Maxwell's

Good service. Good food. Good beer. What else could you ask for? Burger and fries were delicious. Cheese curds we perfect and hit the spot. Cold beer was good enough to have a couple with my meal. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

Charlie our waitress was very nice and attentive to us. The cheese curds are delicious the sweet and spicy boneless wings were delicious too. I ordered the Kansas City burger and it was amazing. Fast friendly service and prices are good.

Went to get pizza from Tomaso's across the street but it is so good we had to wait so we came across the street to this bar that had my father in laws last name. Bar tender that looked like B-Real from Cypress Hill was happy to see us and had no idea who we wr. At that moment i knew i was going to be here for a while. Ordered 20 teriyaki wings and they came out FAST and perfect. Wish i lived closer because i would DEFINITELY be a regular here.

Cool local pub that has great food and drinks. Staff very accommodating to our crazy group, super professional and sweet.

Order wings at 6pm, pickup time was 7:45. Had to still wait 10 minutes for the order. Get home and wings are all under cooked. Live nearby so returned. Talked to the manager and was told they were busy and he could cook a new order. Asked how the kitchen could send food like that out, and again response was they were busy tonight. Complete joke of a response, food safety people. Beware visiting this place, especially if they are busy.

After a day of painting Cedarburg area scenery we chose to support local. These days many eateries are closed on Mondays. Happy to see we had quite a few choices. An old building with some charm, but tasted all over and loud bar chatter. We were seated quick in a back room with booths. Server was pleasant and efficient. Our burgers were a perfect medium, and both the tots and seasoned fries were prepared well. Monday was a buy one get one special on burgers, so a super value. Restroom was small and showed its age, however it was clean.

Burgers were fantastic, flavorful, thankfully w/o a giant bun. Chips were awesome. Mac’n cheese was flavorful and yummy. Our server, Emma, was wonderful, attentive, friendly and helpful. A great Mother’s Day meal! Thank you

Food was delicious, staff and services was on point! I would highly recommend anyone who loves food to try out this establishment. Loved the the location and friendly service!!

Maxwells was packed on a festival day but we put our name down and our table was ready in 30 minutes. We were seated and promptly brought water and drinks. The service was very good for a busy weekend. We got burgers, fries, mozz sticks, and chicken fingers. The food was pleasantly surprising! We were expecting mediocre bar food given how busy it was, but the food was very good and fresh. The portions were plentiful as well. Overall, I would recommend if you're looking for a bar food spot.

I went to Maxwells 3 years ago and LOVED it. I was excited to be back in the area and go again. I went with my family this past Saturday for lunch. We had an order of cheese curds, this was the only highlight of my meal. They were the only thing to come out hot. My girlfriend order the 6 piece shrimp meal, I ordered the "boneless wings" literally just chicken nuggets but even smaller in size and my daughter ordered a corn dog. Her meal was the only thing that looked good. My girlfriend's meal and mine both came out warm and not hot and not tasting fresh. You can tell everything comes frozen and they just "cook" it. To call those boneless wings is just wrong. They were awful and I left hungry. The shrimp came out greasy and not appetizing. I should've known I was in for a bad time when they don't even have Spotted Cow on the menu. This is Wisconsin Maxwells, get it together. It was a complete waste of $80 and I'll never be back. No wonder their rating is 2.5.

Unfortunately did not get a chance to try this place because their hours are stated differently on Yelp, Google, and their own website. Noon is stated on Yelp, 4 pm on Google and oddly enough it says noon AND 4 pm on their website. Doesn't make sense. Anyway they aren't open till 4 pm so google is the only fully correct option. Based on other reviews it looks like my family did not miss out on much food wise.

A must to avoid. Dark and dingy, cleanliness is in question. Fish fry is the worst I've ever ordered,: grease was pooling on plate. I removed the overcooked grease coating and showed the manager how bad it was. Although shocked, she took the plate to cook and never returned. That lousy fish fry cost me $16.99. Fries were good, to be fair. It's a place to avoid.

Came here on a Friday night at 5:30 PM. We had made reservations beforehand so kudos to Maxwells for taking reservations for a Friday ! Our waitress was quick and witty. We all ordered the fish fry with different sides. The sides are a large portion and the fish fry is two pieces of cod. I ordered white Zinfandel since they didn't have Prosecco which I was disappointed about. Bill for four people who had four fish fry's and 5 drinks total came to $114.

