We stopped here for breakfast. It was delicious! Friendly staff, good food, and super cute country decor. The cows made us smile. This place makes you feel at home. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bite to eat if you are near the Waterloo thru way exit/entrance👍👍
The food is really good. I stop in just for the chicken parmesan and I tip generously--I even picked up the bill for a mother who had her hands full with two toddlers.I give it two stars because I have walked out twice of the five times I dined there.The service is inconsistent. I either sit at the counter or a booth. They give me my drink and then just forget about me. I have sat there for fifteen minutes and still no one even takes my order. They think just because I have a drink I am being taken care of. Besides the one waitress wore a distasteful pair of leggings.Ill be back because the food is good and maybe next time I will be lucky to have adequate service.
We used to love going to this diner but we just cant anymore. The last 3 times the food has been either cold or undercooked. This last time we went I ordered their famous burger and it was literally raw in the middle. They cooked me a new one and it was cooked but the meat tasted like it was going bad. Plus this burger used to be loaded with bacon and blue cheese but not anymore. Magee Diner is just to big of a disappointment anymore.
A little pricier then what Im accustomed to. Food was excellent, portions were quite large
Amazing place! Right off of the highway, prices were very cheap, food was delicious and the waitresses were extremely nice and personable. The resturaunt had a very cute aesthetic too. Cant ask for much more out of a small diner!
Sorry but the service was bad . Last time going there.The food was just ok. We thought it was going to be good due to the reviews and there ad online .They had nothing homemade as advertised online.First the waitress totally Ignore us for about 15 minutes or so Before she even brought us anything to drink. The food was OK I had a Belgium waffle which was OK my wife just had eggs and and home fries and she barely touched her food because it tasted Greasy . The waitress brought the food and never came back again. Had to go to the counter to get our check.
Country dinning at its best. The service and food was excellent. Prices fair. Just a half mile from the Del Lago resort and casino. If you want breakfast and quick lunch from the resort this is the place. Will be going back.
Waitress with a bad attitude. Hurry and give me your order, I have something else to do. Literally dropped the menus, coffee and never returned. I can not remember walking out of a restaurant but I did today. 45 minutes later the second waitress confirmed our order was never turned in. Seems out of towners are not welcomed here, just a locals only place. Wait staff never came to check on us, walked around so not to make eye contact with us. Avoided us completely. Dont worry, Ill never be back.
We just stumbled upon this place looking for a Tim Hortons for coffee on our ride home. So glad we did. We saw friends we met at the Engelbert concert and the food was good ol home cooked. Very delicious!! Waitress was so pleasant & friendly....cant remember her name.
Popular with three-one-fivers, but didnt check any boxes for me. The place is sorely in need of a makeover. Waitstaff not particularly friendly or sharp. Prices right up there. Food plentiful.
Family owned diner and has great selection of daily specials as well as items on the menus. Food is delicious. Definitely recommend to others to try if in the area.
Great diner right off the highway. As is the case lately with many small businesses, they are a bit understaffed. Slightly longer than expected wait times are the norm these days. Both waitresses on duty were HUSTLING but kept smiling.
Prices kind of high, fries were over cooked, greasy and even for a country style restaurant, the presentation was pretty lacking. Quesadilla tasted good, but was pretty greasy too. Do not live in area, so thankfully we will never have the need to go back.
Throughly enjoyed our visit on Memorial Day with friends. Perfect place to meet half way from Rochester and Syracuse, right near Thruway exit. Food was yummy with generous portions and our server Kim was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Well be back. 😊
This is such a nice place, a Homey feel. Great food for a great price. Service was great, we had Kim as our server, and she was amazing. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Next time Ill have to come in for dinner.
Hot turkey sandwich was delicious and large. Coffee is really good. Staff was friendly and totally enjoyed the time with my family there for lunch.
Great dinner! Friendly staff and delicious food. Will go back again and would definitely recommend to others.
Decided to stop for lunch, great customer service, homemade Mac and cheese 10/10, had a huge blt club delicious and ended with an out of this world strawberry Shortcake for dessert. This will definitely be a regular stop when traveling thru
Great home cooked food for a reasonable price and very friendly staff. Would definitely go back when we are in the area.
In love with this place, great food. We were a group of 6 and ordered this feast :) Huge portions, friendly staff and decent prices...will go back again and again...
Plenty on your plate!! Very good food and friendly service. Two hungry man, an everything omlett and a country sausage gravy omlett. We were all very pleased. Well worth the stop. Right off Exit 41 off the 90.
As a trucker I’ve long been aware of this diner… and as a former restaurant operator I’ve noted that it always looks busy. So I convinced my wife to take a 50-mile drive with me to try it out. The food was perfectly okay, but our experience was ruined when we were greeted by a nasty and hostile woman making bogus legal claims about mask-wearing. As we ate, we overheard her loudly and profanely complaining about customers. OUR waitress was great and we tipped her generously, but we will never go back.
