Nice ambiance for outdoor seating. It's a 'ladies who lunch' sort of place. I had the seasonal strawberry/mango spinach salad and Philly cheesesteak. The salad was good and I enjoyed it. The sandwich was 'meh' The bread was atrocious! It was one of those brown and serve sandwich rolls and not browned to boot. Really, what were they thinking? Charge me a little more and get some decent bread. They had plenty of meat, skimped on the cheese and mushrooms though. We split a peach crepe for dessert. Two nice crepes with a creamy filling and fresh peaches and whip cream on the outside. I would have liked a couple more peach slices, but it was definitely good enough to order again. Bottom line, I would go back for a salad. Another table had the baked potato soup, and I would try that too. It looked yummy. read more

Great food and great service in a cozy atmosphere during the holidays. We had the trio dip as and appetizer. My Caesar salad was the best. My daughter had the French dip and said it was great. My friend enjoyed the lasagna. Parking was easy on a Tuesday evening. read more

Wow, what a fun find! I had the So Gouda sandwich (w/ham) and their spinach salad (w/feta, cranberries, etc.). Great flavors, decent prices, but they're popular and crowded (as such, the service was a bit slow.....but the food is definitely worth the wait). read more

Magpie's Cafe - 1/2 & 1/2 (Spinach salad, So Gouda sandwich on wheat......fresh baked!) - New American Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

The staff members were all very nice! The food was ok, nothing to run back for. It didn't taste or look like restaurant food, more like I was at someone's home. A bit overpriced for some items. read more

We ate lunch on the patio, the food and drinks were awesome. The service not so great .

BEST food and desserts - however a little pricey. Worth it though! Service can be slow. read more

Magpie's Cafe - Strawberry Crepe - seasonal - New American Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

Good chicken salad sandwich! Coconut cream pie was just OK and was a very small piece.

Took my family from out of town after hearing great reviews. It was rainy and there were only 8 people in the entire restaurant and we still sat for over an hour until any food showed up at the tables. When it did finally come it was nothing spectacular, certainty not worth the wait. The staff was friendly and the margaritas were good, but other than that a complete disappointment. read more

Food was just OK - a little overpriced for dinner. My wife and I only ate half our entrees. Service as very slow. Not the server's fault - not enough servers were working tonight. We ordered cocktails, but were never asked if we would like another. I stopped someone clearing the dishes and asked for another glass of wine. It wasn't delivered until we got the check. We were offered a refund, but I didn't want to delay the process so we left the full glass of wine. read more

THERE BREAD IS AMAZING!! 10/10 also don't pass on there potato soup if you're trying to be on a budget

Crappy service, horrible waitress. I think she needs to review the customer service manual. Food was microwaved filth. Cooks weren't wearing gloves and the kitchen appeared to be the dirtiest thing I had seen. Horrible horrible experience. read more

We met some friends for dinner here, and we were so surprised! The food was delicious, some of us had pot roast and it was better than grandma's!!! The desserts were amazing, and our waiter was awesome !! We will most definitely be back. read more

Nice outdoor patio. Friendly service. Smaller menu. Food was descent and well priced. I will return.

I am sure the perfect weather had something to do with it but the time here was just as good as it gets. Sitting on the patio eating melted brie with sliced almonds and dried cranberries (excellent), house salad (very good), roast beef on french, (very good) and potato soup (excellent and a well known dish here). Service was very friendly and prompt ... definitely worth a trip back. read more

We have lived in St. Charles for nearly a decade and are just now exploring some of the restaurants we drive by constantly. Why did we wait so long to try this place out??? First of all, they are quite gluten free-friendly. They have gluten free bread and rolls plus they make most everything from scratch so they know what's in everything. I had one of the grill specials with two sides and my wife had a salad. We were both more than thrilled. Everything was fresh and had lots of flavor. Only slight hiccup is the set-up/service. They don't have a list for waiting. You have to stand in a good old fashioned line. If you want to sit outside, it's not obvious where to go to get seated. I do wish they'd just put up a sign to clarify. We ended eating inside b/c it was immediate seating vs. 15 minute wait outside and must have heard the bartender/cashier tell 30 people the same thing over and over (and at least a handful seemed irritated). Also, the service is a bit slow. It's not awful but expect to wait a bit longer than most places. read more

I love Magpies! The food is fantastic. You have to get the potato soup and the spinach salad dressing is so good. This is the perfect winter lunch spot. read more

Worst BLT ever, no exaggeration -- in AUGUST not January when they should be amazing. Think stale, dry bread, COLD bacon, grocery store tomato slice, limp lettuce. Barely warm crepes topped with Cool Whip. Really? On the upside, the spinach salad was great and the patio is lovely. read more

Went here on a Monday for lunch. I had the half turkey and bacon sandwich (can't remember the name) and half house salad. Our party also shared the cheese bread. The sandwich and salad were excellent. Everything is so fresh. The cheesy bread was fine. It took a little while to get our food, but not an unbearable amount of time. I had the bread pudding which was extremely good. After we received our check our server never returned to the table to check on us (waters could have used refills), they were not very busy. I've eaten there once before awhile back, while I do not recall what I had I remember liking it. read more

I have been to this restaurant 3 times now, and every single time has been more than fantastic. This time around I had the So Gouda sandwich and Baked Potato Soup. Both were perfectly cooked and well-balanced with the flavors. My roommate and I were one of two tables there on a weekday close to closing- time but were treated as if we were the first customers they'd had all day. Atmosphere is honey and inviting. I highly reccomend this fabulous restaurant. read more

The crapes are amazing!!!! If nothing else go there for dessert totally awesome!! Potato soup was really good too!!!

