Humor + good food = fun times This small little breakfast/lunch diner on Sand Key comes across as a hole in the wall when you first enter with just a handful of booths, a bar/counter with stools and an "add yourself to the waiting list" low-brow vibe. But while waiting for a table and browsing the hilarious odds and ends posted on the walls in the extremely small entrance area, you realize its one of those places where people probably love to work. A sample: "Maggie's Rules: "#1 Be patient. This is Florida. We don't get in too much of a hurry over anything! "#2 If you are mean and grouchy, Maggie collects a $10 cover charge! Please identify yourself. "#5 (We forgot what 3 & 4 are) Un-attended children will be given an espresso and a FREE puppy." The hand-drawn picture hanging on the wall by the front, left by a little English girl tourist of her meal of silver dollar pancakes, orange juice, and "a green thing" with an arrow pointing to what was most likely a parsley garnish made me smile when she declared that Maggie Mae's had the "Best food in the world!" The food was simple, cooked well and down-home tasty. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuits and gravy -- comfort food. I was so comforted! Thanks Maggie Mae's.

Average at best. Service wasn't great, food was just alright and I think it's kind of hard to mess up breakfast. My husband can devour an omelet in 2.2 seconds and couldn't even finish this one, it was dry and tasteless. It was cheap, so that was a plus but definitely woudn't go back.

I think if you walk into Maggie maes thinking Denny's or Ihop you will leave very happy with what you get. The environment is modest and comfortable, they have a nice patio overlooking the bay. The food is more or less standard diner fare, but it is superior to what you will find at any chain restaurant and it is priced very reasonably. The service was friendly and the food came out fast. Overall I would certainly return to try some of their other options.

the food was very good but the service was not great. it took a very long time to get seated but once we did our breakfast experience ended on a great note. sitting outside was well worth it and the view of the water and the dolphins was a beautiful morning.

We found this place one morning when we were hunting for a delicious breakfast. The Hillbilly Taters and Maggie's Mess are both amazing! We try to get over there once a month

Went to Maggie Mae's on a Sunday morning. The food is cheap, but there's plenty of it. I had eggs, toast, and home fries for about $6. A perfect start before a day at the beach or after a night of being out.

Very small diner, but very good and inexpensive. The service is pretty good and the food quite good. Portions are what I would consider "normal", not Frog Pond sized. The prices are also normal for breakfast. I wouldn't go in here on a busy morning because the wait might be considerable, but if you can get in without a huge wait, it is worth it.

I give it four stars because the place is clean. We tried the new location on West Bay, Very nice. Service was good and the floors and tables were very clean. The food was what I would expect for breakfast. No grits on the menu though. The new location only just opened. For the most part the only giveaway that the place is new is just how clean it is. Another good thing is the food was cooked perfectly. I like my eggs cooked over easy and my husband likes his cooked hard. Most places tend to get this simple order wrong with my egg whites under cooked and his yellows under cooked. This was Not an issue at Maggie's. His eggs were perfect and mine were as well. We will be going back again soon.

Nice little breakfast, lunch, "blunch" place on the Clearwater Bay waterfront in Sand Key. The Eggs Benedict Arnold -- biscuits and sausage gravy with fried eggs and cheese -- and the french toast are both very good.

Maggie Mae's was a Yelp review chance I took while vacationing on the Treasure Coast. It was a perfect greasy spoon diner right on the water (inter-coastal). I understood from earlier reviews that the patio only had three tables, so chances are you will have to eat inside. I however, was able to get out in the sun and enjoy breakfast el fresco. The Eggs Benedict Arnold was my order of the day. I actually only got a half portion, which was a great value for this massive biscuit topped off with egg, cheese, sausage and lump sausage gravy. Also got some bacon on the side, twas crispy just as I prefer and the excess gravy-moat surrounding the entree was ample enough for toast sopping. I was eating pretty early in the morning, during the summer and it was packed. Luckily a local mentioned that I make sure to sign in. As soon as I noted my outside preference I was seated post haste. Friendly and attentive servers, big delish portions at a reasonable price. Really, when it comes to breakfast, there's not a whole lot more you need.

Best biscuits and gravy around. Never thought to put the eggs, meat on the biscuits with the gravy over it before but OMG it was good. We try to get here anytime we are in the area.

Great breakfast place near Belleaire Beach, in fact, the ONLY breakfast place we found. And it was good. No surprises, nothing fancy, just good, honest food. Prices are reasonable. Service was good. We got there early and sat out back on the patio overlooking the bay. Very nice except that the patio was filthy down in front of Dunkin Donuts.

This is a great restaurant for breakfast! It is conveniently located in a plaza with other shops and has outdoor and indoor seating on the pier. The service is great...quick and friendly. I ordered a vegetarian omelet (mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, green peppers) with toast which was only $4.75! The prices are very affordable and their menu is extensive with a wide variety of options...pretty much anything you would want on a breakfast menu. They were also very accommodating and catered to my dietary restrictions. The portions were huge and my eggs were very tasty with very fresh ingredients. Great option for breakfast, brunch, and lunch!

We went there for breakfast about 10am on a Tuesday during the last week of May and we were lucky enough to walk right in and get the last open table outside. There are only 3 outdoor tables so I can see why it is challenging for others. The food was fine but the atmosphere was so calming in the morning that I would go there for that alone. In fact the two tables next to us were whispering, which I ignored and talked at a regular tone, but it was that relaxing that they felt the need to whisper. I had the BLT which said it was on Texas Toast. My interpretation of Texas Toast was the thick garlic bread, but this was just thick toast. It would have been awesome if there was garlic on it but without it was good. My husband had the farmer's platter which was great for the most part. Loved the biscuit and gravy and bacon. The potatoes were pretty bland and either needed to be cooked a little longer to be crispier or add seasoning for flavor. Our server Dana was super sweet and made it a pleasant visit for first thing in the morning. Just watch out for the birds. As soon as people get up and walk away they scoop in and pick up food, jam or sugar packets. It's actually entertaining.

Very cute place. Good food. I'm a bacon girl but the sausage was better! Pancakes were tasty. The view is really nice but not many tables outside or in for that matter...that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I had to sit at the bar. The place is tiny.

Scott B.
I actually give it 3.5 The place was very crowded at 10:45 AM on a Tuesday (I don't fault the for being popular) but it was disappointing to show up to a place advertising outdoor seating and waterfront views only to find out that there are only a few outside tables. It took us about 30 minutes to get a seat inside, would have probably been 90 for outdoor. The food is inexpensive and there is a big selection, but it also tastes like food that is inexpensive and comes with a big selection. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. Also, the waitress filled out decaf with regular, which is not a big deal and was fixed when requested

Andrew W.
Great food, great prices. Solid breakfast food--not the froufrou stuff. Eggs Benedict Arnold--sausage gravy instead of holandaise sauce--is really good (half order is plenty) as is the Corned Beef Hash. No problem sitting outside both days we ate there. If there's much breeze, the umbrellas have to stay closed, so bring your sunglasses.

Great place for breakfast, especially if you are staying at the Marriot right next door, all you have to do is walk down the board walk that is connected to the pool area. Most of their servings are huge, but you can find lighter fare as well. I'm not a huge breakfast person but I was very impressed with Maggie Mae's.

Nancy H.
Return visit to Maggie Mae's was on a weekend morning, busy as heck but service was snappy, pleasant, and not at all rushed. The table next to us heard the moans of delight from my dining companion over his corned beef hash, and the fellow ordered a side order (huge) to try it himself. He completed his own large entree plus his "side" of CB hash, and both his fellow diner and I had a very tough time negotiating for a small bite. Great visit!

I happened upon this seemingly "mom & pop" place while vacationing. Our first impression of the cafe was when one of the waitresses, amidst what sounded like a personal call, told us "Sit over there" and pointed to a booth. While we were in the restaurant the staff seemed more interested in cracking jokes with each other than in serving the guests. My visit coincided with the 2014 World Cup and this seemed to be a main topic of the staff's conversation. I figured this out because they were all hanging around the bar area practicing their German accents I can only guess in support of the German team. The Germans ended up winning, so maybe this little exchange with the waitresses at Maggie Mae's proved to be good luck for Germany. While the Germans were well served with this staffs support, I was under served at best. The waitress got my order wrong-I ordered their BELT sandwich which sounded great to me. It was a take on the classic BLT but the "E" meant I could expect an egg on my sandwich as well. The waitress asked how I liked my egg and I asked for it a little runny. My sandwich showed up only being a BLT and instead of bringing it up and having to wait for the correction I decided to eat my BLT minus the "E". The waitress never came back to check on us, or refill our drinks. When presented with the bill I asked her if the BELT sandwich cost more than the BLT, and if so she needed to adjust my bill because there was no egg on my sandwich. Instead of apologizing like I expected she would, she took back the bill and said she would check. To her credit, she did change my tab by taking $1 off but she never apologized for her mistake. I was underwhelmed with my experience at Maggie Mae's. The staff was not rude, but was not helpful, and was more interested in bonding with their coworkers than in serving the customers.

Absolutely LOVE this adorable breakfast and lunch spot. Was here for a week with my family and we ate breakfast at Maggie's 5 out of the 7 days. The Tijuana omlette is my favorite. Loaded with peppers, onions, jalapeños, black beans, and jack cheese. Totally different than anything you can get anywhere else. Fresh squeezed OJ always is a major plus. The service is fast and friendly. We had Laura and Taylor who started our days off on the right foot. Take it from me, Maggie's is THE spot for breakfast on Clearwater Beach.

This place wins top breakfast in my opinion! I went with my family yesterday morning. We thought the people waiting outside meant we were in for a long wait but it turned out to be nothing too bad. I went in the shop next door to poke around and when I got back to the group, we were called in. To start, the coffee was delicious! They even give you a to go cup if you want! (included in the price of the bottomless cup). That alone won my heart over. But the food! OMG! We all had the Eggs Benedict Arnold. MMMM MMM Good! I think we will back for more! We all loved this place.

We went just as the switch from breakfast to lunch occurred so we were glad for the "blunch" menu. It wasn't busy, so we were surprised that they were slow to bus the tables. Several guests wanted the booth by the window as the outside tables were full. Most of the breakfast items were pretty standard fare. I had the "Make Your Own" omelette. It was well prepared, but nothing extraordinary. The corned beef hash was tasty, but not extraordinary. However, the Hillbilly Taters were great! Lots of flavor and even a bit of a kick if you add the jalapeños, which I highly recommend. The gravy was perfect with a little extra pepper. Seems a Southerner might have inspired this dish! It just wasn't quite worth the drive from the other side of Tampa. The search for the best Tampa area breakfast continues.

The biggest problem here is deciding what to order for breakfast. Everything we have eaten has been excellent. I highly recommend the Eggs Benedict. My wife prefers their Benedict with corned beef., but we both agree the hollandaise is good stuff. Try a half order of each for a nice treat. Their pancakes are decent, but don't match up to other selections on the menu. The grits are nice and creamy, perfect with melted cheese on top. We prefer a seat in the back facing the beautiful water view, I'm sure you will too.
We've visited Maggie Mae's a few times while staying at the Marriott on Sand Key for spring break. Burgers and omelets are excellent. The only reason I bumped them down to four stars is because their grilled chicken sandwich was not very good... A generous portion of chicken, but it was bland, dry & very overcooked. Maybe that was just an unfortunate anomaly, because the eggs, burgers and variety of breads for toast are great, and service is excellent too. Definitely worth a visit - a great choice for brunch!

Small, cute, quick and yummy. That's all I need for a breakfast stop. Got there about 11 and wasn't crowded but everyone was super friendly. Ordered the club sandwich WITH the cranberry mayo which I admit I wasn't sure if that was the right choice but it was actually delicious. Definitely stop in for a quick bite.

You write your own name on a list and check where you would like to sit. We checked outside. We had 5 people sit ahead of us so I asked one of the waitress's how long it would be and she I don't know how long people are going to be sitting outside! Well that should have been out first indication of what service we were going to receive. Unfortunately our waitress was the same person who was rude at the door. Her name was Laura. Three different groups sat down after us and got their food way before us. When we finally received our food it was all cold. She did not come back ONE time to ask us if we wanted anything! We asked her for our check and she went back into the kitchen and started scraping plates and clearing other tables. Had to ask another waitress for our check who immediately got it for us. Very disappointed. This was our last day in Sand Key. We were looking forward to a nice breakfast to start the day. I gave them 2 stars because if the food would have been warm it would have been good. The breakfast casserole is recommended. Should have went with our first choice of the Wildflower Cafe.

