Not only does Maxies have great food and service, but good and caring people as well. We had a lovely meal here (stand outs were the crab cakes and the banana cream pie) and I left my wallet at the table, before the place closed for two days. These wonderful people mailed my wallet several states away back to me! I'm so grateful for their kindness and help getting my things back.

Everything we had was great! Recommend the berry iced tea, fresh shucked oysters, chicken fried chicken, shrimp and grits. The grits are a must try! And the waitress was amazing! Wish I remembered her name.

My wife and I have been going to this restaurant since 2005! We are in love with this restaurant and its food selection. We went there back in June 2024 for my 25th college reunion and we took our kids (last time we ate here in 2007 there were no kids and we were newly married!). Ambiance: The restaurant has a very cool ambiance and decoration. It is hard to describe...very clean, very big, and very nice. Service: The service here is always nice...I would say you would have be truly unlucky to get bad service here. The staff is super nice. Food: I will let the description below explain ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Appetizers: I got a selection of oysters (can't remember which varietals) but they were very fresh! I was the only one out of our four who had them so the pics don't do it justice. * Fried green tomatoes: We had this one for the table and they were super tasty * Shrimp and Grits: My wife and I used to share this before and we had this as well and it was so tasty! The grits are always my favorite. * Chicken Fingers: My older son had this and he said it was very tasty. * Fried Shrimp: My younger son had this and I snuck a little bite and it was so YUMMY! I am sorry guys...this time I didn't take pictures of our food...my wife and I were so enamored of being at this place after 17 years that we forgot to till it was too late :)

My wife and I visited on a busy Saturday night and we were lucky we had reservations. There is ample parking in a lot next door but obey the signs. The kitchen faces the main dining area and there is a nice charm about Maxie's. Like being in an old historic home. After we placed our order, we received a complimentary basket of corn bread which was fresh and tasty. My wife and I each began our meal with the Supper Club salad. Great choice! Very generous portion of greens, bleu cheese, toasted pecans, fresh apples, in a very tasty raspberry vinaigrette. My wife ordered the crab cake platter and I had the Jambalaya. The crab cake platter consisted of two large crabcakes with slaw. As a crabcake fan, my wife enjoyed them. My serving of Jambalaya was huge and I am embarrassed that I finished it all. Plenty of sausage and shrimp in a tasty creole rice. The prices were reasonable and competitive. The service was outstanding and very friendly. He asked about allergies and ensured none of the items we ordered contained any of it. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Maxie's is cute, busy, tasty, and fun. Servers are always fantastic and busy, but with great attitudes. Fried oysters and fried green tomatoes were spot on! My Caesar salad was also amazing. If you're looking for a 'healthy' choice, ask for the toppings and dressing on the side because that baby was loaded and I was there for it.

Graduation weekend and knowing my son loves oyster, I checked yelp and found this place. They have an Oyster Happy Hour, $2 each. Got a dozen of those & 6 Little Necks. Wife had a Caesar Salad and Crab & Corn soup. Son had a Bleu Cheese Burger and I had the Jambalaya. HUGE, I MEAN HUGE portions. Everything was delicious.

Made a reservation for a time just after they opened so there was plenty of parking in their lot. We were seated immediately in what seemed like a patio area. My seat was kinda close to the table behind me and a guy had to scoot in as much as he could so I could sit. I ordered an old fashion as I always try it when I see it on a restaurant's list of cocktails. When it arrived, I noticed there were crushed Maraschino cherries and found it to be strong rather than smooth. It was okay. We started with the fried greens tomatoes which was fried perfectly and the right thickness for a hearty green tomato. Would absolutely order that again. I also ordered 6 oysters and oh were they so delicious. My boyfriend and I shared the fish and chips and were so glad we did. The plate was HUGE and covered in fries. There were four chunky pieces of dish so the entire dish is easily shareable. While I wasn't a huge fan of the old fashion, I would go back to try another cocktail and taste more items off the menu.
