Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

Located in the heart of the Trongate, Maggie May’s is known predominantly as a lively music spot and bar. The restaurant at the back of the venue offers ‘a wide variety of dishes with a twist of Scottish influence’, and is a good option if you are after some reasonably priced food on a night out. The fish and chips are imaginatively served in a wire basket, which looks good but makes for difficult eating as the chips are buried at the bottom. There are some appealing deals on offer such as the market menu available from 5pm, where two courses cost £11.95, three courses £14.95. If you crave stodge before your first pint, choose from the 15 types of burgers ranging from the Firecracker packed full of jalapeño peppers, or the Spanish with grilled chorizo and cheddar. For pudding, it would be rude not to try the crisp fried Mars Bar with vanilla ice-cream (‘Somebody had to do it', states the menu – did they really?), the ultimate dieter’s nightmare.

  • High point: Crolla’s ice-cream served with desserts
  • Low point: The dining room is too dark
  • Number of wines sold by the glass: 12
  • Provides: Vegetarian options (at least ¼ main courses), Children's portions, Children's high chairs, Wheelchair access, Outdoor tables, Live music, Free wi-fi
  • Music on stereo: Indie Rock
  • Capacity: 50
  • Largest group: 65-75
  • Open since: 2006
  • House wine: £15.95 per bottle

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.
