My mixed love affair with Maxie's keeps me from giving them 5 stars. But there's a lot to love.
Pros: lovely, relaxed and quirky atmosphere.
The upstairs dining room is really neat with the doors hanging. Consistent menu with fresh and new ideas offered all the time.
Cons: Can be BUSY, and the bar is quite small with no where else to accommodate waiting guests. I've had the occasional "miss" with some of their dishes, but it's to be expected with a place like this.
All in all, GREAT date spot for a cozy conversation and upscale southern comfort food.

Loved this place! So to start you get fresh made, moist, warm cornbread while you wait with butter. The sweet Memphis bbq ribs were amazing. Let me say, they are very generous with the portion sizes so you will not be disappointed. The mac and cheese is super deliciously melt in your mouth cheesy and the breadcrumbs are the icing on top of the awesome cake. The brisket is smoked for 14 hours and it falls apart with no pressure needed. The waitress was very nice and attentive.Absolutely delicious and deserves the ratings and stars given. More...

OH MY GOODNESS! When they say comfort food - they mean it. It is southern creole. The only problem is the menu is not very extensive.

Excellent southern fare cuisine and excellent work staff. Would definitely go there again. Bring and appetite though as the dish sizes are generous.

Good food. Good corn bread. I was expecting the menu to be a little larger with war choices. We had the jambalaya and crab cakes. Both were very good. I felt the prices were a little high. It was extremely noisy and difficult to talk. More...

Dinner was good. The chicken fried chicken was a large portion of taters and veggies with just a half of a boneless breast breaded and fried. Expected at least a full breast, but the quality was on point. The oysters were fresh, the gumbo outstanding and the sides exceeded expectations. It's usually busy which is a good thing for them but the noise level is a negative. Hard for the family to have a conversation. Just a couple drawbacks prevented the 5th star but again, the quality is good. More...

Unique dishes and old favorites make up their menu. Their chicken Tuesday special is phenomenal in flavor and price...enough to share (but tasty enough not to. ) Daily soup selection is excellent and if you are into oysters, they have a fine selection. Unique decor and a great staff round out the experience perfectly. More...

Was great! My dress matched the upstairs carpeting, to which other customers noticed. All great things take time- so be prepared to wait and don't complain because we are all hungry. The food is the bomb. The parking is difficult, but nothing that can't be figured out. More...

Always love going to Maxie's. The food is amazing, even my southern wife says it's the best comfort food she's ever had and she's been to Louisiana quite a few times! The oyster happy hour alone is a great reason to go to Maxie's. The entire staff is all very skilled and friendly and the bartenders especially are great. If you're looking for a good comfort food spot in MKE Maxie's is your place More...

Two different friends named this place when asked for dinner recommendations, and I was not disappointed. A quick glance at the online menu, and I had to be there.
We came during happy hour and tried oysters for the first time ($1 oysters during happy hour)! They are surprisingly less disgusting than I thought they would be. The staff was helpful and explain how to eat them as we were clueless.
Next came the cornbread and they were NOT stingy with the cornbread. Completely enamored with the food so far, we realized we hadn't even ordered our main course yet!
We ordered the catfish dinner and the BBQ sandwich. The catfish was perfectly cooked with a crunchy cornbreading. The BBQ was tender and flavorful. Absolutely amazing all around.

I just love this place! Had the Hot Chicken last night. Haven't had it in a about a year, but it was just as I had remembered! Delicious! Staff is on point. All work as a team toward good service. They always have an impressive oyster selection also, and I can't help but have a few each visit! More...

Every time I go to Maxie's I have a great time with great servers well crafted drinks and killer food. There is not a bad dish on the menu. They are one of my favorites in the Milwaukee area. More...

Great food and a great atmosphere. Our server described menu items with great adjectives, as well as being very knowledgable about cooking herself. Talking about everything from rendering fats for gravy, to pickled greens to add a bit of acidity to the plate. I got a special that wasn't on the menu, Hot Chicken. Wonderfully breaded and fried, then rolled in a cayenne oil, topped with pickled greens, and some fries on the side. Complimentary cornbread as well. It's a popular spot. Even on a Wednesday night, it was packed within an hour of opening. So reservations, or showing up before the doors open, is a great idea. More...

I'm in love with the gorgeous decor and warmth in this place! The service was great. My usual cocktail has ginger beer which they were out of so I ordered a specialty drink off the menu (which was delicious). Once the food had arrived, my server let me know that they ran out to grab some ginger beer if I wanted to order my usual later (which of course I did). The complimentary cornbread was a nice touch. My salmon special was delicious and generous and the plate of jambalaya for my date was massive! It was my first time here, but I'll be back! More...

Wonderful food and wonderful service. Everytime I've gone here the bartenders and servers are always extremely polite. The oysters on the half shell are so fresh and different everyday. They have 3 different kinds every day and they are great, I cannot recommend these enough. Maxis is a great place to go and eat out. They have $1 oysters from 4 to 6. They open at 4. More...

Generous portions, nice atmosphere, good service, prices are fine considering portion size. I love that quality fresh food is purchased locally. My burger was cooked just right when most restaurants overcook. I have been to Maxie's several times spread over some years; my only issue is that with the palate of a southern girl, I found some of the food to be very under seasoned for southern cuisine. Even the burger which was otherwise perfect was somewhat bland for my taste. More...
