The 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.

The oysters here are to die for and the drinks are amazing too. If you LOVE new Orleans like I do- you will love this place as much as me and my boyfriend do!!

Shaina Buckner

Shrimp and grits !!!!! Or the catfish po boy !!! Their sweet potato fries are among my fave! Can't say enough good things about this place!

Maxie'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 .
