Came to Milwaukee very early for a medical appointment and decided to have breakfast down the road from the doctor. Immediately greeted upon entering. Not many people there when we arrived but about 6 tables arrived by the time we left. I ordered a southwestern skillet, eggs cooked over medium, and a side of toast. My eggs were cooked PERFECTLY (as you can tell by the photo) with a perfectly runny yolk but completely cooked whites. They forgot the sour cream and salsa but it's okay. The chicken had a great flavor and I loved the crisp tender vegetables. Hubby ordered meat lovers skillet with pancakes on the side. He also ordered a bowl of sausage gravy. He asked for no veggies. They forgot the side of sausage gravy but he asked for it because he likes to place it on his skillet. He said the pancakes were the highlight. He also doesn't normally bring home leftovers but the skillet was good enough, he chose to bring it home and eat it that afternoon. What was special about the pancakes was the vanilla flavor all throughout. If we had to go to Milwaukee for another doctor appointment, we'd return. read more

Maxfield's Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Ordered ala cart. Sausages were burnt and over done both orders of toast were cold and tasted like bread was stale. Biscuits and gravy were so so and poached eggs were poached hard. Oh by the way I was their only customer at 8:05 am on 06/08/2026. Restaurant was extremely filthy bathrooms were gross and not clean, benches all torn and scratched and tables were sticky like never wiped down. This restaurant has gone from a top breakfast spot to one I will stay away from due to the ownership group and management not caring about offering quality food and a quality dining experience. read more

This is still such a great breakfast place! The service is amazing and the food is great. Always curious why there are not more people in here. We love it! read more

Maxfield's Pancake House - Breakfast No. 1 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Got the country fried steak with eggs, hashbrown, and pancakes. Food was just okay in my opinion. The restaurant was slow and quiet since we got there shortly after it opened. They do add an automatic 18% gratuity on food and tax, even for our party of 4 which was slightly off putting. read more

Server was adequate,didn't seem to want to be there. We had a table near the kitchen and workers were loud, using inappropriate language. At one point there were no workers anywhere for at least 15 minutes. Customers had to go looking for someone to get their bill. I can see why there were maybe 4 tables at lunch time. Will not go back and will not recommend. read more

I used to loveeeee this location. However, quality/service has definitely declined. Gave them a second try this morning and while my food came out quickly.. the only thing hot was the coffee that I received. My waitress was pleasant but Never again.. Very disappointed read more

It was noon, but most of us wanted to breakfast food so this seemed like a logical choice. The restaurant was pretty busy, but no wait. Our server was friendly and prompt. Everyone enjoyed their food. I wanted sweet and salty... so I went with a BYO (build your own) skillet with pancakes. I chose turkey sausage, onion, green pepper, mushroom, cheddar cheese, and roasted potatoes for my skillet. I upgraded the side of pancakes to blueberry. Decent sized portions. The pancakes definitely hit the spot. All of the ingredients were fresh. My mom went with the Monte Cristo. It was huge so she had leftovers. My husband chose the country fried steak and nearly cleared his plate. My dad ordered the kitchen sink skillet. It came out as an omelet, but he ate it anyway. This is a great spot with options for everyone. Huge menu, tasty food. read more

Black owned! It was great to see black employees when greeted and host our table. Multicultural employees working the kitchen! Loved to see it. We were there for breakfast and it was good. My kids enjoyed splitting a Maxfield's special. The portions for all the meals were filling. We took nothing home. Price was average. Clean environment. Peaceful environment for the morning. Loved the location. Must try business! Enjoy. read more

DO'T EAT HERE. THEY PRACTICE JIM CROW!!! my children an I visited on Saturday, February 21st. Upon my arrival and when being seated I noticed all the white customer were seated on one side and all the black customers were seated on the other side. I was shown to the black side. I waited for roughly ten minutes and watched the same pattern for the next 5 groups that arrived. I felt uncomfortable and when the waitress arrived I told her that I was not eating here and will tell the hostess what she is doing is wrong. The waitress said that another customer noticed the same thing as me. When I approached the hostess she immediately because defensive and said look there are some. black people in the white area. She also made reference to liking black people or she would not hire them to do the service work. is it was a coincidence and she did not notice that would not have been the response. When I was leaving the practically all black staff came out to see what was transpirin. People should really stand up for themselves. Don't support racist establishments in any capacity. read more

