New Kudos is where Maggies used to be. I stopped by and was impressed. Of course this is off season so I will have to try again during the season and compare. I had a delicious homemade tasting grilled chicken sandwich that had a pleasing combination of roasted peppers, cheese, and spinach. Homemade taste has a history here and has... More

We were fans when this restaurant was Maggie's and decided to try it with the new ownership. We were VERY pleased. Visited for dinner 3 times during our vacation. Loved the menu selections. I had spaghetti and hubby had turkey each time. Delicious food served nice and hot. Warm rolls, too. Ate outside on the porch and it was lovely.... More

We ate breakfast here twice and had two very good meals with good service. I highly recommend the omelets and the cinnamon raisin French toast! Kids French toast was huge. The breakfast quesadilla is something to behold. Reasonably priced, too.

Finally, I found a chef who knows how to make soft scrambled eggs. They were perfect! Husband had the eggs and scrapple. We shared a large fruit. All very good. We ate here when it was Maggie's. She retired and the man who owns the Avalon Links Restaurant inland bought this and renamed it. And, there's free WiFi! Hostess will... More

We decided to try Avalon Family Grille for breakfast after having already been here for lunch. The food was very good for our table of 4. The only complaint we had was our service at our table. We waited a good 15 mins for our drinks which finally arrived right before our breakfast. Hopefully it was just a busy day!

Went to the Avalon Family Grille with our 4 kids just before closing time. When that's happened at other places, we've sometimes been looked at as if we were bringing the plague. The staff here welcomed us in and couldn't have been nicer. Everyone was pleased with their meals. Kids loved the french onion soup, and the chicken quesadillas were... More

We have had the pleasure of having weekend breakfasts at Maggies for a few years now and never thought of writing a review. Well it's time. If your travels bring you to Avalon NJ and its morning and you want the best breakfast - it's simple just go to Maggies everything fresh, cooked to order, and by far the best... More

Went to Maggie's over the weekend and was disappointed. Sometimes I don't always believe the reviewers are impartial. The pros are that it is in town and it has a nice deck on the main drag. That's where you should stop. The inside was extremely dated, like walking back into another era...We stood for a while...saw the "no whining" sign... More