Julie was an excellent server despite it being super hectic due to the Wine and Harvest Festival. Food came out quickly and was fresh and hot. The deluxe grilled cheese was so good I couldn't even save any to take home. Restaurant temperature was very warm, but other than that it was a great experience.

I try to give this place multiple chances. They do have good boneless wings. At the price of $13.99 they should be! That is for very small sized boneless wings. I had the Bloody Mary. That was really good. Our server did a good job. (Again expensive) I tried the tots for the first time. B- Super small portion and barely any toppings. C for ambiance. It's a "dive bar", but they think they are in Cedarburg so they can charge more. It's kind of dirty in there as well. Prices reflect a higher end sports bar. B- food quality. Served in a basket and given a tiny plate. Service. B+ She was good!

Sunday outing with my daughter and sister. Food was fine but the bill came with and extra service charge. I asked the waitress what that was for, she said if paying by credit card. I said I was paying cash. I gave her money asked for change said oh you are not tipping me? I said yes and waited for the adjusted bill. She came back with some incorrect change no bill and accused me of laughing at her. We were having a private conversation nothing to do with her. Never got a correct bill or correct change. Second time there that was a nightmare. Never again.

Disappointing visit. Cranberry salad with grilled chicken was okay. Grilled ham and cheese was falling apart from lack of cheese. Hamburger was the worst. For $16 you get what looked like a 1/5 lb patty on a small bun with some decent fries. Compare that to a half pound burger with lots of toppings at McJuggers in Dundee 25 miles away for the same price and you might never go back to Maxwells. The onion rings were overcooked too.

The service was very good, we sat down at a table right away. I loved the old charm & character they have maintained in this old building. The food was very good, we plan on going back

This place is incestuous. The only people who you will see are the people that work there, drinking behind the bar for free. Wings are the staple, which should shine some light on the kitchen's ability to "cook" anything ‍. The ambiance is the equivalent of walking into a family argument between your cousins. Unfortunately, despite a great location and a local base, Maxwells has been squandered. Hopefully, someone else will take over, clean it up, and improve the community. ‍

This is the third time I have experienced the same situation. First 2 times with my husband and yesterday with my daughter. I am a firm believer of always giving a second chance. The first two times, my husband and I felt like we were racially profiled. The first two occasions, we were seated in the same place and we had to go get the waitress because we felt like they were ignoring us on purpose. My husband is a very patient man. I remember that I wanted to leave the place. We were nothing but nice kind and very patient with the waitress which it was the same one that took care of us before. He asked me to stay but yesterday was the worse! I went there with my daughter around 4:15 PM. I asked the server for a table and right away I knew how this experience was going to be because it has happened before. They looked annoyed that I was even there. We were seated right away but we were seated in the back behind the bar. They did the same thing the last time. The area was totally secluded. Everybody was enjoying the game and they were tables available upfront, but they chose to sit us back there. We were sitting there for 30 minutes, and nobody came in to give us not even a glass of water. Both my daughter and I used to bathrooms in separate occasions just to walk around to see what was the holdup but the servers didn't look busy at all. After a while of waiting, a Caucasian family was seated in the same area we were seated. The server came to service them not even 5 mins after they were seated. At that point I understood what was really going on and I decided to leave. I felt extremely offended. I could totally understand if it happened one time but three times? Too bad I can't give Zero stars. Stay away from this place.

Husband and I ordered Boneless Wings to go. Food is typical bar food. Nothing special but would eat here again AFTER COVID. It wouldn't be my first choice, but if someone wanted to eat here, I would go. Staff doesn't follow COVID protocol. No employees (hostesses, bartender, kitchen staff) wore masks. They had their kitchen door wide open and I watched one of the cooks making while he was making food as we waited for our take out. During that time he was texting on his phone, then going back and touching food and eating food then going back to cook. No hand washing between these activities. If this doesn't bother you then I'm sure you'll like it here! Otherwise, I would suggest not eating here as they don't seem to care about slowing the spread of the virus in the community.

Maxwell's is a fun spot to grab lunch or an afternoon drink. The service is good and the staff is friendly. They have great deals, and it's always packed! I always get the deluxe grilled cheese, which is the perfect "grown up" grilled cheese. I highly recommend to stop in while exploring downtown Cedarburg!

We went there after Harvestfest 9/17/22. We were seated promptly outside but then no wait staff for 20 minutes. The people seated next to us were served and there were people seated after us but no one came to our table. We tried to get the attention of one of the servers but that was ignored too. So, we got up left and when they found the menus and unused silverware on the table maybe they figured it out. I know everywhere is having staffing issues but this didn't seem to be the case because everyone around us was taken care of.