Are 1st time eating out at a restaurant post Co vid reopening we were surprised very few people inside on the 4th of JulyWe ordered are fish dinners and they were delivered to are table 5 minutes later smoked BbQ ribs and chicken also availableFresh Haddock beer bater was the best I had in a long time awesome
Very friendly waitresses, fast service and delicious food with generous portions.
Went to have breakfast. Terrible terrible. Asked for hard fried eggs they came out not only once but twice runny. The home fries were so burnt and cold you could not eat them. The tomato soup was gross but still charged. Ok I ordered it so whatever. The waitress was a bit rude. Two of us plus a 3 yr old. Didn’t eat much. Didn’t offer more to drink.
Loved the food and banter... Only place in America you can get harassed and feel even more welcome.... The serving staff only out does the cooking staff because you actually meet the servers... Id give it five more stars if I could
Delicious diner fare, make sure you get in early good food at good prices but busy as heck.
Quick service, I had the clam basket and it was pretty...meh😐. Friendly staff, clean looking place. Countryish cow-oriented decor style. My wife liked her loaded skins and tomato soup.
Great food great place nice comfortable setting first time going and I definitely enjoyed it. The waitress Kay was great that you
Very burnt inside my chicken ceaser wrap, very dry, no sauce, all I taste was char. Completely lost my appetite after first bite. Thought side of ranch would help..I was wrong. Actually got sick after the second bite....I regret swallowing. Now Im dealing with a fever and stomach pains..... although my family got the specials and theres came out great nothing wrong with it. Lucky them..
This was our first time there, the food was good, the staff was very friendly. The only down side was it was so cold in there. There is nothing blocking the tables from the winter breeze everytime someone comes in or out.
Their food is usually really good. A few times I’ve eaten here they served me really burnt food. Breakfast is great! I was so so so disappointed tonight. The main reason that I eat here is because of the raspberry cobbler (which is my favorite dessert specifically from here. It’s to die for) and they didn’t even have it!! On top of that, they have great chili but no cornbread!?
Great food, generous servings. Friendly staff. Wonderful place to meet and eat with friends.
Well didnt get a chance to eat there there were more than 5 open tables sat there for fifteen still didnt get seated so I decided not to eat there and go someplace else ridiculous when they have open tables and they dont seat you dont know whos running this place but it seems kind of stupid that open tables and not seat people in them
Huge menu full of delicious hearty meals. Spacious, friendly and comfortable. But zero points in the bathroom. The urinal is plasticized because its not working and all of the plumbing is exposed to the only toilet. Nor was it well lit. Hopefully they renovate before I return.
We were finishing up our weekend at Cayuga and decided to stop in for breakfast. GLAD WE DID! Reminded me of a diner growing up with my grand parents....Being a southern boy, I couldnt pass up the biscuits and gravy with a side of hash browns....deeliiicious! Hidden gem...
Food was Delish!! Homemade food ..lots of options..pig wings were very tasty (a ,tad overcooked) delicious messy burger..service was slow. But worth the wait
Delicious home cooked food! Much better than a fast food chain.
Awesome food. The prime rib was great, corn bread, baked beans, raspberry cobbler oh so yummy
Incredible food! Might not look like much from the outside but definitely worth the stop!! The cornbread is to die for
Service was quick and friendly. Food was delicious and a good value. I would highly recommend eating here.
Great family style diner with all your favorite meals. (For those who love the cow motif, this place is for you!) Note: at lunchtime, this is not a quick in and out place to eat.
Great food. Much better than what you can get at any fast food place.
We love this diner. Food is delicious and service was great. Loved the decor
Cozy diner thats well decorated. Busy but the staff does a great job serving you. Breakfast food was great and had good portions!
Great place when you want to relax and enjoy your meal.Food was plentiful and serves was so kind.Thruway exit 41
Great food! Great price, large portions and best waitress!
Unreasonably expensive given food quality. Burger undercooked and club sandwich toast was burnt. Fries were good. The Service was fine and food came fast but there was a long wait for a table although the restaurant was empty and then we asked for a booth but were given a table in the center of the room although there were a few booths open. snappy, rude, mean manager.
Food and service were good - great quiet local diner feel
Great food. Prices are a but steep and no smiles
Great food! Country themed decor inside, which is very nice. Prices are good also!Service was excellent.
Stopped in for some comfort food, it was very busy in there, but we didn’t wait long. Our waitress was Ciera (Spelling?). She was awesome, fast, made all of us laugh and was patient with my father in law who is extremely particular with his order. When we come back next year I hope she’s still there!
