if ever in Indy, you MUST come here for brunch . the food is incredible (except if you're gluten-free). the staff is super sweet and fun (ask for DiDi). and tell them it's your friend's birthday.
The best soulfood in the city . Hands down there is no comparison! If you're ever in Indy this is a must. The jumbo chicken wings are my personal favorite full of flavor, moist and Dammit delicious.
Always get the sweet tea ! It's the bomb at Maxine's. The chicken at Maxine's is without peer--smothered boneless and bone-in alike. Collard greens like your grandma made and peach butter to die for.
If you don't eat pork , you'll feel right at home. They only serve chicken , beef and fish . No lard is used in their food preparation. Try the sweet potato waffle . It's the best!
Smothered chicken with rice is too good! Southern classics all in one place. Busy restaurant and can be noisy but it is soooo worth it!
Seriously!! The BEST chicken AND waffles you will ever eat! Homemade peach butter to die for. Your missing out if you don't find this little hidden soul food in the heart of downtown !
Feed your soul with Maxine's Jumbo Wings and Fried Cornbread . You can't miss their signature Peach Butter! The perfect compliment for one of their favored waffles !
The best Fried chicken around, don't forget the fried corn cake and blueberry waffles
Try the chicken tender and waffles combo with Mac and cheese side.
Pan fried dark meat is the BOMB! Love the house potatoes and the collards w/a little vinegar. Yummy
Best fried chicken in the area! Peach butter is the bomb! I'm definitely coming back for more!
Getting the chicken tenders on the waffle may not be traditional, but you get way more meat and its easier to eat.
Great soul food . Very busy on the weekends. Definitely worth a stop for the chicken wings and waffles .
The fried jumbo wings are the best wings in the city ! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu
The chicken waffles and everything fries were awesome:)
The sweet potato waffle is the bomb! This place beats Roscoe's C&W hands down! The wait can sometimes be long, but it's often because they're cooking up more chicken . Be patient. You won't be sorry!
Ohhhh, Maxine. You know how to make the most amazing chicken & waffles . And whatever you do to your potatoes - I'm in love. Also, why didn't I think of a fried chicken omelette ?
order the Max Waffler and/or the Chicken & Waffles (naturally). and the turkey bacon -- it's the best i've ever had.
Catfish and Grits !, Fures potatoes and onions but everything is good!

Craving chicken and waffles ? Look no further, Maxine's is the place to go! A small place with big flavor!
Southern style cooking done right. Fried Green Tomatoes & Mac & Cheese were the best I've had and worth trying!
Can be slow when busy (half hour at door, another hour for food) but worth the wait its that good. Get the chicken and waffle on your first visit.
I thought the fried chicken wings were the main attraction until I ordered the fried catfish . Deeeeelish!
Great place to eat! Customer service is at an all time high in this place. Try the D & K signature drink :)
The signature dish, chicken & wafles, is fantastic.
Oh! 3 Words: SwEeT pOtAtO WaFfLe . (Singular, Friends :) As in everything in moderation bc we all love a waistline <3
Long wait , but worth every second! ????
Ask to sit at a back table... Front door has a nice cool breeze if you enjoy that sort of thing during winter.
Yes, the food is outstanding, but the service is excellent, too. Please support this local gem!

The best breakfast in town
love the strawberry waffle . Be sure to try the mac n cheese and green beans
I drove from St. louis just for the caramel cake it was very dry and I waited ten minutes for them to cut two slices
Get the sweet potato waffle with chicken .
the smothered chicken is great, but hard to go and not get the chicken and strawberry waffle covered in syrup and hot sauce
Gotta try the fried chicken and sweet potato waffle with peach butter. YUM!
You MUST order the sweet potatoe waffles . Just do it. I too thought it sounded disgusting and when I tried my friend's order, I was jealous. Read more
The people who work here are by far the most addictively happy people in the whole world of food service.
The chicken is delicious and my hubby swears by the sweet potato waffles .
The wait is worth it, but be sure to order an appetizer to start! ...fried green tomatoes ...
Chicken and waffles all the way!
