Used Yelp to find a diner near us and Maxfield's popped so we came. As soon as you enter the door, the greeter is there with smiles and laughs. The place was packed! I ordered the Gourmet Burger which has grilled onions, peppers, and American cheese. Yummy! My daughter had a Turkey Club. The turkey was real roasted turkey and was delish! The prices was also very reasonable. read more

I just waited for 20 minutes to be seated for lunch with my dad, my 4 year old, 2 year old and an infant only to have the hostess treat me with the utmost disrespect. When she called our name to be seated, she raised her voice at me, was condescending and rude because I failed to mention I had an infant in a car seat. When I replied that it was fine and that we would wait, she continued to beraid me. I expressed I didn't appreciate being treated like that, and we left. Needless to say, my family will never be setting foot in there again. read more

Solid breakfast and friendly staff. Good place to take the kids.

I love ordering breakfast from Maxfield's!! They are so nice and they treat my coworkers and I like royalty! They are also very generous with the food and the prices are very reasonable. They are amazing! read more

Local breakfast hub with friendly service and large servings. While it isn't urban trendy, it beats IHOP hands down.

Came with high expectations wasn't disappointed at all with the service once again five star rating

What a great breakfast!! Nice and clean with a friendly staff. Huge portions and very reasonable prices. My new breakfast spot!

Took the family for breakfast one day and just loved the omelettes and pancakes. My sisters a vegetarian and didn't notice ham was an ingredient in her omelette but they got a new one right away for her. My second visit I got the chocolate chip pancakes, OMG so light and soft...mouth watering! read more

Maxfield's Pancake House - Steak n eggs with substitute waffles instead of pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Maxfield's is more like Maxfails because the food was just subpar. The first mistake that I made was ordering the pecan roll. It was dry and tasted like a bought in product and not made in house. The coffee was just as weak and the typical bottom of the barrel watery Sanka diner coffee. The second mistake was ordering the crepes and blintzs. The dough was an absolute disgrace to the classic French crepe. Both were super thick and doughy. They probably just used the pancake batter and made them thinner. The blueberry blintz was just filled with sweetened cottage cheese and a few blueberries. Not what I was expecting from a this blintz, but was hoping for a creamier cheese. The three sisters crepes were made with the same terrible batter and the fillings were just boring. The corned beef hash flavor was ok, but I would have like to have chunks of corned beef instead of finely shredded bits. Overall I wish I wouldn't have came here this morning and should've stuck with my original plan elsewhere. I would definitely not suggest anyone to come here and I will definitely not be returning. read more

Absolutely amazing breakfast spot with as many options for breakfast as your heart can desire. The prices are extremely reasonable and the food comes out quick, hot, and delicious. It's a classic diner style breakfast spot that lets you get a side of pancakes with your eggs. I have come here many times extremely hungry, and always leave full and happy :) read more

The food came out promptly, and the pancakes were great, but the sides of sausages were cold...not even a little bit warm. You have to ask yourself, how in the heck can a restaurant manage to serve cold meat after its been cooked. It's beyond logical comprehension...especially since so many reviewers have commented on the cold food. For gosh sakes buy a heat lamp at least. Would you serve cold sausages to your own family?...then why would you do it to customers? We're not asking you to reinvent the wheel...just apply heat and get a solid extra star with folks. read more

I love this place! It's my family's go-to brunch place, and I am always satisfied with my service. My favorite meal here is the chocolate chip pancakes, but today I had the cherry crepes. These are also one of my common choices, but I hadn't had them in a while. I wasn't disappointed. Our service was quick and friendly. I thoroughly enjoy my meals at Maxfield's, and I expect to continue to dine at this place. read more

I just recently started going to Maxfield's for a different restaurant experience. I've now been there on 3 separate occasions so I feel I can be fair in my assessment of this eatery. Here's my two cents. Service is slow, staff is disengaged and the food is ok. Appears not too many food substitutions are allowed if you desire to customize your food selections. With that being said, yes I will return in the future but for now I will be returning to my regular breakfast spot. read more

I always get breakfast here, but, my boyfriend has had lunch here several times. You just can't go wrong with the food here. The service is great and the environment is warm and welcoming. read more

The food is fine the service is inconsistent to bad. Waitress on last visit was rude but she gets 5 stars for being absent

Solid diner food. They have a great 2 egg, sausage/bacon, hash browns, and pancakes combo. But, eggs benedict needs work, eggs overcooked, ham to thick, and sauce not quite eight. Reasonably priced. read more

My party and I had a really nice time at Maxfield's. Everyone's orders were large and tasty and the staff was very polite and attentive. This place has a family owned, home-cooked vibe to it so it's a great choice for breakfast comfort food. It was packed on Sunday morning but we only waited about 15 minutes and the food came out quickly as well. I ordered a hashbrown scramble with cheddar, jalapenos, onions, and bacon with two eggs on top (the original has ham instead of bacon, but I subbed) that gave me about two days' worth of leftovers. My side of potato pancakes was AMAZING. I would go back just for an order of those potato pancakes. Our server was friendly and had quite the memory to take care of orders for a party of five. His only slip up was in giving me over easy eggs instead of scrambled but it certainly didn't break my heart- in fact, it was probably an improvement on my original order. Very nice comfort breakfast place- give it a try. read more

Pancakes are not the best. IHOP, the original pancake house, and Denny's are all better. Plus it's always packed. Would not recommend this place. read more