The food was cold. Potatoes were cold and overcooked. Toast was soggy. I had coffee and was not asked if I would like anymore. Waitress was a little rude. I will make sure to tell people to dont waste your money and go somewhere else to eat.
Friendly service and clean establishment but the food was adequate. Fries nice and hot but my tuna sandwich was mostly mayo and celery. My husbands Rueben was dry. My sons dessert was good. Overall ok experience.
We have driven by many times but decided to try it for the first time today. We got seated right away. Our waitress was friendly and seemed to be working very hard to get everyone taken care of. The omelettes were good but the pancakes were all really dark and just not good. I even asked for mine light. The other waitresses didn’t seem like they were very happy when customers came in. Maybe they are tired out from being short staffed? Either way they seem burnt out.
We love this place it is one of the few places here you can get a great meal!
A nice find. A good Diner, busy which is always a good sign. Will go back when we pass that way again.
Plates were chipped, spreading bacteria. Eggs were under cooked . Called manager with no response
Weve been eating here for years the food is always good. This past time the prices have gone up so much that we wont be gong back. Example...an (1)egg, cheese and sausage on a bagel was $10 plus we had to pay extra for the bagel thats crazy.
Old diner, but those are the ones that have great food. Breakfast was great and service was fast. The only complaint was the flies that were flying around us as we tried to eat. If you like cow decorations, they have them all over the place.
I so badly want to enjoy your restaurant. I love the esthetics. The atmosphere and service is great. Unfortunately, the food isnt great. Its just okay. Breakfast was meh. Dinner was alright. Not the most flavorful fish. Food was quickly delivered. Family friendly.
Food was good 👍🏽Wait staff was friendlyA bit crowded but great atmosphere
We loved this place! Country home charm inside. Bonnie greeted us and we promptly went on a waiting list. That always tells me the food and the service is worth the wait! It was their lunch rush. We didnt wait long at all. The food was perfect. The staff was friendly. The bathrooms were clean. Everyone we saw going in and out were so friendly too. Right off the thruway. We will be back!
Good food and great location! Right off the thru -way.
Id give this a zero if I could...went there had horrible service,food was not good ,still paid and left. No biggie it happens. Got home and the waitress added more to my debit card then I left. I contacted the owner who apologized and said hed refund the $. After weeks of a runaround he started to not respond to my messages. Its been months and I still havent received my money back. Thats fraud! I would never go back and because I gave the owner multiple chances to correct this since he didnt I will let everyone know about my experience.
We stopped here after our trip to the outlets for back to school shopping. We wanted to check out the little diner. The day we were there they were having an issue with the credit card machine. They did tty to advise people but not everyone was told. We were not told but luckily we did have cash on hand. the food was good. Portions were big! Overall i would go again.
Food was delicious. Home made everything.
Prime rib was incredibly salty, overseasoned, not slow cooked, dry.
It was good way too much food!
Neatly decorated diner. I ordered the bbq chicken which came with corn bread and bbq beans. It was delicious. Theres a notice out front that the restuarant is short staffed and may result in a delay. The staff were welcoming and friendly. One waitress humorously challenged me to a rap off contest.
This place is straight out of a movie. A perfect stop for a hearty meal and warmth. ☺️Loved their quesadilla and tomato soup. ☺️
Cute little restaurant right off the thruway. Great food!
The servers are very unfriendly and they have terrible manners. They take the enjoyment out of eating out.
Was driving all day and came upon this small town restaurant at almost past dinner. The waitress was awesome. The food was great. We absolutely enjoyed our experience there. If we find ourselves driving thru the area again, it will be a planned meal stop.
I was happy to see a sit down restaurant where I could find breakfast. The booths were just planks of wood, on the seat and the back. It was quite uncomfortable. The hashbrowns were soft. Not a big fan. Food was ok, and on the expensive side.
We had a wonderful get together. The food was great .we reccomend this dinner for large or small groups . All ready talking of having a family CHRISTMAS dinner here. Thank you
Love this place!! Home cooked meals all day. Fabulous staff. Make sure to try the meat loaf.
Food was ok. Staff was super friendly. I expected better flavor from there sausage gravy. Highly reviewed so I thought why not give this place a try. Maybe its me? Not impressed with anything we were served.
Food is beyond disgusting, cold not cooked as asked. Making more excuses why they cant complete your order, because it would talk to long to cook. Staff excluding Jessica, is horrendous. Including the full staff was talking about and disrespectful about another customer, while others were still in the establishment. This would explain why they are selling. Not impressed and we wont be back!!!
Customer service was great. Went there 5 minutes before they closed, and they still served us. We offered to go somewhere else and they said nope. Stay and eat.
Really good food and service. Nice people. You have to try it
The food is so good. And they give you a lot for the price. And they updated some decor.
