Maggie’s Vegetarian Vittles

Maggie’s is one of those places I just instantly feel at home. Located in downtown Lincoln, they have homemade (healthy, vegan) baked goods and, as the name states, all sorts of vegetarian vittles. I have been here twice, and have been disappointed neither time. I just really enjoy this place, the staff, and their vittles. You should definitely check out Maggie’s if you’re desiring a healthy treat or meal! Plus, their décor is great – decked out with non-​GMO, local food, healthy eating paraphernalia galore!

Stopped at this place en route to California from Chicago. Worth the 10 minute detour from the highway. Cute little joint with counter service — they bring the food to your table. Super friendly guy taking orders. Loved the breakfast burrito — the right amount of cheese to eggs and potatoes — and warm avocado wrap with honey mustard dressing. Also if you garlic, check out the butternut squash soup. Really tasty chow for casual lunch or late brekkie. Local ingredients. Not to be missed. If you have some time walk around the downtown Haymarket area. Lots of cool architecture.

Best wraps I ever tasted :) love the avacado melt wrap a lot. The shop might look like a tiny place but food is just awesome. Do try their daily soups. they are delicious:)

I love Maggie’s! A great variety for a small vegetarian restaurant. Wraps, homemade humus, fresh soups of the day, salads, pizza, and gluten free vegan muffins & scones. No one is EVER in a bad mood here. They now accept credit cards via Square so that’s a major convenience. They are located in the heart of Haymarket so parking can sometimes be challenging but don’t blame that on the vegans! Healthy eating and you know you’re supporting local Nebraska farmers. Feel good on the inside and out. Maggie’s — I love you.

A vegan friend forced me to eat this stuff.
I’m still here, lol but i turned green. Please,
do not force me to eat it again. ;)

Wonderful Staff, soup was Divine, falafel– Unparalleled. Go. But take your coat off before you enter: it’s cozy!!!

Delish and cozy! Local and non GMO!!! Would eat again on our way back to the Midwest. Soup of the day plus local bread=yummy and the perfect portion for lunch. Go and feed well.

Good G-​od yall! Real people using real ingredients to make real food. That’s what you should expect. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast. I had the egg and black bean stomach torpedo (omelet) that was out of this world.
The eggs were farm fresh not factory freakish franken-​ova. They tasted like… EGGS!
You’re going to want to put these in your belly right away.
They also make each cup of coffee individually and to order. The generously provided habanero salsa to get my blood flowing, too!
Oh, and the people are as kind and friendly as one could wish.

I am not a vegetarian, but that does not mean I cannot appreciate the occasional venture into veggie cuisine. This place has been making top notch vegetarian meals for years. Always good.

Picked up an order for the trip back to Omaha and I was not disappointed. We tried the hummus wrap, baked tofu wrap, falafel salad, and hummus with sour dough bread. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The fresh tomatoes in everything was very awesome. The falafel was phenomenol! The only thing I would change is the tortilla they were in, not bad just nothing special. IMO a sun dried tomato or spinach tortilla/​wrap would really kick it up a notch. The service was fast and cashier was very nice. Definitely worth a trip from Omaha for herbivores.

A wonderful surprise — this is a sweet little hole-​in-​the-​wall with fabulous vegan food. We had the nut meat tacos and they were awesome! Very flavorful and filling. I highly recommend this restaurant– it is well worth getting off the freeway for. When there visit the licorice store across the street. A double treat.

We were at the new Pinnacle Bank Arena and I was happy to walk by this tiny veggie lovers place! «No credit/​debit cards,» surprised me, but the menu made up for it.
We shared an open-​faced, roasted veggie pizza. The veggies are listed as seasonal, and ours had turnips, tomatoes and onions on it. The crust was thick and crunchy on the outside. $ 12.95, but plenty of food for two!

I was thrilled to find a vegetarian place walking distance from my downtown hotel. The place was cute, but the atmosphere could have been much more cozy to combat the freezing weather outside.
I ordered a breakfast burrito. It was overpriced but very good. The portion was generous and filling. You could tell it was made of quality ingredients. My only qualm with the dish was it said it included «various seasonal veggies» in addition to the tomato and onion already in it. There were no additional veggies.
The service was friendly and fast. If I lived in Lincoln, I would return but not very often because of the prices.

