Reviews - Maugus

American, Delis, Vegetarian Friendly

Reviews summary

This beloved downtown Wellesley diner blends nostalgic counter-service charm with reliably excellent breakfast and lunch—coffee, pancakes and cooked-to-order plates draw regulars and celebrants alike. Staff are generally warm and hardworking, service can be quick, and parking is available behind the building. Occasional drawbacks include inconsistent service from a few servers, spotty food faults (bland fruit, rosemary-heavy homefries, small meat portions), occasional pricing concerns, and rare order mistakes promptly corrected. Overall, a long-standing town favorite for comfort meals.

Was Shayna Joyce at Maugus a mag?

The food was delightful, and we were seated promptly. Although we had to wait 45 minutes for our meals, and the service could have been better, we would definitely return! View all feedback.

Drove from nh for Kaplan joint center. Got in 1 hour early. Hit Google for restaurant near me. Found this place. It is a hidden jewel for cleanliness and quality of food.

I've been going here for years my grandfather and I go whenever he's in town, which has become quite the tradition. Recently, I brought my boyfriend for the first time, and he also loved it! The food and service are excellent. I really appreciate this restaurant and its staff!

I seriously mean it when I say that whenever I need a lift in life, I come here. Everything about this restaurant is simply fantastic. The food is prepared perfectly, the coffee and other drinks are top-notch, and the staff is consistently friendly. Out of the hundreds of times I've been here, there was only one occasion when my food—specifically a side of bacon—was burnt. Without hesitation, they took it back, provided me with a fresh batch, and did not charge me for the meal. They truly excel in every way, and I absolutely love this place. Thank you for everything!

My daughter and I love Diners and this is a classic. It is a repulsion in time with a counter and stands and sweet people who run it. We'll go here if she wants to meet at the campus for breakfast.

I’m not joking when I say that whenever I'm feeling a bit down in life, I come to this restaurant. Everything here is simply amazing. The food is cooked to perfection, the coffee and other drinks are excellent, and the staff is always incredibly friendly. Out of the countless times I’ve been here, there was only one occasion when my food—just one side of the bacon—was burnt. Without hesitation, they took it back, replaced it with a fresh batch, and didn’t charge me for the meal. They are exceptional in every sense of the word, and I truly love this place. Thank you for everything!

Discover another gem through Google Maps! I tried the beef shish kebabs, which were perfectly marinated and cooked to perfection—super tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries, which were delicious and not greasy at all. My wife had the Caesar salad, loaded with fresh Parmesan cheese and a delightful dressing. The service was friendly, and we appreciated the old-school family atmosphere.

Low key simple, wonderful place for breakfast or lunch. Been coming here with my dad since I was a little girl. The family who owns this place is truly kind warm/welcoming.
