One of the coolest neighborhood bars I’ve been to in years. The employees couldn’t have been better. All the food is made fresh. Make sure you get the hot wheels with the raspberry habanero it will change your life.

This was originally the location of a place called Sambetti’s which I hadn’t gone to because I was probably too young but I did hear about it having an excellent grinder sandwich from my dad who grew up nearby. First of all it’s really a great place with a fun vibe. Unfortunately the city of Des Moines has been tearing up 2nd avenue for years now so it’s Always an obstacle course to deal with but once you’re there it’s well worth it and there is plenty of parking spaces. The first time I went with my girlfriend and we tried the ‘green elephant’ pesto pizza which we had heard about as being excellent and it really was. Our waitress was Kelsey and she was really fun. You could tell she loved her job. On another night I played in a band there & met the famous Maggie and she’s totally cool and has a great sense of humor. There’s a lot of interesting stuff on the walls and believe it or not a Led Zeppelin pinball machine (goodbye quarters)! All in all a great hang, great food and a great place for listening/dancing to live local music.

Maggie‘s was so much fun. I cannot wait to go back. The drinks were awesome and I had the Hawaiian pizza.

This was my first time ordering from Maggie’s, and I was not disappointed! The mozzarella sticks were huge, and the perfect combination of crispy outside and melty inside. The poppers are not spicy, but the flavor is perfection. I wasn’t sure about pesto and artichoke hearts on pizza, but it totally works. This restaurant will definitely be in my regul rotation from now on.

1st time here! Loved the dive bar vibe. Food was good. Philly and sausage sandwich. Fries tasted good but 98% were rock hard. Like legit overcooked maybe. Not good. Sat at the bar. Bartender was great. Clean bathrooms. Overall liked the place.

9/10/25 I ordered delivery and my order was Italian sausage sandwich with double patty. I ordered a side of onion rings. The sandwich was very good with melted cheese. The onion rings were great. Both items had great flavor. They have a good variety of menu items. I look forward to trying other items.

We stopped by mid afternoon for a late lunch. Got pizza and a few drinks. We’ve never been and were so suprised at the HUGE, loaded up pizza we got. Tons of toppings, didn’t take very long. If you see $25-27 for a pizza, just know the value is there . We live close by in Highland park and we will be back! (Sorry no pics this time because frankly we just dove right in). ❤️

Cold beer, good times! We stopped in for a drink and grabbed a couple tacos. My friend had the beef, I opted for the chorizo. We each had just one and it was a perfect size.
The vibe is chill and decor is throwback. With the all glass overhead garage doors- you get lots of natural light in … which is nice for lunch.
The music was on point when we stopped in. The servers were on their game and we will definitely be back