Just went to MM's for the first time today for lunch. - Don't miss this quiet, charming and AFFORDABLE restaurant! MM's feature's a well-rounded menu and our food was served with professional courtesy on a timely basis, considering everything seems to be made "from start". - Hey, no loud TV or music! - What a plus! - Just quiet dining, conversation (you remember conversation?) and delicious food. We plan to go back for breakfast. - Finally, I want to note that my husband's club sandwich was "the best I ever had", and my steak sandwich featured a generous whole steak that was tender and flavorful. Thanks MM's! - The SSI area is increasingly expensive and frankly, not always with the best food for the price. - We'll be back and recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Nice place. Waited 20 minutes for a table for 7, not bad. Had the Big Burrito, sausage, black beans, onion, cheese and jalapeños. Had a bite or two of the Tuna Melt. Both were good. Kids enjoyed the burgers and chicken wings. No complaints. Will go back for the Bananas Foster French Toast.

Just great "home cooking". Nothing fancy, pretentious, or over hyped - just great food. I can definitely recommend the BELT, a new twist on the BLT that adds egg. They are now open for dinner until 8 pm.

Came here on a recent visit to the Tampa Bay area. We figured we would give it a try since it got some decent reviews on Yelp. My companion ordered the "Mess" and the waitress informed us that it was delicious, and that most of the staff order that when they are working there. I stuck with an omelet which was good too. Prices can't be beat for breakfast in Clearwater. Would have liked to sit outside, but it was a rainy day, but sitting inside was fine. The place had a warm homey feel to it. Now that we are back home, when I ask my companion what he wants to do for breakfast, he says he wants a Maggie Mae's "MESS"....so I suppose a trip back to the Tampa Bay area is in order.

Sandy A.
The food was fine. No off the charts kind of a special menu. Just basic breakfast food. The fruit salad had canned pineapple, not fresh and the mushrooms in my "mess" were canned. I love visiting in the area, but would rather get a banana and a yogurt at the grocery store.

My boyfriend and stayed over here for Memorial Day weekend and went to sit down for breakfast. Unfortunately the hotel had stopped serving (oh, okay we didn't make it out of our room until noon!), but Maggie Mae's was the suggested dine in for breakfast. We accepted this suggestion. It was a cute little joint, neat pictures on the wall, good menu with a lot of options to choose from. We went for one breakfast item and one lunch. We liked them both a lot. The service faltered a little so I knocked them down a touch, but other than that I wouldn't be opposed to dining here again should I be in the area.

hostess was rude &seemed unhappy w/her life &job. I signed me &my bf in &requested for OUTDOOR seating. When called to our table, she brought us to a booth INSIDE. I let it go, since I guess it was too difficult to differentiate between reading OUTSIDE vs. INSIDE. Our waitress was pretty nice to compensate &the prices were cheap. Food was ok, nothing spectacular

Great breakfast. One big key was the potatoes that were not over seasoned so they tasted like potatoes. Had a bit of a line when we arrived and signed the sign in sheet but we got a table in about 20 minutes. I had the Eggs Benedict Arnold which was amazing. Good sausage gravy and eggs were cooked perfect. My wife had the veggie omelet and loved the fact that the potatoes were not over seasoned. Only thing we need to remember when we go back is that not all omelets have cheese so we'll add that and not all breakfasts come with potatoes so I'll add those. All in all we'll be trying their other location that may have fewer tourists and more locals. A new go to place for breakfast.

We read some of the reviews and they peaked our interest to try Maggie Mae's. We were looking for a great tasting breakfast that wasn't like the average 'cookie cutter' breakfast place or average quality hotel breakfast buffet. Maggie Mae's is definitely a 'hole in the wall' type place as many people have described it. I've found that those are typically the best type of place to eat, especially for breakfast. When it comes to the food, we enjoyed it. We had a breakfast burrito, corned beef hash and eggs and a few slices of toasted almond French toast. I am a big fan of all three of these breakfasts usually. The French toast was good, not great, but good. They were light and not ovecooked as I have had before from other places. I felt there could have been more flavor in the batter, maybe more cinnamon or something like that. Although the taste of the almonds were good, it just seemed like something that was just thrown in at the end instead if incorporating it mote into the flavor of the batter. Not necessarily a let down but could have been a little bit better. With that being said, the rest of our breakfast was really good. I enjoyed the breakfast burrito. It had eggs, cheese, sausage and black beans with jalapeño and salsa on the side. Now, let's talk about the corned beef hash. It is one of the best we have ever had! This is not your mama's canned corned beef hash. (although I do enjoy that as well) This corned beef has real chunks of corned beef that were cooked very well. This is the type if corned beef hash that you would have after making home made corned beef the night before. It was tender and able to be pulled apart with your fork. That added with the onions and home fry size pieces of potato that really made this corned beef hash memorable. We like it a little on the well done side which really added to the flavor and texture. We would definitely recommend this to anyone! All in all, our experience went very well. We sat outside on the boardwalk at a table with an umbrella. The view was great, the good was very tasty and we enjoyed ourselves. Check it out for yourself!

Good food. Very busy, seems like mostly tourist due to being so close to the beaches and hotels. Being a resident here I don't see me going back. The wait was forever and the service slow due to the large amount of business. The prices are reasonable for the location. In summary, if you live in Pinellas find a different place, if you're staying at a hotel on Clearwater Bch and don't want to go far for food this place is worth a visit.

Excellent breakfast and excellent service. We were staying at the Marriott next door, but would come here even if we lived far. Its a small place with great food, very reasonably priced and the staff was happy to chat if you asked them a question. We had 2 strawberry waffles, and scrambled eggs with house potatoes mixed in, based on our server's recommendation! The fresh whipping cream was delicious on the waffles. The menu or the decor had a funny comment about not being in a rush - along the lines of - this is Florida and one needs to take it slow. We took their advice!

Based on the reviews, I was hoping for a quirky little place with pretty good food and friendly service. I was looking forward to it. After all, breakfast is my favorite meal and I have eaten in, and loved, many little breakfast places. Sadly, I did not love this one. The food is not particularly good. I have eggs bennies all the time and am not really that hard to please, but these disappointed. Tough back bacon, overdone english muffins, the disconcerting perfect roundness of eggs poached in that certain pan, hollandaise sauce that was not present in sufficient amounts to taste, poor coffee, and nasty not fresh orange juice (in Florida no less) were too much bad to be redeemed by the pretty good potatoes. Add in service that was neither friendly nor particularly good and you have an experience that I will not be repeating.

The food is cheap, but the breakfast was yummy! the bacon is extremly salty beware. LOL...there is an odd sign up sheet that you have to sign in on when you first enter befor they seat you. The hostes/ waitress not friendly at all. not rude either, just gruff, as if she doesnt enjoy her job and she's pissed that she had to get up that morning. Its a cute small little place. would i go back ? yes....but only if the service got better and wasnt treated as if just another dollar going into their register.

Excellent choice for breakfast. My friend and I were headed to the beach and stopped here for breakfast...and glad we did. No wait and we sat outside (the birds weren't too bad until we finished eating). The food was great and the portion sizes were big. We both ordered the mama's breakfast which was eggs, bacon, toast and grits or potatoes and it was all yummy! I like my bacon very crispy, and was impressed that they cooked it perfectly to my liking. Then we ordered the bananas Foster french toast to share and sure glad we did, it was delicious and a great way to top off breakfast. Highly recommended if your in the area and want a good breakfast.

The wait is worth it! You can call ahead when you're 15 min away and they'll get you on the list! Went for my birthday on Labor Day weekend and loved their bananas foster French toast! My husband ordered the country fried steak and enjoyed it as well! Will be back!

We decided to head a bit further away from the walkable breakfast places and found Maggie Mae's in a strip mall (which at first was disconcerting b/c the pics showed waterfront views). As we enter, we are met with a packed diner-like set up with people waiting to be seated and a sign saying "sign up on clipboard". We are immediately greeted by a sassy (not in a nasty way but in a entertaining way) waiter who told us it wouldn't be too long to get a seat. I inquired about sitting outside and he replied "sure you can but it's really hot out there. go take a look and see if you can stand it). And i checked and it seemed ok, so we sat outside under 1 of the 4 umbrella'd tables on a porch overlooking the bay. Beautiful blue water, with people on wave runners sealed our choice. We were quickly greeted by our server, brought ice coffee and juice and questions were answered about the menu. Quickly, a server came out and greeted us, giving us menus and taking our drink orders. While she was gone a slew of little sparrows came around to check out what they could hustle away from the table next to us. very cute. we sampled pancakes, home fries (TASTY), eggs, and crispy perfectly cooked bacon. there were no complaints between us. although, at some point the sun became to persecute us especially once we started eating all the good food! if we are back around, we will def. be stopping back by. This cafe was the best at all around breakfast of all the places we went to in clearwater beach.

I wouldn't waste my time going here. We were so excited to try this place while on vacation because of the reviews/ outside seating with a view. Unfortunately they weren't seating people on the back deck because a storm was coming (understandable) ... When we walked in we were greeted by a guy with a poor attitude (at first I said he had zero personality but I then decided wait he did have personality it was just poor) .... Okay so we eventually get seated and looking around and there were a lot of cool features... Like maps with pins of where people come from and eat there ... There were four of us 1 of the 4 likes their food. Which was an omelet with potatoes... The items that wasn't liked was the biscuit and gravy, waffle (it was a weird born color and texture and flavor were nasty). Our waitress had zero personality as well. When she was pre bussing our table a knife fell off a plate and landed on my fiances shirt (would have be okay, mistakes happen ... I've been a server before) but she blamed it on him .. Got syrup all over his shirt .... There were people waiting for a table and they came in to check and he said, "I already called you guys it was for the bar area" and they said, "okay that's fine we will take it" and he said, "oh I already gave it away" ... Them "we were waiting out back" ... Him "I don't yell out back only out front" ..... You would think they would tell you from the get go I mean out back is where the view is... Idk seemed really rude and we all just got a horrible vibe from this place... Would never go back.

Visited here for breakfast before a trip to Busch gardens. It's a bit of a spin beyond Busch gardens from Orlando but it's worth it!!! Lovely atmosphere, pleasant staff, endless coffee and good food. I had the French toast with bacon. It was fab. One more thing, the view of the bay from the back door is beautiful!

What an adorable place! I was in town on vacation and came across Maggie Mae's when looking for somewhere to eat in the area for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised by the cheap prices - you get so much food! I ordered a larger breakfast with eggs, home-fries, pancakes, bacon, sausage and a coffee - my bill was under $10 and I left stuffed! It's a cute little Southern dinner filled with locals and people on vacation. We sat outside and enjoyed the view of the water. It was such a relaxing way to start the morning. My only concern was the aggressive (to say the least) birds that I kept having to shoo away from eating my breakfast. I honestly have never had so many birds fly to my table in my life. Hey, I guess the food is that good even the birds want some!

Came in this morning for breakfast because my husband still remembers their delicious corned beef hash a few years ago. Our wait was a little longer than most (~30 min) because we requested a boardwalk table. We weren't in a hurry so this wasn't an issue for us. We were seated at a table that had not been cleared. It only took them a couple of minutes to clear it and get our drink order. We didn't see the waitress again for at least 10-15 min. At that time we put in our orders amd it took a good 20 min to get our food. At least we had a snack before coming in. My husband was mostly happy with his corned beef hash - as they serve the real thing and not something from a can. I ordered the whole wheat pancakes and was not impressed. They were dry and had a lot of grainy chunks (I'm used to the grains being finely ground - maybe that is just my preference). The view is beautiful from their deck but the umbrellas barely provide any shade - just FYI. I don't think I would go out of my way to come here again but it was fine if I happen to be in the area.

Very yummy breakfast. Cute place..like a diner. Eggs Benedict with corned beef and french toast bananas foster are a must to try. Good service, reasonable prices. . Will definitely come back.

Came in here after our red-eye flight. We were so grateful they were open already. We ordered their eggs benedict style Arnold , banana's foster French toast, chocolate chip pancake, eggs, and bacon and hot chocolates. The hot chocolate just hit the spot for me. I finished it almost immediately. The food was delish!!!! I shared the eggs benedict and French toast with my hubby. They were both bomb. It was just the right portion for us to share too. I was hoping we could go back there again for breakfast but time was not kind to us. We will definitely come back here when we are in the area.

Great place to grab some food. Their eggs Benedict Arnold is great and very filling. The wait was about 15 min on a Tuesday morning so not bad. If you sit on the porch do so before 10am as it heats up a lot outside. Lastly while we waited to be seated they brought us coffee. The place doesn't look like much but the service and food will definitely make up for the small restaurant. Also conveniently located.

Nice little hole in the wall joint. Food is good, prices are moderate, ambiance is chill. Came here for Sunday brunch with a friend and the wait wasnt as long as I expected, the food came out pretty fast too. I had the veggie scrambler, belgian waffle with strawberries and whip cream (had to!), coffee, and small OJ. Nice spot. If im ever in the area, I'd hit it up again.

Best breakfast in town! We had the corned beef hash (highly recommend) and it was the BEST I've ever had!! The bananas foster pancakes were decadent and delicious. Everything we ordered far exceeded our expectations. If you're in the area, you definitely should stop by and try Maggie Mae's. Also, prices were great and portion sizes were filling.

