Maggie’s on the River

The food wasn’t bad. It was a good place to catch the NBA finals (Game 7). We walked in about 15 minutes before the game and none of the TVs had the game on but as soon as we mentioned it they changed the channels on about ¹⁄₃ of the TVs. Each table in the bar has its own TV which I thought was pretty awesome. The service wasn’t great. The server was nice, just not as attentive. She forgot to put our appetizer order in and when she brought the main entrée I asked about it and she quickly apologized and gave it to us for free which was cool, but it still would’ve been nice to have had it before our meal instead of after. We also had to get up once to order another beer from the bartender. Overall it honestly wasn’t too bad. No one was rude to us in any way, just busy I guess.

Slow, understaffed, appetizers came out the same time with meal. Waited over an hour from order to table. Wife wanted to try it one more time. This place is consistant at frustrating me!

Loved Maggies. Casual restaurant right on the river, overlooking kayakers doing rollovers in rapids below. Food was great! We had with wings, salads, pizza, and mac and cheese. All excellent! Great selection of beers on tap and local wines. Several food and drink specials. So relaxing after a day on the water.

This was our second visit. We don’t like in the area. The food was good. It was a Friday night we had a 45 minute wait. It was busy and a few minutes after we got there a fight almost broke out. Didnt see any men on staff so the girls were left to try to deal with it. Our wait was the biggest issue. Once we were seated no one came over to take our order for a while. We had to go get someone. Apparently the hostess forgot to tell the waitress we had been seated. We waited a while for our appetizers and then for our meals. If it wasnt for the wait issues I would have given 4 stars.

Only two stars. Reason being was I had real bad service. It was on a Friday and took them an hour to give me and my friends a table. After we were seated we had no waitress to come us, waited for more then 15mins and still nobody showed up. At that point I got up and went to the bar myself to order some drinks. When I showed up at my table the waitress was already their saying she didn’t know she had that table. Our food did show up fast though, then I ordered a pitcher of beer but it never showed minutes passed and still no beer it took about 15mins until I said I didn’t want the beer anymore. At that point she came back with it but I had already asked for my tab and requested to take it off, she said she couldn’t cause I had ordered it.

I absolutely love this place!!! I always receive great customer service! The staff is friendly. The only thing I recommend is that you order double shots in their drinks because they aren’t strong and I’m a light weight lol.

Great draft beer selection. Good sized menu and the food is decent. Food and beer is a bit expensive for the area but they have a solid atmosphere so I’m willing to spend an extra buck on my beer and food. Food is typical bar fare. It’s tasty and well prepared but don’t expect to reinvent the wheel here. Service is usually on the slower side.

Food was delicious, but service was not so good. Our appetizers came and we had no silverware, plates, or napkins. So if your looking for casual laid back atmosphere with no expectations this is the place. Like I said food was great.

Stopped in for lunch today and the burger I had was great. Great service from Jen. They had a lot of different kinds of beers to choose from and lots of tvs to watch. I would recommend this place if your looking for a good lunch and a couple drinks with friends in a sports bar type of place.

Stopped in after my shift at Samaritan. Got a burger and fries. Then it came. Holy Toledo! Now that my friends was one hell’va burger. Nice thick juicy meat, thick tomatoes, fresh lettuce and onion, and a grilled, buttered bun. Side of dill spear and an Adirondack India Pale Ale. #merica

Service was amazing here our waitress Jennifer was awesome knew the whole menu, beer selection was very long and she knew it as well. She was great .Good beer. Food was great definitely coming back

Definitely a nice change if you’re sick of all of the chain restaurants around Watertown. I honestly have not been disappointed yet with their food. Their menu is expansive (get the fried cheese curds for an app!) as is their drink menu– tons of beers on tap. It can get crowded on the weekends, but I’ve always been very pleased with the service. I love sitting on the back deck that overlooks the river for dinner during the warmer months.

Walking into the main entrance, I was not greeted by any attendant even though the sign said that I had to wait to be seated. Luckily, a worker was walking in the back door to come on shift and seated me. The menu choices are pretty decent for this place just being a bar or pub. I got some fried pickles for starters which were not terrible but the sauce was watery and the breading on the pickles was falling off. I don’t remember what I got for the main meal but I had no complaints there except for the marshmallow dip that came with the sweet potato fries. The dip container smelled like it had been reused because there was an overwhelming aroma of ranch or something similar. It was off putting so I didn’t touch the dip at all. When I finished and was ready for the check, the waitress was nowhere in sight for 20 minutes or so. I was just ready to get out of there at that point. Unfortunately in my experience, the negatives outweigh the positives but I wouldn’t consider this a bad establishment. Just bad circumstances.

Had our company Christmas party here and had a great time. Atmosphere was great and comfortable and the food was top notch. You’ve got to try the wings with your favorite sauce and the Bam bam shrimp was great too.

Decent food but every time we’ve been here they’re understaffed, less than friendly and the kitchen is super slow. We’ve given up hope after three visits. It’s sad, because the location is perfect for a great restaurant and could really boost its desirability if service was better.

Honestly, we tried this place due to lack of area knowledge options on Sat afternoon… but…let me say… this place was really great. Atmosphere was relaxed and unique… right on the river. Directions took us right to it… our waitress (Jenna) had to be one of the best we have had in quit some time. We travel all over the world.
Service is 5-​star, atmosphere is 4.5 with cool warehouse theme, significant other says the glaze for the Caprese should have been on the side, since it made for sticky eating… but was really good anyway (4stars)…The pickle spears were awesome, burger was top 3 in my book and the beer selection is thru the roof!
We WILL add this place as a travel favorite our next time thru the area. Thanks Maggie’s!

Very nice to spend an afternoon outside by the Black River. We ordered sweet potato fries and they were awesome. Waffle cut and fried in a trace of cornmeal and served w a donut glaze on side! Yum. There are 44 brews and a full bar. We had $ 3.00 beer pint size and a honey whiskey iced tea. Whats not to like. There is also a dash of history because the locale is in an old brick thermometer factory. They were able to accomodate my dog that was traveling w me! Yeah Watertown!

40+ beers on tap, decent outdoor seating watching whitewater rafters/​kayakers. Food: less than average pub fare.

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE.. EVER…
Over cooked chix tenders, under cook pizza. Wrong type of anchovies on pizza. Plus no interest or attempts to keep the large birds from eating unbussed tables…

Service was pretty good they were training a new waitress who was very nice.
We ordered the nachos as a beginner and they were good but cold they used a cheap chesse. Can’t warm them up without being soggy. Also ordered the Chipotle quesadillas, they were just ok but the grease was so intense it filled the whole bottom of the plate. Also ordered the loaded fries that never came. My fiancé’s food a buffalo chicken sandwich came out good but the French fries were not cooked.
The music was early 90s pop and rock and got turned off in the middle of our lunch
Tons of beer but they weren’t knowledgeable about each one.
Over all it was filling but wouldn’t eat here again.
