Maggie Bluffs

Came here with a friend for lunch. Drinks and the fish tacos were pretty good. The service was great. You also have a nice view of the marina, depending on where you sit.

I've been here twice, but this was my first time for breakfast. Though the food tasted great, the amount we got for the price we paid was steep. Their $14 pancake breakfast came with 3 small (less than 6 inch)... 😃 and 2 measly pieces of bacon. That was it. I added potatoes (which ended up being a very small portion) to my order for $5 and when the whole meal came, the amount for $19 didn't even seem like enough had I paid the original $14.

I Will definitely be coming back here. Everything we ordered tasted amazing including the drinks. Solid service, they include indoor and outdoor options. Very well adjusted for social distancing. Burger was juicy, cooked to perfection and shapely delicious. The French dip was too die for, SO GOOD! The calamari was a meal in itself, it was a huge portion size. The old fashioned drink was well made and delicious. Staff was friendly and timely. We had a 15 minute wait for an indoor table on a Saturday.

Maggie Bluffs was a great little restaurant, right on the water, to catch a bite to eat. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the view. The fish and chips were very good. They were all cooked with a crunch on the outside. The fish was 3 good sized pieces and came with tartar sauce and the waitress brought out some malt vinegar, as well. It was a nice touch on the chicken. The French fries were crisp and not limp. Would definitely eat there again.

We've been to Maggie Bluffs a handful of times and it was a nice day so we decided to go and sit outside. Nice view that is for sure. Our server was so nice, actually everyone we encountered was very kind. The atmosphere is old school inside and it's great! Let's talk about the food. The clam chowder was extremely delicious and the perfect taste. It's hard to compete in Seattle so they did it well. We ordered a cup and it was literally half full so maybe 5 bites. At least the cup could've been filled to the top. The fish and chips were good but the fish was very thin and they could've added a few more fries. They used to have a good happy hour. I asked if they were serving happy hour and they weren't. They must've ended it. The Moscow mule seemed a little weak. Also they charged a living wage surcharge on top of the bill. Not sure why places do this. Just add a little extra into the food prices so no one knows.

First time trying Maggie Bluffs and really enjoyed it! The view is incredible - you can see both Mount Rainier and the Space Needle from the patio! The calamari was delicious and the steamed shrimp were solid. Overall, the service was great! There were only a couple downsides. It took quite a bit to get the food but it was a lovely day so I wasn't too bothered about that. The beer selection was probably the biggest disappointment. They were sold out / marked-thru two of the drafts, then when I ordered a Seapine IPA (not marked through) I found out they were also out of that. So the only IPA or pale on draft was Manny's and I'm never that desperate. The bottle/can list was very limited to domestics (some of which they were also out of). So when visiting again I'll be prepared to have a bottled domestic, not the end of the world but would love to see more support of local breweries.

My BBQ burger was good, edge of the buns were burn. Tots could be more crispy. Calamari was good, lite batter, I like the sauce. My friend did not like her fish taco, it was too bland. 4 stars is for Amanda, our server, she as very good, patient with big group, there were 14 of us. To get to restaurant, it was little tricky. Turn to go down to pier can be easily missed.

Good food. Awesome beers. Amazing views anytime of the year. Staff is overworked and not sufficient to cover all tables. Wait times can be long. Come for the views and drinks. Good thing the view is available from outside.