Great diner. Stumbled onto this spot leaving SYR for Watkins Glen. Chose it for breakfast on the return to the airport. Great food and service each time. The everything omelette was my favorite.
I had the roast beef club sandwich which was high quality. My friend had corn bread (with BBQ ribs) that was more like dessert, it had apple pie filling on top...really good.
Good food, well maintained diner, and very pleasant and attentive staff - but not intrusive.
I stopped on my way home from niagra falls...I could tell that they were not used to having many people which was sad because the restaurantwas half empty... I will say that it wasnt worth the money and the infamous cornbread that I was so excited to get was extremely disappointing it was brown and tasted like spiced cake or carrot cake without the carrots or cream cheese frosting.... my partner and I were extremely disappointed. Especially when he Google photos of the cornbread and it usually looks like cornbread.... the food was mediocre at best. .. they need to hire staff that knows something more than hi someone will be with u shortly I cant do that Im sorry this was the ladys response to taking a name on a waitlist for seating, answering calls, taking an order, or answering any questions to he honest Im not sure what she did know
It was an ok meal not the best Ive had from there though
Potato skins with sour cream and chives were over done, macaroni and cheese was good. Strawberry shortcake was good, the wait person we had was great personable, kind.Water was served in a plastic glass that was so chewed up on the rim, I was worried it was unsafe.
The food was good, the wait was a little long. The blueberry pancakes were very good as was my country sausage omelette.
Fantastic breakfast place located at a major crossroads in the Finger Lakes, nothing fancy, great food, good service and a great place to meet friends.
My bread was burnt to a crisp so it didnt taste that good but they gave me the whole sandwich for free so there are a wonderful place and its only first time out of US 20 times that weve been there. That it was bad...
Great meals great people. Will be coming back.
Stopped here with my wife and son before hitting the Waterloo Outlet Mall. Heard by word of mouth how good this place is. In spite of all this pandemic nonsense, the staff is doing everything possible to accommodate their customers.Warm inviting staff, good hot fresh food, reasonable prices. I judge a breakfast place on their sausage biscuits and gravy; and Magee Country Diner delivers!I recommend a stop over if youre in the area.
Magee is a very cute and clean restaurant. The food is fair. Very bland chicken tenders and fries for almost $12.00. Try a hamburger if you go. Stopped by for lunch on my way back to Rochester. .
Great food, service and prices. Great for a home cooked meal without the hassle of cooking dinner yourself and you dont have to clean up.
The food was ok. Waitress we had was very rude to the point I had to say something to her, she then had someone else wait on us and continued to be rude. I have waitressed in my past so I do understand how it can be, however her demeanor to us 4 older women was uncalled for.Never an apology from her even once I said something to her.
The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. The fries had been definitely sitting around for while prior to eating. They were cold. For over $3 as a side instead of chips they should have been hot. He bread on the grilled sandwich was burned.. Ive always wanted to try McGee out over the years and after a very long not so good day we did..... we will pribably not be back.
Stopped here for an early dinner as me and my companion love the small time diners, plus love to help locally in this trying time, the hostess seemed annoyed when we first got there, however our waitress Jamie was terrific! She was very attentive and friendly and gave us great recommendations! I definitely recommend this country diner!
Good atmosphere. Good place to stop off the I-90. Well priced for the amount of food. Waitress was very friendly, and order was brought quickly. Ribs were good, even without sauce, but a few were cold at the center. Not room temperature, but refrigerator cold.
Always a good meal!! Their breakfast is awesome and is served until 2PM daily. Their Strawberry Shortcake is my favorite dessert and served on a homemade biscuit. They put on an addition to accommodate larger parties which is nice, since the main part could only hold one party of 6 or more. Extremely busy on Sunday mornings. They do take reservations. Conveniently located right off the NYS thruway.
Food was typical delicious diner cooking. waitresses were busy so service was little slow which was expected, but they never came to check on us after we got our food. took 15mins just to get our check
We discovered this cozy diner by chance on our way back from niagara falls to New York City. We really wanted to eat in an authentic Highway Diner once. Food was great. Service very nice. Everything is really cozy and absolutely authentic. Definitely worth a stop.Simon and Dani from Germany.
Wonderful place to eat. Food was excellent. Staff was excellent. We really enjoyed our time in tje area. Lots to see and do.
Stumbled upon this diner by chance while on our trip around Seneca lake. My husband ordered a burger & I got the Pig wing platter. Never in my life have I heard of pig wings, nonetheless deep fried!! These are to die for! One of the sauce options is their homemade sweet & sour, the only con is they do not sale it by the jar! I would have bought several to stock up. Good sweet country cornbread too! Our waitress was exceptional! Excellent service, which is hard to find. Would travel to eat here again. Highly recommend.
