Outdoor seating readily available but we both decided to dine inside. Small area yet served the purpose perfectly fine! Service was very cordial and accommodating. Delicious authentic Cuban sandwich. Enjoyed quality time with my sister. We both highly recommend to others and will return. I, personally, will return weekly for the Cuban sandwich, Tamarindo, and pastries, regardless of accompaniment.

As a Cuban, this is Abuela’s cooking. When I asked the nice woman at the counter that took my order if my mom was back there cooking before the food was on point, she said, ” no, it’s my mom”. Authentic, flavorful, and a new favorite.

Bonus of a trip to Florida is authentic Cuban food. Black beans & yellow rice, Empanadas, and a Cuban sandwich. Ah the things in life we miss. MAGGIES is top notch for sure. I highly recommend if you want Cuban food in Lake City, Florida you give them a try!

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.

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

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!

As a Cuban, I can honestly say Maggie’s Cuban Restaurant is phenomenal. The food tastes like home—authentic, fresh, and full of flavor, just the way it should be. Every dish feels homemade with real care, not like something you find in most restaurants. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the sides that remind me of my abuela’s kitchen, it’s the real deal.
If you’re looking for genuine Cuban food in Lake City, this is it. Warm hospitality, generous portions, and flavors that will make you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend to anyone—whether you grew up with Cuban food or are trying it for the first time, Maggie’s delivers the true experience.

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