Alright, me and Maggie's officially go way back to the good old days. I have fond memories of HH and wings in a divine Cola BBQ sauce, that despite my best efforts will not return to the menu. I must give 5 stars because of the potential this little gem with a view holds in the Magnolia neighborhood. It's super close to town, has a wonderful sunset view all summer long, and cold flowing drinks for whatever peaks your interest that day. A for effort, B for food, and an F to management for consistently failing to properly staff this place on a sunny day. It seems like no matter when I come in, high season, low season, a holiday, a Monday at 2p, the staff is working their A**es off to keep this place afloat, and no one comes to save them as they clearly drown. I came in last week on a known to be beautiful sunny day - pre-spring as we call it, and sure enough they were busy. It was early in the day and not too, too busy, but after I sat down, a lot of other's came in. There were only two cooks, and two servers. One server usually does the drinks to help out, but they were both working at their fastest and most efficient levels. They looked stressed but were always so nice when asked a question or it was time to order. Because of all of this, I watched a small family come in, not get a drink for over 10 minutes, then not get their order taken for another 15. The food never made it by the time I left and they were looking agitated but understanding that they were overwhelmed - who wouldn't be? Well some people get really annoyed and take that hangry attitude out on the staff --- which again, thank you management for not properly staffing and then allowing your staff to have to deal with double or triple stress from disgruntled customers. Tip - there's plenty of staff upstairs who can come down to assist. Whether they come down in two hour shifts, or what is up to you, but be fair and spread the help out on a busy, sunny, Saturday. You are going to lose Maggie's as more and more people quit restaurants. High prices = High expectations. We still have to tip 20% on higher menu prices, so please help out your crew so they don't burn out and leave the customers hanging.

Located at the Magnolia Marina under the Palisades restaurant lies this little gem. A casual environment makes this a great choice for the family as well. With a good selection of soups, sandwiches and salads, you will have something to your liking. On this night it was a Sunday evening so not your typical go out and eat night. However our server was very attentive and was quick with our refills. In todays day and age, staying under $30 per plate your doing good. That is easily achievable here. Plenty of parking spaces you're assured of a place.

Came on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch and were told we could sit anywhere because they weren't very busy. Service was good and food came out quick. My friend said the food was pretty good but I have to disagree considering our 2 piece Fish and Chips, Prime Rib Dip, and Calamari came out to about $70 after tips. Although I do understand the fact that the restaurant is right on the marina. Nothing much to write about but seems to be a solid spot for locals or families who want to dine with a nice view but don't want to spend a lot of money in Palisade, right upstairs. Food barely had any seasoning, but I do have to say that the sweet potato fries were delicious! Would I personally come back? No. But it's not terrible, and maybe my pallet isn't their target.

They've got a great Bloody Mary, and although the crew seems pretty young, service was not bad at all. Beautiful spot to sit by the water (if you catch Seattle on a nice day) with a cocktail and some bites. Their crab and artichoke dip (not pictured) was also delicious.

Maggi es is my go to. It is my favorite spring and summer spot in the city to get away and feel disconnected from the city but close to the water. They serve your typical barfare, but it feels upscale a bit just because you're so close to the water and boats. Can't recommend this place enough.

Gorgeous view. Great service. We've had lunch and dinner here and never been disappointed. However, breakfast was a first for us here. We had pancakes for one meal and the Maggie Marina breakfast for the other. Small portions and if you want 1 slice of toast (cut in half) it'll be $2 extra. The bacon was undercooked and super thin. The eggs were, eggs....but cooked perfectly. The potatoes were ok but small portion. The coffee was amazing. It'll cost ya $4.50 and a soda $4.75. The pancake meal came with bacon and we got a side of potatoes....$5, and small portion. So for $51.04 we had an ok breakfast with a great view and superb service. $10 tip and $60 total.

The food is probably more like a 3.5. Solid but not spectacular. What moves the needle is that fact that Maggie Bluff's is dog friendly. There were a couple of really cute pups out with their people and my little rescue mutt was at home today so it was nice to enjoy the goofy guys hanging out. Fish and chips were tasty but pretty greasy - more so than normal. My bud had a burger - looked pretty good and you can't miss with tater tots. :) I ordered the sweet potato fries to go with the fish. Yum. Years ago they had a killer meatloaf. I would have ordered that if it were still available. Can't beat the ambiance - right over the water overlooking the marina. Fun stuff.

No clue why these guys have such a low rating - we thought it was great! We split the 3 piece fish & chips and I'm glad we just got 1 to split because it was HUGE. I tried a Bloody Mary that was really good, and my bf had a draft beer - they have a decent selection. We split a yummy slice of key lime pie for dessert and were absolutely stuffed when we left. Service was super friendly and attentive. I will say that we were there in Nov, so it was pretty quiet. It probably gets really crazy in warmer months, but we were able to enjoy a nice, quiet dinner at the time we were there, and the fish and chips were some of the best we've had in quite a while.

