Maxie's

I wish I had captured more of the meal. This was our first time and we will definitely go back again. Their happy hour (really two hours 4 - 6) include $2.00 raw, fresh shucked oysters. After getting a taste for them while on Norfolk VA last week, I had to try them here. Yummy. The horseradish is amazing. I'm so so on the vinegar. The cocktail sauce is very good. That said, I only ate one oyster with all three condiments plus lemon on it. The oysters were delicious without the extras. Now, I had the pulled pork with BBQ Beans. Get ready to get messy. Amazing. Cheryl had the hamburger and she loves it. The sweet potato fries were perfection. Let's talk staff. Emily was our server. Such a sweetheart. The young man who brought our water, very sweet. And, the young man who brought our food very nice. Then, as you know, I like to tell the manager when I love a place and their staff. Mattie is wonderful. Chatting with him was like chatting with a friend. Definitely a place we will visit again.

So I was excited about trying Maxie's for the 1st time. I regret to say I am highly disappointed!!! I'm not sure if it's because I ordered to go but for the amount of money that was spent I definitely expected better. 1.) The wings were burnt & dry as if they were either refried or cooked in old grease. 2.) The gumbo also tasted scorched bland and had a heavy layer of oil on top. 3.) The greens were tough and tasted really sweet. 4.) The fried chicken was dry and bland. 5.) The seafood bake looked like complete slop & all the seafood inside was overcooked & tough. The only thing was even edible was the bread pudding, Macaroni & cheese and fried green tomatoes & even those items I rate at barely a 4 out of 10. Everything was bland overcooked and down right one of the worse food tasting experiences I've ever had. If your use to eating real quality creole style food with flavor please do not waste your time or money.

Good food and service. We had apps mussels, chicken meatballs, and cold shrimp. First two were good, peel and eat shrimp was dull. Kids had good cheeseburgers. Adults had gumbo, jumbalaya, brisket, seared gulf shrimp, shrimp and grits. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The brisket aint no texas brisket, no smoke and no crust. More like a roast than bbq smoked brisket. Good cocktails. Shitty uncomfortable wood chairs with no cushion.

I was lucky enough to win a party box from Maxie’s, and I can’t wait to return to the restaurant. We had the b roasted chicken, cornbread, coleslaw and mashed potatoes. PHENOMENAL! 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. The chef came out to explain the items and reheating (paper instructions were also included) and he was so sweet. And incredibly talented. Really an incredible experience. Thank you, and well can’t wait to return!

Decent spot for happy hour food and drinks! I tried their oysters and fried green tomatoes & the bartender made a great recommendation for a wine pairing. I tried the fried chicken dinner and thought it was solid even with the greens being on the sweeter side. The gravy on the potatoes has a strong flavor of sage or thyme and I didn’t care much for it but it still worked well with everything. I tried the new raspberry lemon pie and it was a great way to end the meal. Friendly, prompt service. Clean restaurant. Busy, lively vibe!

Really enjoyed Maxie's! It's hard to find good seafood and southern food in Wisconsin, but Maxie's hit it out the park. Their oysters were phenomenal. The drinks were good. The entrees were huge and were a great value. The fried chicken was delicious as well as the mashed potatoes and grits. The service was also very impressive. Atmosphere isn't anything special and feels a little outdated, but it didn't impact my visit once so ever. We will be back!

The atmosphere was nice The menu was ok. I spent $40. Red Sangria which was decent. Crab cake, just ONE, which had good flavor and was light. Not too big. I also had fried green tomatoes which were fresh and cooked well The food was ok. The menu just didn’t have enough options for me. Drink menu also as far as specialty cocktails

Everything we had was tasty, it seems like they use a corn meal coating for their friend chicken, its great if you have a craving for it. My wife got the shrimp and grits and while it wasn't we we were expecting we would definitely get it again. We enjoyed their hot sauce so much we bought a bottle.
