This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
If you believe the deep-fried Mars bar is an urban myth, proof of its existence can be found at Maggie May’s, an indie/folky music venue and pub with a surprisingly civilised restaurant tucked away at the back of the bar. The crisply battered confectionery is a pleasant if artery-clogging treat, particularly as it’s served with quality ice-cream. It’s also an example of what Maggie’s kitchen can do pretty well – simple food like fishcakes, chicken breast or fillet of sea bass, whether grilled, seared or fried, are good, but more involved stuff, like a venison casserole or a cod and chickpea stew, are less successful. Still, you’re on safe ground with most of the menu, which focuses on burgers, pasta and salads. Service is friendly and efficient, making Maggie’s a decent choice to eat in a hurry – say before a gig, or a show at The Tron theatre just over the street. Prices are reasonable, too.
- High point: Friendly service and low prices
- Low point: Inconsistent cooking

Reviews of Maggie May's (60 Trongate, Glasgow)

Bloody great place...The best thing to ever come to the Trongate. Well done Maggies! I used to work in this trade and i bet the staff there get some hassle/complaints off the people that frequent this area. But once your in you quickly forget that your on the trongate. Great staff, great service....In this day in age, its easy to complain, but few people compliment. Maggies and its staff deserve great credit for the constant pursual of looking after the customer.

i came in recently for food with friends and before we had even ordered we looked around and the place looked quite frankly disgusting. It was dirty. So we left. Why would anyone want to eat amongst a dirty environment? If you have people cleaning remove there blindfolds or at least cut some eye-pieces in them.
