It traveled and reheated so well! Everything was absolutely delicious. The vibe of the restaurant was super fun — relaxed and welcoming — and their patio is beyond perfect.

“ Delicious food. Monday jazz concert was extremely enjoyable and the right balance of loud enough but not too loud. Server was friendly and apologized that their bar was a bit backed up that day. I had never been but will be coming back again. ”
“ FANTASTIC EXPEREINCE! This is an updated review. Our latest experience at Maxie's was fabulous. We dined on a Thursday night for my wife's birthday. We ordered the shareable seafood bake and the smoked brisket entre with bread pudding for dessert. My wife also had a hurricane that was perfectly made. Every food item from the baked beans with smoked pulled pork in them to the Arguli salad was super tasty and thoughtfully imagined. I had never eaten crawfish before, and they were delicious and plentiful in the seafood bake. The brisket was so tender it fell off the fork. The sauce on the brisket was sweet and tangy, not too spicy. The bread pudding was prepared with caramel and pecans topped with vanilla ice cream and was “comped” by our waiter for my wife’s birthday. It lived up to the rest of the meal and deserves a visit on its own. Our waiter Jonathan D. was super attentive, respectful, and a true professional. He made us feel like we were his only table through he had many others. You could tell that his main focus was to make sure we had a great experience. I noticed that Maxie’s now has 1 oysters during happy hour. Oyster size and price were my complaints on a prior visit and have now been rectified. Great job owners and staff, this is a truly classy establishment that deserves more than a few visits. ”