We had lunch at Maggie's today. The view and our server (Aiden) were 5 stars. Unfortunately the food was just not good. The mushroom burger tasted like the meat was frozen and was not even average for a pub. The cod tacos were underwhelming. Over breaded and the tortillas were gummy and cold. This is our second trip in the last 3 months and unfortunately this seems to be consistent. We might go back for the views and have a beer but that is it. It is really unfortunate that Maggie's seems to have declined. It used to be one of the best places in Seattle with awesome views and good food combo. Magnolia Village should intervene and buy Palisades and Maggie's from Landry's and return them to 'best in the area' status. It is a shame not to get the best out of those amazing views.

The food was really good and the service was also good! We ate at the patio, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and view of the marina.

Had lunch outside on 8-14-24. Hostess and server were super friendly. My wife had a hamburger, and it was cooked as she requested, and the patty was thicker than most hamburgers elsewhere. She said the sweet potato fries were excellent. I had 2 fish & chips + fries, and it was all good.

Cindy makes the best bloody Mary's! Great breakfast great staff great drinks! Hidden gem water view with dog parks

Our family's been going to Maggie Bluffs for over 20+ years now, and they are one of our most favorite restaurants in Seattle! Always the best for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Family friendly, great parking, TV's, and amazing outdoor seasonal seating overlooking the Elliot Bay Marina and the Seattle skyline! Currently, Cindy is our hostess and server, providing outstanding service!

Wanted to go to Palisades but closed until dinner. Great place underneath with patio and equally great views. Service was great and food delicious. We ordered open face crab/artichoke sandwich and cod tacos. Both really good. I would come back again without hesitation.

Local favorite with good indoor and outdoor seating right by the marina. Come here on summer Thursday's to watch the sailboat races.

My last visit was a year or so ago.- which wasn't good - I wrote a poor review . Decided to give them another try. So glad to see so much improvement! Andrea gave us excellent service. Noticed it was super clean . The food was really good. Give them another chance-you won't be disappointed!

This place is table comfort! Casual, waterside, dog friendly and attentive courteous staff (thanks Cindy). Food is consistently good. Some of my favs are breakfast tacos with bacon, blue cheese salad and burger with tater tots.... same Cindy who created this delicious Bloody Mary.

Beautiful views, delicious food, amazing staff! We came here to visit with family from out of town it was the best way to show off our beautiful city. We all had a wonderful time.

My BBQ burger was good, edge of the buns were burn. Tots could be more crispy. Calamari was good, lite batter, I like the sauce. My friend did not like her fish taco, it was too bland. 4 stars is for Amanda, our server, she as very good, patient with big group, there were 14 of us.

Interesting place! Great view! Mediocre food. I tried the fish tacos with cod. It was a good presentation although my only real gripe was they don't warm the tortillas. Tasted like they came straight out of the package. Now I normally never pay attention to details like this but eating a fish taco on a cold tortilla was an interesting experience to say the least. I also tried out their sundae. Not bad, as it's just your typical sundae. When the waitress dropped it off, the cherry fell off the top and she caught it and placed it back on top which was a first for me . I don't think it'll stop me from coming back but I definitely won't order the tacos again.

What a great experience It was a beautiful day. Chantelle was our server and she was the best. I had the crab artichoke sandwich with sweet potatoes fries and it was delicious. The fries were great and served hot. My guest has the shrimp Louie. It was different with 12 huge shrimp, a hard boiled egg, avocado ants assorted lettuces and cherry tomatoes. He loved it but also stole a lot of my fries. The line was long to be seated when we arrived on this sunny day but we were seated in 10 minutes. We were celebrating birthdays and Maggie Bluffs gave us a good one.

I have a boat in the marina and I've been here a lot in the past. In 2022/2023 it was pretty bad, but today I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my fish and chips (crispy, flakey and not greasy) and the service was ON POINT. It's a great place to sit and enjoy the view of Mt Rainier over the sound. If you're taking a cruise and want a place close to the terminal to eat and start (or end) your vacation this can't be beat.

