Magee’s Patio Cafe

I’ve used their drive through twice so far. The first time I really wanted meat pies! So I got one, the basket, and it was great. The fries were disappointing but I didn’t ask for them to be crispy and would do that next time. The next time I got a roast beef po boy. It was delicious. The bread was nice and crispy, the vegetables were fresh, and just the right amount of mayo. I will be back for that!

One star for the service. The hamburger patty was thin and burnt the chicken fried steak was flavorless. We also had the nachos with meat which was actually a cut up hamburger patty. We will go to Dairy Queen next time.

We travel all over & are constantly looking for good «local» food. This spot was quaint with great food! French dip was excellent!

Meat pie was great. French Dip was great. My kids corn dog was burnt to a crisp. We returned the corn dog and was quite appaled that they would serve a blackened corn dog. But, they were kind and made my son a new one. Service was decent.

I went backpack camping about twenty minutes south of Natchitoches, LA and I figured since I was so close I might as well venture into the historic town to get some meat pies. Sadly, the main meat pie destination that I bookmarked on Unilocal was closed on Sundays so determined to get my meat pies I turned to Unilocal again and found another restaurant, Landings. Upon entering Landings we were seated right next to a brunch buffet complete with live Jazz and smelling like an old smokey wiener and looking very gutter punk-​ish in camp attire we left immediately.
Thankfully, on the way out of town, desperate for meat pies we saw Magee’s with their large sign advertising meat pies. It turned out to be just what we were looking for. The place is kind of like a locally owned Sonic. All the girls working there were super sweet and the menu is presented at the front counter just like a fast food restaurant. While it is just fast food, it’s a locally owned fast food joint with some awesome snacking options which makes it a way better option than any other fast food burger chain in the area. I got a two meat pie basket with french fries for only five dollars, and while the meat pies were good, they were nothing amazing and were probably pre-​made and frozen. If you’re looking for some good fast food snacks this place is great, but I’m sure there are better meat pies to be had in the area.

We dropped by here to try another meat pie provider. Being across the street from Northwestern State University, we thought there would be student prices here. But alas, the same ol’ meat pie goes for $ 2.99 here! Yowsa, that told us the range on shopping around as you can get ‘em for under $ 2 elsewhere. Granted there are other products here, but we wanted meat pies and meat pies only when in Natchitochas!

Fast food, not the best of options nearby.

Across the street from the college. An order at the front, seat yourself place. Inside and outside dining. Burgers, Fries, Sandwiches, and Shakes type menu (sort of pricey, in my opinion). Service was ok, nothing special just order takers. The inside was kind of dirty and needed a good scrubbing but the outside was nice, clean and had shaded seating.
I ordered the Club sandwich and a Baked Potato. The sandwich was awesome! Fresh everything, just great! The Potato wasn’t cooked enough and was hard. I threw it away after just a few bites.
The Husband ordered a Double Cheeseburger and Fries. At first glance we was disappointed in the sad looking little burger but after taking a bite he said it was fantastic! The fries were also pretty good, standard frozen style fries but good.
I posted pics of our meal, check them out. Overall really good, we’ll be back!

Nice little place right across the street from Northwestern State University, if you’re looking for a quick place within walking distance of the campus. Basically, this is a burger shack or sandwich shop with good representations of both genres of food between bread. They also offer up ice cream by the scoop and milkshakes. When weather is decent, the aforementioned patio in the title is a nice area to sit and dine.

Good place to eat and offers Natchitoches meat pies !!
Meat pies aren’t complex or fancy, but it’s just down right tasty snacks. The atmosphere is typical of what you expect located next to the university. There’s students studying off to the side or just grabbing a bite to eat between classes. I ordered the typical burger, fries, and drink… and some meat pies !! Food was good, service was good. A solid local joint.

Magee’s is an NSU old stand-​by. It’s located right across from Varnado Hall and is probably the easiest place for students to dine off-​campus without really having to go far.
We usually ate there when we did not want to eat in the cafeteria and no one had a car. It was always a little over-​priced for what it was, but we still went there! They have pretty standard food: chicken fingers, burgers, fries, milkshakes. Their ice cream was always great and they have a nice outside seating area.
The one thing I always really loved about Magee’s is that they are a local business and really supported the community. Almost every weekend you will see an NSU or Natchitoches Central club or organization holding a car wash for charity in their parking lot. If not for anything else, that is why I would go back and patronize their restaurant.

Stopped by here during a trip through Natchitoches, LA. This is a college eatery specializing in the local cuisine, meat pies. Good solid food at a reasonable price. It is also an Ice cream joint. Again, large portions at a low price. This place is great for college students, average for everybody else.
