Family Restaurants near Clive, IA

“Quick breakfast. There was a line at the door when they opened at 8 am. We were all greeted and seated in a friendly and fast manner. 1 waitress efficiently managed everything and got drinks and orders within minutes. I was very impressed. I ordered a skillet and pancakes. The cakes were delicious but the skillet was on the greasy side. It was fresh, just too oily for my tastes. I ate about half of it. The coffee was hot and black, not my favorite flavor but it worked.“

“First time being at this restaurant, and it was definitely not a disappointment. Had my brothers birthday there and the food was great and our waitress was fantastic. I wanted to mention her, but I can’t remember her name and can’t find my receipt. She was super, I was going to get up to get something we needed (a couple times) and out of the blue she shows up bringing it already, she is on top of the game, just a great server. They have the place decorated nicely however, I think they could get into a little bigger place, it was a little loud, but our party was a little part of that. We had a great time! But I think they would do awesome in a little bigger place. ?“

“Another great meal enjoyed at Maxie's this evening. We had attentive staff throughout evening, something that's sorely missing everywhere else. Our waitress was Jeanne. I asked for and they prepared for me special a Hot Pork Tenderloin Sandwich (toasted Texas toast slice, topped with a breaded pork tenderloin, covered with mashed potatoes and gravy.) I've had this elsewhere and this was very good here, the staff reported they were anxious to try one themselves! My husband had his favorite Steak deBurgo. They prepare the salad dressings on-site, all wonderful. Tonight I had a piece of freshly made Coconut Cake which reminded me of my Mom's. I've been coming to Maxie's for 40 years and would love to thank whomever recommended this to me in the first place as we otherwise would never have known of this treasured supper club. It was fun to see the place so busy on a Tuesday evening! Who needs chain restaurants when locally owned spots like this exist and do such a fine job with good food? We will be back again with friends and family along.“
