Maxwell's American Pub

Excellent food and service! They were accommodating for small kids, even though it’s not meant for kids. Fish and chips were excellent, same with the Ruben. We will be back. (Note: fish and chips photo is missing a piece, comes with three.)

Top-notch bartender—friendly, confident, and actually checked my ID even though it’s obvious I’m well into my 30s. I ordered a burger and fries, and when it came out, it looked amazing. Was hyped to dig in, but it was way overseasoned—like, all I could taste was the salt and spice. When the bartender asked how it was, I said “meh,” and without missing a beat, he offered to have it remade. That kind of service saved this from being a 3- or 4-star review. I passed on the remake and ate just enough to not leave hungry, but I genuinely appreciate the effort. I’d absolutely come back.

Get the Sloppy Joe and add a second for a few extra bucks! Felt very welcome and had a great family friendly experience. No kids menu really, but had great chicken tenders for them to share on the menu, big portion and killer waffle fries. Very accommodating for them and engaging. Kiddos had fun and was a low key spot for lunch. Excellent joint to stop in for some grub! Will definitely be back again soon!

Nice atmosphere. Their motto I think is "more taps than tables," which is indeed true. They had quite the assortment of beer. Interestingly themed food. For a bar pub place, their food was better than I expected.

Just a little hole in the wall almost but would be so fun if it was packed with people that day when we went it was abit slower. The food was all good, the drinks were strong, and the place was a good time! They have pull tabs and good vibes

That was the driest and least flavorful roast beef sandwich I have ever eaten. It was unseasoned dried out pot roast on a burger bun with purple onions and peppers, with jus that tasted like it was just beef stock straight from the carton. Very very disappointing. On the plus side, the pickles and waffle fries were great.

Nice American pub- staple in mill city district Good service and cheap bar food They have HH daily so great for weekends Open late for food- recommend if in the area

Never again. One and done! We went here before Jelly Roll concert. Three people. We were each charged for many drinks we did not have or get. They charged way too much per drink for event pricing and on top of it added many extra drinks to each of us. I get there was a lot going on in town so I chose the place farthest on the outskirts and away from the other venues. The bill seemed huge, and I didn’t understand why until I looked at it after the fact (picture I had taken). Just wanted to get to our event. Sadly after I paid in cash. Server didn’t get her full 15% percent and should have got nothing for ripping us off by about $100 before the extra gouging prices of event pricing.

Popped in last night around 11:45 after landing in Minneapolis from the West Coast. Great vibe in this accurately described neighborhood bar. Super nice bartender! I ordered the local lager and ultimately we were persuaded to get some food, which never disappoints in this part of the country! I made the mistake of bringing up Grumpys to the bartender...apparently they are out of business... Great spot great people

Average bowl of wild rice soup and average salad. My main reason for bothering to write a review is to comment on the service. When I ordered my soup I also asked for a salad with blue cheese dressing. The soup was delivered with a bread stick and a small condiment container of what tasted like ranch dressing which I presumed was for the breadstick (?) but no salad. I reminded the server about the salad. It was delivered but no blue cheese dressing. I asked the server for the correct dressing and she pointed to the ranch dressing on the soup bowl plate and said that it was the blue cheese dressing. I explained that I had tasted it and it was not blue cheese but rather than going and getting a side of blue cheese she repeated that the ranch was blue cheese. I wonder about customer service training for this server.

Good service. Good drinks. I have been here a number of times but I feel like the menu changed and eh ... nothing special here. It's fine. Nothing excellent. Nothing terrible. We had a burger and a bowl. Why are carrots in a burrito bowl? That's weird. Did they throw in an old salad?

