What a cool place! From the incredibly-tasty and distinctive cuisine, to the unique and attractive design, to spending some time with the owner Maxine; this is a must-dine experience! Can’t wait to return!

Amazing dining experience! Every single member of the staff was attentive and beyond helpful. The food, as always was outstanding (try their $38 3 course tasting menu for a little bit of everything). HUGE shout out to Dylan at reception, I accidentally messed up my reservation and he went above and beyond to accommodate our party. 11 out of 10, Orlando staple.

I got a Chicken & Biscuit Bowl with eggs and bacon and it was SOOOO GOOOOD ! I’ll give it 8.5 and that’s because of presentation. The sausage gravy really pulled it all together.
I went and requested a table for 5 with no reservations and waited about 20 min. We sat inside and the ac wasn’t pumping enough I must admit. They did have fans on to help with it being too hot.

Top-shelf vibes. Eclectic and eccentric. Bite 30 prix fixe menu is well worth it. Maxine and Kirt are *chef's kiss.* A true local gem.
It was a bit crowded, noisy but quiet enough for conversation, excellent food, service was slightly slow but every seat was filled on a Thursday so no complaints from me.

Been to Maxine’s a handful of times, which is a shame to me. I love it every single time I go! I’ve been there for dinner and brunch, and every time their food and cocktails hit the spot! The pictures I attached are from my recent visit during Bite30. For the entrees we chose their meatloaf, and fried chicken with sweet potato dumplings. The food was, choice! Chef’s kiss good.

We adore this place. The food and drinks are top notch, but the vibes put it over the top. The decor draws you in and EVERYONE working there is as nice as can be. Take your date. Take your in-laws. Take your friends. You won’t be disappointed.
This was my third visit to Maxine’s, and unfortunately, it will be my last.
The first time I went, I loved it — great food, drinks, and the place itself is super cute. The second time, my food came out with a hair in it. Mistakes happen, and they apologized and brought a new plate. Today, my third visit, my son suggested brunch at Maxine’s. I decided to give them another shot. We ordered — and again, a hair, this time in my son’s bellini. We brought it to their attention, and while they apologized and replaced the drink, that was it.
My son mentioned to them this was the second time we've had this issue. I expected maybe a visit from the owner or manager, or some kind of gesture of accountability. Nothing. They brought us the check — no discount, no personal apology.
It’s really disappointing. After trying to give them the benefit of the doubt more than once, I can’t see myself ever going back.

I came to Orlando for a business trip and friend of mine introduced me to Maxine’s. It didn’t disappoint. Great atmosphere and food. Great experience. Heard that owners’ house got burnt down recently by a faulty electric wire. It just made the experience extra special to support them a little.

What a great birthday dinner with family and friends. There were 9 of us, so we got lucky to have the private back room to ourselves. Maxine and her husband stopped in several times to chat and even led a toast for my birthday. The entire staff at Maxine's is above and beyond great regarding their customer service. We were here during the Bite 30 promotion and unlike some other participating restaurants who are rather stingy with their selection, Maxine's options for each course were generous and varied. We especially liked the brisket meat patty, the pork tenderloin and the pineapple coconut cake, but everyone's food was excellent across the board.

We really enjoyed our evening at Maxine's. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and out. My wife was treated as a princess even her drink was served with a crown. The food was fabulous. We are going back as soon as we can.
