We give them 1 star because our waitress was excellent. We felt sorry for her because the food was so bad. Over $60 for 2 cream of crab + 2 sandwiches with chips. The cream of crab soup was so over-salted it was unhealthy to eat & grease was collecting on top; we couldn't get it down. There was maybe a tablespoon of crab on top. The fried chicken sandwich was burnt and dry. We were not the only people complaining about the soup. We had not been there in years since the renovation & despite the pretty reno, unfortunately we do not intend to return. read more

I always have a good experience at Maggie's. They have been there for years, and for good reason. This weekend's visit was no different. We had the "Crab and Shrimp Norfolk" appetizer special, to start, which we both really enjoyed. I went with one of my favorites, which is duck and wild rice. This is one of my favorite dishes. They also have amazing burgers. I recommend the bacon, blue cheese burger. And Tuesday is half price burger night. My wife ordered of of their "healthy" options and was disappointed with the lack of flavor on the Salmon, but with those "healthy items, you can't really marinade or flavor the fish much because of lack of oil. So she understood. AND, they removed it from our check so my wife could order something else. She got the spinach salad which was HUGE, and delicious. We always sit at the bar when we go out, and the regulars at Maggie's are always very friendly and accomodating. The only 2 seats together were right near the door, and it was a bit too cold for us. So one gentleman moved to sit near the door for us, so that we were able to sit together comfortably. Overall, Maggie's is one of our favorite options for dining out in Westminster. read more

We were visiting friends in Westminster and they suggested Maggie's for dinner. Our party of 5 were greeted and seated immediately. They honored my request for a quiet table and seated us directly in front of the fireplace. The restaurant was nicely decorated for the Halloween/Fall season which made for a very cozy feel. Our server, Grace, came over right away. She was friendly and attentive. We ordered two bottles of wine. We each ordered something different. My husband enjoyed the cream of crab soup (which would have been better with a little sherry on the side) and the Tournedos Dijonnaise (a single 4oz tenderloin filet, pan sautéed, served in a sherry wine sauce, laced with Dijon mustard), served with garlic mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. I had the Shrimp Salad & Bacon Wrap with a side salad. Unfortunately, the wrap was mostly lettuce and tomato and very little shrimp salad and bacon. The others had the Bison burgers and a bacon Cheeseburger, which they declared delicious. To finish the meal, we shared two desserts - a coconut cake and a turtle pie. The cake was very fresh and yummy. The turtle pie was very hard and tasted stale. All in all, we had a nice time together. read more

Fantastic!! Nice menu for gluten sensitivity and for vegetarians. They are the only place in town to offer a crab cake alternative for gluten sensitivity that I know of! I can't thank them enough for that. The food is well prepared and presented. I walked away happy and satisfied. My friend who is vegetarian was happy as well. I highly highly recommend Maggie's!! The only negative that I can look past is the waitress we has needs sensitivity training. She gave me a look when I asked if the fries were gluten free. But don't let that deter you! The owner was nice and the food amazing! read more

Under new ownership. First time customer. Seems to be elevated pub cuisine. We stopped for lunch. The Pub is traditional and unique. We loved the small town feel. Roasted beet salad presented very nicely. The orange vinaigrette was light and refreshing and paired well with mild blue cheese and spiced walnut and strawberry. The Corned beef was as expected, giving you the feel of a traditional Irish pub. We tried the Moroccan soup which was quite tasty. The ahi tuna and fried green tomato appetizer presented nicely. The fired green tomatoes had a delicious breading however, the tuna portion was fairly small. The flavor was very good. Staff is pleasant and conversational. Recommend this quaint lunch spot without reservation... read more

This place has noticeably really stepped their game up lately since renovating. The staff has been extremely friendly and the food fantastic. Great to see all the new menu additions and gluten free options. Looking forward to going back! read more

Stopped into Maggies tonight for Seafood Wednesday with the wife and had a great meal. I ordered the Scallops and she had the crab cake, both were wonderful. I had the broccoli and bake potato as a side and she got a salad and spinach and they were also tasty. My Ballantine IPA draft was excellent as was her amaretto sour, our waitress was knowledgeable and polite. Jim the owner came out to ask how are meal was which was a nice touch. The atmosphere was very relaxed and it seemed there was a ton of locals as most of the staff was engaged in conversation with friends. Parking was a breeze and we were in and out with no hassles. The motto here is Relax, Meet Friends, Dine and Unwind and we certainly did just that. This is was our first visit but certainly not the last. read more