Came here on a whim while we were walking around downtown Minneapolis. The service here is wonderful and shoutout to our waitress for being so awesome! It's a traditional style pub and walking in, we felt the chill and cool vibe and atmosphere. Plenty of seating around as well. We ordered the following: Soy garlic edamame: 8/10 - it was really good and salty from the soy! The edamame beans were steamed perfectly and provided that crisp pop when you bit into one. We would taste the garlic as well and it was very pleasant on the tongue. Mac and cheese: 8/10: I thought it would be the traditional noodles but it was penne style instead. It was rich, cheesy, creamy, and the pasta cooked al dente. It came with a toasted, buttered baguette slice. It was enough to feed two people and my coworker and I shared it. It was insanely good but I prefer the regular style mac and cheese noodles. To me, this was like a step above your average mac and cheese. Mexican corn dip - 9/10: do yourself a favor and get this as your appetizer! It tasted exactly like a warm elote! The flavors were outstanding and the added lime was the chef's kiss. it comes with fresh tortilla corn chips and when you first get a taste of the dip, you taste the richness of the Cotija cheese, and then follows the sweet corn and tangy lime juice and tajin. Then you end up with the slight spicy kick at the end. We all came to the consensus that this was our favorite item of the day! We finished every corn kernel. My other coworkers had a steak salad with blue cheese dressing and a slow roasted pull pork with tater tots. They both enjoyed their food as well. Prices were good for the portion size as well and our drinks were refilled and we were checked on regularly. Come try this place out! You won't be disappointment!

OVERALL: I can attest that Maxwell's is in fact, the best kept secret. Unassuming location next to a gas station. ATMOSPHERE: I was hesitant when my friend suggested a casual/"dive bar" location for drinks & dinner but maxwell's was clean and homey. Lots of seating available for the space. SERVICE: We sat at the bar and received excellent service. Bartender was always making sure we had drinks and that our food was good! He also recommended some of his favorite food options which helped us decide what to get. FOOD: I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and it hit the spot. I would say the sauce itself is more bbq than "Nashville hot" but it was still tasty! It had fried pickles on it as well which I liked. Also, they use chicken tenders as the chicken, as a heads up. Still delicious but maybe not what I expected. The waffle fries and seasoned sour cream is a must. The mac and cheese was delicious. They use penne pasta which I personally prefer over macaroni noodles. My friend ordered Cajun shrimp as the protein. DRINKS: You can order whatever drink you'd like, I always like a good dirty Shirley. PRICE: The rail drinks were $6. What a deal (and this is outside happy hour!) the food was $15 an entree.

Lives up to its name - a great spot to grab a drink and have some pub food! We stopped here for a bite after an appointment in the area. The service is stand-out here - servers were friendly and attentive during our meal! They've got a bunch of stuff on rotating tap, and some specialty cocktails. Check out their happy hour deals while you're there. We ordered WAY too much as usual - our eyes are always bigger than our stomachs! My partner and I split the wild rice soup - creamy, hearty, and flavorful. I ordered Buffalo wings - because a good pub knows their wings! - and ordered waffle fries as a "side". Spoiler alert: these waffle fries could have been two whole meals alone! So. Many. Fries. But they were delicious and crispy - served with addicting seasoned sour cream. The wings came out HOT and juicy with ranch and blue cheese on the side. Delicious! My partner got the burger and wasn't wowed but a decent patty with tons of tots. Great service and quality bar food in a cozy setting.

Best place to drink! Josh, Mary, Dylan, they all are great! I've been coming here for 2 years and plan to stay a customer for ever

Recently went here for dinner and drinks with some friends and we all had a great time! Service was super friendly and speedy. We ordered a burger, Mac and cheese, Smokey mountain chicken sandwich, and Buffalo chicken wrap. I personally tried the Mac and cheese and chicken sandwich, and both were delicious & would definitely order them again. The sandwiches also come with a ton of super yummy waffle fries each, which we loved. Food was affordable (about $14 per meal) and drinks were super cheap compared to other places in the area (ours were between $4.50 and $6 each). Typical bar/pub vibe inside, perfect for a casual night out either for dinner, drinks, or both.

Thanks Maxwelll's. This is a perfect place to pick in Minneapolis to meet with friends before or after a gopher game or any event and these servers are really friendly. Not stuffy here. Bloody, beer, wings...all good, fresh and quick. Convenient place to Uber to and from also.

5/5 for Food, Bloody Marys, Atmosphere, Service We happened to stop in yesterday after a horrible try at Day Block down the block. Maxwells welcomed us with open arms and we had the best server: Olivia. The Bloody Marys were fantastic, full of flavor and the bar service was incredibly speedy. We ordered a few other drinks and my friend wanted to sample a few beers and that was no problem either! We ordered some snacks to share: the pretzel bites and dry and Buffalo wings. Super tasty, complete with ranch and blue cheese to dip. Food was hot, delicious and quick! What a relaxing place to meet up with friends before an event - I will definitely be back. Thank you Olivia!!