It's a good thing their food is tasty because the service is worse than lacking from our waitress tonight. The ambience of the patio was great, though broken by the kitchen staff congregating just above us to smoke and speak/swear loudly while we waited 20 minutes for the salads. Dinner portions were a bit weak and if you choose to order dessert to go, check it before you leave because "two creeps" on the menu turns out to be only one when you get to the hotel to enjoy it. Maybe our fault on this endeavor was arriving 30 minutes prior to the 9:00 closing, because our experience seems out of the norm based on reviews but we definitely will not try here again and will discourage our friends from going here as well. read more

Food was ok, server was not great. Had the mediterranean flat bread and the pesto chicken flat bread. We all liked the pesto chicken on best. Fairly small. Nice patio. read more

Overpriced and my Philly sandwich was tough to eat. My friend ordered a steak and it was too tough to eat so he sent it back to cook some more and never got it back. But they tried to charge us for it. read more

I will never return to Magpies! My friend and I were waiting for a table, I had a baby in a car seat and she had 2 boys. The manager taking the reservation told another staff that we were going to be seated in the back because of the kids. A server walked in the front door, rudely bumps into me and did not ever say "excuse me" or " sorry". Another group of 6 people walk in and sat at a table, the staff said nothing to them about waiting for a table and the staff did not communicate with myself or my friend about our wait for our table. Upon leaving and eating at a different restaurant I called to inform the manager of how dissatisfied I was with the service today. The manager argued with me and told me that I was in the wrong the entire time I was on the phone. I will never return to magpies. read more

Six of us went to Magpie's for lunch yesterday. I have been there many times and have never had such poor service and poor food quality. The soup and quiche was barely warm. The waitress was slow and not too friendly. I understand it's a busy time of year, but customer service still counts. read more

WAY overpriced for the fact that they don't use a single spice on their food. I got the lemon/artichoke chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. My boyfriend got the bacon wrapped pork, mashed potatoes, and green beans. He is extremely easy to please, and said it was all super bland. They have no sides other than whatever they feel like cooking for a bunch that night. The chicken tastes like bag chicken with a bland prepackaged gravy that had no flavor much less lemon, butter, or artichoke. The atmosphere was loud, and difficult to talk because of the extremely small space they call a dining room. It's not quaint, or cozy, it's just small, crowded, and loud with bland food. Not even worth a deal obtained on Living Social, or Groupon. Only place I've ever wanted to leave after 1 bite. read more

This is one of those incredible local spots that you always hear about but never seem stumble upon. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is just as good. Do yourself a favor and get the potato soup. Finish out the meal with a Banana Heath Crepe...you couldn't possibly regret it. If you're still trying to decide if you should go here or the place down the street...GO HERE! read more

The food was really good. Hubby says the salmon was the best he had ever had. The bread could have been a tad browner but the bread pudding is amazing! Really enjoy the location too right on Main St. in St. Charles. read more

Magpies is simply amazing. The soups and salads are fantastic. And if things couldn't get any better, get a serving of blackberry coblar a la mode. Nothing else on Main Street beats Magpies. read more

Nice cozy place on Main Street. Busy at lunch time, but always seem to get us seated quickly. Loved the "So Gouda" Sandwich!! try this.

I came here with a restaraunts.com gift card with my mother in law. Lovely little joint it was cozy and we were seated right away. I ordered the so Gouda sandwich and baked potato soup. Absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

We have eaten here many times and the food is usually good. This time the soup was cold and didn't get any refills. When young lady at the checkout asked me how the food was I told her. Her response was "I'm sorry " and nothing else. Very disappointing for what you pay. read more

Wife and I are lunch at MagPies yesterday on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in St. Charles. MagPies has one of the best outdoor seating areas , with a view right down Main Street. The Spinach salad had a special with French dressing and pears that was very good. Potato soup and the So Gouda were just right on a fall day. All in all a solid lunch cafe. read more

Not sure if we were just there on a bad day, but stars are for the drinks and the outside seating. Food left a lot to be desired. Got portabellas and flat bread appetizers neither of which I would recommend. Other people's flat bread looked good, but ours was charred. Not typically picky about something resembling pizza, but would have preferred a frozen one. Service was ok on slow side which I don't mind if food is good, but wasn't really worth the wait. read more

Food was delicious, staff was extremely friendly, and ambiance was pleasant. Would suggest avoiding the central dining space as it's right off the kitchen and takes away from the experience. The staff was stretched a little thin when they got busy, but the experience as a whole made up for any shortcomings. If I get a chance to visit again, I will. Next time, I'll take advantage of their outdoor area. Had the group I was with this time been up for it, I believe eating outside would've been the best. read more

Great lunch, delicious soups and fresh sandwiches... but the desserts really were especially good.

We have been fans since they were in their other location, down the street. I love to eat outside, and they have a lovely patio. The baked potato soup is really good, even recommended by other restaurants' staff. There are several good salad and sandwich options. Wait time can be a bit long at times, and sometimes one of the waitresses is a bit short-tempered, but all in all, we love it, and go whenever we visit St. Charles. read more

I had the house beef with the hearts of palm salad. My wife had ham and cheese with squash soup. It was all decent. Not great. Not bad. It just didn't make an impression. read more

Love Magpie's! Been going since I was just a little girl when my mom used to work at a shop down main street. Their baked potato soup is as good as it gets! The Gobbler and Good Neighbor sandwiches are my favorite. The patio is also amazing year round...just beautiful! My favorite restaurant on main street! ;) read more

Excellent lunch food, but it did not stand out as superior in the area. Known for potato soup--very good. I ordered crepes, but was delivered blackberry cobbler w/ ice-cream. Very good. Reasonable portions. read more