Sometimes I have to get away from the East side. It's convenient to where I live and there's a lot of great places, but it's easy to get in a rut. Been there, done that. So on an impulse I went to Fox Point and got some breakfast. Maxfield's Pancake House's interior makes me think of a chain all-night breakfast place but if it were a Mom-and-Pop. It was busy though not over-crowded. The carpets and bathrooms have maybe seen better days. The servers were doing a creditable job managing the traffic--tables turning over, large parties, kids, etc. Service was efficient, not hover-y. I'm usually more of a savory-breakfast person even though the pancakes and crepes were tempting. I always say I'm going to get French toast or something and then end up with an omelet because it seems like a better deal. Though in this case pancakes are available as a side to most of the breakfast items. And they were the best part of my meal--fluffy with whipped real butter and syrup. My Greek omelet was good but less memorable. Next time I'll probably stick with the pancakes. The orange juice is fresh squeezed which was nice. I don't get over here often but this was a nice stop. The menu is huge and it would be a good place for a group or a family with picky eaters. Truth is I like places like this with their down-to-earth charm. And pancakes. read more

If the servers were a little more professional looking, I'd give it a 5 star rating. Service was average. Wasn't so bad but it wasn't great either. Both the servers were wearing hoodies so we didn't know they were servers. Was kinda weird. But the food we had was delicious! Made up for it. Sausages, nice plump and perfectly cooked. Loved the potatoes and my fiancée said the country fried was pretty good. read more

The restaurant is clean and bright. The wait staff was pleasant. My friend ordered the 2-2-2 breakfast. Everything was fine. My Popeye's crepe was not what I expected. The basic crepe was sweet, not savory, so the tastes did not blend well. The onions and spinach was good. I expected the cheese to be inside the crepe with hollandaise sauce on the top. Instead, there was a large blob of melted cheese on top, and I really didn't see or taste the hollandaise. Hence, it was a disappointment. I ate one of the three crepes and did not ask for a box. It should have been a clue to the server that I did not enjoy it. I think their sweet, fruit crepes would be fine. I would give the restaurant another try, just not order a savory crepe. read more

I love this place. If you are looking for amazing breakfast or brunch this is your place. The corn beef has skillet was so good. Pancakes or toast came with it. Homemade corn beef hash. The staff was so friendly and attentive. There is so many good options to choose from and will definitely be coming back. Delicious. Serving portions are huge. read more

Best corned beef hash I've had in a long time. The sausage was just so so to me but someone else might really like it. Great quick service and my mom liked the dine coffee they had. We will be back. read more

Dropped in here for breakfast on a Wednesday around 11:30, and there was plenty of seating available. This is a great place for families, offering a kids menu and booths for seating. The silver dollar pancakes were a perfect size for my 1 year old granddaughter, who ate all of them just using her fingers. The blueberry pancakes were delicious with real, nicely sized blueberries mixed throughout. All the pancakes were nicely sized, light and fluffy. Absolutely perfect! I tried the Eggs Benedict Benny and thought the taste was good, but the English muffin was flattened and not crunchy like an English muffin, and the hollandaise sauce didn't have that classic sheen I've come to expect (if you are big into Eggs Benedict you'll understand what I mean). Still, the corned beef hash and poached eggs served with it were perfect. This is a casual place with a large menu, great for satisfying any pancake craving you may have. read more

We craved a delicious lazy Sunday breakfast and they certainly answered! Before I get to the food bit, the part where Ill give them 5 stars equally was how accommodating they were to our Customized orders and managed to get it all correctly made! We ordered a portion each of Kitchen Sink Omelette (Customized to Corned Beef Hashbrowns and Strawberry Pancakes) and Meat Lovers Omelette (Customized to Corned Beef Hashbrowns and Chocolate Chip Pancakes). From the moment we did the take out and put the food in our car, the aroma of what we were about to dig into just wrapped us up in pure bliss! The omelettes were moist, cheesy delicious and man were they generous with the fillings! It felt like ones you would make at home for your family! But the real star of the show was the Corned Beef Hash. Ive had quite a few Corned Beef Hash in my time and its almost always been, not to get too mathematical here, 70% potato and 30% meat...Here however, it almost felt the other way around!!! And the meat itself was perfectly cooked and balanced with the fat content. Loved it!!! Last but not the least at all, the pancakes were thick, fluffy and perfectly sweet. You could make out they werent some store or factory manufactured ones that were so used to eating at chain restaurants. The food wasn't cheap, $40 for 2 Omelettes but you really do get a lot for your money, both in portion and flavor!! The ladies who helped get our order in place were very professional and amicable so thank yo for that! We'll certainly be making this a frequent haunt of ours!! read more

I had a really good breakfast here! The service was outstanding and the food was really good. I had the biscuits and gravy along with grits. All really good. The grits even had options for cheese or shrimp! The prices are very reasonable with good portions. I will be back when I visit Milwaukee again! read more

We were here to celebrate Mothers Day Got there about 10:00AM Crowded yes but it was Sunday morning as well a great place to take mom or dad both will enjoy! Bring the kids, bring a date, come alone I feel all would be happy and content. I personally love their breakfast links and hash browns We had crepes, waffles and corned beef hash; and all left full! Took a star off because we took some food to go and the to go order had el cheap silverware! Would be nice if they did an upgrade!! JS read more

