Maggie Mae's Tea Room
I first heard of Maggie Mae's when they catered lunch to my work place. I work in Springfield, and Maggie Mae's is located in Miller, MO. I knew it must be good if they were going to have it catered from some place in Miller as opposed to all the great catering there is in Springfield. I wasn't disappointed, and it was catered to my work place twice before I had the opportunity to visit the place in person.
I had some business to tend to in Carthage and my parents live off of 96 highway in La Russell. So, I decided I would take a nice scenic drive down highway 96 to Carthage instead of racing down Interstate 44. My mom and sister agreed to meet me at Maggie Mae's since they live just minutes away....however, they didn't know Maggie Mae's even existed! I expect now they know about it; they will be regulars.
It was a Friday, and I thought they would be busy, and they were, but there was no wait. We sat down and pondered the menu for a few minutes and caught up on each others news and happenings. I ordered the Raspberry Truffle to drink - I think it is made with sprite, rasperry flavoring, and creme de cacoa...so nommy, I had two of them.
I decided to try the Chicken Spaghetti with the Baked Potato soup. It was fantastic! The spaghetti was creamy, with tender pieces of chicken throughout, and there was a punch of italian flavor in there as well. They were also offering a Pot Roast dinner that day, and it sounded delicious, but I'll try that another day.
We had dessert, and I ordered the Baked Fudge. It came with a scoop of ice cream and a cherry on top, and it was amazingly delicious!!
One of the things I like about Maggie Mae's is the portion sizes are just right. It's just what you need for lunch, and even if you order something on the heavy side (Chicken Spaghetti) as opposed to one of their many fresh sandwiches and salads, you don't leave feeling like you need to take a nap.
I'll definitely go back to Maggie Mae's, and if you ever find yourself having to make a trip down 96 highway for whatever reason; stop in and eat there, it's a nice change.
