Margaret's in Marfa

A decent option for Marfa but don’t expect to be blown away. The food was pretty good, but nothing was outstanding — definitely overrated based on the other reviews here. We had the olives (which were warm and not memorable), the anchovies and chips (OK), the sardine toast (best thing we ordered), spaghetti bolognese (OK), deviled eggs (disappointing), buttered Parmesan noodles for our child (fine), and key lime pie (good). Service was great.Kid-friendliness: Small kids menu and unique coloring sheet.

Nice atmosphere. Wonderful waitstaff. Menu items from appetizers and salads to spaghetti bolognese, salmon, etc for main dishes. Excellent dessert selection. We got so full on the appetizer and salad that we skipped the main course and went straight to dessert. Very reasonable prices.

We had a great time here at margrets! We loved the unique flavors and interesting dishes. Some of our favorites were the sardines on bruschetta and the flank steak. Our server was super fun and bright which provided for a great experience. The photos are pickled beets deviled eggs, flank steak with a salad and salmon, arugula, and grits.

We loved the restaurant but the food not so much! The spaghetti was somehow acidic, not to our taste... And the steak had a weird taste to it... We are also from Texas but I guess it just wasn't our type of food... Nonetheless we had two amazing servers, and they even made us some lemonade because we didn't want soda nor alcoholic beverages.

Dinner was so good that we came back the next day. Each my entre was delicious. I had the tune melt one night and the spaghetti the second. Hubs had spaghetti the first night and a steak the second (although the steak was a bit too rare even after sending it back once 😕). Service was also more attentive the first night.We loved the atmosphere a lot. Very cool vibe of people.

4.3 | rlly great food and ambiance. I would definitely recommend. the servers were rlly attentive and kind. I got the baked yams and added flank steak. it was rlly good and also fit into my dietary restrictions around whole 30 [I just got the butter on the side instead of on the yam]. my friend enjoyed the salmon and grits. I wish I could have tried the their desserts and drinks but next time. I would say definitely try the deviled eggs, the only thing I would add to it is the option for candied bacon, but it was delicious. great menu items, great service, great ambiance. I highly recommend.Vegetarian options: lots of meals that can be vegetarianDietary restrictions: I was on W30 and was able to get certain things like butter on the side.

Loved everything about this restaurant. No reservations so keep that in mind, but even my party of 7… was able to get in without too long of a wait. Food was excellent and the portions were plenty! Also great service, our waitress was super nice and had plenty of recommendations for us.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options

first time in Marfa and it was a special occasion. My partner and I chose Margaret’s for dinner because it looked great online. They were out of multiple things on the menu and our waitress seemed to forget about us even after we ordered a $90 bottle of champagne to celebrate our engagement. She dropped the check before we were finished which felt like she wanted us to leave asap. the food was fine but not memorable and we don’t plan on returning.

Lovely! Delicious food, excellent service, charming atmosphere. I got the steak & potato which was perfectly cooked and enough food for dinner plus 2 leftover meals, so easily worth the price. (It could definitely be shared.) My server was warm and friendly and she took the time to help me find the right wine, which I appreciated. The key lime pie was tart and tangy in all the right ways. The best meal I had in Marfa. I even made friends with some other diners as we waited for our table (about 30 mins on a very busy night, with a nice bench out front to sit on). They have a large bar, ideal for singles and couples. I couldn’t have been happier with my time at Margaret’s. Cute and a lil fancy without being formal or snooty. The scene is a nice mix of locals and visitors, singles, couples, friends and families. I’ll definitely be back.

Loved my dinner at Margaret's! We sat at the bar and were well taken care of and personally loved the vantage point of the restaurant from here. It's a beautiful, airy, clean space that shines in the late evening sun.We opted to share a few things and all were excellent. The picked deviled eggs were a take on the dish I'd never had. The cauliflower was light and tangy with the chimichurri. Finally the New York strip was cooked to perfection and made an excellent dish with the incredible creamy polenta. The polenta was a showstopper!Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this relaxed yet refined restaurant and look forward to returning. Definitely add it to your Marfa plans!Vegetarian options: Vegan & Vegetarian adjustments availableDietary restrictions: Adjustments offered for necessary dietary needs

Elevated new American bistro featuring well curated and eclectic menu. The ambiance, decor, and clientele have strong New York vibe (reflected in prices as well) and given it’s one of the few cute dining options in town, it gets busy as soon as it opens. Overall the experience was pleasant, the food was well flavored and portioned but on the saltier side. One disappointing dish was the spaghetti.

Margaret’s is a very Marfa-esque restaurant: minimal, quality, and friendly.Seating is limited (maybe 50 seats, 20 of which are at the bar) and with no reservations, one might have to wait for a table.The menu is simple, although not totally reminiscent of a classic diner like advertised. Alcohol is beer and wine only but the wine selection is pretty diverse for its size. The anchovies and potato chips is a great starter as is the cheese toast. I was skeptical of the large amount of tomatoes on said toast but ended up being the tastiest part of the dish.The bolognese is great and the steak was very good. The key lime pie was homemade (very diner-esque) and the sundae looked terrific so I would recommend saving room for dessert.Overall the experience was great, the prices cheaper and staff friendlier than what most tourists from major urban metros are used to back home.

By far my best experience in Marfa after being disappointed by the few things I had to look forward to. AND that's saying the worst about Marfa and the most about Margaret's. It's a well kept secret from adverts but highly recommended among locals so we took a chance based on very good advice from Cactus liquors representatives that day nearby. (Sorry I have forgotten her name). Not only was the atmosphere, attentiveness and menu beyond expectations the food was superb, fresh in ingredients as well as take on the dish. The experience topped my whole 4 days and I'd return just for that. Definitely try new things and talk to strangers!Vegetarian options: So many options for a variety of menu preferencesDietary restrictions: Seems to have a lil something for everyoneParking: Quaint small town with adequate space for visitors

Great find here in Marfa! We ordered the deviled eggs, bruschetta, eggplant parmesan, tuna melt, and possibly the best key lime pie I’ve tasted! Great ambiance, and the customer service was on point!
