Maxx - Warrendale

I was introduced to Maxx Restaurant by my coworkers, and since then, I’ve enjoyed both lunch and dinner there several times while in town. I believe the restaurant has recently been renamed Elia? Regardless, the food here is fantastic! From the soups and salads to the French fries and gyros, everything is absolutely delicious! I must say, their French fries paired with garlic aioli are the best I've ever had! If you're a garlic enthusiast like me, you'll adore their fries. They mix in basil, rosemary, and whole garlic cloves, frying them together with the potatoes... OMG, it’s so tasty! I can’t wait to come back again and again!

I haven't given a rating yet, but I've heard that the ownership has changed and the restaurant is now called ELIA Mediterranean Grille. We attempted to go on Sunday, but unfortunately, they were closed. I'll write a review once we get the chance to visit.

This restaurant is closed. It seems that a Mediterranean restaurant will be opening here. I’ve never dined at MAXX, but I hope the new place performs better than the taco shop and this one did.

During our visit to the city, our family enjoyed a delightful lunch at this restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food and service were exceptional. Kerry, the bartender, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, assisting us in choosing our dishes when we were indecisive about our orders. We highly recommend trying the chicken meatballs, peri peri wings, crab cakes, and burgers – they were some of the best meals we've ever had. The venue is lovely, and we can't wait to return next time we're in the area.

Maxx is a fixed location that I rate between 4 and 4.5 stars. I visited twice and prefer to try a place at least a couple of times before writing a review. The food is surprisingly good. Initially, I wasn’t quite sure what kind of vibe the restaurant was going for—was it sporty dining? It seems to be experiencing a bit of an identity crisis, but honestly, that doesn’t bother me. They serve up excellent drinks alongside delicious food. The zucchini strips, meatballs, sauce, hamburgers, steaks, and salads are all top-notch. There are also other items on the menu that I didn't try, but I’m eager to do so. The service is outstanding, with both male staff members being very attentive—an uncommon find these days. Restaurant owners who have great staff are truly fortunate. Overall, I highly recommend giving Maxx a visit; you won’t be disappointed!
