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.

Randell Calbert

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.

Angela Jorden

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.

Jennifer S

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!

Tracy Stevens

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 !

Diego Reynoso

The best Fried chicken around, don't forget the fried corn cake and blueberry waffles

Michael C

Try the chicken tender and waffles combo with Mac and cheese side.

Jim Ottinger

Pan fried dark meat is the BOMB! Love the house potatoes and the collards w/a little vinegar. Yummy

André Zhang

Best fried chicken in the area! Peach butter is the bomb! I'm definitely coming back for more!

Sean Sand

Getting the chicken tenders on the waffle may not be traditional, but you get way more meat and its easier to eat.

Glynn Geyer

Great soul food . Very busy on the weekends. Definitely worth a stop for the chicken wings and waffles .

Randell Calbert

The fried jumbo wings are the best wings in the city ! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu

Tanya Baker

The chicken waffles and everything fries were awesome:)

Bethann Buddenbaum

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!

Melissa Porter

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 ?

Ari Friedland

order the Max Waffler and/or the Chicken & Waffles (naturally). and the turkey bacon -- it's the best i've ever had.

Stephon Jones

Catfish and Grits !, Fures potatoes and onions but everything is good!

Southern style cooking done right. Fried Green Tomatoes & Mac & Cheese were the best I've had and worth trying!

Scott Griepentrog

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!