Going 4 stars here because of the lackluster service, but I wouldn't have hesitated going to 5 stars with better service. This is a great little find. Perfect location, too, in that on the north end of Sand Key, it can also get people from the south of Clearwater Beach - if they aren't too lazy to walk across the bridge. It's right on the water - I think the intercoastal, but I'm not sure - and if you're lucky enough to get a seat on their back patio, then you have a beautiful view for breakfast. We got there kind of late, and while they were on a wait, there were only a couple of tables ahead of us. Therefore, we decided to wait for an outside table. Took about 30 minutes, but worth the wait for the view. Just a bit unfortunate that they only have a few outdoor tables when all that is next to them is a clothing store that has no need for the outside deck. Anyway, they have a pretty big menu. Strangely, you can't get pancakes after noon, and frankly, that makes no sense at all. I can't imagine under what scenario you have to stop using your griddle for pancakes. They don't make a mess, they are easy to clean up after...I just don't get it, but I guess I don't have to since I wasn't ordering pancakes. I got their Hillbilly Taters, which was essentially everything thrown into an omelet. Onions, eggs, bacon, sausage, jalepeno with sausage gravy and a biscuit. Really good. Girlfriend liked hers, too - a tijuana omelet. Picture a breakfast burrito but as an omelet, not a burrito. My only food disappointment was that when I looked at the menu, I looked at their Belleair Bluffs menu, which is slightly different and had a pork hash I wanted to dive into, but alas, the Clearwater/Sand Key location didn't have it on their menu. The biggest issue was the service. The server was pleasant, but she disappeared for ling stretches of time. I will grant her that we clearly were not in a rush, but we may have seen her walk by every 10-15 minute, which isn't often enough to walk through your section. My girlfriend wanted coffee, I needed more water, and we needed the check and then needed to pay. Eventually, I just got up and went inside to pay because we just got tired of waiting. So minus one star for lousy service, but I'll still be back (actually, I'll probably go to the other location to go swimming in some carnitas hash).

Let's start with the food: average to below average at best it seem like most things were either frozen freeze-dried or came out of a can. We sat on the deck which I usually like to do when I'm in Florida, not a great idea here though. Most places have string or wire to keep the seagulls and other birds away, this place did not have that. The service was not very quick or complementary, it seemed as if the put people cleaning up were not that motivated. Overall, just not a very good morning experience.

If you come here, get the Reuben. Absolutely the best Reuben I've ever had. I order Reuben's a lot as it is one of my favorite sandwiches, and I've never had a Reuben this amazing. The breakfast is good too, tastes very fresh and home made. I wouldn't recommend coming here In a large group though; the restaurant is mainly booths. The wait is always long on weekends too. It's worth it though! Get the Reuben!!!!

There are a lot of crappy breakfast places that litter this stretch of sand and thankfully this one is not one of them. One of the best breakfast restaurants near Clearwater/St Pete Beach and one of the few I know with a gorgeous water view. We came for brunch at 2pm (yes 14:00) and still had to wait 30 mins for a table (oh yes). That should give you some indication how popular this place is and for good reason: the food is great and if you are one of the lucky few who can get a table outside under the shady tiki umbrella with a gorgeous upfront water view then you will be in paradise. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was not greasy or too dry. It had a sufficient about of black beans and cheese and salsa. The home fries could use a little improvement; they are a little bland for me, still better than a lot of places. My boyfriend ordered the hash and he loved his meal as well. The inside is super small. It's no wonder they are always on a wait. They need to buy out the space next door or put more tables outside. The inside looks like a quant country kitchen. It has some personality to it but outside is where you (and everyone else) wants to be. The problem besides the wait is the service. Because these waitresses have either had it by 2pm or are just overwhelmed by the volume, you don't get good service. We were not in a hurry that day but it would have been nice to have our waters and coffees refilled more than once.

Pretty good breakfast/lunch spot. Service was friendly, quick, and efficient. Large servings. I ordered the breakfast BELT which is a typical BLT with an egg. Served on sourdough bread with chips. Soooo good. The bacon was perfectly cooked. My husband ordered a typical pancakes with fried eggs, bacon and sausage platter. He said it was good, just average. I would definitely come back again if in the area. The views outback are very nice.

Usually we go to Maggie Maes on the bluffs but since we were headed to thr beach anyways we decided to stop by this location and try it out. When we got there we wrote our name on thr list .. strange that no one was taking names but the system still seemed to work. We were seated in about 15 minutes which is pretty good since we didn't call ahead. They seemed to be pretty short on staff but the service was still decent. We didn't get there till about 12 so I decided to try lunch instead and I ordered the chicken tenders and fries and they were amazing like so so good the batter was perfect. I got buffalo sauce for dipping and it was seriously the best buffalo sauce ever. Brandon had the hill Billy tators as usual and he was impressed that the taste and quality was exactly the same as the other location. They did how ever run out of sweet tea!

This is our weekend breakfast spot! I always sweet talk my husband into getting breakfast to go and its just as good as when you are there! Best biscuits and gravy, french toast comes with sliced almonds, and the hashbrown casserole is delicious. Very filling, satisfying, and flavorful. This place will stay our number one breakfast spot for a reason.

"Had the Hillbilly Taters, made sure to add the jalapeño's, gives it a nice kick. The gravy was excellent and the biscuits soft. This was a solid 3.75. My wife had the corn beef hash, the real deal not out of a can. She would have liked it more if the corn beef portion was larger. I'm sure the staff would be happy to accommodate upon request. Would definitely come back and recommend.

Jaramie B.
Awesome good and awesome prices! I'll be back there several times to visit and eat! The back porch had a beautiful Bay view.

This place rocks! Hillbilly Tators are just the thing you need to indulge while on vacation proactively wrecking your hard worked on beach bod. We came here twice and loved it. There is a wait at times and the place has a small diner feel to it with a deck overlooking the water on the back. It is definitely worth the wait and a great meal, just make sure you bring a comfy swim suit for the rest of the day or trip :)

Nothing special. Came for brunch and got the big combo which included two eggs, two bacon, two pancakes and home fries. The eggs and bacon were fine but nothing out of the ordinary. The home fries were extremely bland; no amount of salt, pepper or ketchup could make them any better. The pancakes were alright but again- nothing special or worth raving about. The prices were, however, good for the amount of food you get. Service was slow initially. We were seated outside and then it seemed as if the host didn't tell the waitress she had new customers outside, because we waited about 15 minutes for our order to be taken, and it required us asking a waitress walking by if she could take our order. From that point on, the service was good, but it lacked initially. The back porch was nice and quiet and overlooks the water.

Terry M.
If I was just basing my experience on food and service this would be 4 stars. Both were very good and the prices were very reasonable. But here's why I'm giving it two stars. When I walked in I noticed there was a deck outside with tables overlooking the water. So I asked if I could sit outside. The waitress seemed surprised but didn't object. While I was outside I noticed a number of birds landing nearby. When my food came more birds showed up. As I was eating I noticed some bird poop on one of the other chairs. Not very appetizing but not a shock either given the number of birds. I finished my breakfast, paid my tab and began to leave. Something (WAS NOT a little birdy) told me to duck in the men's restroom and check the back of my shirt. Sure enough, worst case scenario. The chair I had sat in had bird poop on it which was now on my shirt. So disgusting. Look I'm not from here. I see the water, and instinctively I want to sit outside enjoy the view. I didn't think to look at the chair back because when I first got there, there weren't any birds around. It would have made ALL the difference if the waitress had told me to be careful where I sat, or to check the chairs, or if they had a sign warning people to double check before they say down. I also think it would have been nearly impossible for the waitress not to have noticed what had happened to my shirt and while I can appreciate how awkward it would have been for her to say something to me I also think that it would have been the right thing to do. If I hadn't noticed it I would have also spread the bird poop to the leather seats of the rental car I was driving. So I guess the short version is that if you sit inside you'll get a decent meal at a good price. But if you sit outside... All bets are off.

My biggest complaint coming to clear water beach is decently priced breakfast. If you are stuck in the hotel, you pay nearly 20.00 for breakfast. It's good, but it's breakfast!! I love Maggie Mae, great pricing, that feel of a diner in a strip mall. Get to talk and know the wait staff.. Engage them and they are a lot of fun and really nice people. The food is good, the portions are pretty good sized. I visit from Colorado and I am always happy to go to Maggie Maes and I enjoy the service and the food!!

We had lunch here on day 1 in Sand Key and breakfast on day 2. It is a short walk from the Sheraton Sand Key. Great value for the high quality food and friendly service. Modest prices. I had a beautiful chicken walnut salad in a cantaloupe bowl. Best melon I've had all summer and the chicken salad was delicious! Hard to eat though--I should have taken the version with the melon slices! Lesson learned. Sons chicken tenders were hand breaded (not out of a freezer bag from Tyson) and a very large serving. It is not often that this growing 15 year old boy can't finish a meal! Breakfast the next day was also delicious and set is up right for a day at Busch Gardens. Get there early (before 9) of you don't want to wait for a table at breakfast. It's a small place so you might be stuck waiting. Save your receipt for 10% dinner at Backwater's at the other end of the shopping center. Also a great meal for the money.

This is a great little restaurant in an ideal location. If you are staying in Sandy Key, you won't find a better brunch option. The lines can be long, but the service and the food is very good. If the line is an issue, they offer carry out. The bananas foster was excellent. We also tried their tuna salad sandwich. It is made from fresh salmon and is very tasty. Definitely worth a visit.

Ashlie E.
This place was fantastic! There was about a 30 minute wait, which we were fine with. Apparently you can call ahead of time, which is nice to know for next time. It's a smaller breakfast joint, but it doesn't feel crowded. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the standard egg, bacon, biscuit with gravy. My husband ordered their corned beef and hash. This is one of his favorite meals and he said theirs was the best he's ever had! We would definitely recommend this place!

Great for families. Good choices in menu with an excellent price. I had the blueberry pancakes. They were delicious. Thick cut bacon was good but a little cold. Other than that the food was outstanding. Others with me had the croissant and egg sandwich, buttermilk pancakes, and the dads breakfast. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The best part? It was around $30!

Maureen D.
I had the huevos rancheros. The only thing they actually cooked on this dish were the eggs. They microwaved the tortilla which made it chewy and inedible. They took some flavorless black beans from a can, poured them in a bowl, topped them with cheese and microwaved that too, yuck. I only had a couple of bites and didn't finish my food.

I am not a breakfast person, nor am I a diner person and I'm giving Maggie Mae's 4 stars. That's how you know it is pretty delish. I was so impressed that I could eat breakfast overlooking the water and that was my very favorite part of Maggie Mae's. All of the dishes were divine. I ordered the turkey and egg white english muffin with a side of fruit. It was all so healthy and fresh! I really want to try the corn beef hash after seeing my co-worker's order. It looked SO good. Great spot for a tourist breakfast in CLW beach.

We came to Clearwater to visit a friend with my young children and found this quaint spot with the most amazing views, on Google. The wait for the patio is worth the wait, just make sure it's early in the morning so you're not uncomfortably warm from the sun. The food is just like any regular breakfast place with the exception of the banana french toast, which is fatty but you can ask for the syrup on the side to distribute as much as you'd like. The coffee is great too! The staff is very accommodating and helpful. As long as you communicate politely to what you want, they will do their best to make sure you're pleased. Highly recommend it.

We visited Maggie Mae's on recommendation from our hotel housekeeper. We showed up at prime brunch time and had about a 30 minute wait. This wasn't so bad, as we occupied ourselves with Dunkin' Donuts coffee and browsing around the neighboring shops. Plus if the line's this long, must be good right? When we were finally seated, our server was super polite and our orders came out quickly. I had the Almond French Toast and my friends had an Omelette and the Eggs Benedict. Portion sizes are pretty big and the quality of food was what you'd expect from a reliable, no-frills diner. The cons during this visit: Although the omelette should have been egg whites only, it definitely had egg yolk. Nbd though. When the server asked if we needed anything else upon delivering our plates, she must've really meant it because the only way to get her attention afterward was to wave her down. We came back the next day about an hour earlier, but still had a wait since it was Sunday brunch. This time around, we noticed that some of the waitresses were huffy and puffy when they saw how long the line was. One even gave my sister in law a nasty stare. Not cool. We waited it out, and the stare down happened to be our server. She seemed nice when we sat down, but when I asked for waters, she legit only brought out one glass for me. We had to request additional waters for the table. That was pretty weird. Anyway, we had 2 of the Big Combo and Mom's Best. Breakfast came out within minutes, and we all ate in silence as we cleared our plates. Similar to the previous server, we had to wave this one down for any kind of follow-up. Overall, food can't be beat for the price. We paid roughly $25 for 3, including tip each visit. There's plenty of silly and funny paraphernalia to keep things casual. I'm gonna chalk up the attitudes to the fact that this place always gets crowded (and for good reason).

Solid beach breakfast standard. Located next to the Columbia Restaurant on Sand Key. Have indoor table and booth seating and outdoors tables overlooking Intercoastal Waterway. Inexpensive, opens at 7 am. Biscuits are really good and crispy - not gummy like a lot of places.

