because when I asked to have them cut away the fat from my corned beef they wanted to charge me extra. I didn't expect extra meat, I only wanted less fat. The price of the sandwich is over priced as it is. Although the corned beef is excellent, I won't be returning because the owner/manager is not a friendly person. If you do visit the place, Juan has been slicing the meat there by hand for 30 years, and besides being an expert at it, he's very friendly. read more

Magee's Kitchen - Reuben sandwich beyond delicious. - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Decided to eat here after a day of shopping at the Grove. My friends and I were enticed by the pastrami sandwich so we order that and Downtown hotdog with baked lima beans on the side. Overall, it was a pretty decent meal that satisfied my cravings. The price was alright considering it was in the Grove/Farmer's Market. The downtown hotdog was solid and had a lot of toppings and the lima beans were spiced well. read more

I've been going to Magee's since I was a kid. This is the place to go at the Farmer's Market. Highly recommend the roast beef with au jus and real oven roast turkey that are hand-carved! Our family favorites is their traditional American carrot salad, potato salad and coleslaw - love them! Frenched dipped sandwiches, and a huge variety of incredible foods. Helpful hint: they have fresh grated horseradish that you can get with the carvery or buy a jar to have with a steak you make on the BBQ. Flavorful, better than homemade and ALWAYS fresh. The people who work there take pride in making excellent food that is better than homemade. If you want to enjoy what locals have enjoyed for decades, this is the place. When I was a kid, WWI veterans all decked out in their suits and hats would get Magee's and also hollywoods finest. It's casual dining at its best. Mom and pop business that provides excellent food. For family gatherings, they have catered. I've also bought large containers of the salads for large family gatherings and potluck dinners read more

Are you hungry for fresh, hot meats, steamy vegetables, creamed corn, and other varieties of salads? This is my go to place for traditional eating! Dwayne and company are old time friendly, and the food is delicious! Look for Ashley and Manuel behind the counter for great service. It gets super busy but it's worth it! read more

the corned beef sandwiches are so good here. i've been several times and want to try other things but i can't walk up and not get the corned beef on rye. i think it's just a tad pricey ($8 for a not so large sandwich that comes with a pickle) but i usually forget by the time i finish the sandwich, about 70 seconds later. i think i'll have them mince the corned beef and arrange it in lines on a tray next time so i can snort it and get it into my system quicker. the whole digestion thing is just too slow for me here. read more

Easy, simple and good. Mom and I had lunch here a couple of Sundays ago before seeing a movie at The Grove. I should have reviewed Magee's sooner because I have forgotten what we had, just that it was very good. I will have to go back to trigger my memory, such things I do for Yelp. :) read more

Magee's is a staple at Farmer's Market. They just recently began to accept Credit Cards after being cash only FOREVER. One of the original spots in Farmer's Market I highly recommend the corned beef. When I was little I would make my parents buy me a corn on the cob from here too ... Just awesome food. read more

Wost Reuben sandwich I have ever had, even the pickle was horrible. My sandwich was soggy and the Russian dressing tasted old. My sisters food was worse. She had two beef tacos and rice that was inedible. The rice was instant rice. Store bought taco shells and the meat was complete slop. All for around 30+$. Completely outrageous. read more

This place by far has the best corn beef. When I go I always get the dinner that comes with 2 sides and my favorite is cabbage and the boiled potato. The corn beef is so tender that by the time you get to the last piece you want more. Everyone is very friendly here so it makes your visit much more pleasurable. Only down side is I think for the price you pay they should add one more slice of corn beef. Parking is a pain sometime but it's way worth it!!!! read more
