“ Visiting an ole friend in Lake City , Florida took me to this little place for lunch. Mind me but this ain’t big at all but the food makes up for it ! We had to wait a bit for the food. After you get your 1st bite you’ll forget about the wait. Very friendly staff, very clean. I enjoy little places like this so can return Enjoy ”
“ Could a place in the middle of nowhere have amazing, authentic Cuban food?? YES!! The owner is a gem, and you can tell she makes everything with love!!! You are always a little hesitant going to a place like this because you aren't sure what you will find, but this is absolutely worth it! Everything was absolutely on point, and a good portion size ”
“ Maggie's is a small authentic eatery specializing in Latin home style Cuban cooking. We were greatest with a warm smile and helpful hints about the menu. The smells are enticing, and the display of desserts memorizing. We ordered (no hablar), roasted pork with plantains, black beans, and rice. We served hearty portions of succulent pork with amazing flavor. The plantains, black beans, and rice were a great side. You can't rush perfection. It took about fifteen minutes to get our food; it was definitely worth the wait. I won't try to describe the sweets; they are a sweet lovers delight. ”
“ Best food in Lake City! The Cuban sandwich and guava and cheese pastries were 10/10! My only complaint is that there's not one near our house in Jacksonville! I could literally eat here everyday! ”
“ Road trips always make me hungry but I don't like fast food. Thank goodness for Google Maps and reviews. Found Maggie's Place and will definitely be back next time we travel through FL. Had a Cuban sandwich today because we didn't have time to stop and sit. So delicious! Look forward to trying some of the specials in the future. A pleasure to find a local friendly business to enjoy. Thank you! ”
“ Stopped on Lake City and decided to have Cuban food for lunch and saw this restaurant. It was so worth the stop. The food is delicious. They give you a good sizable portion. My kids loved the cuban sandwich, rice and beans, and choripan. The lechon was really tender and had great flavor. The picadillo and the palomilla steak with the grilled onions was also delicious. You can take food to go or eat at the tables provided. The service is excellent. Lady was very nice and friendly. Super clean bathroom. Definitely worth it. If in the area, I would definitely come back to try other things on their menu. ”
“ This place is a hidden gem! I’ve been coming here to Lake City every six months since two years ago and I didn’t know anything about this place wasn’t even told about this place until today so I came by, lo and behold It’s an awesome place. It’s small but it’s awesome ! This is an authentic Cuban restaurant! Taste great! ”
“ Needed some comfort food that wasn't the usual. Maggie's place is it!!! Holy crap the food was delish and fresh. And the guava pastries hit the spot. Will be going again. The fried yucca has me hooked. I am not a plantains kinda person. ”