The view is spectacular. The service and food was okay. Met up with a good friend for an early lunch. We sat outside - it was a beautiful sunny and breezy day. I ordered the open face crab artichoke sandwich with tater tots. The sandwich was too greasy but it was tasty. The tots were delicious - you can't go wrong with tots. My friend got the steak salad and she liked it but her steak was not as she asked - she liked it anyway. Good place for the view and meet up with friends.

The signature cocktails are delicious. The service is great and the new menu items are really tasty, definitely worth checking out!

Hospitality in amazing the service is fast and welcoming definitely coming back again great staff and great food

We've been to Maggie Bluffs a handful of times and it was a nice day so we decided to go and sit outside. Nice view that is for sure. Our server was so nice, actually everyone we encountered was very kind. The atmosphere is old school inside and it's great! Let's talk about the food.

I asked if they were serving happy hour and they weren't. They must've ended it. The Moscow mule seemed a little weak. Also they charged a living wage surcharge on top of the bill. Not sure why places do this. Just add a little extra into the food prices so no one knows.

Great food, good service, beautiful view and awesome patio. We ordered burgers - delicious!

Location, location, location. I cycled here as it's just a half mile past the end of the Elliott Bay Trail - completely flat ride from the downtown waterfront. There's plenty of parking too. And their outside patio has a beautiful view of the marina - although I got takeout and sat at one of the many tables at the marina looking at the Space Needle and boats. Food is consistent, American casual waterfront dining - the fries we had were crisp and the club sandwich was on ciabatta with a lot of turkey. Good socially distant pick-up line, everyone wearing masks, place looked freshly cleaned. And for what it's worth - back in The Before Times I've gone for happy hour and have found reasonable prices and quick services.

First time eating here. Friends have recommended this place many times over the years, got a chance to dine in safely last night. Dinner was delicious, service was friendly/professional. Arrived around 7pm and learned they are in winter hours closing at 7:30pm (versus Google listed 8:30pm/website listed 8pm). Recommend calling to check hours in future. C19 vaccination card check in effect, in compliance with local regulations. Dining area was clean with staff actively sanitizing. Turkey club sandwich had moist roasted turkey, sweet potato fries were right amount of savory seasoning to balance sweet crispness, key lime pie had good tang to pucker lips. Clam chowder was of thin consistency variety with hearty clam & bacon bits.

The food is simply awful and has been for years now. If it wasn't for the great setting on the patio during the summer, there would never be a reason to go there. I did have good service from the young lady who was my server. However, it was telling that she never asked how everything was because I'm sure she's gotten an earful in the past and knows the food is not good. Only go here for a drink in the patio. Skip the food.

I find it funny that the response to everyone that complains about this restaurant is a boilerplate reply asking them to send their complaints to the parent company Landry, corporate juggernaut of over 71 restaurants. I'm sure the corporate overseers will wade through all the St. Louis Rainforrest Cafe complaints to address my issue with Maggie Bluffs. You have all of the information in my review. YOU address the issue instead of telling me to pass it up the chain. Now I know why the food sucked.

The only thing this place has going for it is the view on the water. I was there 4 weeks ago and half of the items on the menu were either unavailable or they didn't have a key ingredient to make it. Went again today for redemption and same thing- half the menu unavailable (no breakfast sausage, no sweet potatoes, 2 sandwiches unavailable, no passion fruit tea, and MORE) On top of that- my friend and I ordered tacos and they brought us tacos created in half tortillas instead of the full size taco tortillas because they were running low on tortillas! So they cut them in half. But of course we still got charged full price. The hostesses in general hate life, find someplace else to go.

Thank you for your update. I would appreciate an update on your plan so this unfortunate situation doesn't happen again. The items ordered are standard for your menu. Please refer to my survey I competed for all the details on the service, food and price. $80 plus for the meals, that were less than stellar plus staff attitudes. Seattle is a large city and there are many options where to dine.....

It is what it is great view meh food . Sweet young staff 5 stars to them . Just don't order the Shrimp Louie salad shrimp was completely frozen. Did tell server but they are young so nothing was done about it ( I won't blame them ... maybe management ) .

