About Maxson Restaurant

Maxson Restaurant offers beautiful views and very friendly service. Guests can enjoy a nice salad bar and decent food. The restaurant is a popular choice for events, with amazing food, friendly and easy-to-work-with staff, and affordable prices. The venue features stunning areas for ceremonies and receptions, with the banquet hall being perfect for small events like weddings. The staff is accommodating, allowing for early setup and creative freedom with decorations and menus. The family-style servings are delicious and reasonably priced. Guests appreciate the assistance provided throughout the event, from setup to cleanup. The restaurant is also praised for its ability to handle last-minute plans, such as packing up buffet food for takeout, which has been a lifesaver for some guests.

Additionally, guests can enjoy dinner cruises for special occasions, making Maxson Restaurant a versatile and welcoming place for all kinds of gatherings. The panini station is awesome, and the bathroom, although harder to wash hands one at a time due to the sink water not staying on without constant pushing, is clean. The restaurant also offers a Father's Day special with a grill out on their dock, featuring brats, burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, coleslaw, and tea, with snacks and pop available to purchase after to ride on the river boat.
