“The food and service was amazing! Darwin was really helpful with getting us service close to the kitchen closing. The shrimp pasta : 10/10”
“My husband and I were lucky enough to snag a last minute, late-evening Valentine’s Day reservation at Maxie’s, which happened to also be during their week-long Mardi Gras celebration. Needless to say, it was crowded and lively, but our table was waiting for us and we were sat immediately. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very helpful with our menu choices, which were limited due to their Madi Gras-only offerings, but also plentiful and varied. My husband decided on the jambalaya, I went with the crawfish étouffée, and we split the roasted Cajun cauliflower as an appetizer. While it’s hard for this kind of stew-like, saucy, veggie/sausage/seafood over rice mixtures to present beautifully, everything looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. The jambalaya had a little more of a kick than I prefer, but my husband loved it and my crawfish étouffée had the perfect amount of spice without being spicy. The roasted cauliflower was cooked to perfection and was the perfect way to start the meal. Not pictured is the bananas foster bread pudding that was the perfect way to end it. We both left with extra food to take home and the memory of a wonderful meal and great experience.”
“Southern style food that was more on the expensive side. Gave massive portions thought which made up for the price. Has extremely hospitable servers that took great care of us. Only downsides was the menu was very seafood oriented and didn’t have very many picky eater safe foods other than the kids menu.”
“This was our first time here and the food was delicious!! We ordered NOLA grilled oysters and this is the first place I’ve been where they are actually good as Nola. For entrees we had Amish chicken and the jambalaya ordered without shrimp. The reason for the 4 instead of 5 they serve the cornbread cold fridge cold, with butter butter can’t melt on a cold bread. The biscuit with my hot meal also cold. We ordered the dirty rice cakes and it’s served with bbq sauce I think it should be served with the Cajun mayo they offered. The server was great offer suggestions and answered questions Nora I believe her name was! And the temperature in the restaurant was cold.”
“Decent spot for happy hour food and drinks! I tried their oysters and fried green tomatoes & the bartender made a great recommendation for a wine pairing. I tried the fried chicken dinner and thought it was solid even with the greens being on the sweeter side. The gravy on the potatoes has a strong flavor of sage or thyme and I didn’t care much for it but it still worked well with everything. I tried the new raspberry lemon pie and it was a great way to end the meal. Friendly, prompt service. Clean restaurant. Busy, lively vibe!”
