My first experience there was a few weeks ago, and the food and service was amazing! We placed our order and waited for our items. I went to the restroom, and it needed attention badly!! The floor was dirty and no toilet paper in the stall. I moved to the larger stall, and there was a small roll placed on the top of the compartment; there was nothing in the holders of both stalls! I mentioned my observation to one of the workers and he shared that with another worker. She said "there is toilet paper, and it's in the largest stall!" I paused for a moment, and thought my response would've been a bit different. "Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention and we will take care of it right away." Wanting to enjoy our food at home, my husband had selected the greens but he said that they were incredibly salty! Checking mine, they were unpalatable. His spaghetti was so-so, and he mentioned it had a strange aftertaste. Would love to support this establishment again, but we will hold off on making another visit any time soon. Disappointed!

My husband and I were lucky enough to snag a last minute, late-evening Valentine's Day reservation…read moreat Maxie's, which happened to also be during their week-long Mardi Gras celebration. Needless to say, it was crowded and lively, but our table was waiting for us and we were sat immediately. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very helpful with our menu choices, which were limited due to their Madi Gras-only offerings, but also plentiful and varied. My husband decided on the jambalaya, I went with the crawfish étouffée, and we split the roasted Cajun cauliflower as an appetizer. While it's hard for this kind of stew-like, saucy, veggie/sausage/seafood over rice mixtures to present beautifully, everything looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. The jambalaya had a little more of a kick than I prefer, but my husband loved it and my crawfish étouffée had the perfect amount of spice without being spicy. The roasted cauliflower was cooked to perfection and was the perfect way to start the meal. Not pictured is the bananas foster bread pudding that was the perfect way to end it. We both left with extra food to take home and the memory of a wonderful meal and great experience.

Our server was great and the manager came by while we were eating to ask how things were and see if we needed anything. Only thing with server was I did ask 3 times for more water, would have been nice if he just saw and refilled. We started with the hush puppies and meatballs. The hush puppies came with a really interesting sauce. The cheese, flavor and texture were great. The chicken meatballs were good also had a nice sauce. I got the 4pc Pressure Fried Chicken sub collard greens for Mac n cheese to share. They nicely split the meal on two separate plates for us. The fried chicken was really good with a delicious crispy breading. The biscuit and Mac n cheese were alright. The Mac n cheese was nothing special at all. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, potato skins mixed in. Enjoyed the food and variety of options!

We ordered the Docs club sandwich with fries, the brisket plate with fries and dirty rice. Very expensive for the small portion of brisket and the food overall didn't have that "downtown" quality and taste. The Doc club sourdough bread was not toasted like most places do, there was zero taste! Bland. I think this restaurant is totally against using seasoning. The brisket was more fatty than I asked for. Hm. Very tender and juicy (it's the only reason I gave it two stars) The dirty rice had a great aroma but zero taste and portion was in a sauce tiny cup? The bar manager lady was training a young man on the pick-up delivery section and she opened up our bag which was stapled to look through it all. I didn't sense it was to make sure I had everything but rather "let me make sure everything is here so these people won't say something is missing like they normally do". Will not return.

I was visiting a friend in Milwaukee and got a seafood boil craving so we came here for a weekend…read moredinner. It was busy but not packed, like 70-80% full. I ordered one of the combos and added mussels on the side which I highly recommend. Got the mixed sauce with no heat because spicy food is not my thing, and it was still super flavorful. The snow crab was the standout for me, so good so juicy! Shrimp is a classic must, potatoes and corn were yummy, and the mussels were 10/10. Also, the corn bread was A+++!! If you can't do spicy or just don't like heat, don't let that stop you from coming here because you can still have a great meal. Price point is also really reasonable especially if you're sharing. The setup for taking food to go is easy and convenient, and there's a hand washing station in the middle of the restaurant which is practical. Only heads up is parking can be tricky on weekends so just plan for that. Workers were super friendly. Would definitely come back.

You go down a cafeteria serving line telling the servers in the other side if the glass what you want. The waiting line was short in length (maybe 5 people) but moved very slowly. In fact it didn't move at all for about 10 minutes. Not sure why. Finally, I was able to ask for a meat and three for $14.49. I chose baked chicken, mac n cheese, green beans and black eye peas. The meal came with a cornbread muffin. Their soft drinks here are canned and with one and tax my bill was $17 and change. The prices here are reasonable. While the vegetables were hot and good tasting the chicken was barely warm. It was a victim of the dreaded non heated serving pan it was in and being kept out on the line too long. That deserves no more than a 3 score from me. The interior was also a little chaotic with a man selling colognes and perfumes inside! I don't believe he was affiliated with Daddy's.....

Came on a Monday night with a friend. Food: Really like the menu. Lots of diversity to choose from, and the prices are reasonable. We started with a couple of specialty cocktails. I had the Sazerac, and my friend had the OG Old Fashioned. Both were well made, and there was plenty of alcohol in each. For an appetizer, we got the Frogs on the Mound, which, as you can imagine, is 1/2 lb of frog legs on haystack onion rings. I haven't had frog legs in a while, and I thought these were very good. The breading was light, well seasoned, and not overcooked. The haystack onion rings were just okay. They could have been hotter and maybe seasoned (or just salted) a bit more. For our entrees, I got the Blackened Catfish, and he got the Grouper Tacos. Both of these meals were also very good. The blackened fish was the best part of my meal. It was excellently seasoned, cooked to the right temperature, and moist and flaky. Delicious! The collard greens were good, but would have been better with just a bit more pork. More pork is always better. The rice and beans were good too, but the temperature was less than hot. My friend enjoyed his Grouper Tacos, and the bite he shared with me was very good, except for the green peppers. I much prefer orange or yellow peppers, but I realize that's a personal taste issue. The tacos tasted fresh, the fish was tender, and the portions were good. Service: The place was about a quarter full. Even though we weren't in a hurry, the service got off to a bit of a slow start. After getting waters and menus, it took a while for our server to get back to us. I started to worry that this might be an issue for the rest of the evening, so I made a point of getting their attention. After that, things went smoothly. After ordering appetizers and entrees, the food came out in a timely fashion. All the staff we interacted with were helpful and friendly. Thanks, Sarah 1 and Sarah 2 :) Atmosphere: Besides the separate bar area, the dining room is a big open space with lots of four-top tables spread around. Around the walls there are posters, art pieces, and plenty of Mardi Gras beads. I wasn't sure at the time, but there was something a bit cramped about the interior. After looking at the pictures, I think it might have to do with the low, tiled ceiling. (I think this is the first time I have ever mentioned something about a tiled ceiling.) On this night, it was quiet and easy to have a comfortable conversation. Glad that we finally stopped in for a meal. With the exception of the initial service delay and some small issues with a couple of food items, it was a very good meal. Would definitely want to stop back again to try other parts of the menu.

I didn't get any pictures because I ate it right away, it was that good. My family member picked up the order for me, and while the food was excellent, they mentioned the cashier wasn't very welcoming or friendly, which was disappointing. Everyone has off days, but great customer service makes a big difference, especially when the food is this good. This was still one of the best soul food meals I've had in Milwaukee, and I'll definitely be back to give it another try. Once I'm able to visit in person, hopefully I can recover a different type of service that matches how amazing the food is. Overall the food was a 4.5/5 and the service was a 2/5.
