Margaret's in Marfa

A standout Marfa dining experience with bold flavors and great guidance Margaret’s is one of those Marfa restaurants that quietly exceeds expectations and then stays with you long after the meal. From the moment I sat down, the experience felt thoughtful, welcoming, and rooted in genuine care for food and guests. I started with what may be the best deviled eggs I’ve ever had—perfectly balanced, infused with beet brine and finished with curry powder. The flavors were unexpected, vibrant, and incredibly well executed. On the staff’s recommendation, I also ordered the cheddar tuna melt, and I’m glad I listened. It was outstanding: comforting yet elevated, expertly grilled, rich without being heavy, and full of flavor. If you’re searching for the best places to eat in Marfa, locally loved M

Stopped by on a Thursday around 7p. There was about a 30-45 min wait, so we sat at the bar. They quickly served up room temp. water, but ice was available upon request. I ordered the kale and beet salad along with the cheese toast. Both were phenomenal!!! I think the kale needed to be chopped up a little more, but it it was blanched just enough to take the harsh crisp out of it without taking the crunch of a salad. My husband had the steak, but he wasn't impressed with it. It was a ribeye and had a lot of gristle. Ribeyes tend to have that though. The flavor was good. They need a better ventilation system. It was a bit smokey, but I would definitely go again.

Wonderful place, it's a small place. The food is delicious, Everything we tried was scrumptious. We will have to again even if we have to travel 5 hours. The appetizers were perfect. The meat was well cooked and the seasoning was on point. My respect to the chef all the food was amazing, interesting flavor combination.

Such an awesome place! Very cool atmosphere, feels small and intimate but not crowded. The food though… so good! Highly reccomend the cheese toast appetizer (w burrata and roasted tomatoes) it really was amazing and great for sharing due to the big portion. The pickled deviled eggs also very good. For main course, the spaghetti bolognese was SO good, could eat that repeatedly; and it sometimes can be hard to find a bolognese that hits the spot. Also good wine selection to try different things and the staff was knowledgeable and helpful with the full list (as well as overall menu)

I’m only giving 2 stars to be nice. The service was mediocre. No one ever came to check on us after our food was delivered. The food was terrible. Coming from Austin where we have so many farm to table Italian eateries this didn’t even come close. I didn’t expect it to but this was my worse nightmare. I got the baked eggplant parm. It had the worst chunky m tomato sauce. The egg plant was just swimming in sauce and it was watery. I could barely taste any bread crumbs. It was just a soggy mess. Not how I like my baked egg plant at all. The bread was also just odd. It was overpowering with garlic and it just wasn’t balanced. The whipped burrata bread appetizer was okay. Some parts had way too much salt. It just wasn’t my favorite. I’ve had some great burrata bread dishes and this was low tie