Pretty good dine fare. Had the Corned beef hash. it was good. My hubs had the biscuits and gravy. Said they were good too. We went later on a Sunday- about 11:00 am . There was no wait at all. We had a table with a nice view of the intracoastal. I would come back here again. We had a good breakfast for a very good price. Service is OK, but then it is a diner. Good homey type food.

One of my favorite breakfast places near my house. The prices are cheap, but the food is anything but that. My favorite is the French toast, but their pancakes are delicious too. You can tell their eggs are real and not that crap that comes in a carton.

I loved our meal at Maggie Mae's. First, they serve Spam. Yes, I used to think Spam was disgusting but you spend enough time in Hawaii and it starts to grow on you. My daughter loved in her Spam, egg and cheese sandwich which was served on a good sized English muffin. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals and it carried it us through most of the day. The prices are great and with the quality of the food, it feels like a better deal than even the a McDonalds breakfast. The view of the bay is also quite nice. If you are in th area, I encourage you to head here. It isn't a huge place so try to get there earlier to beat the crowd.

Douglas P.
Overall disappointed... Ordered breakfast in afternoon and judging by the temperature of the food, it was cooked in the morning. Everything was cold. I kind of figured that it was sitting in the kitchen for a while, as my waitress took her break on the deck. Only thing that was hot was the English muffin, mainly because I had to return my original because it was toasted, not grilled as requested. Overall not very good.

This is not in Indian Rocks Beach so Yelp is wrong Food is average Prices are expensive For a place that just has breakfast & lunch you can't get pancakes after noon...what? Service terrible, hate a place that I have to search for the waitress for a coffee refill, they should be coming around filling your cups.

Found this place while wrapping up a morning walk. Offered coffee while we waited for about 15-20 minutes foe a table. Well worth the wait. I ordered the half order eggs Benedict. Was more than ample for me and just under 5 bucks.

Went here on our way out of clearwater. They were pretty busy, but the restaurant is not big as it is anyways. They have outdoor seating too. The views outside are beautiful. We saw a few jellyfish while we were waiting because we eat outside. There were 6 of us for breakfast. The wait staff was friendly but took a little long to get our food. Food was good. Pricing was decent.

This is a review of their breakfast. I had pancakes and bacon. Simple food, done well. The service was attentive and friendly. Everything is super cheap. The inside is a little small, but they also have a few tables outside on a deck/patio overlooking the water. It looked like they were fairly popular, and people were piling in at the door as I left. Definitely a nice find, especially considering the area and the utter lack of good options on this side if Clearwater Beach.

I could eat here everyday! We found this place on our last day in Clearwater and it was perfect. Great food, great prices (we both ate breakfast for under 15.00) and the view is breathtaking! A must stop for breakfast or lunch...you may have to wait a bit but it's well worth it...weather permitting ask to sit outside!

Alvaro Q.
I loved this place. Great food and for a breakfast place the menu is really good, and you can sit outside with a nice view to the bay (we saw some dolphins from the deck too!) We got the banana foster, the Benedict eggs, and pancakes, all really good. Will come back as soon as possible!

While I was in Clearwater Beach, I drove over to Sand Key just to explore. Needed some breakfast to take to the beach so I stopped here and ordered the breakfast burrito. It was HUGE! It had eggs, cheese, bacon, black beans, tomatoes and there were jalapenos on the side. The waitress (who was very friendly) put adobo sauce, salsa and sour cream in little containers on the side. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thankfully she put in a knife & fork because there is no way you can pick this up! YUM! This appears to be a friendly neighborhood place. If I lived in the area it's a place I'd go to now & then. Only open for breakfast and lunch.

With apologies in advance to Mr Stewart..Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you...It's late December and I should not really be standing in a windy cold parking lot for an hour...I know I'm keeping you amused,but I really feel like I'm being used..Oh Maggie I couldn't have waited anymore!!...in all seriousness if the wait in the off season is an hour++ for Breakfast, I have to imagine in season it must range from 2+ Hours to ,no way were waiting, were going to Waffle House Territory..in my never ending quest to find the nation's best corned beef hash the word around the grapevine was Maggie's had legit Corned Beef Hash, so I was determined to wait it out...after finally getting seated the best words to describe Maggie's are chaotic and hectic..the place was packed to the gills....people that were waiting to be seated or have their name called were standing in the cramped space everywhere...service was rushed and a little off/slow just because the poor girls are frankly overworked, so I am honestly giving them as a pass...once the food arrived though I have to say it was excellent...Corned Beef Hash was as good as advertised and it really is the best I have had in Tampa Bay...the only place I have found that actually makes it homemade and it is easily noticeable by the shredded non-uniform pieces of corned beef and the different sizes of potatoes...the standard food service corned beef everyone else uses all the pieces of corned beef and potatoes are the exact same size..as much as I liked the corned beef hash though, I thought the HillBilly Taters were even better...this was a concoction of potatoes..eggs..bacon..sausage..and onions..all covered in sausage gravy....heart attack on a plate I'm sure ,but Oh so good!!..another one of our party had the Eggs Benedict and said they were fantastic as well...I would definitely come here for the food a lot more often if not for the crowds and wait...one of the problems is Maggies inside only has one table that can seat more than 4 people, so if you come with more than 4 you are either waiting a long time for that table or you can choose to sit outside where you will have a great view of The Intercoastal ,but unfortunately probably be sitting in a wind tunnel while being attacked by birds..Maggie's only being open for Breakfast and a few Lunch Hours also probably has something to do with the constant crowds....personally Breakfast Food does not wow me enough to wait hours for it, even if you do have the best corned beef hash in Tampa, so Maggie you will have to find other patient Diners to keep you amused...5 Stars for food - 1 star for crowds and atmosphere make Maggies a solid 4 star joint..if you go just bring your patience with you and you will be rewarded in the end

I have wanted to try this place for a while bc it's a breakfast place that actually has a water view. Finally checked it out, but one of the people in our group was afraid that the birds would scoop up our food, or sit on their head. We went inside to a pretty packed interior. It seemed a little bit older of a place, but it was okay. I had a breakfast burrito and it ended up better than I thought, and the price was unforgettable. Quite inexpensive. The service was great. The breakfast options were nothing extraordinary though, so that is why I gave it 3 stars! I'm still looking for my FL breakfast place. Still a challenge for me!

It may have been the fact that we were on vacation and in high spirits, but we had a fabulous experience at Maggie Mae's. Food was great and really affordable! We sat out on the deck and really enjoyed the view! Definitely a must visit for a low key breakfast when you're out in Clearwater!

Maggie Mae's is only a two minute walk from the Sheraton so my boyfriend and I decided to wander over for breakfast on Friday morning. It was packed at 10am on a Friday! The servers were so friendly and I loved hearing their lingo. The food took a while to come out but we didn't mind at all. We were having too much fun reading the signs that were hanging all over the walls. Of course I ordered the Eggs Benedict Arnold (half order). It was amazing! I never had sausage gravy before and I didn't know what to expect but it is delicious and addicting! My boyfriend, who took forever to decide, went with the Southern Country Breakfast. He definitely could NOT finish it. His plate was heaped with eggs, sausage, biscuits, pancakes and gravy. We also ordered a small Almond french toast which was to die for! Oh and their coffee was served hot and hit the spot.

FYI. Writing this over several days as it is next to our hotel. Will update with each visit, so will break it into paragraphs based on meal and day. So far I like it. Just went for lunch today, and the chicken florentine wrap and Philly steak sandwich were great. Awesome value. Will be going for breakfast soon. Hope to report back on that too. Went for breakfast. After the wonderful lunch the breakfast was a bit more underwhelming. The potatoes were cooked perfectly but had almost no seasoning on them. The biscuits and gravy were good, but once again seemed to be short on the seasoning. Not sure if I caught them at an off time, or they under season on purpose in order to please a larger audience. Value was still there, and the service was good. Old school "greasy-spoon" feel to the restaurant, one can sit at the counter and watch them cook it you would like.

Went here this morning for breakfast. The food and service was superb. I had the burrito and substituted potatoes in it for the black beans and tomatoes. It was delicious and was plenty of food. I highly recommend thus place and will definitely be back. Nice view of the water, too.

My visits (12/22/13 - 12/24/13) I stayed at the Sheraton Sand Key and Maggies is basically down the steet (walking distance). I experienced breakfast on 3 mornings and lunch once. The food was always good and the staff is always attentive. Taylor by far gets high marks from me. Its also nice that they have a hotspot so I was able to check my emails on my tablet and keep myself occupied (because I was alone). Breakfast: Pancakes disappointed but any egg dish was excellent - fair price - coffee always full. Lunch - a heart stopping burger (which the first one was given to another customer)....but Taylor was gracious about it and got me a replacement quickly. Overall I would recommend and when I'm back in town I'll be back for breakfast.

Great little restaurant with great service. Breakfast was good and food was good. Great value for your money. Would definitely go back if I'm in Clear Water.

Humor + good food = fun times This small little breakfast/lunch diner on Sand Key comes across as a hole in the wall when you first enter with just a handful of booths, a bar/counter with stools and an "add yourself to the waiting list" low-brow vibe. But while waiting for a table and browsing the hilarious odds and ends posted on the walls in the extremely small entrance area, you realize its one of those places where people probably love to work. A sample: "Maggie's Rules: "#1 Be patient. This is Florida. We don't get in too much of a hurry over anything! "#2 If you are mean and grouchy, Maggie collects a $10 cover charge! Please identify yourself. "#5 (We forgot what 3 & 4 are) Un-attended children will be given an espresso and a FREE puppy." The hand-drawn picture hanging on the wall by the front, left by a little English girl tourist of her meal of silver dollar pancakes, orange juice, and "a green thing" with an arrow pointing to what was most likely a parsley garnish made me smile when she declared that Maggie Mae's had the "Best food in the world!" The food was simple, cooked well and down-home tasty. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuits and gravy -- comfort food. I was so comforted! Thanks Maggie Mae's.

My husband and I went here for breakfast and loved it. The service was fantastic and the portions were huge.
(4)Rob R.
Great breakfast, we go there every time we are in Clearwater.
(5)Boston Italian Girl O.
Average at best. Service wasn't great, food was just alright and I think it's kind of hard to mess up breakfast. My husband can devour an omelet in 2.2 seconds and couldn't even finish this one, it was dry and tasteless. It was cheap, so that was a plus but definitely woudn't go back.
(3)Lucas C.
I think if you walk into Maggie maes thinking Denny's or Ihop you will leave very happy with what you get. The environment is modest and comfortable, they have a nice patio overlooking the bay. The food is more or less standard diner fare, but it is superior to what you will find at any chain restaurant and it is priced very reasonably. The service was friendly and the food came out fast. Overall I would certainly return to try some of their other options.
(5)Miriam G.
the food was very good but the service was not great. it took a very long time to get seated but once we did our breakfast experience ended on a great note. sitting outside was well worth it and the view of the water and the dolphins was a beautiful morning.
(4)Stacy H.
We found this place one morning when we were hunting for a delicious breakfast. The Hillbilly Taters and Maggie's Mess are both amazing! We try to get over there once a month
(5)Lindsay K.
Went to Maggie Mae's on a Sunday morning. The food is cheap, but there's plenty of it. I had eggs, toast, and home fries for about $6. A perfect start before a day at the beach or after a night of being out.
(4)Patrick C.
Very small diner, but very good and inexpensive. The service is pretty good and the food quite good. Portions are what I would consider "normal", not Frog Pond sized. The prices are also normal for breakfast. I wouldn't go in here on a busy morning because the wait might be considerable, but if you can get in without a huge wait, it is worth it.
(4)Robert M.
Have been there numerous times, enjoyed taken the entire family and enjoyed quality food at reasonable prices with excellent service, One cannot ask for anymore!
(5)NewTo F.
I give it four stars because the place is clean. We tried the new location on West Bay, Very nice. Service was good and the floors and tables were very clean. The food was what I would expect for breakfast. No grits on the menu though. The new location only just opened. For the most part the only giveaway that the place is new is just how clean it is. Another good thing is the food was cooked perfectly. I like my eggs cooked over easy and my husband likes his cooked hard. Most places tend to get this simple order wrong with my egg whites under cooked and his yellows under cooked. This was Not an issue at Maggie's. His eggs were perfect and mine were as well. We will be going back again soon.
(4)Joe H.
allways great never had a bad time here
(5)Sean B.
Nice little breakfast, lunch, "blunch" place on the Clearwater Bay waterfront in Sand Key. The Eggs Benedict Arnold -- biscuits and sausage gravy with fried eggs and cheese -- and the french toast are both very good.
(4)Danny T.
Maggie Mae's was a Yelp review chance I took while vacationing on the Treasure Coast. It was a perfect greasy spoon diner right on the water (inter-coastal). I understood from earlier reviews that the patio only had three tables, so chances are you will have to eat inside. I however, was able to get out in the sun and enjoy breakfast el fresco. The Eggs Benedict Arnold was my order of the day. I actually only got a half portion, which was a great value for this massive biscuit topped off with egg, cheese, sausage and lump sausage gravy. Also got some bacon on the side, twas crispy just as I prefer and the excess gravy-moat surrounding the entree was ample enough for toast sopping. I was eating pretty early in the morning, during the summer and it was packed. Luckily a local mentioned that I make sure to sign in. As soon as I noted my outside preference I was seated post haste. Friendly and attentive servers, big delish portions at a reasonable price. Really, when it comes to breakfast, there's not a whole lot more you need.
(4)Stefanie M.
Best biscuits and gravy around. Never thought to put the eggs, meat on the biscuits with the gravy over it before but OMG it was good. We try to get here anytime we are in the area.
(5)Teresa K.
Great breakfast place near Belleaire Beach, in fact, the ONLY breakfast place we found. And it was good. No surprises, nothing fancy, just good, honest food. Prices are reasonable. Service was good. We got there early and sat out back on the patio overlooking the bay. Very nice except that the patio was filthy down in front of Dunkin Donuts.
(5)David O.
Decent food for a decent price. Plenty of options on the menu. We ate here twice in past two days and will probably venture there again before we leave!
(4)Angela F.
This is a great restaurant for breakfast! It is conveniently located in a plaza with other shops and has outdoor and indoor seating on the pier. The service is great...quick and friendly. I ordered a vegetarian omelet (mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, green peppers) with toast which was only $4.75! The prices are very affordable and their menu is extensive with a wide variety of options...pretty much anything you would want on a breakfast menu. They were also very accommodating and catered to my dietary restrictions. The portions were huge and my eggs were very tasty with very fresh ingredients. Great option for breakfast, brunch, and lunch!

