Open since 1917 I would say that Maggie‘s is the most famous deli at the Farmers Market. It’s right in the center so it can get quite busy, but we were lucky enough to be first in line for our Saturday lunch. You order at the counter and then grab your food at the carving station. They don’t offer inside seating so it will have to be at one of the many tables strewn about the Farmers Market. Everything that we ordered was made pretty quickly but pricing is a bit more expensive than some other places close by, but you really do get a great quality sandwich in return. Parking at the Farmers Market is probably the hardest part, not so much in that they have limited spaces but after 90 minutes parking can get pretty expensive per hour. Just be mindful of time and if you plan to be out in less than 90 minutes, parking is free.
Being my first visit, I wanted to try their most famous sandwich which is the Corned Beef Reuben. I recently dined at Art’s Deli up in the valley and got the same sandwich and preferred this Maggie’s version a lot more. The meat is very juicy and the bread was perfectly toasty and overall the portion size was fair. Itt just had some great flavors. There are a few other places in town that I like even more, but it was a great version and I would happily order it again. I would definitely recommend to any sandwich or deli fan or to anyone who is visiting the Farmers Market and looking for a great...
Read moreDuring my visit to the Los Angeles Farmers Market, I stopped by Magee’s Kitchen, and it quickly became a highlight of my trip. This place is a true L.A. institution, and for good reason—they’ve been serving up classic deli fare for over 100 years, and it shows in the quality of their food.
I had The Norm, and wow, what a sandwich! It’s a perfectly piled Pastrami on Rye, topped with creamy coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and just the right amount of Thousand Island dressing. The pastrami was tender, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with just the right amount of fat for that classic deli flavor. The coleslaw added a crisp, refreshing crunch, and the tangy dressing brought it all together beautifully. The rye bread held up perfectly, with a slight chew and a toasty finish that made each bite satisfying.
The location inside the historic Farmers Market is unbeatable. There’s something nostalgic about grabbing a sandwich from Magee’s while soaking in the vintage charm of the market. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family.
If you’re a fan of old-school deli sandwiches, Magee’s Kitchen is a must. It’s one of those places that’s stood the test of time for a reason. I’ll definitely be back to try more, but for now, The Norm...
Read moreOrdered a to go order on 1/1/22 and once home i had someone else’s order that they handed to me. I called the restaurant and they apologized and said they would credit my account. After checking my account on 1/25 they never credited my account. They kept my money. I had made two separate attempts to get this credit and I was promised that it would be done. They didn’t. I tried calling again and every time I call they want my call to go to the kitchen to resolve. Why? Are you cooking and dealing with customer complaints? Seems odd. My only recourse was to dispute the charge with my card company because they were too busy cooking to handle this. It was just a bad experience all the way around. I went there to support the restaurant and they took advantage of my support. I have no clue if the food tastes good so I cannot give a review on the quality. But the management is very poor. They just wanted my money for nothing. It was only $45 but I’m not going to be...
