Maggie's Cafe

Was wanting something different than the standard chain breakfast spots in San Diego and this place hit the nail on the head. First time here and was not disappointed.
Service was great all around from the hostess, to the waiters, bussers, all around.
And there was no wait! Overall, the place has a really welcoming vibe which is something I haven’t encountered and appreciated.
Plenty of space inside as well.
Really diverse menu; looking forward to returning and trying more of their items.
Alcohol menu is solid, from bloody Mary’s to mimosa flights to micheladas even.
Had the chicken fried steak and it was definitely one of the better ones I’ve had in San Diego.
Look forward to returning and bringing more people with me to have a taste of this hidden gem!

Excellent food, service and spot! Had the machaca breakfast and it was perfect.
Also ordered at the table was the s'mores French toast which was incredible! Definitely recommend this place!

If this review shows as edited, that's because I accidentally clicked the post button before getting to writing down the ACTUAL review I had intended to do, a mistake on my part. We sat down for breakfast at about 10:00 AM today, and we were seated promptly, our waiter was a really friendly bald man whose name I forgot to ask.
He was really attentive and came to check on us regularly, I also saw him checking up on other patrons. We ordered two cups of coffee and an order of the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs, one over medium, one over easy.
The coffee was some of the best we've ever had at a restaurant.
The chicken fried steak and home fried potatoes were nice and crispy the sausage gravy was delicious, and the potatoes came fried with red and green bell pepper and onion.
The potatoes were crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside, incredibly flavorful.
The eggs were cooked exactly as we wanted it. The staff was wonderful, everyone we interacted with was friendly, and they really paid attention to the customers.
This place is pretty high up on my list of favorite places to eat in San Diego. We are DEFINITELY coming back to eat here again! It's nice to have a restaurant of this quality in my neighborhood and that is easy to walk to as there isn't many sit down restaurants in the area.
I regret not coming to eat here sooner!