Great place for food and drink. Good deals on chicken wings on certain days of the week. The bartenders are kind and fun. There is a pool table available for use. Dan the bartender is funny and great at customer service.

Decent lunch spot. Do have the skinny ranch fries! Do have the sausage patty burger. Wife had a buffalo chicken wrap that appeared to be good. Service is a little spotty. Place has some nice dailys that seem to be dinner -5pm start specials. The also have some nooks & crannies rooms. Interesting place. Definitely a townie bar for locals. Dont let that scare you out. Building is also interestingly shaped on a corner lot.

Order wings at 6pm, pickup time was 7:45. Had to still wait 10 minutes for the order. Get home and wings are all under cooked. Live nearby so returned. Talked to the manager and was told they were busy and he could cook a new order. Asked how the kitchen could send food like that out, and again response was they were busy tonight. Complete joke of a response, food safety people. Beware visiting this place, especially if they are busy.

Drinks were fine, atmosphere fine, bartender named Joey, short brunette girl was incredibly rude. Told us we had to "pay her for her time" for playing bar dice. I've never met a bartender that gets an expensive shot and charges you for it when you play bar dice. Also I was talking to my friends and she yelled at me for something I said to them. Just unwelcoming and made me dread my time there.

Very pleased with our dinner this evening. We had the fried cheese curds as an appetizer, very delicious! We all had burgers and they were juicy & delicious. Service & outdoor patio were very pleasant. Living in Cedarburg for several years without eating here, we were all very surprised & impressed! We will be back!

Great food and staff! We've have eaten at Maxwell's numerous times over the past several years. Everything has always been great! From their burgers and wraps to their Friday fish fry! A+++

We happen to be in town for the county fair and stopped in for lunch, bad news! This was the worst restaurant experience I can remember. Poor slow service and terrible food. The Corona beer was the best tasting item served. They also have a surge charge for paying with a card. We will never return or recommend this business.

My better half and I spent the weekend in Cedarburg and stopped by Maxwells to grab a drink and a bite to eat and watch the World Cup Final. I don't know if it was due to the game or the day (Maxwell Street Days) but they had a special event menu featuring only appetizers and burgers. The taplist is pretty standard and boring although I was pleased they served MKE Brewing Company. While watching 90 minutes on nil-nil soccer, we noshed on some homemade mozzarella sticks which were average and some above average burgers. The 1/3 pound patty was nestled between a great burger bun. I went with the bbq, cheddar, and bacon variety and was pleased. Service was cordial and efficient. Definitely not a destination spot but not a bad place to stop into for a quick bite and a beer.

Be careful and read the "fine print" before ordering wings on Wing-night! Here are some of the terms and conditions we were told. 1. You can't order water with wings, needs to be a soft drink or bar beverage, otherwise you will be charged a full breverage price for the water. 2. You have to eat more than half of your order of wings before taking home the rest, otherwise they have to charge you full price for the wings. 3 Wing nights price is only eat in, no take outs! 4. Kitchen is slow, food take some too long to get to the table. Excuses were a large order was a head of us, but the place was half full! Disappointed!

I've been going here for about 3 years now and I have to say its definitely a top choice when I want wings on a Tuesday or Thursday. The staff is nice and they have specials everyday of the week. The wings are pretty good and I feel that they've gotten better over time. I think that the price has slightly increased recently but the quality of food warrants it. A friend of mine tried the baked french onion soup and gave very positive feedback. After my most recent visit, I felt that I needed to update my review. I ordered fries with my wings and grabbed the Heinz ketchup bottle. After tasting the ketchup, I am certain that the ketchup in the bottle was not Heinz as it was very sweet and tasted like brown sugar. I was disappointed that the bottle did not have an expiration date and that there was a possibility that the establishment was falsely advertising.

I was hoping to have pizza at Tomaso's but they were hella busy. Mental note: go early to Tomaso's! Maxwell's was pretty busy so I figured it must be decent. The reviewer who mentioned the bar service was spot on. We sat at the end of the bar while waiting for our table and the bartender never acknowledged us. I decided to get the perch fish fry. It was so overdone that it was like perch jerky. My gf got a burger. She ordered it medium but it was pretty much rare to the point that she didn't want to eat it. In retrospect, I guess we could have sent both entrees back. The thought of waiting for replacement meals wasn't very appealing. And we would have had to track down our server to let her know that the food was poor. I can't even recommend this place for drinks since I doubt you will get service any time soon. There are too many options in Cedarburg to waste your time and money here.

