Maxwell's On The River

Maxwell's on the River is a great place to meet friends for lunch. The river view is beautiful and the interior decor is elegant. I had the Caesar Salad with grilled shrimp. It was delicious. Others loved the Brussels sprouts, fish tacos, etc. This is my favorite restaurant in Muscatine.

The shrimp scampi had the tails left on. Does this annoy anyone else when a restaurant does this to shrimp that isn't intended to be eaten with your hands like shrimp cocktail?

Fantastic food every visit.

Wonderful, relaxed atmosphere right on the riverfront. Most nights have live music. Typical bar food and typical but plentiful types of beer on top with many different types of brews! Local and otherwise.

Easily the best spot in town for a date night 🤍 Even with just drinks or appetizers, the attention to detail in presentation and quality is unmatched!

Oh my goodness those brussel sprouts are the best I've ever had!

The brunch menu had a reasonable number of choices, without being overwhelming. Our food was excellent, and the cheesecake was outstanding. The homemade sangria was a nice touch. The service was also excellent; friendly, attentive and with good timing. It was nice to be able to sit and look out over the river too. The restaurant is attached to the main hotel lobby, but the ambience is nice and you can carry on a conversation without difficulty. Definitely one of the standouts in town.

Arrived here for supper. We were seated right away. Staff was attentive and friendly. Drinks, appetizer, and entrée came out in a timely manner and were excellent. A long walk to the clean restroom.
(Restaurant is basically in the hotel lobby, and the restrooms are near the pool.)
It's a bit pricey but take your date.

We've been to Maxwell's several times and were very pleased. Last night was the last time. Our server was slow and inattentive. even though she was not busy (she was standing at bar). We were seated and given drink list and sat for 10 minutes before she came for our order. Repeated requests for table service, salt and pepper. Salad very difficult to eat as it was in tiny pieces of lettuce, think dime sized. Pork chop ordered was requested to be cooked the least amount possible and was actually very dry and overcooked. The carrots side dish had peanuts sprinkled on them. I don't know how the chef expected you to eat them when you only have a fork and knife! The $300 would have been better spent elsewhere.

Excellent, the service was provided by Mackenzie the food was quite good, but small portions, however the shining light was the staff!! Mackenzie was a chemist all drinks were amazing!!! Service was top notch, Thank you!!!

Enjoyed the visit. First time there. Great food, great service and nice openness and ambiance. fEasy to park. We will be back.

Beautiful location and very nice salad. The protein options are nice, but portions (of protein) are very small compared to the size of the salad.

Service was fine.

We enjoyed a truly wonderful dining experience at Maxwell 's last evening. The drinks, appetizers and entrees were delicious. (There were 7 of us, so we ordered a wide variety from the menu. No complaints from anyone.) Our servers were terrific, too - attentive and professional. The restaurant was decorated beautifully, with a nice ambience. Our only negative was that it was chilly. But temps were in the teens, with wind a factor. Next time we will dress accordingly. So 5 stars rating for Maxwell's@

We go every year as a tradition. Every year is great! Our server/bartender Jace was awesome she had very good recommendations for drinks, and made sure we were well taken care of! Food was amazing as always! Highly recommend!
