my girl friends and I went to maggies on a Saturday, our experience was one of the worst bar…read moreexperiences we've ever had, the bartender treated us like we were a burden for wanting drinks at 830 on a saturday. there was a gentleman there who approached us and asked us to please give maggies another chance and to come see him on st pattys day, we went and the bar was packed, however the bartender absolutely exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, our friend was embarrassed to do keroke alone so the bartender offered to do it with her, you don't find bartenders that go above any beyond like that often. now well be calling ahead and will only be going if Robert's there. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Also his special cocktail was absolutely delicious!

I can understand an online menu being outdated. What I cannot understand is how a restaurant can…read morehave two different paper menus, in the restaurant, with different prices for the exact same items. We were originally given the higher-priced menu. Only after I questioned the price difference did the bartender bring us another paper menu with lower prices. At that point, we literally had two different menus with two different prices sitting in front of us. That made the whole experience feel extremely untrustworthy. I hate to even wonder whether we were given a different menu because we're Asian, but honestly, the situation was uncomfortable enough that the thought crossed my mind. Customers should never be put in a position where they have to wonder something like that. We kept our order simple, didn't order any drinks, and left. Maybe there is an innocent explanation, but having two different in-house menus with different prices is simply unacceptable to me. Check the prices carefully before you order.

I expected to see more younger folks singing but it was mostly a Boomer night. Service is always great and tonight was no different. My only (recurring) complaint is how does a place that prides itself as an Irish Pub serve ICE COLD Guiness. I knew this from past experiences, so I ordered a Guiness with my martini and let it sit a good twenty minutes but it was still cold by the time our dinners were served. Bar seats were at a premium until after the dinner rush. Then it opened up a bit. Pool table is always busy when I have been there. Im sure we will return, but Im not sure I will order any more Guiness until they get serious about serving a proper stout.

We were greeted and sat by a pretty young lady named Kat (I'm just guessing that it's spelled with a 'K'), who said she was tired and at the end of her shift, but was still full of energy and very sweet. She went on to answer our questions about the seafood bar and about the menu too... The seafood bar was small but full of great seafood choices! The interior was fitting for the area, well lit, had wood paneling, a large bar and plenty of seating. Also, since it is a bar, the urinals were made from old kegs... A cool addition and an 'up cycle' idea. Food... I was hoping for some Irish dishes, but because they closed early for the holiday, they kept the menu limited, so I opted for the next best thing, a big ol' burger, salad, and a bowl of clam chowder, which is not common where I live. The clam chowder was full of clams and vegetables, but not tomatoey at all. It tasted as good as it looked. The side salad was large, fresh and refreshing. My burger was just how I like it... Thick, juicy, flavorful, and spicy! I order mine med rare, Blackened, with jalapeños, bacon and cheddar, lettuce, tomato and onions on top, then add hot sauce. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in the area and try some other things.

Immediately greeted and shown to our table and drink order taken. Neither of could decide on a whole meal so we both got different meals to split. Both cajun paninis (tuna on one chicken on the other). Food was quick and the fries were fresh out of the fryer HOT! Damn hot! Warning label hot! My fault for shoving a handful in my mouth before I realized it. Perfectly cooked. A+! On to the main course. Both paninis were delicious. Although the seasoning wasn't as pronounced across the entire chicken, kind of hit and miss on the spice. Tuna was perfect. Well cooked and spiced. Overall a great little place to grab a quick lunch. We've added it to our "food in the area" list for when we're down that way again. Definitely recommend. Thank you

The parking lot was packed but don't let that turn you away. That is mostly the crowd at the beach itself. The Red Fox offers outdoor seating, some of which is covered and some is not. It was the perfect day for an outdoor lunch. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. Now for the food, it was awesome! It was fresh and delicious! I had the Tuna Poke Tacos with mango salsa and a spicy aioli sauce. I could have stopped at one but couldn't contain myself for the second! I am hoping to try and recreate the dish myself! My husband had a chicken wrap with jersey tomato's, lettuce & mayo and it was packed with chicken. The fries were hot and seasoned perfectly. I can't wait to return again.

Well - we had to go see a music school engagement at the Waterfront today and decided to have a little lunch. First as a appetizer I order the Grandma Connie's Home made meatballs ($15.50) two meatballs, about 1/2 teaspoon of ricotta and some kind of marinara sauce that was more like tomato water than anything that resembled an Italian gravy - Horrible! Then wife said forget that and lets get sandwiches; ok - she got the Short Rib Grilled Cheese ($20.00), and I got the Bourbon Chicken Wrap ($17.50) - they were Both Horrible! Grand kids got the chicken fingers ($18.00) and they were a bit over cooked but tasty. Overall opinion = Food is way overpriced for the quality, flavors are blah to horrible and just no worth another trip. Too many good food places around, this one is huge pricy disappointment........