Good garlic fries. Bun kinda tough.
I usually go in the evening. I am knitting a green sweater and the staff is usually fantastic. However, I showed up for lunch today and the service was terrible. The hostess acted like she was bothered by my presence; my waitress was very inattentive and after 25 minutes waiting for a cheeseburger that still did not arrive--I left. I usually tip $10 because I try to help where I am able because so many people have been out of work. Its a different place at dinner. She never even asked me if I wanted to hear the specials. My waitress at night has twins and she is fantastic.
Ordered their sausage gravy and biscuits. It was fantastic. Gravy wasnt too thick or overly runny and the biscuits were light and fluffy. Staff personnel were very friendly and accommodating. It is a clean place with a comfortable atmosphere. My wife, kids, and I will add this place as a regular spot for us.
I had to wait for a table about 10 minutes only to find around the corner was about 6 tables clean and ready to go. Service was bad, all I heard any of the staff do was complain the whole time I was there. A long wait for the food, guessing about 30 minutes. Food was excellent though. A little expensive too but not extraordinarly so
Raw bacon, overcooked hash browns, wrong orders. Overpriced for not so good breakfastHave to add, the owner was very nice and took money off our bill.
Stopped for breakfast on our way home from a wine tasting weekend. I had the BEST blueberry pancakes ever! Hubby raved about the home fries and the huge omelet too. Great place for a honestly breakfast.
What a quaint little diner! My wife and I had lunch here on our road trip home! The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and kind.
Homemade bread, huge omelettes, best homemade cinnamon rolls Ive ever tasted, like melt in your mouth delicious, all the staff is extremely friendly, the customers are friendly.. the entire vibe is wonderful, warm and homey. Nice place to relax and eat. Theyre wasnt a huge wait either and they were packed!
That was my (1)st time but certainly not my last time visiting Magee Country Diner. The service was very pleasant. There was ample parking for the customers also. I ordered eggs and corn beef hash. The food was delicious too.
Very nice area bring a cushion bench hard
Great place to eat at..We ordered Rubins for lunch and the waitress made us fresh decaf coffee! We also ordered the Rasberry Cobbler to share, not knowing that it was served warm, with ice cream and whipped cream on top! Everything was delicious!! Thank you!!
Crazy busy place on a Friday night! But we didnt wait long(party of 7) and I have to say the pot roast dinner was very nice. Great menu options, and our server was fantastic. Seating is close yet everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Just plain good diner food.
The service was nice the food was not very good.
This place really did an excellent job accommodating a large party of 20 with short notice. I did not hear one bad thing from anyone in our party. The food was excellent and served quickly. The staff was attentive to us and everyone in the restaurant. I cant say enough about this place I had the cheeseburger wrap which was very good.
Ordered over easy eggs received over hard. Bacon was paper thin , very short and only 3 pieces. Waitress was good though.
Nice, country atmosphere! Food is great, eat here whenever traveling along the thruway. Staff here is always on top of things.
Food was great, service was great, long wait for a table. Place was very busy.
Definitely excellent service today. Breakfast was awesome ! Never disappointed. Employees very friendly, courteous. On a scale of 1-10 ... At least a 12 ! !
Warm, friendly diner. Great job distancing tables. Wonderful, fast service. More food than you can eat! Great menu, you will find it hard to choose your meal. Super location too.
Everything was pretty slow, food was ok but nothing more than that, the waitress was nice but it took a very long wait to get even hot sauce and a new plateVery disappointing after reading the reviews.
Excellent portions, good food
The Magee Diner is a staple for the area. Anyone who is local knows this is an excellent place, with wonderful staff and amazing comfort food style cooking. The decor is very welcoming, it feels like your eating at your grandmothers. When we went there, the place was packed nearly out the door but its worth the wait because the quality of food here is exceptional. If you are in the area, I highly recommend a stop here. Im fairly certain you wont regret this small town stop with delicious food. & Please remember to tip your waitress, those ladies work very hard with a smile.
This diner is charming. Love the decor. Its clean, and the food is delicious . This is a great choice if your in the Waterloo area !!!!!
Excellent food at great prices. Our waitress was pleasant, quick and very polite. Definitely a great place to eat with a home town feeling.
I like this place, its good. Our waitress forgot to put our order in and it was Easter Sunday so we had places to be. When she realized this she did quickly put our order in and couldnt apologize enough. She was sweet. I would have taken maybe the coffee off the bill for the inconvenience 🥴. Ill return again!
Love going here on our trips. The waitresses treat you like family. The food is always good.
The food is delicious. I loved it
A local establishment and it has fantastic food
The food was great and the staff were friendly. Even thou they were busy we only had to wait 10 minutes for a table. Portion are huge!