Excellent night at Maxwell's! Incredible wings, perfect burgers and generous brandy old fashions' Service was perfect. Still a fav after all these years! Highly recommend!

Maxwell's has long been a favorite of ours but things have changed since covid that are making us second guess the decision to dine there. Don't get me wrong, I understand that the restaurant industry is going through a tough spot with covid but there's been a few big changes that aren't for the better. They went on a limited menu when they were only doing takeout but now they're back to regular dining and the full menu hasn't returned after months of what looks like full capacity in the restaurant and full staff. Disappointing but I get it - Maybe they can't get certain items anymore. The part that really irritated us was the surprise 3% fee for paying with a card. No signage of the change or warning written anywhere about the fee, just a quick mention by the waitress as she was going to run my card. The other option is to pay $4 to use their overpriced ATM. Since we never carry cash, I think it'll be a long while before we consider going back. You'd think a bar would want to encourage their patrons to open a tab and use a card but I suspect it'll drive other patrons away too.

Bartenders weren't busy at all yet our dirty finished plates sat in front of us for 15 mins while the 31(as he states for the whole bar hear) was flirting with the teenager waitresses that are all sitting down at the corner of the bar as they have no tables to wait on. If you got time to lean you got time to clean kids. Wouldn't come back!

Best wings, beer, burgers and fries!!!! Very friendly service and great atmosphere. Overall great food and people!

The food is just okay. The biggest problem is that no employee or customer wears masks to protect others during COVID. I saw a waitress digging in her mouth and then grab menus when I was picking up my to go order. Gross.

This use to be a great restaurant/bar however the bar staff has turned for the complete worst. I've now had two separate instances where I ordered a drink and about halfway through the drink the bartender will just take it and dump it down the drain without warning.. along with not refunding any money back. I have also had a previous instance in the past where I had left a skateboard resting against the bar and the staff closed and refused to answer the door to allow me to get my board back.. then the following day I called up the bar and nobody could claim or find it. Place has gone down the shitter, I would not recommend this place to any close friends or family alone.

Disappointed. This was always my go to place for beer and wings but I haven't visited in a while. Went today. The place looked a bit run down. First serving of wings was boneless and only warm inside. The second order was done in and the sauce was watery. Sad

I'm here every Tuesday and Thursday for their wings and ranch fries. Good environment with nice staffs.

I have been spending a ton of time in Cedarburg lately and found Maxwells (not hard to find on Washington Ave...), which is a cool older restaurant near the winery. I don't care for much on the menu, but do love the wings. On Sunday's, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday (could be wrong on the days so don't count on this) they have $.30 wings so long as you buy a cold frothy beverage. Who eats wings without a beer anyhow, so no big deal. Good wings with a cool new outdoor patio. I like it. Its cheap and good food. Staff is marginal. A bunch of high school/college girls who could care less about customer service. Just a FYI, be prepared for mediocrity.

Good, cheap, and plenty. Best Wing Bang for the Buck! Choice of bone in or boneless, these large meaty flappers come with 4 sauce choices. Best deal Tuesdays and Thursdays. I deleted one star for parking, witch can be a problem depending on time of evening, or day of week (see special days above). Get your wing fix on at Maxwells on Main St. in Cedarburg.

Thursday night - tried to call 30 times between 6:30 and 7:15 PM to Order Wings Take Out ! Nothing but Busy Signal on phone - had to go there to order - 30 minute wait - when I told lady taking order about the phone all she could say was "oh, that's strange " - no checking on phone to put it back in service ??

I frequented Maxwells restaurant in Cedarburg today and was astounded none of their staff were wearing masks during a pandemic! I construe this as a total disregard for the patrons of their restaurant and will not return to their restaurant. I was so disheartened by my experience but they were not alone in the town of Cedarburg. Apparently the businesses In Cedarburg do not truly care about their patrons and would rather politicize what is going on in our state and country rather than do the right thing and follow the law whether you agree or not! So very sad for you and the town of Cedarburg. Shame on you! I will be telling everyone I know not to patronize your establishment due to your total disregard for the well being of your customers!

3 1/2 stars. We stopped at Maxwell's for a fish fry. One plus is they offer a discount on the fish fry if you get it between 5-6pm. The fish was pretty good but I could of gone for one more piece.

