This is a typical hole in the wall bar/restaurant. I am from out of town and this was recommended for a good time. They have karaoke at night. And I nice outside patio area to sit and relax on a warm day or night . As far as the food goes my coworker got the Philly cheesesteak and said the chicken was terrible tasted old and was not seasoned. I got the chicken tenders which would have been great they are huge in size but they tasted just like grease. I ordered a side salad and the ranch idk if it was house made but was great. I ordered two different drinks to try and both were very weak especially since they were $12 and more each. I ended up getting a beer afterwards so I didn’t waste anymore of my money. Overall I give this spot a 5/10 if u want somewhere to drink a beer and watch the game or karaoke but if your looking for a good meal this isn’t that.

Been doing karaoke here for a while after I get done hosting karaoke at another bar. Up until tonight when I wondered what time the frame was for the next song I was singing.
A put a song in and about 20 min later a buddy of mine put one in.
We were going to leave after those songs.
He sang his before me and I thought nothing of it. Until 3 other people were due up next and I was confused because I had put my song in way before him.
When asking the karaoke host when I was up to sing (because we were planning on leaving after both of our songs).
I was asked if I know how math works at least 3 times.
The host began to explain to me that one person puts a song on and than another and etc.
I understood that part of karaoke.
I told the host I also host karaoke so I know how that works.
Which was followed again by belittling me and asking me if I know how math works and that after this many people I would be next, even though I had been waiting for close to an hour to sing a song and than leave and just end the night on a good note

WARNING: The cocktails are watered down. Nobody in my party of 12 could taste the alcohol in them.

We went there on Wednesday during karaoke night. Only one waitress served us outside. It took about an hour for most of us to get our food orders and about 30 minutes for any of us to get our cocktail orders. Beer orders came relatively quick. There should have been more waiters, bartenders and cooks on staff.

Everybody in my party complained about the food, which was too expensive for what it was worth. For example, the 10 Buffalo wings that cost $16.99 needed more sauce. Another example: the $15.99 cheeseburger was dry and tasted as if it were made from a low grade of beef.

An 18% gratuity was added on without prior verbal warning. Our bill was well over $100.

We were traveling on business, staying at a hotel within walking distance. We vow never dine at JT Maxie’s again, and we will pass the word on to future corporate diners.

Your wings are to small for the price. Overcharging. Get bigger wings

Place was mostly fine, but the woman running karaoke was kinda rude and would take long breaks every three songs.

The chairs without the padding are uncomfortably hard, the waiter said he's been there a few months but doesn't know of specials or pricing! The wings were good but not really alot of sauce so ask for extra on top. Karaoke was fun!!! Shots were $8-9 on a Thursday no specials.

Wings were amazing a little over priced and the cups sizes are small . It was only one waitress at the time and she seemed to be overwhelmed , however she was friendly and nice , no complaints with her service but since she was overwhelmed i order our drinks at the bar because we were sitting there for ten minutes and wasn’t able to place an order , first drink from the bar tasted no alcohol and it was called the purple hooch , went back to the bartender who didn’t seem to have the great customer service as the waitress , second drink watch her make and it was indeed much better ! One concern as she made our mojito sanitation came into my head as she didn’t wash her hands after touching everything and grab the mint with her bare hands ,

Always a good time. Good late night option for food, drinks & music. They do karaoke nights, which is usually a good laugh.