Just meh! Don't order desert it's got old freezer taste. I ordered the loose weight chicken Breast. The chicken was over cooked and dry. The salad was bagged. Old school over priced meh good. Plain flavored food We were a little skeptical when I called on a Saturday night at 630 and there was not a wait. Now we know why.. read more

All the desserts are made in house! It was hard to even get dessert because we were so full from the amazing food, which is created by their chef, but we were tempted when the waitress brought a dessert tray. She was friendly, really helpful in suggesting the best things to try, and the service was fantastic.The atmosphere of this place is great and we will definitely be back. Make sure to get the coconut cake or the turtle cheesecake, they were amazing!! Do not leave without eating their crab cakes. They are made with all jumbo lump crab meant and hardly any filler. Worth the price of 24.99 (one of their priciest dishes by the way) for the two crabs cakes, two sides, and a salad included! Happy customers :) read more

Amber was our waitress...she was so sweet n helpful. She made our experience as was all the staff. I used to go there as a kid n it was like going back in time....thanks amber for ur exceptional smile n service!! read more

My wife and I ate dinner at Maggie's on Saturday October 16th. Both the food and service was excellent. Goldie our server was great and took good care of us . The salmon I ordered was delicious and served with tasty risotto. My wife's salad with chicken with the honey shallot dressing was very good. We will definitely return. read more

I have gone here for strictly drinks at happy hour, for apps, and dinner. Happy hour has good specials on food which I appreciate. Their potato skins are the bomb. Drink list is so-so. I have seen better. Dinner I got the crabcake. Whatever grilled salad it was with was amazing and the crabcake itself was good but I got very sick after. Everyone I went with got the same thing and no one else got sick. I am gluten I tolerant and am sure there was breading in it. All in all its decent and we will go back for happy hour but probably not anything else. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try something new. We originally sat in the bar which just a little too loud (very vibrant bar scene) but they were able to easily move us to the dining area!!! We started off with the crab dip -AMAZING. It's not your usual crab dip, it's better. I had the crab cake entree. It was ever better than the crab dip!!!! I got 2 crab cakes, which I wasn't even expecting!!! It had giant pieces of crab meat and they were seasoned perfectly. The birds nest and potatoes I didn't care much for but I was stuffed anyways. My boyfriend had the bison burger! I'm vegetarian so I didn't try it but he said it was delicious!!! The service was really good. It was our servers first night serving alone but he did just fine!!!! We'll definitely be back!!! read more

Good place to grab a drink. Old world charm. Bar is small and can get crowded. Crab soup was good too. read more

Maggie's Restaurant - Great bar - American Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

Went here on a Saturday night with a girlfriend for some wine, a bite to eat, and a catch-up! Since the weather was nice, we asked to sit out on the patio, which had a quiet and cozy feel, even on a weekend night. Nice wine list, and great to see that they feature some local wines! We split a few appetizers: the crab dip, the crab crostini, and the calamari. The crab dip was by far the highlight - creamy and delicious and served with crispy slices of baguette. The crostini wasn't memorable - the bread it is served on is too thick and overshadowed the rest of the dish. The calamari was our least favorite - too oily and soggy for our taste! The food didn't leave an impression but I'd give this place another shot, even if it's just for the crab dip and some more wine :) Service was also great! read more

Outstanding! Being new to the area we wanted to find and try a place that's well established and not an Olive Garden type restaurant. My Google search proved successful! The Hawaiian PiPi Tenderloin was prepared perfectly. The service was A+. Travis was friendly and explained various dishes to us and gave us time to evaluate the menu and choose our meals. He took time to talk to us about the history here and we enjoyed listening to and sharing personal stories. The drinks a were a healthy pour and went well with our meal. Such a diverse menu. Lots of great choices. We will be back for sure. read more

These really are the best crab cakes around. The meat was tasty and lumpy. The half and half cream of crab soup was also tasty. I will come back here again. They ship their famous cream cakes all over the world. It's good as a gift. read more

Maggie's Restaurant - Great Hot Wings - American Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

Crab cakes delivered to Phoenix. Arrived timely, properly wrapped and packaged as a perishable. Indescribably delicious.