Me and my stopped in because we both were craving a burger and drink after a day at work... and I must say it was an excellent find. The inside of the pub was very relaxed and comfortable-plus the entire staff (both waite staff and bartenders) were all very friendly and inviting. We were both excited to see that the special that night was a $9 cheeseburger and fries both of which were really good and a very generous portion. The beer menu constantly changes, but they had an orange Creamsicle cider, which was very refreshing . If you are in the area weather visiting or stopping in for a game I recommend stopping in.

A neighborhood favorite in downtown Minneapolis. Don't mistake the appearance of the exterior for the high quality fare inside. Awesome menu for lunch or dinner, great for the lunch crowd or a bite to eat before a sporting event. Can't get enough of Maxwell's.

Great food and service. We were a large group, and they were able to accommodate us with large table.

Here are two reasons for this review today. One it is so hard to find a place for lunch in the Mill District on a Tuesday. So go here! Two our waiter Charlie was a delight, a great server with a fabulous personality! Four stars for just good decent food with a great variety of dishes. I had the turkey burger on a dinner salad and I couldn't be happier!

Cozy ambiance after any show! Management and service were on top of their game after the RHCP concert over Easter weekend! Waitresses, food servers, and bus help were on point! Food was excellent! Our new place to dash to ASAP after any US Bank Stadium concert hands down!

It was super hard to find a bar that served food after 11pm! The night I was searching, I noticed Maxwell's had food until midnight! My chicken tenders and fries were delicious and the bartender, didn't catch his name, was super nice! Definitely recommend!

I like Maxwell's. A nice, chill pub! A few years ago, I lived an exit away in the dinkytown area. My mom & I would go here every Saturday for the drink specials on bloody Mary's and mimosas, and of course we tried the food and loved it. We went today for happy hour, my first time in a long time. We ordered way too much food. We got -steak bites. My mom said they were good, I don't eat beef). -cheese curds. Not my favorite, but had to try them) -waffle fries. They were good & I really liked the dip they came with. -wings (Buffalo/hot wings). Again not my favorite. I have come to realized when you order chicken with sauce from most places they don't season the meat (or maybe they do with plain salt, I'm no chef, I don't know) but it has no flavor & then they throw a thin layer of buffalo sauce over it and it's still minimal flavor. I say all of that to say my tip would be to get the dry rub wings (because they are seasoned) and dip them in hot sauce or buffalo sauce. They weren't horrible wings they just lacked flavor which seems common. For a drink, I got a Wintertini. Very good. In the past I ordered off the regular menu, things like chicken sandwiches and so on and have never not liked my food. I ordered off the happy hour menu because I could try more food at a cheaper price. The service was great, as always. The waitress was nice and made sure we were set with everything we needed. Overall I like Maxwells! Nice atmosphere, good food, good drinks, cool people! Parking is metered all around.

Great spot for a late evening drink. Ambiance was great, the people were fun and the lovely bartender shared her candy jar when I needed something sweet. Would definitely go back.

This was a good Reuben. I liked how juicy the sauce was. I would eat this Ruben again. This is the best Reuben I have eaten in the twin cities.

Omg! The new boneless chicken wings are amazing!The waitress said that they make them fresh in house and you can definitely tell the difference. We got ranch and buffalo sauce on the side, so good! We felt that the portion was large for the price as well.

Great food. Small but awesome beer selection for any beer lover. Cool atmosphere. Great staff.

Lunch in a pub, this is nice. Of course, we're Americans so we can't have a beer with it because that's how we are. *sad face* My friend had a decent looking burger, I chose the steak wrap. Maybe not enough steak in there, but the flavor was good and the waitress did a fab job keeping our drinks (ice tea) refilled. Looks like a decent place for dinner time.

A resounding yes! I've gone here hundreds of times over the years, and never once have I had a bad experience. The food is really good, and the people are supremely nice. If you want a place where people of all different backgrounds, beliefs, and sexual orientations can come and be welcomed like family this is it.