Came in for a sandwich on a Saturday afternoon - place was busy but waitstaff very attentive. I ordered a Reuben, it was decent but nothing extraordinary. Came with fries or cottage cheese or chips. I got the cottage cheese but fries also looked good (small cut). They had a good selection of beers on tap and a few on special each day. Today they had $3.75 Harp, Guinness, and Smithwicks. Bloody Mary's also looked good - they had a regular version and a spicy version that a lot of people were ordering.

Had a very stressful day at work. Music helps me. Was telling a coworker about a particular song and played it when i got there. The bartender apparently didnt like my song. It wasn't offensive at all but he decided to skip it. I expressed my concerns, explained I had a hard day and that,that song WAS helping me get in a better mood. He apologized and gave me $1 back. The next song came on,which I also played, completely different genre. Guess what he did? HE SKIPPED THIS ONE TOO. and while proclaiming his disgust in my taste in music, threw me another dollar, and had the audasity to proceed justifying his behavior stating that if I was a guy he wouldn't've even have refunded me. Gee! Thanks for making my night even more miserable. Got to listen to 3 out of the 5 songs i played.

First time coming to this place. Never in my life have I been to a restaurant where's there's so many rules! Ridiculous! Saturday night wing special 49¢, a good deal but the catch is they come in increments of ten, my brother ordered 20 and they told him he'd have to pay full price if he didn't eat ALL of them!!!! My father ordered my mom a beer and the waitress wouldn't get the beer unless my mom gave consent for the beer to be brought for her?!?! Beer specials don't start until 7pm and pizza (which we came for originally) isn't served until 9pm. LOUD people at the bar slamming dice on the tables. Overall, my family will never be coming back.

My wife and I went here for the first time after the Harvest festival for a bite and some drinks.We were seated immediately outside on the patio as we requested,so far so good then the waitress came for our drink order my wife got a beer and I asked for a Bourbon over ice from the list of Bourbons they say they Carry, she came back to pur table telling me they rarely carry any Bourbons because anytime a guest ask for one they are always out, well finally I got a jim beam after all that,now getting the drinks took about 15 minutes after that.Long story short they also had a limited menu due to the Festival no biggie we still ordered, my wife got a burger and said it was ok but my brat burger was Terrible burnt not very good . All in all we won't be back.

Maxwells is our home town pub. They consistently do it right over & over again over the last I don't know how many decades.... Maxwells can be described as simple, consistent, affordable and a great place to catch a game & cold one. Burgers, wings, prime rib sandwich...all great...everytime! Arguably the best place for wings in Ozaukee County!

The bartender are all snobs who think they are better then you. The food used to be decent but in the past year or so it has gone way down hill. I will admit they have a great wing special but the wings are so small you have to eat double you normally would so what seems like cheap wings really is about the same price you would pay anywhere else. The prime rib sandwich is just awful they should just take it off the menu.

Maxwell's never disappoints! There are so many great options on the menu that it's usually a struggle to decide what to order. They have great appetizers and the Reuben and Kansas City burger are delicious. The fish fry on Friday nights is also great and I love their clam chowder. I really have never had something there that I didn't enjoy. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I've always had really great service and enjoy sitting out on their patio in the summertime. If you find yourself in Cedarburg, I definitely recommend stopping by for some drinks and a great meal!

Sorely disappointed. My friends dragged me here as they were starving and didn't want to look for anything else. Standard pub food. Everything about this place was average. Our waitress was fine but not very observant. Had to ask for silverware and napkins after our meal came. I had the French onion soup as it was one of the only things on the menu I could eat that wasn't fried since I keep kosher style. It was mediocre at best. My boyfriend had the boneless wings but since we were here for lunch couldn't take advantage of their 35 cent wing "day" it only starts at 5:30pm... I was not impressed on any front and won't be returning.

So first, this is a bar and this is bar food. That said, service is good outside dining is great. People are friendly drinks are strong. Nothing is "Oh my god I have to have this!" But nothing on the menu is bad. If you are looking for a quick bar food bite then this is for you. If you are looking for unique dining then it's not. All of this said I like Maxwell's over other restaurants in Cedarburg. Heck in the county.

What a great restaurant with a great atmosphere. We were in town for our sons football game with Concordia and we stopped in for lunch before hitting the airport. Glad we did!!! Chrissie was a great waitress with our big crew!! THANK YOU!!!
