Awesome diner. Get the pancake special. So tasty. 5 days out of 7 the owner will make you buttermilk pancakes for you. Cooked perfect everytime. Divey 50's style diner with a jukebox that only plays oldies. You will either getthe sweetest server or other ladies, not so sweet, but they fulfill the divey diner standard. Cash only, so plan accordingly. read more

Maggie's Restaurant - Perfect Pancakes every time. - Burgers Near Me - Vallejo, California

See all

Marlene is always a pleasure to deal with as well as the staff.marlene knows how to hook it up when cooking

Finally tried this place after years of wondering if it is good or not. The staff is friendly in a totally OLD SCHOOL way. It almost seems like everyone in there knows each other. It could use a GOOD THOROUGH cleaning. The food was ...greasy, as it should be, I guess, the coffee was the bottom of the pot, bad. The milkshakes are handmade and I am told they are fantastic. read more

I LOVE Maggie's and the new owner MARLENE!!! Thank you Marlene for having the drive and passion to keep Maggie's alive! Your bright, shining spirit shines through in your food, how you treat the customers and your employees. EVERYTHING at Maggie's is awesome:) Definitely a must when in that part of California. read more

Fail. I try to support local businesses, so I tried this place for breakfast. Maggie's needs a good scrub brush and bucket of soapy water. The staff is very friendly, to a fault. The waitress was talking about personal business the whole time with a customer (apparently a friend she hasn't seen in a while). My coffee cup sat empty while she continued to pour coffee in the other customers cup. The food was basic cafe food and was fine. read more

Just had the hamburger special with cheese, which comes with fries and a drink. Probably the best burger and best fries I've had in a year. Anywhere. read more

My dad convinced me to pick up burgers from here rather than Bud's - what a mistake Sure - the fries were fresh - but everything else tasted frozen The burger was grey and tasteless, the fries good yet soggy, and the onion rings, perhaps the best part of the meal - were frozen I likely will NEVER come back, but its a shame - nice mom and pop kind of corner burger place, should be amazing, they need to do a little work on their quality. read more

This is probably my favorite place in Vallejo to grab a quick bite to eat whether breakfast burritos ,BLT's Hashbrowns, Wings and waffles or just a large sweet tea with lemon. Thanks for always preparing my food with love ladies read more

Love this place!!! I've been going here since I was a kid, the food is always great and the staff is so helpful and friendly!!!

I love maggies. I was introduced by my mother. When I was younger I would always go there. As I got older I still go there. He has two workers now, that been there for awhile. Its an Caucasian woman & an African American woman.. When the manager Ken isn't there they like to party, play loud music, talk any kind of way, and just isn't professional. And wouldn't act that way if Ken was there. Maggies is a good place. Its just his workers. He deserve better workers. The workers let two woman behind the counter I seen it with my own eyes. And they give free meals to the people there cool with. They have no respect for there customers either. read more

I'm so disappointed. I used to love coming here but it feels like every time I try to eat here something happens. I've been trying to call in orders but they're always busy and today they take my order and I come in and it hasn't even been started on. I waited about half an hour before I came to see if it was ready btw, but they should've told me in advance how long it would've been because I didn't want to wait a whole hour for my food. I hope they get it together but honestly I'm done trying read more

Good prices, yum breakfast. We had an omelette and the pancake breakfast, with a hashbrown side order. Would love to have it again. Service was courteous and decor was old school. Liked it! :) read more

Always a great place to go and grab a meal. Friendly place to eat service is always welcoming and excited to get to know you. Breakfast to Burgers pick ya joy from the menu. read more

I've heard raving reviews for the entire time I've lived in Vallejo. Recently I discovered they had waffles so today I checked it out. They get two stars for finding me some non-dairy creamer for my coffee but that is all they will ever get from me. Why in the world would anyone put soggy, processed, half frozen strawberries on a crispy, hot waffle. I take partial responsibility for this, I should have asked if the strawberries were fresh. But frozen and more liquid than fruit is unacceptable even if they were processed instead of fresh. Most of my breakfast is inedible and my precious food budget took a hit eating out to start with. So very disappointed. With this level of unthinking preparation I am stunned if anything is good at all. read more

Wow.Ive been a regular client going at least one time per week for great breakfast and today was the last straw. I arrived today and sat down and after a few minutes I let the waitress know I'm ready when they are to order and her response was" I'm busy. She was serious and there was only one customer standing. So I got up and left for nearby Denny's and received great service. Sorry to say I will never return. read more

Hello everyone !!! Maggies in Vallejo is the greatest restaurant you can eat at. Marleen the owner is fantastic!!!! She is very warm hearted, kind, friendly and love people.