This is a great little bar very close to US Bank Stadium. It is super clean and has a fun atmosphere. They decorate with old pictures of Minneapolis, which is super cool. If I had only tried their bar food (wings and waffle fries), I would have give 4 stars, but we tried their burger and a salad and they were not as impressive. The wings were great! The waffle fries come with a side of seasoned sour cream - amazing! Overall, this place would be a great spot to stop before a Vikings game or other event at the stadium. Just stick to the bar foods!

Love this bar! Has a great old school downtown vibe. Really fun to sit at the bar. One star removed bc inwidh they offered an impossible or beyond burger.

Definitely a go to place for a few drinks after work or for Vikings games. Came here for some late night goodies and was met with really friendly service. Loved the chill atmosphere- sometimes you don't want to have to put on your best show for a nice drink with friends. Maxwell's has awesome happy hour deals, both for their beverages and their tasty apps. They definitely do not skimp on the amount of food either. The nachos are piled high with a variety of ingredients. There were steak bites for days and cheese curds up the wazoo. My boyfriends favorite is the edamame and I gotta say I was very impressed- it was very well flavored with lots of soy sauce and garlic to the point where my kidneys had to tell me to stop eating so much salt. Their drinks were also awesome and cheap so great place to just have some fun!

We have been getting delivery from here! Food always comes fresh and tasty! Love the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream! We will continue to order!

A classic pre-game environment punctuated by outstanding service. Be sure to ask for Josh behind the bar or Zach amongst the tables. Either way, you're certain to have a memorable experience. And - try the wings - they are divine!

I ate here too many times while in town for work. The food and the people here are both incredible. Every staff member I came across was so genuine and friendly. The food. To die for. I had 3 separate entree's and was so satisfied every single time.

We made a reservation for a large group of people that all were showing up at different times. This is a small place and they accommodated our group with no issues! I can't remember our server's name but he gets the biggest shout out ever because he was SO kind, accommodating and patient. We kept moving around, bills were split up in different ways, we had an elderly person requesting decaf coffee and this guy served us all with a smile and with amazing accuracy. I was surprised at just how good the food was too! We had gluten-free people and vegetarians in our group and everyone found something. The veggies were fresh and everything was delicious. Maxwell's gets 5 big stars in my book!

Very friendly staff.. good food, but, I wish they would go back to their original blue cheese dressing, because post-COVID, the last 3 times, it's been reeaallly watered down. The Cobb salad might then be good and... if they would cut off the white stalks of the romaine ;-/ The balsamic could be better as well. Just a suggestion for the atmosphere: if they put a mirrored wall and some rope lighting?? on the far back wall, more people would sit back there. As it is, *everyone* gravitates to the front and front first 4-5 bar stools (good lighting is everything). Really want these guys to make it.. nice to have them in the neighborhood.

I've walked by this place hundreds of times over the years and never stopped in. On a whim I did today and gee I feel dumb to have passed it over. Whoever is cooking knows what they're doing. The steakhouse melt was a fantastic patty melt with perfectly cooked beef on buttery bread and all the toppings melted melted into a craveable sandwich. The waffle fries, which I typically don't like, were wonderful...get the seasoned sour cream to go with them. The folks working here were so nice and definitely made me feel welcome. Mary was behind the bar and she's just awesome. L Really this is one of those places that you wish was your neighborhood hangout. Great vibe and great food.

