Their french toast has to be some of the best french toast I've ever had! The batter is so sweet, you don't even need syrup ! Oh, and the fried chicken definitely lived up to the hype!

Max's Wine Dive owes its name to the combination of a terrific Texas "dive" menu with chili dogs & mussels steamed in Lone Star beer , & an innovative wine list that's ahead of the rest of the city . Read more

Their Elote Loco is our favorite. Buttery corn kernels are layered with Valentina aioli , cotija cheese , chili powder and lime juice in a glass. You will see corn in a whole new light. Read more

Try the fried egg sandwich with two slices of truffle-mayo-slathered sourdough and ends with a buttery mess all over your hands and face. Read more

There isn't a bad dish here. Menu changes with the season. Winter brought oxtail ravioli and bone marrow pate . Service is great. Attentive and knowledgeable . Single chicas like have girls nite here.

Allen Arcade

Don't get me wrong, the chicken everyone talks about is solid/legit. It was fresh and juicy. But this dish is vastly overrated and typical. Want yummy? Try Pollo Campero right across the street.

Clifton M

Salmon plate w/ a nice (15% off special BTG) Sancere. Never disappoints - food, wine & service.

Teresa

The MAX and cheese with truffle cream sauce is fantastic. The banana bread pudding and ice cream was even better! Great $6 happy hour deals .

Rachel Matthews

The creme brûlée French toast and chicken fried ribeye are out of this world delicious.

Addison

Chicken and waffles is a must! And the mimosas are on point!

Food Network

At Max's Wine Dive, the chicken requires a 36-hour buttermilk marinade that helps tenderize the bird. But, in this case, the marinade doesn't stop at just buttermilk . Read more

The Eggs MAX are to die for at brunch - collard greens were the best part. Ask for Josh and he will treat you like family :-)

CultureMap Houston

A favorite weekend brunch spot , must haves include the red velvet pancakes , chicken fried ribeye and eggs and the creme brulee french toast .

IAHGVA SGR

Disregard the lying hostess and insist on a table you prefer if she sends you to the back or close to the restrooms , she is unprofessional but the fried chicken is excellent.

Jennifer Martin

Sit at the bar to get great wine recommendations and see all of the fabulous food pass by: fried egg sandwich , fried chicken , wagyu burger or "haute" dog, duck taquitos - can't go wrong here !

Machicia Taylor-Guidry

Great mimosas and the fried egg sandwich w/avocado is So big you can share.

Judy Nguyen

Good food, but was really disappointed with the server and manager. I had asked them to save my payment on file so the bill could be taken care of in advance, but apparently it was forgotten about.

Yasmine Harrison

I love the atmosphere. I had the burger and it was pretty good but overpriced for just pretty good. The service was okay. The wine was excellent. Maybe I'll be back.

Jennifer Martin

Sit at the bar - the servers are generous with tastings and you get to see all of the delicious dished pass by

The Gluten - Free chicken was delicious!

Rajat Roy

While the Mac and cheese was fantastic, the chicken and fish and chips were truly sub par. It is way overpriced for what it is. I will admit it has a decent wine selection . Service was good tho!