Open late on Saturday until 10:00 PM. If you haven't been there you are missing a experience you will never regret. read more

This is what you call good? This is what I call dirty and low quality. I'm guessing all of the owner's family members voted this place up. If I had kids with me I would have turned around and walked right out, that is how dirty the place is. I'm guessing this place was dirty 20 years ago and never cleaned after that. As for the quality of the burgers? DEFINITELY not 4 or 5 star quality. Just average. The service was inattentive and the place was small and cramped. Realistically, this place is probably worth 2 stars, but it is sooo overrated that I must give it the minimum of 1 star just to try and even it out a bit. You can fin a better burger down the road at Dairy Queen or across ton at Wendy's and be sure that the places are cleaner and better quality. read more

I love Maggie's. They have their off days but overall it is everything I want in a diner. We come here way too much because it is only a couple blocks from our house. The overall vibe of the place is just fun. read more

I love Maggie's and the new owner Marlene is an amazing hostess. The place clean, the food is always on point, and the service is top notch. I've recommend Maggie's to all my friends. So glad there's a wonderful small business like Maggie's in vallejo. It's a real family restaurant!!!! read more

Used to be fantastic.....but then it was sold to the wait staff. Today was the second time I visited since the transition and it will be my last until I hear it sells again. It took an hour and 20 min from the time we walked in until they let us pay and we wolfed down our food because we were trying to get to our kids basketball game. The meat is still delicious so they can keep 2 stars. But the service is badd, the eggs were badly cooked and they didn't have coffee ready until a food 10 minutes after we sat down.....I suggest the old waitresses go back to service and they hire a couple of short order cooks read more

Started going to Maggie's a few months back and love every aspects of it. From there spam and eggs one of my favorites to there waffles everything is cooked fresh. I often here breakfast is breakfast... um no. I dare anyone to find a better breakfast and a better price. The most important thing about eating at Maggies is the way they make you feel. From the moment you walk in they treat you like family. Always go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. I have much respect for Marlene and the crew. First class. read more

Maggies is definitely a neighborhood place. They are open for Breakfast and Lunch. Typical greasy spoon fare. Breakfast was eh... Lunch however, great burgers. The fried mushrooms are amazing as well. It's a great hangover place. The place has been listed as a burger joint to do in the past, don't blink... you will drive by! 60's throw backs hang and do crosswords, everyone seems to know everyone. Funky in the need of decor; but, the fact that the owner is a huge Marilyn fan and there is much of her all over takes away or adds to from the other wise "divey" interior. read more

After living in Vallejo for 12 years, we finally tried this place. We ordered cheeseburgers and fries on our first visit. We ordered take-out. The service was speedy and the customer service was friendly. The cheeseburgers were good size, and they were delicious, with just the right amount of grease to give it that diner taste. Plenty of fries in each order as well. We have gone back already once and tried their breakfast burritos. They were a little pricey for my taste, but because they were so good I'd definitely go back. We ordered a sausage burrito and a bacon burrito, both had a good amount of meat, hash browns, scrambled eggs and cheese. Salsa and sour cream were served on the side. Definitely one of our new favorite hole in the wall places. read more

Beverly was such a wonderful watriss. And the cook had my burger on point ... Food was great. Thumbs up to Maggies Burgers

Marlene and the Maggie's crew Always takes great care of us and all the Maggie's customers! The minute you walk in they welcome you and make sure you feel like family the entire time you are there! The food is always great and if you want something changed up a bit they are more than happy to accommodate! Thank you for always taking great care of us and making us feel so welcome! read more

I've been going to Maggie's since the early '80s, back when it was open 24/7. Good food - breakfast, lunch. I like the spam breakfast :-) If you haven't tried it, give the chili dog a whirl. I know - for hot dogs here in Vallejo, it's Sacs, Sacs, Sacs. But I'm here to tell you that Maggie's dogs are every bit as good, and in my opinion better, than Sacs. And Ken uses homemade chili. read more

I am impressed. My sons eat breakfast there often. I have come to enjoy the breakfast on a regular basis. Iv'e heard they make a good pork adobo.. I will have to wait for them to bring that item back in the fall. read more