Stopped in to grab a cheeseburger before getting on the thruway. Not sure what they gave me, but it certainly didnt taste like a cheeseburger. And, the french fries were not cooked long enough. I ate at this diner 2 years ago and it was amazing, so Im not sure what happened this time.
If you are looking for fancy, this isnt your place, but if you want friendly service, good food and reasonable prices, youll love it! Excellent Mac and cheese!
Just average. Waited 5 minutes even before a waitress would acknowledge my wife and I. When we were acknowledged, the waitress was pretty gruff stating Were full, you need to take a seat No pleasantness at all. The food was served quickly (hot sandwiches) and was OK, nothing special and nothing to complain about. This was a Saturday evening around 7 pm.
Been here few time and its been good. People are friendly, food are good and homemade. Always smells amazing as soon as you enter the place. Small place but got homey feel to it.
I expected more from a moms and pops. 20 bucks got the chicken fried steak meal, was 2 small steaks taste like they had been thawed, mash potatoes no flavor and was cold. Burger buns cheap, did not look like a burger bread, and it was small french fries looked like they were the last of the bag, you know the small ones. Coke was 3 bucks!! Our waitress was cool thou.
Next to CasinoWild waitress and big oatmealBegin food coma
Prime rib nightNice meal good service close to Casino stop at Magee everytime we go to the Casiono for a show
Yummy breakfast! Loved the corned beef hash and cheese omelet.
I really appreciate this restaurant in following covid-19 guidelines to the T. I felt very safe, well as safe as one could think they are. Coffee is good, thats always important to me. Waitress was very welcoming and the food was delicious. (Even IF the food would have been horrible the waitress would have made up for it) and no im not related to her, she was just that genuinely nice. So kudos to Magees Country Diner.
Great breakfast. Great service. Left full and 😊 happy
Great people, great food cant wait to come back here again. If my grandmother was still alive she would eat here every week. Good size meal portion and great flavor.
Homestyle diner. Food is always excellent.
People are very friendly with the atmosphere to match. I had a BLT with potato bacon soup. Way to much for me to eat. My man had the pecan waffle with sausage. Waffle was huge and the sausage was great. Very good... All the way around!
My girlfriend and I stopped here after shopping at the outlets all day. We were staying at del Lago and were very hungry after not eating since breakfast. The restaurant was very clean, following covid regulations. We both ordered the chicken parm and were very surprised by our meal when it was delivered to our table. It was 2 pieces of chicken parm that was to big for the platter it came on on top of a bed of spaghetti. We could have ordered 1 meal and split it and still would have left stuffed. The meal was delicious, the staff very friendly. I know when I am that way again I will be stopping at the Magee Diner. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to stop and eat.
I stopped here for a quick lunch. The service was great and the food was outstanding! I had the bacon cheeseburger, and wish I had tasted it before adding condiments. The flavor of the burger could stand alone without those extras!If you are driving on 90 through NYS and get to this area of the state, do yourself a favor and forget the rest stop food where youll pay extra for a dried up hockey puck disguised as a burger. Instead, get off at exit 41 and treat yourself to a real meal at this diner!
Food was delicious and plentiful. Waitress was excellent and really on her toes.prices were very reasonable.
One waitress handled 12 tables with efficient and pleasing service until co-workers arrived..cook was right on top of everything. Was tasty and a most pleasant breakfast! Kudos to an awesome waitress!!
Dont go out often, especially for breakfast. My sister-in-law and I came for a treat. Our potatoes were not cooked and almost all the food was cold! Two tables next to us were complaining, also.One even returned oatmeal because wasnt cooked and cold (wow). Then made comment let us know if need to microwave more.Highly disappointed
Cozy country diner with good food and friendly service.
The waitress was amazing. The food well. I only ate it because I was hungry and sent back once already. It was a dish that cost. With artichoke and chicken black olives mushrooms and onion. The chicken was over cooked to the point that it was hard. There wasnt any really sauce consitancy to it at all with little taste. My husband had a club sandwich. And Fries that was good. So I would stick to burgers and fries etc. When eating here.
Always go here when in the area. Great food and people, feels like family there. The sausage biscuits and gravy are the best I ever had. The dish is tasty and light, not heavy in your stomach. I been going there for over 20 yrs.
We have dropped in occasionally when in the area. Much better than chains. Friendly fast service. All day breakfast and their unique Deep Fried Pig Wings. A tad greasy but didn’t know what to expect? Quirky cow decor that makes the space interesting. Seating is hard benches so not a place you would hang out for an extended time.
We had just left the casino and wanted a quick bite. I am very glad we stopped at Magees! Both of us ordered the fish and chips and even though the dining room was 80% full the waitress quickly returned with our meal. It was delicious food and the fries were perfect. Nice large servings, I was impressed and satisfied with our quick stop. Next time I am in the area Magee County Diner is on my list of places to eat.