I love diner-style breakfast places. It's one of my biggest guilty pleasures. You can have all the fancy brunches you want -- I just want an over-sized omelette, greasy hash browns, and pancakes and I'm good to go. Maxfield's gives me just that. It's typically busy on weekends, especially with seniors and young families, but they often turn over tables quickly and I haven't waited more than 20 minutes. The Wauwatosa location seems a little better suited to larger groups -- I'd stick to 4 or less if you want to be seated here quickly. Servers are pretty friendly and attentive with coffee refills. Their omelettes are solid choices -- for something a little different, I'd recommend the Hawaii 5-0 which has bacon, ham, pineapple, and Monterey Jack cheese. Many dishes come with a side of buttermilk pancakes, which are delicious and sized just right. With most dishes under $10, it's a cost-friendly option. I'll happily return here for casual breakfasts. read more

Our sunday go too. Fast and friendly we have made this our spot since coming to the north shore a few years ago. Good size portions, consistent presentation and quality. read more

We go here for breakfast every once in a while but this Sunday it was very crowded (at least at the door because there were many tables open but no one was getting seated). The manager Wendy was probably the rudest person I have ever met in my life. I was there waiting holding my newborn infant in the carrier along with my two young cousins and my mother. There was a 20 minute wait and instead of helping us find somewhere to wait she kept asking us to move out of the way and I even told her please tell me where to go because there was no where to stand or sit, and she yelled out I don't know where just not here. Some of the customers felt sorry for us and offered is to set the baby in the carrier down at their table. Not wanting to intrude we politely declined and went to stand at the back near some of the empty booths. The server saw us standing there and offered us to sit there. Once the manager saw she forced us off the table. We than stood in the corner near the stack of chairs and the manager again comes over to us and tells us to move that we are in the way and I ask her where do you expect us to go and she mentioned we could go wait in the car. Taking our newborn back out in the cold was not an option for us but eventually we decided to just leave once it seemed clear she was going to do anything in her power to make our visit miserable. It's too bad because the servers were all really nice and trying to help us as well as the customers but we will never go back there again. At least not until they change their management. read more

One of the best and most popular breakfast/brunch/lunch places in the Milwaukee/Ozaukee area. On a Sunday morning, you'll have a wait, but it goes pretty quickly. Not for the hearing impaired! Service is great; personnel are friendly and helpful, every one of them! Coffee is plentiful. Highly recommend their skillets and crepes... but then, never had anything that wasn't great! If you're a local, expect to run into about 6 people you know on any given day. read more

Similar to an IHOP, but it's great to support a local spot. Food is way more than enough and prices are great. Always pretty easy to get a table, even on a busy weekend. read more

Not a fan. Often when we visit we have issues with the hostesses during busy Sunday mornings. It seems as if there is never any planning taking place if you have a larger party and if you ask a question you always get a rude reply from the hostess. Making manners worse, talking to the owner gets you the same answer - "People love my staff." Clearly he does not read his reviews online or speak with his customers (I know plenty who think the exact same thing) because it is easy to see that my family is not the only one who experiences issues like this. I think if the owner spent more time at the business he would understand what is going on. read more

A very nice diner with a full breakfast and nice lunch menu! Our family with a table of 6 called ahead 1 hour and they (although they were very busy) sat us right away. If you don't call ahead there may be a wait, but this is expected at good breakfast places on a Sunday morning. The staff (servers name was Bianca) came by with coffee and greeted us as we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Our orders were taken and food served very promptly. We are pretty easy in our orders but little things like "hollandaise on the side" and extra hash browns were not forgotten. May sound silly but having a breakfast for six come out quickly without a single forgotten item is an A in my book. Most of us had breakfast items (scotch eggs were cooked perfectly, as I have had them overdone all too often). But my sister had a HUGE excellent looking chicken and strawberry salad lunch item. We travel though this area annually on family vacation and hope to make this our traditional brunch stop next year too. Lastly the bathrooms were clean.- again maybe a strange reason to judge a restaurant but I think it's an indicator of cleanliness in the restaurant as a whole. read more

In town for a graduation - great breakfast, and nice place for a family to eat together and talk. The pancakes are great, and the breakfast specials are a great deal for the money. Real old time customer service, both at the front door and at the table. No reason to eat at a chain restaurant when a local place will do! read more

The food at Bayside location worst ever. I sent a salad back. A Greek salad. I ate something else here years ago same experience, no taste very bland perfect for folks on a restricted diet. Strange thing is the place stays packed....with families and older folks. Not worth the time. read more

If you are looking for a low-priced but filling breakfast this is the place to come. The food hits the spot and the pancakes are tasty, which obviously come with every meal since it's a pancake house. read more

I found Maxfields to have great food. There is nothing that isn't good. A very friendly place.,

It's okay...full of lots of old people, I ordered breakfast and it was not that great. The only good part were the hashbrowns.

Excellent place for breakfast! I frequent Maxfields during the week for breakfast. The service and food are fantastic. They have free WIFI and during the week, Maxfields is not too crowded, making it a perfect place for morning meetings or getting some work done before going into the office. Overall, I love the breakfast food and service. One of the top breakfast places on my list! read more

My wife and I love this place for breakfast, you may have to wait a little while to get a seat but it is worth it. The seating area can be tight depending on the table area your seated at but the pancakes are the best in Milwaukee (at this location only), the service is nice and makes sure you have everything you need throughout your breakfast. The eggs are cooked just the way you order them. Great menu, big parking area, always a good overall experience. read more