We went there for breakfast about 10am on a Tuesday during the last week of May and we were lucky enough to walk right in and get the last open table outside. There are only 3 outdoor tables so I can see why it is challenging for others. The food was fine but the atmosphere was so calming in the morning that I would go there for that alone. In fact the two tables next to us were whispering, which I ignored and talked at a regular tone, but it was that relaxing that they felt the need to whisper. I had the BLT which said it was on Texas Toast. My interpretation of Texas Toast was the thick garlic bread, but this was just thick toast. It would have been awesome if there was garlic on it but without it was good. My husband had the farmer's platter which was great for the most part. Loved the biscuit and gravy and bacon. The potatoes were pretty bland and either needed to be cooked a little longer to be crispier or add seasoning for flavor. Our server Dana was super sweet and made it a pleasant visit for first thing in the morning. Just watch out for the birds. As soon as people get up and walk away they scoop in and pick up food, jam or sugar packets. It's actually entertaining.
(4)Lisa G.
Very cute place. Good food. I'm a bacon girl but the sausage was better! Pancakes were tasty. The view is really nice but not many tables outside or in for that matter...that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I had to sit at the bar. The place is tiny.
(4)Scott B.
I actually give it 3.5 The place was very crowded at 10:45 AM on a Tuesday (I don't fault the for being popular) but it was disappointing to show up to a place advertising outdoor seating and waterfront views only to find out that there are only a few outside tables. It took us about 30 minutes to get a seat inside, would have probably been 90 for outdoor. The food is inexpensive and there is a big selection, but it also tastes like food that is inexpensive and comes with a big selection. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. Also, the waitress filled out decaf with regular, which is not a big deal and was fixed when requested
(4)Andrew W.
Great food, great prices. Solid breakfast food--not the froufrou stuff. Eggs Benedict Arnold--sausage gravy instead of holandaise sauce--is really good (half order is plenty) as is the Corned Beef Hash. No problem sitting outside both days we ate there. If there's much breeze, the umbrellas have to stay closed, so bring your sunglasses.
(4)Chris S.
Great place for breakfast, especially if you are staying at the Marriot right next door, all you have to do is walk down the board walk that is connected to the pool area. Most of their servings are huge, but you can find lighter fare as well. I'm not a huge breakfast person but I was very impressed with Maggie Mae's.
(4)Nancy H.
Return visit to Maggie Mae's was on a weekend morning, busy as heck but service was snappy, pleasant, and not at all rushed. The table next to us heard the moans of delight from my dining companion over his corned beef hash, and the fellow ordered a side order (huge) to try it himself. He completed his own large entree plus his "side" of CB hash, and both his fellow diner and I had a very tough time negotiating for a small bite. Great visit!
(5)Sara C.
I happened upon this seemingly "mom & pop" place while vacationing. Our first impression of the cafe was when one of the waitresses, amidst what sounded like a personal call, told us "Sit over there" and pointed to a booth. While we were in the restaurant the staff seemed more interested in cracking jokes with each other than in serving the guests. My visit coincided with the 2014 World Cup and this seemed to be a main topic of the staff's conversation. I figured this out because they were all hanging around the bar area practicing their German accents I can only guess in support of the German team. The Germans ended up winning, so maybe this little exchange with the waitresses at Maggie Mae's proved to be good luck for Germany. While the Germans were well served with this staffs support, I was under served at best. The waitress got my order wrong-I ordered their BELT sandwich which sounded great to me. It was a take on the classic BLT but the "E" meant I could expect an egg on my sandwich as well. The waitress asked how I liked my egg and I asked for it a little runny. My sandwich showed up only being a BLT and instead of bringing it up and having to wait for the correction I decided to eat my BLT minus the "E". The waitress never came back to check on us, or refill our drinks. When presented with the bill I asked her if the BELT sandwich cost more than the BLT, and if so she needed to adjust my bill because there was no egg on my sandwich. Instead of apologizing like I expected she would, she took back the bill and said she would check. To her credit, she did change my tab by taking $1 off but she never apologized for her mistake. I was underwhelmed with my experience at Maggie Mae's. The staff was not rude, but was not helpful, and was more interested in bonding with their coworkers than in serving the customers.
(1)Lori D.
Absolutely LOVE this adorable breakfast and lunch spot. Was here for a week with my family and we ate breakfast at Maggie's 5 out of the 7 days. The Tijuana omlette is my favorite. Loaded with peppers, onions, jalapeños, black beans, and jack cheese. Totally different than anything you can get anywhere else. Fresh squeezed OJ always is a major plus. The service is fast and friendly. We had Laura and Taylor who started our days off on the right foot. Take it from me, Maggie's is THE spot for breakfast on Clearwater Beach.
(5)Lisa D.
This place wins top breakfast in my opinion! I went with my family yesterday morning. We thought the people waiting outside meant we were in for a long wait but it turned out to be nothing too bad. I went in the shop next door to poke around and when I got back to the group, we were called in. To start, the coffee was delicious! They even give you a to go cup if you want! (included in the price of the bottomless cup). That alone won my heart over. But the food! OMG! We all had the Eggs Benedict Arnold. MMMM MMM Good! I think we will back for more! We all loved this place.
(5)Sherri R.
We went just as the switch from breakfast to lunch occurred so we were glad for the "blunch" menu. It wasn't busy, so we were surprised that they were slow to bus the tables. Several guests wanted the booth by the window as the outside tables were full. Most of the breakfast items were pretty standard fare. I had the "Make Your Own" omelette. It was well prepared, but nothing extraordinary. The corned beef hash was tasty, but not extraordinary. However, the Hillbilly Taters were great! Lots of flavor and even a bit of a kick if you add the jalapeños, which I highly recommend. The gravy was perfect with a little extra pepper. Seems a Southerner might have inspired this dish! It just wasn't quite worth the drive from the other side of Tampa. The search for the best Tampa area breakfast continues.
(3)Mike V.
The biggest problem here is deciding what to order for breakfast. Everything we have eaten has been excellent. I highly recommend the Eggs Benedict. My wife prefers their Benedict with corned beef., but we both agree the hollandaise is good stuff. Try a half order of each for a nice treat. Their pancakes are decent, but don't match up to other selections on the menu. The grits are nice and creamy, perfect with melted cheese on top. We prefer a seat in the back facing the beautiful water view, I'm sure you will too.
(4)E F.
Wow. This place really surprised me. I wasn't expecting quality food in the Largo area. It was slightly packed on Sunday morning, 20 minute wait no big deal. Cute interior with Trivial Pursuit cards at the table which was nice. Super nice waitress and very fast service. I ordered the creme brûlée french toast with a side of bacon. Wow. Amazing. I could taste the custard, the bread was fresh and moist, it had crystalized sugar on top and the syrup was real maple syrup. The bacon was good quality and cooked perfectly. My friend got the egg biscuit and gravy scramble which had onions and sausage in it. It was amazing. Great flavor, nothing fake tasting, seasoned perfectly and good quality produce. My meal was $6.85. I would go back again and again. This place was great and I will be back to try new things. Finally a local business that knows how to do it right!!
(5)Kate D.
We've visited Maggie Mae's a few times while staying at the Marriott on Sand Key for spring break. Burgers and omelets are excellent. The only reason I bumped them down to four stars is because their grilled chicken sandwich was not very good... A generous portion of chicken, but it was bland, dry & very overcooked. Maybe that was just an unfortunate anomaly, because the eggs, burgers and variety of breads for toast are great, and service is excellent too. Definitely worth a visit - a great choice for brunch!
(4)Amanda C.
Small, cute, quick and yummy. That's all I need for a breakfast stop. Got there about 11 and wasn't crowded but everyone was super friendly. Ordered the club sandwich WITH the cranberry mayo which I admit I wasn't sure if that was the right choice but it was actually delicious. Definitely stop in for a quick bite.
(4)Dreama C.
You write your own name on a list and check where you would like to sit. We checked outside. We had 5 people sit ahead of us so I asked one of the waitress's how long it would be and she I don't know how long people are going to be sitting outside! Well that should have been out first indication of what service we were going to receive. Unfortunately our waitress was the same person who was rude at the door. Her name was Laura. Three different groups sat down after us and got their food way before us. When we finally received our food it was all cold. She did not come back ONE time to ask us if we wanted anything! We asked her for our check and she went back into the kitchen and started scraping plates and clearing other tables. Had to ask another waitress for our check who immediately got it for us. Very disappointed. This was our last day in Sand Key. We were looking forward to a nice breakfast to start the day. I gave them 2 stars because if the food would have been warm it would have been good. The breakfast casserole is recommended. Should have went with our first choice of the Wildflower Cafe.
(2)Ac A.
This little scenic place on the beach had great breakfast but a very long wait. Must try if you are in Clearwater beach.
(5)Josef W.
Wonderful place for a late breakfast. We were talking to a couple of locals who said it can be very crowded during the "season" but we walked right in. Good food , great prices and a nice view form the outside tables....don't feed the birds... Very friendly staff.
(4)Victoria J.
Just went to MM's for the first time today for lunch. - Don't miss this quiet, charming and AFFORDABLE restaurant! MM's feature's a well-rounded menu and our food was served with professional courtesy on a timely basis, considering everything seems to be made "from start". - Hey, no loud TV or music! - What a plus! - Just quiet dining, conversation (you remember conversation?) and delicious food. We plan to go back for breakfast. - Finally, I want to note that my husband's club sandwich was "the best I ever had", and my steak sandwich featured a generous whole steak that was tender and flavorful. Thanks MM's! - The SSI area is increasingly expensive and frankly, not always with the best food for the price. - We'll be back and recommend this restaurant to everyone.
(5)CJ H.
Nice place. Waited 20 minutes for a table for 7, not bad. Had the Big Burrito, sausage, black beans, onion, cheese and jalapeños. Had a bite or two of the Tuna Melt. Both were good. Kids enjoyed the burgers and chicken wings. No complaints. Will go back for the Bananas Foster French Toast.
(4)Eric R.
Just great "home cooking". Nothing fancy, pretentious, or over hyped - just great food. I can definitely recommend the BELT, a new twist on the BLT that adds egg. They are now open for dinner until 8 pm.
(3)Suzy G.
Came here on a recent visit to the Tampa Bay area. We figured we would give it a try since it got some decent reviews on Yelp. My companion ordered the "Mess" and the waitress informed us that it was delicious, and that most of the staff order that when they are working there. I stuck with an omelet which was good too. Prices can't be beat for breakfast in Clearwater. Would have liked to sit outside, but it was a rainy day, but sitting inside was fine. The place had a warm homey feel to it. Now that we are back home, when I ask my companion what he wants to do for breakfast, he says he wants a Maggie Mae's "MESS"....so I suppose a trip back to the Tampa Bay area is in order.
(4)Sandy A.
The food was fine. No off the charts kind of a special menu. Just basic breakfast food. The fruit salad had canned pineapple, not fresh and the mushrooms in my "mess" were canned. I love visiting in the area, but would rather get a banana and a yogurt at the grocery store.
(3)Nicole Leigh S.
My boyfriend and stayed over here for Memorial Day weekend and went to sit down for breakfast. Unfortunately the hotel had stopped serving (oh, okay we didn't make it out of our room until noon!), but Maggie Mae's was the suggested dine in for breakfast. We accepted this suggestion. It was a cute little joint, neat pictures on the wall, good menu with a lot of options to choose from. We went for one breakfast item and one lunch. We liked them both a lot. The service faltered a little so I knocked them down a touch, but other than that I wouldn't be opposed to dining here again should I be in the area.
(3)Little Miss C.
You are going here purely for the view enroute. Driving from St.Petersburg is a nice way to kick off your day of fun in the sun, while visiting from Boston. Food: Nothing special Service: Really nothing special.
(2)Rita M.
hostess was rude &seemed unhappy w/her life &job. I signed me &my bf in &requested for OUTDOOR seating. When called to our table, she brought us to a booth INSIDE. I let it go, since I guess it was too difficult to differentiate between reading OUTSIDE vs. INSIDE. Our waitress was pretty nice to compensate &the prices were cheap. Food was ok, nothing spectacular
(2)Sonny O.
Great breakfast. One big key was the potatoes that were not over seasoned so they tasted like potatoes. Had a bit of a line when we arrived and signed the sign in sheet but we got a table in about 20 minutes. I had the Eggs Benedict Arnold which was amazing. Good sausage gravy and eggs were cooked perfect. My wife had the veggie omelet and loved the fact that the potatoes were not over seasoned. Only thing we need to remember when we go back is that not all omelets have cheese so we'll add that and not all breakfasts come with potatoes so I'll add those. All in all we'll be trying their other location that may have fewer tourists and more locals. A new go to place for breakfast.
(4)Robert G.
We read some of the reviews and they peaked our interest to try Maggie Mae's. We were looking for a great tasting breakfast that wasn't like the average 'cookie cutter' breakfast place or average quality hotel breakfast buffet. Maggie Mae's is definitely a 'hole in the wall' type place as many people have described it. I've found that those are typically the best type of place to eat, especially for breakfast. When it comes to the food, we enjoyed it. We had a breakfast burrito, corned beef hash and eggs and a few slices of toasted almond French toast. I am a big fan of all three of these breakfasts usually. The French toast was good, not great, but good. They were light and not ovecooked as I have had before from other places. I felt there could have been more flavor in the batter, maybe more cinnamon or something like that. Although the taste of the almonds were good, it just seemed like something that was just thrown in at the end instead if incorporating it mote into the flavor of the batter. Not necessarily a let down but could have been a little bit better. With that being said, the rest of our breakfast was really good. I enjoyed the breakfast burrito. It had eggs, cheese, sausage and black beans with jalapeño and salsa on the side. Now, let's talk about the corned beef hash. It is one of the best we have ever had! This is not your mama's canned corned beef hash. (although I do enjoy that as well) This corned beef has real chunks of corned beef that were cooked very well. This is the type if corned beef hash that you would have after making home made corned beef the night before. It was tender and able to be pulled apart with your fork. That added with the onions and home fry size pieces of potato that really made this corned beef hash memorable. We like it a little on the well done side which really added to the flavor and texture. We would definitely recommend this to anyone! All in all, our experience went very well. We sat outside on the boardwalk at a table with an umbrella. The view was great, the good was very tasty and we enjoyed ourselves. Check it out for yourself!
(4)Connie W.
Super cheap and good eats. Recommendations: -grits -tijuana omelette -banana walnut pancakes -waffles with FRESH strawberries -bacon -blueberry waffles
(4)Todd T.
Good food. Very busy, seems like mostly tourist due to being so close to the beaches and hotels. Being a resident here I don't see me going back. The wait was forever and the service slow due to the large amount of business. The prices are reasonable for the location. In summary, if you live in Pinellas find a different place, if you're staying at a hotel on Clearwater Bch and don't want to go far for food this place is worth a visit.
(3)Jackie M.
Meh. I've had better breakfasts at many diners.
(2)Anu H.
Excellent breakfast and excellent service. We were staying at the Marriott next door, but would come here even if we lived far. Its a small place with great food, very reasonably priced and the staff was happy to chat if you asked them a question. We had 2 strawberry waffles, and scrambled eggs with house potatoes mixed in, based on our server's recommendation! The fresh whipping cream was delicious on the waffles. The menu or the decor had a funny comment about not being in a rush - along the lines of - this is Florida and one needs to take it slow. We took their advice!
(5)Grant T.
Based on the reviews, I was hoping for a quirky little place with pretty good food and friendly service. I was looking forward to it. After all, breakfast is my favorite meal and I have eaten in, and loved, many little breakfast places. Sadly, I did not love this one. The food is not particularly good. I have eggs bennies all the time and am not really that hard to please, but these disappointed. Tough back bacon, overdone english muffins, the disconcerting perfect roundness of eggs poached in that certain pan, hollandaise sauce that was not present in sufficient amounts to taste, poor coffee, and nasty not fresh orange juice (in Florida no less) were too much bad to be redeemed by the pretty good potatoes. Add in service that was neither friendly nor particularly good and you have an experience that I will not be repeating.
(1)C A.
The food is cheap, but the breakfast was yummy! the bacon is extremly salty beware. LOL...there is an odd sign up sheet that you have to sign in on when you first enter befor they seat you. The hostes/ waitress not friendly at all. not rude either, just gruff, as if she doesnt enjoy her job and she's pissed that she had to get up that morning. Its a cute small little place. would i go back ? yes....but only if the service got better and wasnt treated as if just another dollar going into their register.
(3)Alex N.
Good breakfast, but be prepared to wait during season.
(4)John C.
Very good food and great service. Had the Tijuana omelet and it was fantastic.
(5)Denise W.
Excellent choice for breakfast. My friend and I were headed to the beach and stopped here for breakfast...and glad we did. No wait and we sat outside (the birds weren't too bad until we finished eating). The food was great and the portion sizes were big. We both ordered the mama's breakfast which was eggs, bacon, toast and grits or potatoes and it was all yummy! I like my bacon very crispy, and was impressed that they cooked it perfectly to my liking. Then we ordered the bananas Foster french toast to share and sure glad we did, it was delicious and a great way to top off breakfast. Highly recommended if your in the area and want a good breakfast.
(5)Jennifer C.
The wait is worth it! You can call ahead when you're 15 min away and they'll get you on the list! Went for my birthday on Labor Day weekend and loved their bananas foster French toast! My husband ordered the country fried steak and enjoyed it as well! Will be back!
(5)Aurora A.
We decided to head a bit further away from the walkable breakfast places and found Maggie Mae's in a strip mall (which at first was disconcerting b/c the pics showed waterfront views). As we enter, we are met with a packed diner-like set up with people waiting to be seated and a sign saying "sign up on clipboard". We are immediately greeted by a sassy (not in a nasty way but in a entertaining way) waiter who told us it wouldn't be too long to get a seat. I inquired about sitting outside and he replied "sure you can but it's really hot out there. go take a look and see if you can stand it). And i checked and it seemed ok, so we sat outside under 1 of the 4 umbrella'd tables on a porch overlooking the bay. Beautiful blue water, with people on wave runners sealed our choice. We were quickly greeted by our server, brought ice coffee and juice and questions were answered about the menu. Quickly, a server came out and greeted us, giving us menus and taking our drink orders. While she was gone a slew of little sparrows came around to check out what they could hustle away from the table next to us. very cute. we sampled pancakes, home fries (TASTY), eggs, and crispy perfectly cooked bacon. there were no complaints between us. although, at some point the sun became to persecute us especially once we started eating all the good food! if we are back around, we will def. be stopping back by. This cafe was the best at all around breakfast of all the places we went to in clearwater beach.

