“My family, a friend, and I went to Baxter's 1892 in January 2026, and I must say, it did not disappoint! Firstly, the atmosphere was an experience in itself. From the beautifully and artistically designed seating and rooms (loved the hidden bookcase room!), to the live music, this restaurant is very warm and inviting, and gives off a very speakeasy-like air. They've changed the menu since, but everything we got was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Mac & Cheese with brisket, and it was delicious. The brisket was tender, plus the cheese and seasoning overall was on-point. Desert was similarly amazing. The Bananas Foster was sooo good (worthy of spoon licking), and the Three Layer Chocolate Cake was too. I will say that I might have wanted a bit more buttercream, since the cake was slightly dry, but regardless it was still delicious. Overall, Baxter's is amazing!! I would definitely go again, and if you're thinking of trying it out, I recommend it.”
“Really cool fun vibe here. Felt like we were in the great gatsby movie. Jazz band playing on the top floor. We sat on the second floor overlooking the rest of the restaurant. Service was great. Only thing i didn’t like is the fact they told us as soon as we checked in for our reservation that there was another reservation after us. (Essentially telling us to hurry up) but everything else was phenomenal. We got the egg rolls (to die for) lobster gnocchi (superb) and the mahi (huge piece of fish, also delicious). Drink menu was so cool and thoughtfully made and drinks were top notch.”
“Wonderful brunch with unique food and an awesome pianist! The Bloody Mary was awesome. The Short Rib Eggs Benedict was phenomenal and an usual combination. The Pork Chops with macaroni and cheese was amazing; tender pork chop cooked perfectly and the best macaroni and cheese I've ever tasted. Service was friendly and helpful! Went again and ordered the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict, it was wonderful! My friend loved her Chicken and Waffles.”
“We went on a date night here tonight. It was outstanding. The servers were so attentive and the chef came by our table more than once. The drinks were absolutely delicious. We ordered mussels and chicken soulvaki for appetizers. It came out so fast. I had the Baxter burger and my husband ordered the Rueben. They were paired with crispy delicious hand cut fries and curry ketchup. It was delicious. Then for dessert we ordered the bananas foster which was the best I’ve ever had. The jazz band was so smooth. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you to our server Michelle as well. Awesome experience!”
“I love the atmosphere and overall vibe here. The service was great with friendly and attentive staff. Decorations looked great for Christmas. Busy so we lucked out with getting seats at the bar. The food is what overall makes it not a hit for me. I got the Brazilian steak with house fries and my boyfriend got the smokehouse Mac and cheese with burnt ends. Neither were good. I left about 90% of the steak not even bothering to take it home. Bummed because it really seems like a cool place.”