Another update: after being promised two times that someone would call to discuss my review and feedback, over a month later no one has called. Even with self-imposed commitments, Maggie Bluffs under-performs. #disappointing #not_surprised

What a wonderful lunch on such a gorgeous day at Maggie's Bluffs restaurant. Samantha was our server..friendly and efficient..quick service. Eating on their patio is a must so you can eat lunch while admiring breathtaking views of those gorgeous yachts and sailboats...blue skies above sparkling waters of Elliott Bay. We enjoyed our lunch very much! Great service all together.

What the hell happened to this place? A once bustling neighborhood restaurant is now DEAD. Last Sunday was a GORGEOUS day in Seattle. Maggie Bluffs is a perfect lunch spot with a beautiful view of Puget Sound, Downtown Seattle and Mt. Rainier. The large deck faces South West and gets all the afternoon sun. I was surprised to walk into an empty restaurant and 2 diners sitting outside. The menu was cut down to mostly nothing. I ordered a French Dip which was a huge mistake. I got a French roll with shoe leather topped with cheese and some Au Jus. Gross. The fish tacos my husband had were just as bad. I can't believe the owners of this place would allow it to go down hill like this. It's sad, truly. Please, save yourselves and don't go.

Maggie Bluffs is amazingly situated by Eliot bay Marina with outstanding views of Eliot bay, Seatttle skyline, mt rainier, hundreds of sail boats, west seatttle and Olympic mountains. Ambiance, quality of good, menu options and service are outstanding. Today, Jeffrey took care of my Elysian Space Dust IPA order. Prompt, courteous and friendly service. What a perfect break while strolling along the Eliot bay marina.

Maggie Bluffs is the perfect spot for a chill casual meal. Enjoy the marina view and the wings.

I have been to Maggie Bluffs a few times. It has an outstanding view of Elliot Bay and a nice value option compared to Palisades. Service has usually been very good. There are a lot of options on the menu, but give the location I usually order seafood. This time I ordered the Caesar Salad with salmon along with a red wine. The salmon was really good, blackened just right and a little moist. The salad itself was very good also with a nice dressing. I have also had the burgers here and they were very good also.

The service has been hot / cold at Maggie's Bluff. I believe they might be understaffed. Last night we dined at Maggie's with a pretty large group (7 adults and 1 preteen). The restaurant was not THAT busy since it was about 8:20pm. We just finished a long day of boating and we were almost hangry. We were faced with a new waitress that was being supervised by her trainer. The trainer seemed upset and simply didn't have a pleasant demeanor. Let me add that a very long time ago I was a waitress and it is hard work. I respect what waiters and waitresses do for a living and I recognize that sometimes it is difficult to be cheerful when you are tired. To me it is just but part of the job. "The show must go on because the customer is always watching". We ordered everything we wanted but when all of the meals arrived they actually forgot to place my order or it simply wasn't "fired up". Eventually it arrived and to be honest.. it was delicious. I ordered the Caesar Salad with Steelhead! Not a very big portion but enough to satisfy my hunger. They probably should have offered some form of compensation for the failure to delivery my dinner on time but I'll assume they simply were not thinking. I have eaten at Maggie's several times and I wish that I loved their clam chowder. I don't. To me it has too many herbs and last night my family members made the exact same comment. It might be their signature item but after a long day of boating this is just not the chowder I want. My husband ordered the open faced crab sandwich and it was a little surprising to see the minuscule amount of crab that was on the sandwich. The toast was burned black. The topping didn't even cover the entire sandwich. If something is "86'd it should be 86'd". This restaurant is located on puget sound and there is no shortage of seafood in this area. I understand the goal of increasing margins and cutting costs but for a sandwich that is almost $20 it is a little insulting to provide such a small portion of crab with mostly artichoke on the sandwich. My sister in law ordered the street tacos and although pricey she was very happy with the flavor, the presentation and the amount of food. I am reluctant to give Maggie's 4 stars but because of the excellent steelhead Salad and also due to the service I was provided on a previous visit (waitress was amazing and her family owns a tire business) I am choosing to give 4 stars. I will continue to update my rating based on future visits. We are a bit of a captured audience as we keep our boat in the marina out front.