Banana fosters French toast is where it's at!!! And the eggs corn beef Bennie is super de duper DELISH!!!!!
(5)Lisa K.
Breakfast with a view. I had the huevos rancheros with pico and black beans, delicious! My husband had eggs, bacon, potatoes with gravy and pancakes. He was very happy with his meal. We are definitely coming back when in town.
(5)Kendra L.
I wouldn't waste my time going here. We were so excited to try this place while on vacation because of the reviews/ outside seating with a view. Unfortunately they weren't seating people on the back deck because a storm was coming (understandable) ... When we walked in we were greeted by a guy with a poor attitude (at first I said he had zero personality but I then decided wait he did have personality it was just poor) .... Okay so we eventually get seated and looking around and there were a lot of cool features... Like maps with pins of where people come from and eat there ... There were four of us 1 of the 4 likes their food. Which was an omelet with potatoes... The items that wasn't liked was the biscuit and gravy, waffle (it was a weird born color and texture and flavor were nasty). Our waitress had zero personality as well. When she was pre bussing our table a knife fell off a plate and landed on my fiances shirt (would have be okay, mistakes happen ... I've been a server before) but she blamed it on him .. Got syrup all over his shirt .... There were people waiting for a table and they came in to check and he said, "I already called you guys it was for the bar area" and they said, "okay that's fine we will take it" and he said, "oh I already gave it away" ... Them "we were waiting out back" ... Him "I don't yell out back only out front" ..... You would think they would tell you from the get go I mean out back is where the view is... Idk seemed really rude and we all just got a horrible vibe from this place... Would never go back.

Visited here for breakfast before a trip to Busch gardens. It's a bit of a spin beyond Busch gardens from Orlando but it's worth it!!! Lovely atmosphere, pleasant staff, endless coffee and good food. I had the French toast with bacon. It was fab. One more thing, the view of the bay from the back door is beautiful!
(4)Brandy V.
Yummy breakfast with a view! Sat outside on a warm morning and enjoyed every second. Eggs, toast, and sausage were delicious. Friendly staff, will definitely be back!

What an adorable place! I was in town on vacation and came across Maggie Mae's when looking for somewhere to eat in the area for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised by the cheap prices - you get so much food! I ordered a larger breakfast with eggs, home-fries, pancakes, bacon, sausage and a coffee - my bill was under $10 and I left stuffed! It's a cute little Southern dinner filled with locals and people on vacation. We sat outside and enjoyed the view of the water. It was such a relaxing way to start the morning. My only concern was the aggressive (to say the least) birds that I kept having to shoo away from eating my breakfast. I honestly have never had so many birds fly to my table in my life. Hey, I guess the food is that good even the birds want some!