Ordered a salad and when I got home I realized they didn't put any dressing in the bag. I called to let them know and Jim said I don't know what you want me to do. He said it was like beating a dead horse with my employees. Not the response I was expecting. I know times are tough during Covid but that was ridiculous. We try to support the restaurant industry but with customer service like that, we won't be supporting this restaurant. Such a shame. read more

The cream of crab soup will forever be my go-to meal when here!! Just when you think you've reached the end of restaurant options in Westminster you end up finding Maggie's at the end of Main Street. We loved coming here all during college and it brings back great memories to visit there now. read more

Good local restaurant to go to. I've lived in Westminster my whole life and this is one of the few restaurants that still comes up when we're discussing where to eat or drink. The bartenders are a lot of fun as are the servers. Food is amazing, half priced burger night is so worth it. Best to go in the summer though because my only complaint is that the bar area at night can get crowded. So in the summer you can sit out on the deck to drink and smoke for some extra room. read more

I've been holding off on this review for a while but felt the need to address what seems to be a common complaint for Maggie's -- CLEANLINESS. The last time I came here there was literally a thick ring of dirt caked around the rim of our glasses.. The window sill was decorated with flies... and there was so much dust everywhere I felt like i was dining in grandma's attic. Honestly this was probably the most disgusting interior I've ever seen at. The owner should be downright embarrassed and ashamed. The sad thing is, the food is GREAT. The service is GREAT.. and the location is GREAT.. So what gives? It's not like Maggie's has run out of cash. They just put a huge billboard on 140. Why not put this money towards a deep cleaning and some upgrades? Clearly, based on countless reviews on Trip Advisor that I've read, your patrons want a cleaner and upgraded restaurant. But it's obvious the owners are either oblivious or don't give a damn. I'd be a regular here otherwise because I live really close by. But I can't patronize a place that looks this bad. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised by the food at Maggie's... was expecting bar food and was blow away... best jalapeño poppers ever, crab deviled eggs, cream of crab soup, and Reuben... just to list a few of my fav that have been insanely delicious and amazing service... seriously one of the best places in Westminster read more

Great food, great people, always a good time! Best place to eat in Westminster!! Kid friendly and reasonably priced. Outdoor seating when weather permits and live music on the weekends! read more

Solid place. Stopped in for some happy hour specials; wings and crab dip. Food was definitely very good, not amazing. They had a nice selection of craft beers, which they don't seem to advertise. Service was sufficient. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been going with family to Maggie's for years and the wait staff is always friendly, the food is very good (go for the crab cakes) and I think I've only had one meal there that was a bit off. Shrimp-spinach salad w/melon and pecans also a fav, but it's better with the sauteed shrimp--Old Bay does not work with this combo. Could use some new chairs--not comfortable. Good, old reliable place. read more

First time eating at Maggie's tonight.Interesting to say the least.For one,when you walk in,Your greeted by friendly staff of which had us seated very quickly.The whole vibe seemed stressed and we couldn't shake the feeling that the place was haunted.I had a burger which was pretty good.Fries were good too.My wife had crab cakes with the birds nest thing.Tasted like a mangled onion ring but was good!A woman chewed out their waitress for not bringing her a plate to match her husbands size for the steak they were going to share and another couple was upset because someone decided to turn the thermostat to Antarctic temperatures and they were directly underneath one of the ducts blasting cold air.it was around 60 degrees today so needless to say,they were pissed.I don't know,Overall it was pretty solid experience. read more

I worked here for almost five years as a kid. The food is not from a bag as someone wrote. We had very talented cooks that prepared each meal as they came in and at times this artsy process took time. It is not fast food so don't expect that. Go to enjoy the environment, talk with family and friends and try the au jus with Maggie's melt..yum yum. I never liked the potatoes balls that come with the entrees so just substitute them out. All the dressing is hand made as well, I like the peppercorn but others love honey shallot. I give this 4 stars because of the management that made this place stressful to work for and in turn I felt the customers/ environment was effected. There's something about just being yourself that is humanizing and having the owner watching your every move did not allow this connection. I have to say, Kelly, when I was a kid, got me an entire chocolate cheesecake made by JR and had the bar sing to me when I started at this place. I'll never forget that! Thanks and keep this happy go lucky environment read more

We swing in for the $. 75 wing special on Sundays. The wings are always good along with some delicious Bleu cheese. Never a bad dish in over 10 visits. read more