IT SEEMED LIKE ALL hope was lost; I telephoned many potential Wing establishments but they all claimed their kitchens closed at times too soon for us to dine, as we had landed many hours late due to delayed flights. Luckily, Maxwell's American Pub told me their kitchen was open til the wee 1 o'clock hour. AND THANK GOD FOR THAT. Stumbling, tired and hungry, into this otherwise nondescript pub, we'd have been happy with any fare, at any price. But it was Happy Hour, and that meant $4.75 youcallits (tequila n soda for me) and.... $7.25 order of... the very Wings that brought us there in the first place. MY WINGS ARRIVED IN a porcelain handled tray with nine specimens of bar-Wing perfection, crispy like only twice-cooked Wings can be. I knew not only the joy I was soon to have, but at HH prices I knew my insatiable Wingppetite™ would irresponsibly make me order another round: that's how good they looked. And damn it that's how good they was. THE BUFFALO SAUCE could have and should have been more spicy, but knowing my Minnesota locale let me appreciate these Wings for "meating" my Wingspectations™ to conceivable capacity. The fresh celery and rich plentiful bleu cheese capped this bar Wing feast expertly. I ENJOYED THEM SO MUCH that I stopped by the kitchen to chat with Rosa, the maybe-55 year old cook who prepared all the food by herself. I asked her about her Wing method: she bakes, then refrigerates, then fries. All great Wings are twice cooked. She finalized our convo with "muy bueno?" and since I took Spanish all four years of high school, I could confidently answer: "yes, they were absolutely muy bueno." ALL IN ALL: four two-boners and one one-boner with a bonus Just-the-Tip™ (9.5/10) for the unexpected nature of fantastic traditional buffalo Wings in Minneapolis. For Christ's sake I ordered a second helping! PRICE POINT: 9/$7.25 during happy hour = outstanding. Normal price $10.95 - okay #wingdom for more about Wings see thewingdomreview on IG

Best bar in the twin cities. It's a prime location downtown next to us bank. If you are doing anything around that area grab a bite to eat. Clean bar with great services.

This is my go-to pre-Vikings game bar. Great service, great food, great bloodies. Bring your drink while you wait in line for the bathroom! Did I mention, Rosie, the manager, is the best!

Went there on a Monday night when I was in town on business and needed something for dinner. Not crowded on a Monday night. A couple of police officers there grabbing dinner along with some regulars. They had a few large TVs with a baseball game on one and the US Open on the others. I started with buffalo wings which were perfect. Then got talked into the burger, $6 on Mondays. The burger was good but nothing to write home about. The waffle fries were very good. I would go back because the waitstaff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable and the food and beer did the trick.

Pretty average bar food. We were seated outside and it's the perfect location if you're headed to an event at US Bank Stadium. I got the buffalo wings, and they were just the right amount of spice. Well balanced flavor and hard to beat for the price. They are known for their homemade waffle fries and seasoned sour cream. Definitely something to order with your sandwich. The rest of my party got the Smokey Mountain chicken Sandwich and a rotisserie chicken wrap, which were pretty good. Nothing special at Maxwell's that I am dying to return for, but a good standard dinner

Easy laid back American vibe. Friendly staff. Non-college crowd. Outdoor seating options. Clean bathrooms.

Maxwell's is a lock for my "Best Burgers of the Twin Cities" list. It's an unassuming spot in an unassuming part of downtown, just a few doors down from Bobby & Steve's off Washington. Our server was gregarious, prompt, and attentive. She gave the "I'm glad you guys are here" vibe in a completely genuine way. Bravo. The Laredo Burger was excellent: a hearty half-pound of meat, a generous heaping of avocado, smothered in pepperjack cheese, pico de gallo & chipotle aioli -- all on a fresh baked bun. Phenomenal burger, and a great price point: $8.50. I paid the extra $1.50 for fries and seasoned sour cream; 'twas a wise investment. Perfect amount of seasoning on the fries, and their sour cream was magnificent (and this is from a guy who normally isn't into seasoned sour cream). My dad had the Reuben and said it was wunderbar. Being a carb-conscious old man, he subbed veggies for chips. Most places give you a meager serving of veggies, but not Maxwell's. They loaded him up with a diverse mix of fresh, steamed veggies. Well done. The vibe is cozy without being cramped: tastefully appointed, and a generous number of flat screens to catch the game. We visited during a Vikes away game, and it was mostly filled up, but no wait to get a table.

