Paid with my card took a picture of my receipt and when it cleared there was a extra $20.00 added as a tip after I tipped cash and wouldn't refund the $20.00 that was stolen I had to dispute said charge and press charges on them

Great place for deep dish pizza. It was perfectly cooked. Prices are very reasonable. The place is eclectically decorated. Worth a stop.

Ashley makes the best margarita and she’s got the best vibe. Love Maxine’s ❤️

If someone tells you a bad thing about this spot they probably are regulars at their local chili's.

Was so excited to try this place but I could not have been more disappointed. Our food took over 30 minutes, and when it arrived it was cold. Our food was for 2 entrees was over 40$ & the portion sizes wouldn’t have filled up a small child. The bartenders however were so kind & the space was so eclectic & cute. I don’t live far away & if I need a cool place with coctails I would go back for that & that alone.

My daughters and I enjoyed this eclectic place I had a glass of wine while waiting for our deep dish cheese pizza. I'm originally from Chicago it doesn't taste like home but the service makes up for it.

The vibes were immaculate but the food was just not eatable. Every dish came cold. The service was good, the servers addressed all issues with the food. Bar and the bartender were amazing and even made custom drinks for us.

This place is amazing. Awesome vibe, awesome people, great music, and some of the best food around. Highly recommend the white barbecue sauce with whatever you order. It's incredible. John and Norb run a top notch kitchen.

**Maxine’s Review**

During our recent trip to Arkansas, we decided to check out Maxine’s, a spot recommended by a local friend. Our excitement quickly turned into a bit of confusion upon arrival. There was a $7 cover charge per person, which I was fine with, but I found it uncomfortable when a family of five behind me was allowed to enter without paying after expressing their dissatisfaction with the over-18 policy. This inconsistency regarding the cover charge raised some eyebrows, especially since there was no live entertainment to justify it.

Once inside, I had to head to the bar to order drinks, which added to the feeling that the experience was somewhat disorganized. We tried an aviation and a margarita, but unfortunately, the aviation was served in the wrong glass and tasted off, which was disappointing. Having visited many places without a cover charge, I expected a higher standard here, especially given the entry fee.

The ambiance of Maxine’s has a nostalgic charm reminiscent of a speakeasy, with music set at just the right volume for conversation. I did enjoy the vibe, and I could hear Maxine herself towards the end of the night, adding a unique touch to the experience. However, the presence of underage patrons and the drink quality left something to be desired.

Overall, while Maxine’s has potential with its nostalgic atmosphere and the character of Maxine herself, the inconsistencies in policy and drink quality hindered our visit. We ended up only staying for a couple of drinks before deciding to move on, as the overall experience didn’t quite meet our expectations.

If you don't like this bar, you're the problem. Excellent vibes, delicious food and drink, great music. Try the crab ravioli with Cajun cream sauce.

Absolutely love this place! Best bar in Hot Springs!! Not only did bartenders Ashley, Trey and Riven give us great service they also make you feel like family. Johnny in the kitchen makes one of the best deep dish pizza’s we’ve ever had. If you enjoy a chill atmosphere and dim lighting with great live music, Karoke, and exceptional food you’ve found the place!! Can’t wait to come back!