Came in this morning for breakfast because my husband still remembers their delicious corned beef hash a few years ago. Our wait was a little longer than most (~30 min) because we requested a boardwalk table. We weren't in a hurry so this wasn't an issue for us. We were seated at a table that had not been cleared. It only took them a couple of minutes to clear it and get our drink order. We didn't see the waitress again for at least 10-15 min. At that time we put in our orders amd it took a good 20 min to get our food. At least we had a snack before coming in. My husband was mostly happy with his corned beef hash - as they serve the real thing and not something from a can. I ordered the whole wheat pancakes and was not impressed. They were dry and had a lot of grainy chunks (I'm used to the grains being finely ground - maybe that is just my preference). The view is beautiful from their deck but the umbrellas barely provide any shade - just FYI. I don't think I would go out of my way to come here again but it was fine if I happen to be in the area.
(3)Souad D.
Very yummy breakfast. Cute place..like a diner. Eggs Benedict with corned beef and french toast bananas foster are a must to try. Good service, reasonable prices. . Will definitely come back.
(4)B R.
Came in here after our red-eye flight. We were so grateful they were open already. We ordered their eggs benedict style Arnold , banana's foster French toast, chocolate chip pancake, eggs, and bacon and hot chocolates. The hot chocolate just hit the spot for me. I finished it almost immediately. The food was delish!!!! I shared the eggs benedict and French toast with my hubby. They were both bomb. It was just the right portion for us to share too. I was hoping we could go back there again for breakfast but time was not kind to us. We will definitely come back here when we are in the area.
(4)Mark O.
Great place to grab some food. Their eggs Benedict Arnold is great and very filling. The wait was about 15 min on a Tuesday morning so not bad. If you sit on the porch do so before 10am as it heats up a lot outside. Lastly while we waited to be seated they brought us coffee. The place doesn't look like much but the service and food will definitely make up for the small restaurant. Also conveniently located.
(5)Marlene P.
Nice little hole in the wall joint. Food is good, prices are moderate, ambiance is chill. Came here for Sunday brunch with a friend and the wait wasnt as long as I expected, the food came out pretty fast too. I had the veggie scrambler, belgian waffle with strawberries and whip cream (had to!), coffee, and small OJ. Nice spot. If im ever in the area, I'd hit it up again.
(4)Kelly C.
Best breakfast in town! We had the corned beef hash (highly recommend) and it was the BEST I've ever had!! The bananas foster pancakes were decadent and delicious. Everything we ordered far exceeded our expectations. If you're in the area, you definitely should stop by and try Maggie Mae's. Also, prices were great and portion sizes were filling.
(5)Todd B.
Going 4 stars here because of the lackluster service, but I wouldn't have hesitated going to 5 stars with better service. This is a great little find. Perfect location, too, in that on the north end of Sand Key, it can also get people from the south of Clearwater Beach - if they aren't too lazy to walk across the bridge. It's right on the water - I think the intercoastal, but I'm not sure - and if you're lucky enough to get a seat on their back patio, then you have a beautiful view for breakfast. We got there kind of late, and while they were on a wait, there were only a couple of tables ahead of us. Therefore, we decided to wait for an outside table. Took about 30 minutes, but worth the wait for the view. Just a bit unfortunate that they only have a few outdoor tables when all that is next to them is a clothing store that has no need for the outside deck. Anyway, they have a pretty big menu. Strangely, you can't get pancakes after noon, and frankly, that makes no sense at all. I can't imagine under what scenario you have to stop using your griddle for pancakes. They don't make a mess, they are easy to clean up after...I just don't get it, but I guess I don't have to since I wasn't ordering pancakes. I got their Hillbilly Taters, which was essentially everything thrown into an omelet. Onions, eggs, bacon, sausage, jalepeno with sausage gravy and a biscuit. Really good. Girlfriend liked hers, too - a tijuana omelet. Picture a breakfast burrito but as an omelet, not a burrito. My only food disappointment was that when I looked at the menu, I looked at their Belleair Bluffs menu, which is slightly different and had a pork hash I wanted to dive into, but alas, the Clearwater/Sand Key location didn't have it on their menu. The biggest issue was the service. The server was pleasant, but she disappeared for ling stretches of time. I will grant her that we clearly were not in a rush, but we may have seen her walk by every 10-15 minute, which isn't often enough to walk through your section. My girlfriend wanted coffee, I needed more water, and we needed the check and then needed to pay. Eventually, I just got up and went inside to pay because we just got tired of waiting. So minus one star for lousy service, but I'll still be back (actually, I'll probably go to the other location to go swimming in some carnitas hash).
(4)Kerry O.
Let's start with the food: average to below average at best it seem like most things were either frozen freeze-dried or came out of a can. We sat on the deck which I usually like to do when I'm in Florida, not a great idea here though. Most places have string or wire to keep the seagulls and other birds away, this place did not have that. The service was not very quick or complementary, it seemed as if the put people cleaning up were not that motivated. Overall, just not a very good morning experience.
(1)Kary E.
I love this place. Breakfast is delicious and unique decor of funny sayings around the restaurant that it makes you smile the whole time. People are amazingly friendly!!
(5)Christine L.
If you come here, get the Reuben. Absolutely the best Reuben I've ever had. I order Reuben's a lot as it is one of my favorite sandwiches, and I've never had a Reuben this amazing. The breakfast is good too, tastes very fresh and home made. I wouldn't recommend coming here In a large group though; the restaurant is mainly booths. The wait is always long on weekends too. It's worth it though! Get the Reuben!!!!
(5)Melissa Z.
There are a lot of crappy breakfast places that litter this stretch of sand and thankfully this one is not one of them. One of the best breakfast restaurants near Clearwater/St Pete Beach and one of the few I know with a gorgeous water view. We came for brunch at 2pm (yes 14:00) and still had to wait 30 mins for a table (oh yes). That should give you some indication how popular this place is and for good reason: the food is great and if you are one of the lucky few who can get a table outside under the shady tiki umbrella with a gorgeous upfront water view then you will be in paradise. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was not greasy or too dry. It had a sufficient about of black beans and cheese and salsa. The home fries could use a little improvement; they are a little bland for me, still better than a lot of places. My boyfriend ordered the hash and he loved his meal as well. The inside is super small. It's no wonder they are always on a wait. They need to buy out the space next door or put more tables outside. The inside looks like a quant country kitchen. It has some personality to it but outside is where you (and everyone else) wants to be. The problem besides the wait is the service. Because these waitresses have either had it by 2pm or are just overwhelmed by the volume, you don't get good service. We were not in a hurry that day but it would have been nice to have our waters and coffees refilled more than once.
(4)Tiffany C.
Pretty good breakfast/lunch spot. Service was friendly, quick, and efficient. Large servings. I ordered the breakfast BELT which is a typical BLT with an egg. Served on sourdough bread with chips. Soooo good. The bacon was perfectly cooked. My husband ordered a typical pancakes with fried eggs, bacon and sausage platter. He said it was good, just average. I would definitely come back again if in the area. The views outback are very nice.
(3)Amy B.
Usually we go to Maggie Maes on the bluffs but since we were headed to thr beach anyways we decided to stop by this location and try it out. When we got there we wrote our name on thr list .. strange that no one was taking names but the system still seemed to work. We were seated in about 15 minutes which is pretty good since we didn't call ahead. They seemed to be pretty short on staff but the service was still decent. We didn't get there till about 12 so I decided to try lunch instead and I ordered the chicken tenders and fries and they were amazing like so so good the batter was perfect. I got buffalo sauce for dipping and it was seriously the best buffalo sauce ever. Brandon had the hill Billy tators as usual and he was impressed that the taste and quality was exactly the same as the other location. They did how ever run out of sweet tea!
(4)Mary A.
I have been coming to Clearwater for 10 years now and I am so glad that I found this jewel!!! If you want food that taste like your grandma cooked it. I have never had a bad meal here. Donna & Laura are amazing waitresses. This is a hidden treasure!
(5)Kimberly B.
Service was good and even though we had a large party the wait was not long. Excellent for breakfast and lunch.
(4)X M.
Delicious food at a great price. Read lots of reviews about bad service but we didn't experience that. TIP- call ahead and get your name on the waiting list. We arrived to a 10 minute wait while others arriving with us waited 40.
(5)Truthful T.
This is our weekend breakfast spot! I always sweet talk my husband into getting breakfast to go and its just as good as when you are there! Best biscuits and gravy, french toast comes with sliced almonds, and the hashbrown casserole is delicious. Very filling, satisfying, and flavorful. This place will stay our number one breakfast spot for a reason.
(5)John G.
"Had the Hillbilly Taters, made sure to add the jalapeño's, gives it a nice kick. The gravy was excellent and the biscuits soft. This was a solid 3.75. My wife had the corn beef hash, the real deal not out of a can. She would have liked it more if the corn beef portion was larger. I'm sure the staff would be happy to accommodate upon request. Would definitely come back and recommend.
(4)Jaramie B.
Awesome good and awesome prices! I'll be back there several times to visit and eat! The back porch had a beautiful Bay view.
(5)Dan G.
This place rocks! Hillbilly Tators are just the thing you need to indulge while on vacation proactively wrecking your hard worked on beach bod. We came here twice and loved it. There is a wait at times and the place has a small diner feel to it with a deck overlooking the water on the back. It is definitely worth the wait and a great meal, just make sure you bring a comfy swim suit for the rest of the day or trip :)
(5)Olivia G.
Nothing special. Came for brunch and got the big combo which included two eggs, two bacon, two pancakes and home fries. The eggs and bacon were fine but nothing out of the ordinary. The home fries were extremely bland; no amount of salt, pepper or ketchup could make them any better. The pancakes were alright but again- nothing special or worth raving about. The prices were, however, good for the amount of food you get. Service was slow initially. We were seated outside and then it seemed as if the host didn't tell the waitress she had new customers outside, because we waited about 15 minutes for our order to be taken, and it required us asking a waitress walking by if she could take our order. From that point on, the service was good, but it lacked initially. The back porch was nice and quiet and overlooks the water.
(3)Terry M.
If I was just basing my experience on food and service this would be 4 stars. Both were very good and the prices were very reasonable. But here's why I'm giving it two stars. When I walked in I noticed there was a deck outside with tables overlooking the water. So I asked if I could sit outside. The waitress seemed surprised but didn't object. While I was outside I noticed a number of birds landing nearby. When my food came more birds showed up. As I was eating I noticed some bird poop on one of the other chairs. Not very appetizing but not a shock either given the number of birds. I finished my breakfast, paid my tab and began to leave. Something (WAS NOT a little birdy) told me to duck in the men's restroom and check the back of my shirt. Sure enough, worst case scenario. The chair I had sat in had bird poop on it which was now on my shirt. So disgusting. Look I'm not from here. I see the water, and instinctively I want to sit outside enjoy the view. I didn't think to look at the chair back because when I first got there, there weren't any birds around. It would have made ALL the difference if the waitress had told me to be careful where I sat, or to check the chairs, or if they had a sign warning people to double check before they say down. I also think it would have been nearly impossible for the waitress not to have noticed what had happened to my shirt and while I can appreciate how awkward it would have been for her to say something to me I also think that it would have been the right thing to do. If I hadn't noticed it I would have also spread the bird poop to the leather seats of the rental car I was driving. So I guess the short version is that if you sit inside you'll get a decent meal at a good price. But if you sit outside... All bets are off.
(2)Shannon D.
My biggest complaint coming to clear water beach is decently priced breakfast. If you are stuck in the hotel, you pay nearly 20.00 for breakfast. It's good, but it's breakfast!! I love Maggie Mae, great pricing, that feel of a diner in a strip mall. Get to talk and know the wait staff.. Engage them and they are a lot of fun and really nice people. The food is good, the portions are pretty good sized. I visit from Colorado and I am always happy to go to Maggie Maes and I enjoy the service and the food!!
(4)Donna N.
Best breakfast in Clearwater!! The Hillbilly Potatoes is definitely something you should try.
(5)Melissa A.
Love Maggie's. We do brunch in one or their spots every week. Their diverse breakfast and lunch menu is awesome and the staff are great. Oh and the food is the best part of all!
(5)Sabena M.
We had lunch here on day 1 in Sand Key and breakfast on day 2. It is a short walk from the Sheraton Sand Key. Great value for the high quality food and friendly service. Modest prices. I had a beautiful chicken walnut salad in a cantaloupe bowl. Best melon I've had all summer and the chicken salad was delicious! Hard to eat though--I should have taken the version with the melon slices! Lesson learned. Sons chicken tenders were hand breaded (not out of a freezer bag from Tyson) and a very large serving. It is not often that this growing 15 year old boy can't finish a meal! Breakfast the next day was also delicious and set is up right for a day at Busch Gardens. Get there early (before 9) of you don't want to wait for a table at breakfast. It's a small place so you might be stuck waiting. Save your receipt for 10% dinner at Backwater's at the other end of the shopping center. Also a great meal for the money.
(5)StratSwede S.
This is a great little restaurant in an ideal location. If you are staying in Sandy Key, you won't find a better brunch option. The lines can be long, but the service and the food is very good. If the line is an issue, they offer carry out. The bananas foster was excellent. We also tried their tuna salad sandwich. It is made from fresh salmon and is very tasty. Definitely worth a visit.
(4)Ashlie E.
This place was fantastic! There was about a 30 minute wait, which we were fine with. Apparently you can call ahead of time, which is nice to know for next time. It's a smaller breakfast joint, but it doesn't feel crowded. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the standard egg, bacon, biscuit with gravy. My husband ordered their corned beef and hash. This is one of his favorite meals and he said theirs was the best he's ever had! We would definitely recommend this place!
(5)Michael C.
It's a decent cheap breakfast. Nothing spectacular. Nice but limited outdoor seating, good for watching the sunrise. Staff was very friendly.
(3)Marissa P.
This was such a great find!! It's in a hidden spot in a plaza but inside it has so much character. The food was amazing! It's southern style cooking. I ordered bananas foster french toast with maple rum syrup that was to die for. If I lived here I would be a regular!
(5)Mary S.
Great for families. Good choices in menu with an excellent price. I had the blueberry pancakes. They were delicious. Thick cut bacon was good but a little cold. Other than that the food was outstanding. Others with me had the croissant and egg sandwich, buttermilk pancakes, and the dads breakfast. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The best part? It was around $30!
(4)Maureen D.
I had the huevos rancheros. The only thing they actually cooked on this dish were the eggs. They microwaved the tortilla which made it chewy and inedible. They took some flavorless black beans from a can, poured them in a bowl, topped them with cheese and microwaved that too, yuck. I only had a couple of bites and didn't finish my food.
(1)John C.
We absolutely loved this place! The food was excellent and the service was down home. My wife and I had breakfast here twice on our last trip to Florida and Maggie Mae's is inexpensive, but delicious. We will be back!
(5)Razia A.
Nothing special about anything here. Food was ordinary. Service too. As for the scenery, anyone can walk on the back porch & enjoy the scenery. It is public property.
(2)Ifigeneia D.
Excellent choice for breakfast. Great variety, small and large dishes, and all very tasty. The service was great, and the outside area in the back, looking at the water adds a lot to the character of the place.
(5)Cody H.
Eh it was alright in every way. Food was okay, service was less than. Never got checked on once after food came. Had to get our own silverware. Not a bad experience by any means just a very blah one.
(3)James R.
Awesome great food little pricey, would go every day. The staff are very frendly too
(4)Selamawit M.
Great service. Good view of the beach, and the city. Average coffee and breakfast food. No wait. It was the best bang for my buck, considering that I wanted find a place on the fly where I could spend to spend time outdoors, with a view. I'd go back.
(3)Katy S.
I am not a breakfast person, nor am I a diner person and I'm giving Maggie Mae's 4 stars. That's how you know it is pretty delish. I was so impressed that I could eat breakfast overlooking the water and that was my very favorite part of Maggie Mae's. All of the dishes were divine. I ordered the turkey and egg white english muffin with a side of fruit. It was all so healthy and fresh! I really want to try the corn beef hash after seeing my co-worker's order. It looked SO good. Great spot for a tourist breakfast in CLW beach.
(4)A L.
We came to Clearwater to visit a friend with my young children and found this quaint spot with the most amazing views, on Google. The wait for the patio is worth the wait, just make sure it's early in the morning so you're not uncomfortably warm from the sun. The food is just like any regular breakfast place with the exception of the banana french toast, which is fatty but you can ask for the syrup on the side to distribute as much as you'd like. The coffee is great too! The staff is very accommodating and helpful. As long as you communicate politely to what you want, they will do their best to make sure you're pleased. Highly recommend it.
(4)Julie N.
We visited Maggie Mae's on recommendation from our hotel housekeeper. We showed up at prime brunch time and had about a 30 minute wait. This wasn't so bad, as we occupied ourselves with Dunkin' Donuts coffee and browsing around the neighboring shops. Plus if the line's this long, must be good right? When we were finally seated, our server was super polite and our orders came out quickly. I had the Almond French Toast and my friends had an Omelette and the Eggs Benedict. Portion sizes are pretty big and the quality of food was what you'd expect from a reliable, no-frills diner. The cons during this visit: Although the omelette should have been egg whites only, it definitely had egg yolk. Nbd though. When the server asked if we needed anything else upon delivering our plates, she must've really meant it because the only way to get her attention afterward was to wave her down. We came back the next day about an hour earlier, but still had a wait since it was Sunday brunch. This time around, we noticed that some of the waitresses were huffy and puffy when they saw how long the line was. One even gave my sister in law a nasty stare. Not cool. We waited it out, and the stare down happened to be our server. She seemed nice when we sat down, but when I asked for waters, she legit only brought out one glass for me. We had to request additional waters for the table. That was pretty weird. Anyway, we had 2 of the Big Combo and Mom's Best. Breakfast came out within minutes, and we all ate in silence as we cleared our plates. Similar to the previous server, we had to wave this one down for any kind of follow-up. Overall, food can't be beat for the price. We paid roughly $25 for 3, including tip each visit. There's plenty of silly and funny paraphernalia to keep things casual. I'm gonna chalk up the attitudes to the fact that this place always gets crowded (and for good reason).
(4)Jim C.
Solid beach breakfast standard. Located next to the Columbia Restaurant on Sand Key. Have indoor table and booth seating and outdoors tables overlooking Intercoastal Waterway. Inexpensive, opens at 7 am. Biscuits are really good and crispy - not gummy like a lot of places.
(3)Amy W.
Pretty good dine fare. Had the Corned beef hash. it was good. My hubs had the biscuits and gravy. Said they were good too. We went later on a Sunday- about 11:00 am . There was no wait at all. We had a table with a nice view of the intracoastal. I would come back here again. We had a good breakfast for a very good price. Service is OK, but then it is a diner. Good homey type food.
(3)Georgio K.
One of my favorite breakfast places near my house. The prices are cheap, but the food is anything but that. My favorite is the French toast, but their pancakes are delicious too. You can tell their eggs are real and not that crap that comes in a carton.
(5)Jessica F.
I loved our meal at Maggie Mae's. First, they serve Spam. Yes, I used to think Spam was disgusting but you spend enough time in Hawaii and it starts to grow on you. My daughter loved in her Spam, egg and cheese sandwich which was served on a good sized English muffin. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals and it carried it us through most of the day. The prices are great and with the quality of the food, it feels like a better deal than even the a McDonalds breakfast. The view of the bay is also quite nice. If you are in th area, I encourage you to head here. It isn't a huge place so try to get there earlier to beat the crowd.
(5)Douglas P.
Overall disappointed... Ordered breakfast in afternoon and judging by the temperature of the food, it was cooked in the morning. Everything was cold. I kind of figured that it was sitting in the kitchen for a while, as my waitress took her break on the deck. Only thing that was hot was the English muffin, mainly because I had to return my original because it was toasted, not grilled as requested. Overall not very good.
(2)Candace M.
This is not in Indian Rocks Beach so Yelp is wrong Food is average Prices are expensive For a place that just has breakfast & lunch you can't get pancakes after noon...what? Service terrible, hate a place that I have to search for the waitress for a coffee refill, they should be coming around filling your cups.
(2)Robert B.
Found this place while wrapping up a morning walk. Offered coffee while we waited for about 15-20 minutes foe a table. Well worth the wait. I ordered the half order eggs Benedict. Was more than ample for me and just under 5 bucks.
(4)Kathleen B.
Went here on our way out of clearwater. They were pretty busy, but the restaurant is not big as it is anyways. They have outdoor seating too. The views outside are beautiful. We saw a few jellyfish while we were waiting because we eat outside. There were 6 of us for breakfast. The wait staff was friendly but took a little long to get our food. Food was good. Pricing was decent.
(3)T B.
Breakfast Burrito & French Toast Grande Chicken Burrito, Club &Or Chicken Fingers Haven't done Dinner....
(4)Galt, J.
This is a review of their breakfast. I had pancakes and bacon. Simple food, done well. The service was attentive and friendly. Everything is super cheap. The inside is a little small, but they also have a few tables outside on a deck/patio overlooking the water. It looked like they were fairly popular, and people were piling in at the door as I left. Definitely a nice find, especially considering the area and the utter lack of good options on this side if Clearwater Beach.
(4)Fawn C.
I could eat here everyday! We found this place on our last day in Clearwater and it was perfect. Great food, great prices (we both ate breakfast for under 15.00) and the view is breathtaking! A must stop for breakfast or lunch...you may have to wait a bit but it's well worth it...weather permitting ask to sit outside!
(5)Alvaro Q.
I loved this place. Great food and for a breakfast place the menu is really good, and you can sit outside with a nice view to the bay (we saw some dolphins from the deck too!) We got the banana foster, the Benedict eggs, and pancakes, all really good. Will come back as soon as possible!
(5)Melissa M.
Had breakfast. A great spot for a relaxing meal. They have classic breakfast and lunch diner food but also fun "house specialties" like banana foster French toast and fried bologna breakfast sandwiches. A friend ordered healthy: egg white, turkey sausage sandwich and fruit bowl. Looked great!
(5)Warrick A.
This place is almost a locals secret- best food ever. Not expensive and the view spectacular , right on the ocean.
(5)Peter T.
Really rude terrible service. If you like having a condescending teenage waiter ruining your breakfast with his attitude then this is the place for you!
(1)Tommy E.
My wife and I just found Maggie Mae's by accident. We had Maggie's Mess and it was awesome! Great views outside on the water.
(5)Alison S.
While I was in Clearwater Beach, I drove over to Sand Key just to explore. Needed some breakfast to take to the beach so I stopped here and ordered the breakfast burrito. It was HUGE! It had eggs, cheese, bacon, black beans, tomatoes and there were jalapenos on the side. The waitress (who was very friendly) put adobo sauce, salsa and sour cream in little containers on the side. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thankfully she put in a knife & fork because there is no way you can pick this up! YUM! This appears to be a friendly neighborhood place. If I lived in the area it's a place I'd go to now & then. Only open for breakfast and lunch.
(4)Scott H.
With apologies in advance to Mr Stewart..Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you...It's late December and I should not really be standing in a windy cold parking lot for an hour...I know I'm keeping you amused,but I really feel like I'm being used..Oh Maggie I couldn't have waited anymore!!...in all seriousness if the wait in the off season is an hour++ for Breakfast, I have to imagine in season it must range from 2+ Hours to ,no way were waiting, were going to Waffle House Territory..in my never ending quest to find the nation's best corned beef hash the word around the grapevine was Maggie's had legit Corned Beef Hash, so I was determined to wait it out...after finally getting seated the best words to describe Maggie's are chaotic and hectic..the place was packed to the gills....people that were waiting to be seated or have their name called were standing in the cramped space everywhere...service was rushed and a little off/slow just because the poor girls are frankly overworked, so I am honestly giving them as a pass...once the food arrived though I have to say it was excellent...Corned Beef Hash was as good as advertised and it really is the best I have had in Tampa Bay...the only place I have found that actually makes it homemade and it is easily noticeable by the shredded non-uniform pieces of corned beef and the different sizes of potatoes...the standard food service corned beef everyone else uses all the pieces of corned beef and potatoes are the exact same size..as much as I liked the corned beef hash though, I thought the HillBilly Taters were even better...this was a concoction of potatoes..eggs..bacon..sausage..and onions..all covered in sausage gravy....heart attack on a plate I'm sure ,but Oh so good!!..another one of our party had the Eggs Benedict and said they were fantastic as well...I would definitely come here for the food a lot more often if not for the crowds and wait...one of the problems is Maggies inside only has one table that can seat more than 4 people, so if you come with more than 4 you are either waiting a long time for that table or you can choose to sit outside where you will have a great view of The Intercoastal ,but unfortunately probably be sitting in a wind tunnel while being attacked by birds..Maggie's only being open for Breakfast and a few Lunch Hours also probably has something to do with the constant crowds....personally Breakfast Food does not wow me enough to wait hours for it, even if you do have the best corned beef hash in Tampa, so Maggie you will have to find other patient Diners to keep you amused...5 Stars for food - 1 star for crowds and atmosphere make Maggies a solid 4 star joint..if you go just bring your patience with you and you will be rewarded in the end
(4)Jerry D.
Avoid this restaurant! Employees do not respect their customers. Keep driving down the beach where your business will be appreciated.