Lunch here was weird. I came with my girl, Rachel C, just as she had arrived into Minneapolis after a long flight. I hadn't eaten yet that day so we were STARVING. Rolled up to Maxwell's since it was right down the street from our hotel. Came in and right off the bat it was a little odd. The waitress/hostess was not welcoming. In fact, seeing as we were the only two people in there at the time, she seemed down right annoyed that we were there. Oops, sorry we're hungry and came into your RESTAURANT for food. Sigh. Anyway. I just never felt like she warmed up to us the entire time we were there and it just made me feel uncomfortable. Do you know when you have questions but then the person you're asking them to gives off some 'tude so you get even more flustered and you get even more wordy and then they pretty much hate you? I felt like that was the pattern here with the waitress. I had some questions about the menu but she was standoffish and less than helpful from the get go and then I got flustered and forgot what I was going to ask and it just devolved into me ordering a club sandwich. Now, don't get me wrong. I like a club sandwich. But I felt like there were other, more exciting things on the menu worth trying but I felt so rushed that I made that decision and there we were. Now, the club sandwich was pretty good. Nothing special but it was satisfying. I was starving so I nearly downed the whole thing which was quite sizable to begin with. The fries? Now the fries are off the HOOK. I love a waffle fry. They had good waffle fries. And they also had this neat little curry sour cream dipping sauce for them which I also enjoyed. Nothing fancy but I left pleased. I also glanced at the beer menu and it looked solid. I recognized some Michigan beers too, which made me happy, but also some regional to MN brews which I like. I love trying the regional beers when I'm in a new city. Although this day I was way too tired for a beer so I passed. The space is your standard kind of pub with wood detailing and such. It didn't really stand out in my mind as anything remarkable but it was clean and comfortable so I'll give them props for that. Overall it's a place that I'd consider returning to if I should find myself in the neighborhood again. I just hope the waitress gets up on the right side of the bed that morning.

We stopped by Maxwell's as we were staying at the nearby Aloft. Our bartender Mary was helpful and friendly, and had a lot of history with the place, which is a nice old brick building that survived a fire in the thick of winter, evidenced by photos on the walls. I noticed that a waitress nearby was wiping down all the menus, which, after seeing it, I realized is probably something I would like to see a lot of other places doing. Who likes to touch a crusty, sticky menu?! I appreciated that as soon as I ordered a wine, I was given a glass of water. Red wine is DRY, Peeps! We also appreciated that once it was known we were staying across the street, we received a free beer by showing our hotel card.

I had a splendid experience here at Maxwell's American Pub. Location for this place is ideal. Incredibly delicious and wholesome. All of the staff are super welcoming - you definitely feel welcome and taken care of. The service was professional and I would definitely go back to Maxwell's American Pub.

Maxwell's is one of our fave spots in the city. Their Idaho nachos are to diiiiie for (we regularly crave them and are willing to drive 20 minutes for them!). Decent tap list and a great staff. We miss you since COVID began-- we hope you make it! Come back to us! Support local!

What an incredible find. It's in a perfect location and we were definitely pleased with our experience. I really have no words that can possibly describe how terrific the items that I got were. Not to mention, the service was excellent and the staff was very polite. We loved Maxwell's American Pub.

I was hovering around a 3, but their food is pretty good for bar food, so I bumped it up. All these years of working so close I never made it in the door until night. Met up with some friends for Happy Hour. Pretty good specials. All appetizers half off. The buffalo shrimp were pretty damn good and there were a lot of them. Ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich to go. Had a few bites. It was okay. Their fries were great and their seasoned sour cream was amazing. I could spend a few days with that alone. Service was pretty good considering our server was the only one there for awihile. People must have called in sick. I would venture back.

Maxwell's is a long and narrow, tightly packed neighborhood sports bar-vibe kinda place, all high-top tables (I think) and the food is very good for what it is (typical, unhealthy, american sports bar food). Also, beer specials are sometimes semi-cool beers and a very good deal, I give 4 stars for that aspect I think. The burgers are very good. Nothing here is trying to be too fancy. There is a bit of unique history to it because it burned down one time in the depth of winter, so then all of the water used to put out the fire froze, and they have some cool pictures of that on the wall. It can be very loud, and there are going to be sports on the TVs. If it's not important the TVs will be muted and music plays and it's a nicer environment. If you want a typical sports bar experience, or just good typical all-american food in a somewhat cozy environment, here you go.

I got delivery (via Bitesquad). Maxwell's is really tasty, and they're one of the only places I've come across in the twin cities that uses foil on the bottom of their containers, so your food isn't soggy by the time it arrives. It's genius! Even the fries were still crispy. We had a bacon cheddar chicken sandwich and mac and cheese. Both were good, but the mac and cheese was better. Cheese curds are nothing to write home about.
