Magg's - Aliquippa

I celebrated my mother's 94th birthday at this restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was fantastic, and the food was outstanding. We all had a great time. Thank you to everyone!

Our waitress provided excellent service throughout the meal. However, I found the shrimp to be tough and overcooked, although I didn’t dwell on it at the time. After we finished eating, a man we assumed was the owner approached us to ask about our experience. He unexpectedly began discussing politics, asking if we watched Fox News, and made some highly inappropriate comments about babies in Israel, including a disturbing remark to my friend who had her 3-month-old with her, implying she should be grateful for her baby. This made for an incredibly uncomfortable situation, prompting us to leave immediately. To make matters worse, I ended up with food poisoning from the shrimp a few hours later, which was particularly unfortunate since I was visiting from out of town and had to travel home afterward. I would advise others to think twice before choosing this restaurant, given my concerns about food safety and the staff's behavior.

Nice setting. Only thing that would have made it better was a nice fireplace. Tried a orange dreamsicle. Served in a martini glass with an orange wedge. Drink was good but thought it would have a bolder taste or something. Maybe it was the oj they used. Calamari with a Thai chili sauce for the appetizer. Calamari rings were lightly breaded and flavored lightly with I believe just pepper but quite tasty. Crab bisque was delicious. Husband said the French Onion soup tasted ok, but looked better. Haha. I had the veal Marsala which was thinly sliced and cooked perfectly that you could cut it with your fork. Husband opted for the special of a petite filet and a lobster tail. He enjoyed his as well excepted he ordered medium and there was barely any pink. His came with a baked potato and server brings over this thing that has sour cream, bacon, butter, shallots bacon bits on it. You tell her what you want and she will put it on your potato. Dessert was a pecan ball with hot fudge caramel on the side. Tasted so good especially since we haven't had one in a long time.

I went here for Easter Brunch with my family. There were 8 of us. We had a reservation but still had to wait about 20 minutes. The food was very good! But that was the only positive thing that was going on there. We didn't have a waiter. After we went to the buffet and were half done with our food, the same crabby woman who sat us came and took our drink order. After someone else brought our drinks, we were then left alone for the rest of our meal. But what really killed me about that was our gratuity that was added was 47 dollars!!! For what? That's crazy! The desserts where served on plastic plates with plastic silverware. I didn't eat any dessert but my mother said it tasted like frozen cake that had been thawed. The coffee was self serve and paper cups where your only options. The man who was serving the carved meat was not happy nor should have been interacting with the customers because he was not approachable. When he slapped down my aunt rib eye steak, which my mother insists wasn't rib eye, he splattered her with juices and stained her dress shirt. To say my family wasn't impressed would be an understatement. If the price was in the 10-15 dollar range I would have found it very acceptable. But since it was some where between 25-30, I was offended by the plastic plates/silverware and the paper cups. I also saw another family I am friends with and they too were almost offended by the situation. Lastly, when we asked for our checks after flagging down our hostess/server we asked to split the bill. She very quickly snapped at us telling us she cant do that. Which to me wasn't a big deal, but it upset others in my party and the other family I had seen. What bothered me with the situation was how she snapped at us about it. And when my aunt asked why she basically yelled at her. We will not be going back for any kind of holiday meal. I have heard thought that it is a nice place to have a sandwich on the deck. I will try that because the décor and scenery where very nice.

This is a great spot for a delicious meal or a quick sandwich with a soda! I dropped by after a round of golf to satisfy my hunger. While the crowd was a bit on the older side, the couple next to us was friendly and enjoying themselves, which added to the atmosphere. The restaurant was getting busier, and the bar was packed. I ordered the crispy calamari with a Thai chili glaze, and it was amazing—full of flavor! Following that, I tried the Shrimp Diavolo flatbread, which was absolutely delicious!