Excellent! Maggie’s is a warm, inviting treasure, tucked away in the revitalized, post-​industrial area, The «Haymarket» in Lincoln, NE. Fresh ingredients + Innovation = OUTSTANDING!
Bring $ — Maggie’s does not accept plastic.

I was a little shocked at how pricey this place was. I understand the focus on local, fresh produce. But wow. The coconut curry tofu wrap was tasty, but it wasn’t 7.99 tasty. And the tiny little ginger chocolate chip donut i bought was all but flavorless.
Not sure I’ll be returning.

I’ve developed a sort of routine on my business trips.
1) Arrive at a new town on Monday and buy the next 5 non breakfast meals based on convenience or unhealthy indulgences.
2) Get a craving for some fresh, healthy food around Wednesday night.
3) Find an awesome place on Thursday that perfectly fits the bill.
4) Kick myself for not looking earlier in the week.
That’s what happened to me in Lincoln with Maggie’s. Oh how I wish I had found this place on Monday.
It is very small, but on a cold, blustery day late in in lunch hour there were plenty of seats available. (A lady who I assume was) Maggie and her colleague were remarkably friendly and gave me advice on what to order.
I settled on the Avocado melt, walked back to the office, and had my mind blown. It was delicious. The veggies were fresh, the cheese was yummy, and the mustard sauce added a perfect twist.
Finding a place like this run by people like Maggie just makes my day a little bit happier. I will stop by to pick up something different for lunch tomorrow on my way to the airport, and I will fly home lamenting the three other missed opportunities to explore their delightfully fresh and healthy menu.
Next time I come to Lincoln, it’s Maggie’s starting on Monday.

Sweet Vegetarian Vittles! I didn’t expect Lincoln — where I grew up – to have vegetarian offerings, so I was elated to discover Maggie’s. I dragged my little brother and his girlfriend to this restaurant in Lincoln’s Haymarket for lunch today, and considering it was their first vegetarian experience, I think we all left absolutely thrilled and stuffed.
I opted for some kind of delicious Vegetarian Black Bean Casserole, which was layers of corn tortillas, black beans, some cheese, and a side salad. I also picked up a Gluten-​Free Chocolate Peanut Butter muffin. The casserole was killer — hearty and flavorful without feeling overwhelming (as black beans can), and the muffin was so rich and delicious, creamy with peanut butter and chock full of chocolate.
Also? I popped my Kombucha cherry!
My little brother and his girlfriend were pleased with their black bean burritos, and I assured them that being vegetarian doesn’t always mean tofu.
The digs are bright and snug, with probably seven tables with chairs, a grab-​your-​own place for silverware and napkins, and some tubs to bus your cute plastic plates. It’s a simple joint, but it gets the job done and for some reason, the ambiance makes you feel healthy while you’re eating healthy.
Next time? I’ll opt for something similarly mexilcious. I can’t wait to go back!

This place rawks!
Sweet little vegetarian restaurant with several vegan options.
I often choose the baked falafel that is served with a spicy yogurt sauce. The roasted veggie pizza is enough for two and the veggies rotate based on seasonal availability. The black bean wrap is spicy and wonderful, as is the curried tofu. In the winter months, keep an eye out for the hearty Guinness stew — you’ll realize just how easy it is to go meatless!
Thanks for having such a great place, Maggie!

Maggie’s is a great place in the haymarket for vegetarians. There’s a big emphasis on local ingredients, which rocks! The vegan options are a bit slim, but it’s definitely a staple in my lunch rotation.
And the muffins: sent from heaven.

Locavores rejoice!
I finally got a chance to try Maggie’s this weekend! I ordered the Vegetable Pizza, and my BF had a frittata and some South India Black Bean (?) soup.
The crust on the pizza was very soft and doughy, not crusty — but that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, It was very tasty, and topped with broccoli, tomatoes, cheese, and balsamic vinegar. I wonder if I can get mushrooms on it when they’re in season? That would be good! My BF enjoyed the food so much, he had no trouble cleaning his plate, and even had a slice of my pizza! I did get to try a bit of his soup: It tasted like a black-​beany mulligatawny. I’m anxious to go back & try some of the other menu items.
(BIG) PRO:
— Locally-​grown and locally-​produced products used in their food. Photos of the local farmers are even posted on the walls so you can «meet» the people who grew your meal :)
CONS:
Much smaller dining area than I expected. It only seats 14. If you’re claustrophic, consider getting your meal to-​go.