Breakfast was great. Wanted to find a good local place to relax and enjoy good good. This was it. Not to mention the great view that came with it for free. It's right on the water and has a great outdoor seating area. Just plan to wait a little bit to sit outside.

I have wanted to try this place for a while bc it's a breakfast place that actually has a water view. Finally checked it out, but one of the people in our group was afraid that the birds would scoop up our food, or sit on their head. We went inside to a pretty packed interior. It seemed a little bit older of a place, but it was okay. I had a breakfast burrito and it ended up better than I thought, and the price was unforgettable. Quite inexpensive. The service was great. The breakfast options were nothing extraordinary though, so that is why I gave it 3 stars! I'm still looking for my FL breakfast place. Still a challenge for me!

It may have been the fact that we were on vacation and in high spirits, but we had a fabulous experience at Maggie Mae's. Food was great and really affordable! We sat out on the deck and really enjoyed the view! Definitely a must visit for a low key breakfast when you're out in Clearwater!

Maggie Mae's is only a two minute walk from the Sheraton so my boyfriend and I decided to wander over for breakfast on Friday morning. It was packed at 10am on a Friday! The servers were so friendly and I loved hearing their lingo. The food took a while to come out but we didn't mind at all. We were having too much fun reading the signs that were hanging all over the walls. Of course I ordered the Eggs Benedict Arnold (half order). It was amazing! I never had sausage gravy before and I didn't know what to expect but it is delicious and addicting! My boyfriend, who took forever to decide, went with the Southern Country Breakfast. He definitely could NOT finish it. His plate was heaped with eggs, sausage, biscuits, pancakes and gravy. We also ordered a small Almond french toast which was to die for! Oh and their coffee was served hot and hit the spot.

FYI. Writing this over several days as it is next to our hotel. Will update with each visit, so will break it into paragraphs based on meal and day. So far I like it. Just went for lunch today, and the chicken florentine wrap and Philly steak sandwich were great. Awesome value. Will be going for breakfast soon. Hope to report back on that too. Went for breakfast. After the wonderful lunch the breakfast was a bit more underwhelming. The potatoes were cooked perfectly but had almost no seasoning on them. The biscuits and gravy were good, but once again seemed to be short on the seasoning. Not sure if I caught them at an off time, or they under season on purpose in order to please a larger audience. Value was still there, and the service was good. Old school "greasy-spoon" feel to the restaurant, one can sit at the counter and watch them cook it you would like.

Went here this morning for breakfast. The food and service was superb. I had the burrito and substituted potatoes in it for the black beans and tomatoes. It was delicious and was plenty of food. I highly recommend thus place and will definitely be back. Nice view of the water, too.

My visits (12/22/13 - 12/24/13) I stayed at the Sheraton Sand Key and Maggies is basically down the steet (walking distance). I experienced breakfast on 3 mornings and lunch once. The food was always good and the staff is always attentive. Taylor by far gets high marks from me. Its also nice that they have a hotspot so I was able to check my emails on my tablet and keep myself occupied (because I was alone). Breakfast: Pancakes disappointed but any egg dish was excellent - fair price - coffee always full. Lunch - a heart stopping burger (which the first one was given to another customer)....but Taylor was gracious about it and got me a replacement quickly. Overall I would recommend and when I'm back in town I'll be back for breakfast.
