Not sure what took us so long to try Maxine’s, but that’s our loss. Our server, Madeline, was great.. friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She was assisted by Dillon, who was fun to talk with and informative. All the food was quite delicious, with the standouts being the crab cake, escargot, burger, and lobster ravioli. The atmosphere is eclectic and just plain fun. We will be back soon.

Valentine's dinner was fabulous. Food was great, service excellent. We did the recommended wine pairings with each course, and they were perfect. We sat outside enjoyed the weather. Live music was very good too. Spent just shy of two hours there, never rushed. Will be going back soon.

Brought a neighbor friend out for Valentine's Day and we had a blast! Food was great, enjoyed the live music, atmosphere was fun as always!

Maxine's is always a good time, the chef is on point. The beef tenderloin and lobster claw was excellent and Maxine and Kirt are the best hosts in town.

Loved the vibe at Maxine's. They had specials that we took advantage of. It was a great overall experience. We got to meet Maxine and Mr. Maxine. All the staff was super friendly as well. The food was tasty and came out hot. There was something for everyone there. This is definitely a hidden gem!

We had high expectations for Maxine's and they exceeded those expectations! From the attentive service to the welcoming greeting by the owners, we really enjoyed our visit. After reading all the positive reviews, we drove an hour to experience it for ourselves. The picture of the skillet lasagna on their website was the final push to make the trip and it didn't disappoint!

Food was under par. Ordered the lasagne - which came out on a warm skillet but the food was lukewarm. Second dish ordered Thai curry - over priced and better Thai food found on Colonial.

We had an amazing dining experience at Maxine's on Shine! The staff was very friendly, Steve was our waiter and he went above and beyond to take care of us! We met Julie the bartender who made fabulous cocktails! The Chocolate and Expresso martini's were divine! Maxine was in and paid us a visit and took a group photo and gave us the history about the restaurant and how hard they work at making sure every patron leaves wanting to come back! The food was exquisite, Filet Mignon served in small skillets was cooked to perfection! The Lasagna was delicious! Can't say enough good things about this special place! I highly recommend checking it out and trusting your dining experience to our locally owned restaurant's! Hats off to the Chef and the Dining Room team! We will be back!!
Maxine's on Shine delivers in its own uniqueness and beauty. Is is simply a beautiful and eclectic restaurant, filled with stories, art, and much detailed creativity. it is an oasis for artists and foodies that sparks love and much joy. The food is outstanding and the staff is very welcoming. I highly recommend stepping into a world of artistry and amazing food and drinks.

Maxine's on Shine provided the perfect scene for a dinner theatre show. Pairing dishes to a Christmas show did not disappoint. My favorite dish of the night was the rich sauce from the Zucchini Zoodles and Vegan Meatballs. I definitely recommend going to Maxine's for a night out with coworkers after a long shift or simply to have a quaint date night. You won't be disappointed.

Christmas with Bad Santa and the Angry Elves is now a permanent tradition. Great food, can't wait until next year!

Maxine‘s is a must try! Their sausage gravy is unlike any other we've ever had. My husband had the brisket omelette, and I had one with bacon peppers and onions. My husband and I both cleared our plates!!!. Their Bloody Mary and Maxine's sangria are absolutely delicious!!! Both Maxine and Kirt (the owners) make it a point to visit the tables to ask how your experience is.  Our server Derek was very attentive and on top of things. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

A wonderful place but the food is at best average. Service was spectacular with a knowledgeable and helpful server. I had the chicken biscuit bowl. The chicken was overcooked and dry without noticeable seasoning. The sausage gravy was hardly there and a request for more although promptly delivered was an additional cost. The brie shrimp and bacon was a good portion but again missing any special seasoning. To summarize, good portions, wonderful service, creative ambience but nothing special about the food.
