The menu items that we ordered were spectacularly prepared and some of the best tasting versions that we had ever had. The staff was excellent and the portions were enormous. Although we do not live in the area, we are already planning on returning to Maxie's with others. Thank you for a memorable dining experience.

Poor service asked for blue cheese for my salad that never came, 2 in our party asked for a second drink only one got it until I walked to find our waiter and complained 10 minutes later.

I also highly recommend making a reservation (rather than walking in without one). They tends to get pretty busy. All meals are served with delicious cornbread and butter. If you are considering an appetizer, then I recommend the BBQ shrimp it will not disappoint. As far as entrees go, the BBQ Tofu Plate is great. The tofu has a smoky flavor and it goes well with the creole.

Dinner with friend. Our waiter was very awesome. Food was delightful as well. Would definitely recommend a try if your in Milwaukee. read more Dinner with friend. Our waiter was very awesome. Food was delightful as well. Would definitely recommend a try if your in Milwaukee.

As soon as we arrived, we were promptly seated. The restaurant had just opened, but the dinner crowd was already starting to gather, and by the time we left shortly after 5 PM, it was packed. We started with two drinks: a Hurricane and a Maxie's French Kiss. Both were exceptional. Shortly after that, we were treated to some complimentary cornbread, which was sweeter and more crumbly than most I’ve had, but absolutely delicious. For our entrees, we skipped appetizers knowing we would be indulging in dessert later. Andrea ordered the four-piece fried chicken dinner, which came with mashed potatoes, maple-braised collard greens, and a homemade flaky biscuit. She described it as "perfect in every way,” and recommended using the hot vinegar on the chicken for an extra kick. I chose the Frogmore Stew, a delightful combination of shrimp, ocean fish, mussels, and chicken chorizo, accompanied by corn and onion in a light broth, served with toasted bread. If I had to suggest one modification, it might be the chicken chorizo, but I have to say I didn’t leave any of it on my plate. When it came time for dessert, we faced the delightful dilemma of choosing what to get. In the end, we decided to order one dessert to share and one to take home. Our first dessert was the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding, which was another stellar dish from Maxie's. It had the perfect texture, wonderful flavor, and just the right level of sweetness, complemented by some salted nuts. The second dessert, enjoyed hours later, was the original reason we had chosen Maxie's. The Peanut Butter Pie comes highly recommended, and it’s easy to see why. Many peanut butter desserts can be overwhelmingly rich, but this one strikes a perfect balance of chocolate, a delicate peanut butter cream, salted candied nuts, and a crisp crust. It was simply incredible. The service throughout the evening was impeccable, and we felt that we could have picked anything off the menu and ended up with something amazing. We're already looking forward to returning soon and can’t believe we didn’t come here sooner. This place has quickly risen to the top of our favorite dining spots!

We sat in a cozy corner upstairs, which felt private and safe thanks to the generous spacing. Our waitress on Friday night was outstanding. I ordered the fish and fries, which were delicious, and I found the coleslaw to have a unique flavor that I really enjoyed. The portion sizes were large enough that I even had some to take home. The cornbread was delightfully fluffy and sweet, and it tasted just as good the next day. This restaurant truly deserves praise. Hats off to the manager! The only regret I have is not ordering the French Kiss drink, which looked and sounded amazing! I already know what I'll be ordering on my next visit, which will be soon. Keep up the excellent service!

Upon arrival, we were seated right away. Although the restaurant had only just opened, dinner service was already in full swing, and by the time we left shortly after 5 pm, it was packed. We started with two drinks: a Hurricane and Maxie’s French Kiss—both were excellent. Soon after, complimentary cornbread was served. It was sweeter and crumblier than most cornbread I’ve had, but absolutely delicious. For our entrees, we skipped appetizers, knowing we’d be indulging in dessert. Andrea Dexter ordered the four-piece fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes, maple-braised collard greens, and a homemade flaky biscuit. She described every element of her meal as perfect. Don’t forget to use the hot vinegar available at the table—it’s essential on the chicken. I chose the Frogmore Stew, which featured shrimp, ocean fish, mussels, and chicken chorizo with corn and onions in a light broth, served with toasted bread. The chicken chorizo was the only component that might have been improved, but I still finished every bite on my plate. Dessert was a tough choice, so we decided to share one dessert at the table and take another to go. We started with the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding, another flawless hit from Maxie’s. It had the perfect texture, great flavor, just the right level of sweetness, and was balanced with salted nuts. Later, we enjoyed the Peanut Butter Pie, which was the main reason we chose Maxie’s. It’s highly recommended, and for good reason. Unlike most peanut butter desserts that can be overpowering, this one strikes the perfect balance of chocolate, delicate peanut butter cream, salted candied nuts, and a crisp crust, delivering an incredible bite. Service throughout the evening was impeccable, and honestly, we could have ordered anything on the menu and been equally delighted.

He seemed to really enjoy his job, which set the tone for a wonderful meal. I ordered the fried chicken, and the breading was outstanding. It had a hint of honey that made it pleasantly sweet. As delicious as it was, after chatting with our waiter, I'm genuinely looking forward to returning to try their Nashville hot chicken next time. My wife ordered the BBQ shrimp with a side of mac n cheese, and she really loved both dishes. Having spent some time in New Orleans, she had been searching for good seafood and finally found it here. My son had a burger and managed to eat most of it, which indicates it must have been tasty. We will definitely be back and will happily recommend this place to others.

Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. We kicked off our meal with some delicious oysters. My dinner companion ordered the brisket, while I had the pecan-crusted trout along with a side of grits. The fish was cooked to perfection, and the portions were generous! I couldn't finish my meal and had to take some home. Thank you for a memorable evening; I can’t wait to return soon!
