C NabJuly 7, 2016The food and atmosphere was excellent. Make sure to come on an empty stomach because the portions are more than enough. Maybe have a designated driver too cuz the drinks were good but strong, lol.

Tap MilwaukeeJune 17, 2013Maxie's puts its spin on Southern regional dishes, with hearty entrées such as pulled pork in eastern Carolina-style vinegar sauce with slaw and beans, or shrimp in tasso sauce over creamy grits.
