Spacious, comfortable and informal outdoor seating...nice flowers here and there and a portable bar inside the patio area. Super-friendly servers and great food and drink. First time at the Ringwood Maggie's but planning to return while the weather is so nice!

I love eating here, the food is very good, and decently priced. Their selection of alcohol has improved as well. My only hope was that when it was bought, the owners would do something about the town drunks, but nope, same lifers practically sitting in their assigned seats. I'm surprised their isn't bronze nameplates on each stool. But I digress, go here for some good grub.

Modified orders are no problem, food is fast and tasty. Wide selection of craft beers, friendly staff and reasonably priced menu/specials. Clean establishment with excellent entertainment. Take-out is fast, 20-25 minutes most of the time. You can walk in or reserve seating for a party which is a convenient. Definitely a great place for family dining and also a great place to grab a special cocktail and unwind. No downside to this restaurant.

It looks like it would be a really fun place inside on a normal day but outside it was next level great. They have live music and what looks like an outdoor bar made out of snowboards. There were picnic tables and even a decent amount of families hanging out and having dinner. I was very pleased with the service and all the people working there seemed so pleasant. The guy Matt who seemed in charge was such a pro. They had a good selection of beers on draft and plenty of other mixed drinks as well. We were well taken care of the whole time we were there. I've been driving by this place for a while but I'm so glad I finally checked it out. I know that I'll be back soon.

The food was fabulous! The staff was great! The attention to all safety protocols was wonderful. The heater was great on my left side. Just like a fireplace, whatever faces the heat is warm, whatever doesn't is so much cooler. But how many heaters do they need?😊😊 It was a great time for us!! …

Great food. They just added a brick oven pizza, which I highly recommend! Don’t forget to stop by the Jason liquor store to grab a bottle of wine for home! Kid friendly with a kids menu.

They have outdoor dining and the space is very well set up! Extremely attentive servers, great food, fast service. Awesome selection of beer, delicious bloody Mary. They wipe down with cleaning supplies after each table. Excellent spot to recharge and relax after paddleboarding or kayaking in the Monksville reservoir.