Great little hidden gem!!!! Great breakfast and lunch. Great views clean good service

I've never written a 1 star review until now but this place 'earned' it. The sign inside the door stated, 'Please wait to be seated', so we waited. A waitress walked past and stood with her back to us, muttering over her shoulder as she tapped on a screen, "It'll be a 25 minute wait". I noted there were only five or six tables seated outside, the rest empty. Her poor reception and annoyed attitude should have been the only indicator needed to realize this establishment is not worthy of my time or money. With her back still to us, I looked at my partner who shook his head so we turned and walked out. The door hadn't completely shut all the way before a waiter rushed out to say he could seat us now. ... Second chance? Maybe the waitress was having a bad day? With hesitancy and doubt, we shrugged it off, took the bait and followed our waiter past the dog tied to a post on a long leash at the patio entrance. The waiter seated us at a table on the inside perimeter of the roped-off patio. We scanned the sparse menu and ordered hot tea, a cup of clam chowder and a basket of tots to warm up a little while we chatted. Our waiter brought the tea, but left us sitting 40 minutes without checking back even once. The sun had dipped behind the rooftop, and none of the patio heaters were on. All other tables had been served, left or were leaving. Our waiter didn't make eye contact so I got up went inside to ask for our order 'to-go'. However, I discovered both cooks standing in the kitchen chatting, nothing was on the grill and no food was ready to go out. Our order wasn't entered. Our waiter walked up and stood next to me, said nothing and started tapping a screen. "Excuse me. I'd like to cancel our ord..." but before I could finish he turned, smirked and said, "Okay!" I politely asked how much for the tea and he smirked back, "I won't charge for the tea when you just canceled your order" ... I'm not exaggerating when I say this place is a dump and the wait-staff employees exhibit the same dumpy attitude. I can't stress enough to spend your time and hard earned money elsewhere.

Wow, 3 times this week I went to Maggies for dinner around 5 PM. The place was maybe 20% full inside and 75% full outside. I was told each time that there would be a 25-30 minute wait. Of course, I inquired as to why with so many empty tables do I have to wait that long to be seated...the hostess replies "because that's how long the wait is". I would have had a few drinks waiting and dropped a couple hundred bucks on dinner with a 30% tip. Probably not a bad deal for the server and Landry's for a quick meal! Rather than seat me and make some quick money, they turned me away when there was plenty of room...what are they thinking??? I live on my boat in the marina for most of the Summer and this has been my experience 3X this week. Most of us boaters and marina tenants have a few disposable bucks in our wallets and now I'll take them elsewhere...lot's of good restaurants in Seattle, Maggies mediocre service won't be one of them anymore. Customer service isn't that hard, servers might like some big tips from us "yachties". Tell me why I should come back???

Fish was undercooked, chowder was ok though. You're better off going to Palisades or basically anywhere else.

Eh, it's ok. Food is a 3/10, setting 8/10 and service is 5/10. Hard part is getting an outdoor table, wait is always 45 minutes plus. Recommend more for outdoor happy hour or a brunch spot.

I know restaurants are doing their best during covid. That's why when they didn't answer their phone for our take out order, we walked there. That's why we patiently waited 30 minutes before we were greeted. We felt so bad that they were understaffed, we took our take out food and tipped $30 on a $70 tab. But shouldn't the food be good? The chopped salad is quite sad. Saturday night: 3/13. Michelle Bailey. Michelle@baileyandbailey.com. 206-409-3962

Ordered a burger well done after 30 minutes it came to the table bleeding on the plate. Sent it back and they put it on the grill where I had cut it in half when I took a bite it was raw on the inside. I will never go back. Food portions are very small, and your asked how you would like your meat cooked but it does not matter. I'm out

Decent restaurant right on the marina at Elliot Bay. Restaurant looks pretty outdated, but the place has been around since 1992. I had the blackened coho caesar salad which was actually really good. The salmon tasted fresh and flavorful and portion size was generous. Came here with a party of 7 people for lunch as we were cruising around the sound. This marina is one of my favorite places to dock at because it's just so pretty and has a great view of downtown Seattle.
