“Great service & good menu options! I’ll come back 😁😁😁“

“In town for a mini vacation and we were looking for something different than a chain restaurant. Maggie's has a wonderful large menu that includes traditional meals with a twist. I had traditional French toast with eggs and homemade sausage links. My son had a very delicious, very unique eggs Benedict dish made with carne asada. Will definitely go back when we're in the area. Very friendly!“

“Best ever breakfast! Large menu. Breakfast only! Reasonable priced. Great service. 💕“

“I never knew this place existed until today and I live next door. It popped up on UberEats. It’s delicious. I ordered the chipotle chicken wrap, pasta salad and Greek yogurt parfait. The wrap was massive. Everything was excellent. This will be lunch and dinner. Can’t wait to try more. Nowhere in San Diego will you find a giant, fresh, delicious wrap for $7.50. A hidden gem.

It’s at the first floor of a large corporate building. I’m glad I read other reviews on how to find it. When you pull in the parking lot, drive around the building to the left side/south of the building. It’s right in that door on your left.“

“Great vibes awesome food and the service was 👍🏼“

“Our first time here. My husband was trying to find somewhere near by to eat Brunch. He came across this place on Google. Let me tell you this place did not disappoint. Greeted right away and sat. We choose to sit inside but you can dine outside if available. Our server Jasmine came right away to our table and introduced herself plus brought water to our table. She then ask for any additional drink order right away. I had questions if nondiary was available for coffee and there were two choices. I did get to enjoy my coffee with almond milk. We order our food and it came out looking so delicious plus refreshly made. The service and atmosphere was great! If you are ever in the area definitely stop by to check it out!“

“The owner Judy is so nice & the staff are wonderful! They updated their menu recently to reflect new pricing. A gem of a place to eat in South Park!“

“The food is good, the people is really kindly and gave the best service that they can. But I don't know why they schedule just 1 people to attend!
I am a frequent customer at the mornings around 6 am to 7 am and always have only 1 people to get the dine in orders, to go orders, attend the customer, etc.. so even if they are very kindly it is imposible give a good service to the people because we have to wait 15 min yo get a standard breakfast sampler, and another 10 min to get the check and pay.
This is a high traffic restaurant in the morning due to the otay border so I suggest add 1 people more to attend the customer.“

“Staff is very friendly. Amazing food and amazing service! Rene is the best chef in town! Will be back again for sure! Highly recommend!“

“A perfect location for breakfast at the edge of the Fremont Experience. Clean restaurant with a modern diner vibe. Great service and food!“

“great place for breakfast. and found out they opened a new one somewhere here in texas.“

“I had the pleasure of dining here during a weekend getaway, and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere was intimate and charming, with soft lighting and great music. The duck confit was tender and flavorful, and the accompanying mashed sweet potatoes were a perfect match. The dessert menu was tempting, and I went with the crème brûlée, which was smooth and creamy with a perfectly caramelized top.“

“I had one of the most awesome crepe and cheesecake ever. Service was amazing and the nutella and strawberry cake was exquisite“

“Best food truck in San Diego..Emilios beltre sauce gives a great flavor to the food and the best sauce I have tried.. if you got a military id make sure to stop by naval base point loma to try some great food. Emilio and Yadhira would be there to give you an excellent customer service..“

“We visited fromTX and found this spot and we have to say the food was delicious and the coffee was so good . We chatted with the owner and just a nice guy . We were so impressed with this spot and sorry we didn’t get to eat there again but we did grab coffee again on the way out of San Diego. If you get a chance this is definitely a place to try if you’re in town.“

“Forage and Flame’s food is incredibly creative and delicious! Their attention to detail with food, ambience and decor at each and every event I’ve attended including the monthly Supper Club dinners, picnics and brunches is unrivaled. The presentation is always on point! Have made so many wonderful friends at the events and tons of memories. Can’t wait for the next dinner and all the holiday offerings!“

“Been waiting for my food for about an hour at this point. Other guests have been seated served and left already while we still wait on our order. We've asked and have been given no time estimate of when the food will arrive.

Update: got my food, carried to my room so we could eat while getting ready for the rest of the day. Food is ok. Steak was overcooked. The waitress was kind and sympathetic.

Update 2: day 2, service is still great. Atmosphere is the same of course. The food was actually really good even if it took a while yesterday. Might update the stars from 1 to more depending on how it goes!“

“Came to watch Serie del Caribe . Bartenders Charlie and Israel were very attentive. Drinks and food were delicious!!!! Environment super fun!!!! Totally recommend!“