I'm always on the lookout for a new breakfast place, but Maggie's just didn't do it for me. I ordered the spinach - bacon - cheese omelette and it was passable, but certainly not great. Too much bacon, not enough spinach or egg. Country potatoes were good - with bell peppers and onions - but nothing memorable. Although the restaurant was less than half full, it was five minutes before anyone came by my table and over 15 minutes for my meal to arrive. Again, not bad, but certainly not fast. Prices were on par with Black Bear Diner, where the servings are bigger, the food a little better and the service faster. read more

When Marlene makes the Chicken adobo, pleaseeeee make sure you try it! Marlene is the new owner and she's doing great, worked her way up from waitress to cook to owner & cook. read more

Driven past this place hundreds of times. This place is a hidden gem. Old school! Their are not many places like this left. Great hamburgers and fresh cut french fries. Big breakfast menu! Great food! Great service! All the people that work there are very nice. Definitely check it out. read more

I was craving a good burger and this place didn't disappoint. It was cooked perfectly. The fries were a little soggy, but not to bad. Friendly service and nice homey environment. Will be back for sure. read more

Worst breakfast in Vallejo so far. I didn't get greeted and place my order till about 10-15 mins from sitting at the bar area. I only ordered a chicken fried steak and there was only 3-4 people in the place and my order took 45 mins to come out. I ordered a drink and another lady came 10 mins later and asked if i had been helped yet. Service and food was horrible if you want good breakfast go to Joy on springs rd if u want good burgers go to Buds on Sonoma. read more

I feel so bad having to leave this review but the service has gone so down. It takes at least 15 min before they take your order and another 40 to cook your food. There are no gloves or hair nets being worn and a transfer of germs from cooking utensils to phone to remote. I only give it a 3 because the serving sizes are a nice portion and I know the owner worked so hard to purchase this place. Best of luck to her read more

No idea why the high ratings? Look at the cleanliness of floors, grill, fryer, etc. before ordering. Yuck!!! I opted for breakfast. Big mistake. Overcooked dried out potatoes, meat, and bread. I would have a problem cooking so many items to dryness. How do they dry out and remove all moisture from meat, bread and potatoes? It must take a lot of practice. No amount of gravy can soften dried out potatoes and meat. No amount of jelly can soften hard dry toasted bread. I had an allergic reaction in the middle of my meal. I have never had this happen before. Was it something from a contaminated grill or frying oil? Scrub the floors? Change the cooking oil? Scrap the grill? read more

Very delicous!! I like the old diner look also. The only downside, they only take cash, so come prepared!

This place had great reviews so we figured we'd give it a try, seeing as it is just down the street from our house. Wow. Underwhelming. The decor is literally falling off of the walls and has not been cleaned in decades. The floor is DISGUSTING and the booths are peeling and have not been cleaned in years. There is so much built up grease and dirt on everything it is amazing the health department has not shut this place down. Often an open kitchen is a good thing but not when you can see how dirty it is. We were so hungry we still ate here and the food was AWFUL. Overcooked eggs, burnt toast, sausage patties that were so dry I had to drown it in ketchup (along with everything else on my plate) just to make it palatable. The whole point is that I should be able to get food that is at least comparable if not better and quicker than what I can make at home. Wow. Not sure why people love this place so much but this place has nothing going for it. If I could give zero stars I would if only for subtracting another star for not accepting credit cards and not posting this anywhere. I had to walk across the street to the convenience store to get cash and pay a surcharge. I will never be back and I recommend everyone else do the same. read more

I've been coming here since i was a child same owner and employees and the food hasn't changed in quality i love this place

We love going to Maggie's for breakfast. The food is cooked right before your eyes and always cooked to perfection, to your preferences. Long time backup cook, Marlene, was recently handed over the reigns of the restaurant from Ken. She makes a point to get to know her customers and always has a smile. All waitresses are pleasant and attentive. A great way to start your day! read more

These assholes will take phone orders and let you sit there all day before they even think about taking your order. Trash.

My husband and I checked it out for the first time and wanted to try something new. Unfortunately, we are not impressed. We got in and nobody even acknowledged us. I ordered the fried mushrooms and tuna sandwich and my husband ordered the bacon cheeseburger and soggy fries . I was so disappointed. Too oily for me and got me nauseated. We will not be back sorry to say. read more