Love this place. My coworkers held my retirement party in the large back room. It was fantastic. The food was displayed as an attractive buffet. There was plenty of delicious food for all. The Rubin bites are fantastic! Service was great, fast, friendly and continual until we finally cleared out several hours later than expected. What a wonderful experience. read more

We had a very unfriendly visit to Maggie's yesterday. My husband is a 100% disabled veteran and we eat at Maggie's 2 or 3 times a month. Many moons ago, one of the hostesses told us we were welcome to use the handicapped entrance, which we always do since she told us that. My husband walks with a cane and has macular degeneration so does not adjust quickly coming in from daylight into the bar area, or negotiating the step there by the hostess. We came in through the handicapped door yesterday and the first waitress said, you must come in the other door. Then a waiter came up to us and told us that entrance was only for wheelchair access. After much negotiation we sat down at a table in the corner of the dining room. We will not be coming back anytime soon. read more

We were excited to visit Maggie's after it reopened after being closed for renovations after being sold. It has always been one of our favorite places to eat. We were sadly disappointed. It is just not the same place we loved. The renovations are beautiful but they are definitely going for a more upscale atmosphere. Gone is the homey, warm, welcoming neighborhood feeling. The hostess was friendly and we were seated right away. Our waitress was fantastic, very friendly. We were very disappointed with the new menu which has just a fraction of the old dishes. We expected the menu to be different but the new menu offered such few options it really isn't worth the trip. Thankfulky we were there for lunch and not dinner, which consists of only 4 or 5 entrees. We all ordered Shirley Temples which tasted more like carbonated water with no fruity cherry flavor. Our food was served quickly. The crab dip was delicious and is served with fantastic crusty bread. Definitely the highlight of the meal. The sirloin steak sandwhich was good. The beef was tender but could have been seasoned a little more. My son said his grilled chicken sandwich was fine but nothing special. The Maggie Beef Melt which my other son ordered was completely flavorless. I ended up giving him half of my sirloin sandwhich. The waitress was great and came back several times to refill drinks. Food is a bit pricey which I don't mind if it is good, but sadly it wasn't worth the price. Unfortunately we won't be stopping back again anytime soon. While the service was great, the severely paired down menu and mediocre food are not reminiscent of the Maggie's we loved. read more

We have been to Maggie's several times and have enjoyed it. The crab cakes are very good and the French onion soup is great. Last night, however, was a different story. My daughter and I were seated in the bar area, and the restaurant was busy. So, service was slow, but we were in no rush. We just ordered entrees because portion sizes are large. My crab cakes were very good, but she ordered the seafood pasta....not so good. I kept getting an aroma of ammonia or cat urine, but thought it was due to sitting in the bar. My daughter didn't want to complain, but said the shrimp tasted terrible. Then I realized that the bad smell was her food! I mentioned this to the waitress who responded that she had served this all night without issue. She didn't even bother to send over a manager. I was a restaurant manager in the past, so I know the sometimes customers try to get out of paying their bill, but I just wanted them to know of the problem so that no one got sick. It's a shame. I do like Maggie's, but between the rude server and the dicey shrimp....not sure I will go back. read more

Lots of people from the area frequent this place. I can't figure out why.....mediocre food (at best). Their staff is awful. I train bartenders in the service industry. I would like to make a video of the staff at Maggie's to show my students what NOT to do. Terrible! Went here 3 different times over the years. Each experience was just bad. The only place worse than this, in Westminster, is Johannson's (sp?). Don't waste your time or money at either of these places. read more

Sunday brunch - don't waste your time. Reservations only. Wait staff are curt. And the food isn't worth all that. There are better choices just down the road. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant since it got such great reviews. We went early on a Friday evening, were seated immediately, and had great service throughout the meal. The food was great. So good, in fact, that we decided to take some berry cheesecake trifle home with us. When we went to eat the dessert, the first bite included a piece of broken glass in it. Luckily, no damage was done. We contacted the restaurant and they offered to compensate us for the dessert and would remove the dessert from the menu. (This is why this review is 2 stars instead of 1). We declined because it is hard to trust a place after such a bad experience. If there was an accident in the kitchen where a glass broke and food in the area was still served, what other questionable practices are going on that we are unaware of? read more

Dinner with my honey at Maggies. Perfect evening! Food was delicious and service was fast and professional. Check it out!

A local's favorite. Cream of crab soup or any crab dish are authentic and excellent. Live local bands. Keep them fairly low key so fun and dancing, but not loud. Excellent menu. All is great read more