Randomly stopped here and had a great Rueben.
The restaurant was nice and clean, we only had to wait 2 mins to be seated.The food was excellent, and you got your moneys worth, I couldnt even eat all mine in a matter of fact I had to bring the rest of it home.The waitress was so kind and polite, she treated my mom and I really nice. My mom and I were at Waterloo Premium Outlet Mall so we did lunch at Maggies.Everytime we do are shopping thats were we have our lunch.I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.NICE JOB TO EVERYONE AT MAGGIES RESTURANT.THANK YOU ALL.TIM BABCOCK.(OSWEGO, NEW YORK)
Its a good place to eat. The food is good. They just struggle to keep cooks so the consistency of the food can vary. They are always hiring for cooks with a sign it seams. Better to eat here than the Iron Skillet at the Petro.
Great meat, quick service, friendly hosts! I love the burgers there. Their special salad dressing was amazing! I have dined there 4 times. Except for one time, food was always great.
Great little diner, fair prices.
Clam chowder and BLT, absolutely fantastic. Almost too much food, Waitress couldnt have been any better. A future stop again for sure!
Looking forward to my next visit! Stuffed pepper soup was fresh and tasty. Tried the pig wing platter with the homemade sweet and sour dipping sauce. Delicious! Rounded off the meal with a generous slice of lemon meringue pie and a hot coffee. I will be back!
The menu did not reflect accurately how a salad was made. We were told they just changed the type of lettuce used and the menu didnt state the new type yet. Not a big deal to many people but I ordered the salad BECAUSE of the type of lettuce the menu said. I was stared at like I had three heads when I mentioned this. Also, the waitress was not friendly to us at all, and glared at us when we asked for ice cream. Dont worry, waitress - we wont bother you again for a very long time.
Had to change my rating from 4 stars to 2 stars. Everything was great, food was delicious, waitress (Rachel) was awesome, but about 2 hours after eating I got very sick. This was the 1st time in my life I have gotten food poisoning. Was not a fun experience. Judging from other reviews, this was probably a fluke, but to be safe I will not be going back anytime soon.
First time having breakfast with the family. Loved it. Enormous portions of great family food. Fluffy pancakes, great eggs. Try the Amish raisin toast.
Food is great and the staff bust their collective buts to get everyone seated and served with less staff. Excellent work for all those that work there
Hands down the worst restaurant I have been to. Our app was supposed to be stuffed potato skins instead we got old baked potato cut in half with huge gobs of sour cream on them. My brother ordered the bacon cheeseburger witch he did not even eat it was so thin dry and overcooked I dont blame him. When we said something to our server Jessica she was very rude and would not come back to the table after that. Definitely the worst servive and the food was so bad we did not even eat it. But the check was still 68.40 they must mark up the prices for lack of business because as said,on multiple reviews a soda is over 3 dollars
Fast and friendly staff. Yummy food
2nd visit theyre always busy, good sign. Onion soup awesome.2 ND try was chile, nice quality not greasy, but for me a strange spice maybe cumin; might want to sample first, had mine to go.
We went for breakfast. Its pretty standard diner food. They have a lunch menu also. There were lots of cow themed decorations. Murals, mugs, and even a cow pumpkin for Halloween. My daughter loved that. Servers and other staff are friendly and helpful.
Nice sit down place with great food. They have everything here. From burgers to sandwiches to cheesecake, everything here is good and tastes great. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because it’s relatively small so sometimes there is a wait longer than expected.
They said to be patient because like most of the country theyre short on help,but the service was great! Food was Delicious!
Server is super friendly and helpful! Open early. Good food, farm style atmosphere. Menu has many options for you to choose from. And Jo...she is an incredible woman! Even if the food was bad (which it isnt, just try the pancakes!) she is worth the visit!
Awesome food, great atmosphere, very friendly waitresses
4 of us each had something different: bacon cheeseburger, chili & cornbread, baked Mac n cheese, and a mushroom Swiss burger. They were all fabulous!! Good prices, great servers.
Going to Magees is a pleasant combination of nostalgia and good food. Its an old-fashioned family restaurant with rustic touches. The servings are generous and the service is friendly. They make good comfort food -their mac and cheese is wonderful!
The food was ok. What really bothered me was how the Diner handled an incident. The waitress dropped a plate while serving my food. The plate she was carrying fell and broke in front of our table. One of the pieces hit me in the elbow it really hurt. She did apologize. They broken glass was not cleaned properly. The waitress only picked up the large pieces.We watched several customers walk over it.This included a senior woman with a walker. The table we sat at was under a leaking air duct. I had to move my plate so the water would not get in my food. They could of accommodated the bill. This could have easily turned into a legal matter if pursued. I could express my thoughts regarding the outside dining environment but I wont. Never again nor would I recommend.
