I had the English Breakfast, it was good but it was missing hash browns and mushrooms. But overall it was good. The place is very authentic and the staff is very friendly.

Ohhh boy! Fantastic BUSY location in the heart of Liverpool centre. Bold street is full with restaurants and shops for all choices, really! We popped in this restaurant because we wanted something real English style food. You have to pay in advance of the service, by the counter (card/cash). Cosy little place. The lady by the till was nice and helpful. The lady who put (I would rather say thrown) the cutleries on the table was very rude (dark hair). How can they employ someone in the hospitality business who hates the customers and her job?! Food arrived pretty quick. The ‘famous’ Scouse - we ordered this food for our foreign friend. The food looked like a vegetable stew, tasteless, pale something. Terrible disappointment! The portion was tiny (and to be fair big enough of this something)… this food deserves 1 ⭐️ Roasted Gammon with egg and pineapple and coleslaw salad - food was piping hot (fantastic!). Gammon was tasty, with a slice of cheap tinned pineapple. Coleslaw was tasty - just wondering if it was homemade or ready made (from a warehouse’s shelf). All day English breakfast - 7 out of 10. Wasn’t any special add on 🤷🏻‍♂️ They should (and I’m sure they could!) do miles and earn many more satisfied customers, people would go and eat in their restaurant! Go and try a food at this place, and give a word if they’re rude. Also: NEVER PAY FOR THE SCOUSE - unless they’re changing the food completely and giving an extra little on the top of the portion…

Might be great for breakfast or other dishes, however, the Scouse is very underwhelming, just basic mushy vegetable, very bland and very little meat. Feels like they would make a bit more effort for the dish they seem to have been famous for. Sorry to say this but seems like you might need to Give your famous dish more love (and beef) Steak pie was Ok, small portion, nice gravy but nothing special, not massively crusty pie crust. Had a big pot of tea, which was great, but that cost £4.95 so not exactly a bargain. Service fine, order at bar. Given the total cost of the meal for two (£22) I wish I’d gone somewhere else. I’m sure for a fry up they’d be ace.

I love the vibe of this place including the decorations. While I appreciate the authentic flavors of traditional Scouse dishe, I'm a bit disappointed with the portion sizes. I think the amount of meat, in particular, is quite small. I would have liked to have a more satisfying serving. Overall I'm happy.

If you ever find yourself in Liverpool, I highly recommend popping into Maggie May's Cafe Bar. This place wins you over from the get-go with its cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, and fantastic food. But I want to give special mention to their Scouse. This traditional Liverpool stew is simply delightful! Rich in flavour, perfectly seasoned, and with tender meat, it's a true culinary masterpiece. The Scouse at Maggie May's is something special—a real treat for the taste buds and a taste of Liverpool's history on your plate. If you're looking to try authentic Scouse, this is the place to be.

We went to this restaurant because it had very good reviews of the typical Liverpool dish, scous, but the reality is that it was disappointing because it is a stew and quite tasteless. The staff is very very nice and the place is cozy.

We are regular visitors to Liverpool and everytime we go we now try to fit in a visit to maggie Mays cafe and bar. I do the Guinness tours of Liverpool pubs and need a hearty start to the day with a full English breakfast. We now partake in their famous scouse on most visits. We recommend this cafe to one and all. Scouse is a local meal with history, some just eat it the once for the experience of being back in Liverpool before all this fancy food. It has to be tasted and Maggie Mays is the most authentic scouse we have found so far. We come from a part of Staffordshire where our local equivalent was lobby. I have a 6 ltr pan when made it lasts me a week. Try the scouse and take a step back in time, you never know you maybe asking for the recipe to take home. 5 star rating from us. Great cafe, great owners, great staff. Wholesome food with great clean surroundings. How many greats do you want.

This is a typical Liverpool home style restaurant. I visited because I wanted to try Scouse and Steak Pie. As it was a Friday evening, it was nice to be able to have a quiet meal in a somewhat quiet atmosphere. They are not fancy or special, but rather rustic dishes. I think it feels like eating at ordinary homes in Liverpool. It was delicious and filling, and I really liked the friendly staff and the natural, unforced feel. If I come to Liverpool again, I will come back here.

Nice atmosphere, but the food is so English... If you are Spanish, don't go. The roast chicken was very sad, the hamburger was one of the worst we have eaten in years, the scouse... what can I say! It wasn't bad, a sad potato stew, a lot, with meat, a little. However, the atmosphere with its green tablecloths is very pleasant. Incomprehensible that it is so highly valued. It makes me believe that the opinions on these forums are all false.

Decided to try the new Pen Factory for food as under new owners. The staff are lovely and very down to earth but knowledgable. The food was outstanding. We tried the two types of Croquettes chorizo and a mushroom variety. Both were lovely, followed by mains of braised short rib. This was stunning, melt in the mouth and the sauce was in a league of its own. Thanks guys for a lovely few hours in a great atmospheric place. Great selection of drinks too!