Exclent food. large portions. Mayby a little pricey.
Good food, Great Service!!!
Having eaten here a couple times before, I was looking forward to my most recent visit. NOT disappointed. Five friends met me there for breakfast, on our way to an all day meeting. Everyone was pleased with the meal and the service.On our way home that evening, the person riding with me agreed that he would like to stop in for supper on our return trip. We enjoyed it every bit as much.They have recently replaced their tiny restrooms with new ones that could almost hold a squaredance. The new fixtures are great. We also enjoyed the cow atmosphere, the outstanding service and great food. I am already looking forward to my next visit to the Magee Country Diner.
The food is very good and generous servings, and desserts are fabulous - leave lots of room for the Strawberry Shortcake! Used to go every week for the Friday Fishfry, but since the new casino came in McGees upped their prices, though they still remain comparable to area eateries. My only criticism would be the waitstaff lack of more tidy and professional dress...the casual dresscode should be limited to the customers.
Service is excellent. Had the fish fry and the portions were big and well worth the money. Absolutely delicious. Looking forward to the next time we pass thru
The service was horrible. We were served a bowl of cold macaroni & cheese. I sat at the table and watched our food sit up in the window for approximately 4 or 5 minutes while our server was no where around. If thats the best you got, you can keep it. A waste of an hour & 45 minutes waiting on so so food & a 43.00 dollar bill! So disappointed. 😠
This is right next to the Petro and does better than the Iron Skillet.Try the special. It changes daily.
The Mac and cheese tasted great but really? 8 dollars for a small bowl? And 3.50 for a soda? The restaurant was cramped, they need to rearrange the tables for better traffic flow. The staff was nice enough but seemed a bit overwhelmed, they did say they were shorthanded.
Good stop for breakfast. Veggie omelet and toast was very good. More brocolli and fresh veggies in the omelet would have been better but still a verybgood breakfast. Server was great, cashier looked unhappy and was talking to a waitress and paid no attention to me.
Very good food and service!
Good food and service, just a bit chillyThe prices were very reasonable and serve was fast and attentive. My only complaint is that it was chilly in there. While they had a few space heaters on I kept my jacket on while I ate.

2022-06-16Stopped on our way home from Niagara Falls to Boston. Left Canada early 6am) to beat the lines at Customs so after a couple of hours into the ride home we were ready for breakfast. I had done a little research the night before and found Magee Country Diner might just fit the bill. Reviews were very good and it was easy on, easy off Rt. I90, so we decided to give it a try. We were glad we did. We were promptly greeted and seated. Our waitress was very pleasant and efficient. She took our drink orders first and the took breakfast orders from 4 gentleman seated near us. After putting their orders in she returned to us and the took our orders. No sooner had she put ours in did she return with the breakfast plates for the table next to us. We were pleased to see this as we were on the road and knew it meant we would not have to spend more time than we wanted to.Breakfast as expected came out quick and hot. In our group we had pancakes, a waffle, a bagel, poached eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage and a honey glazed cornbread. Breakfast did not disappoint. Everything was excellent. The cornbread was amazing, the best I’ve ever had. Bacon was very flavorful, although I would have like a little more. Home fries were good and eggs were poached exactly way I like them, soft not hard. Those with waffles, pancakes & bagels were very pleased with their selections. Magee’s has a really nice vibe. Very welcoming and homey. It has a country old time decor with some fun and interesting items to look at. I highly recommend Magee’s, especially if you are traveling through the area on the highway and wound like a great meal at a great price. My only regret about Magee’s is that I don’t live near it.

2021-07-24Wow! Just wow!!! Anything you get will definitely be delicious but you MUST try the honey glazed cornbread!!! Stayed in the area for a few days and came here each day for breakfast. The staff were all friendly and kind. They were super busy but the wait was reasonable and after you get in the food comes relatively fast! Would definitely go back!

I waited so long to go had to tell people I was with I would pay if we went and we got there they told us to wait and we waited at least 15 min and it was ALMOST empty! We were told to wait and nothing else people standing around and WORST part was a lady was at register another waitress came up and she goes “SHHH SHHH DONT TALK IM BUSY”! And it was VERY RUDE WAY!!!! We continued to wait but we were ignored so we decided to leave I WAS HUNGRY! and now 20 min passed!! Because of the RUDENESS I won’t go again! And I feel SORRY for the other workers that have to deal with that ladies EXTREME RUDENESS AND MEANNESS!!!

2021-07-07Our waitress was super nice. The food was good, but would have been better if it was all home cooked. It has a bottles gravy taste and the pies were several days old. A lot of fun decor.