I'd say really more of a 2.5 It is middling of a restaurant The food is par for a diner on some things (e.g., eggs, hash browns, breakfast potatoes) subpar on others (e.g., pancakes, French toast, bacon, sausage) The staff were fine, nothing that stood out either bad or good I would not go back on my own, just because the food was not good enough to go back on my own accord. If someone wanted to go (and they paid*), I might consider it if I could not convince them to go else where *-they do not allow splitting the check read more

Came here with a good friend for brunch, and Maxfield's really delivered! We put our names down and were anticipating to wait 15 minutes based off of the number of people we saw ahead of us. However, things moved very quickly and we waited only 5 mins before being seated. This place is busy, and after coming here I can see why! I ordered the garden of eatin skillet with hash browns and pancakes. I love brunch food, and I often lean toward savory options but I really loved how I was able to have both! I was starving when I came and I inhaled all of the food. It was delicious and I walked out of there very full #noregrets. Service here is also great! I tend to judge by my water cup, and I was never without it. They even brought me another cup of water when they saw my first one was 1/4 full. Will definitely be coming back here again! read more

The fact that they won't even answer the phone to write down a take out order, says enough to me When we called back later, they last was very, very combative and downright mean. Her excuse was that she was alone and didn't had time to answer. She was very short and curt. The other Maxfields in Fox Points is doing its best to distance themselves from this location in Wauwatosa. The location in Fox Point gets three complaints per day on average. Don't go here, the food ain't worth it and the employees aren't friendly at all. read more

I was in the area for a family matter. At the hotel I asked three separate people where to go for breakfast. All three cheerfully said Maxfields. They were not wrong! Licated in a stripmall area this restaurant is very good, filling, very tasty breakfast. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. When I am back in town I will definitely stop in even for a to go breakfast... it is that good read more

The food was horrible.. I order an egg Benedict... believe it was egg bednedict Midwestern or something . Waiters were polite and gave good service.. however, the chef seems inexperience. I ate my egg Benedict with dice with chicken and the chicken was over cook and so hard. It ruin my appetite. The cheese that was pour onto my poach egg was cook to a point where the cheese had separation of oil.. the appearance of my fondue cheese sauce look like it was curdle, but it's not.. it was the oil.. my hash brown was cook to a point where it was a little hard to chew also.. I though hot sauce would be able to fix it or ketchup.. -but nope. read more

I just love this place. I have been going here since they first opened and it is still as good as the first visit. My favorite is the ham and 3 eggs meal with fresh fruit. It's not to heavy and you can't go wrong with ham if it's your thing. I have ordered many things on the menu but this is the one that I go back too each and every time. read more

Maxfield's Pancake House - Ham and eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Our beloved North Ave Grill has been closed for remodeling and so we've been exploring back up breakfast places and decided to try Maxwells. I wasn't expecting anything exciting from a place in a strip mall near Mayfair, but I was wrong. Maxwells delivers a solid experience at really reasonable prices. The interior is definitely nicer than "standard diner", and they are only open for breakfast/lunch. Menu-wise, as might be expected there is a focus on pancakes - there are a dozen variants including bacon pancakes and even a baked German version. If you don't want pancakes there are plenty of egg dishes, combinations, a whole page of specials and even crepes and blintzes. I ordered a special which was basically scrambled eggs and ham, served with fruit and potato pancakes for.....$5.99. Serious bargain, people - the ham scrambler at George Webbs is north of $8 these days. Better yet, my breakfast was really good - everything was well cooked and not greasy. Even their potato pancakes were above average which surprised me. Service was good too - our server seemed to know many people by name, which is always a good sign. Definitely looking forward to a return visit here! read more

Maxfield's Pancake House - All this for $6 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

My vote for best breakfast restaurant in the Milwaukee area, hands down. Well worth the wait if you go there when it is busy. We've eaten there a dozen times since they opened up, a little less than a year ago. Never had a bad experience. Never less than an excellent meal and have never received less that excellent service. Outstanding baked pancakes. Outstanding french toast. Outstanding sausage links; in fact, the best link sausage I've ever eaten in any restaurant. The OJ is amazing; when I asked about it, I was told that they have cartons of oranges delivered daily at the restaurant and that the OJ is fresh squeezed. (No wonder the OJ is a wow). The management/owners know how to run a restaurant and obviously put a lot into their own management and the training and supervision of employees. Once seated, you are greeted quickly and asked what you want to drink. Plenty of servers here that are efficient, service oriented and helpful. Bus help that keeps coffee and other drinks topped off. read more

My first visit and was rather happy with my experience. Got together with some friends for breakfast and this is for sure the place for breakfast. They have just about any kind of breakfast food you can imagine. The prices are reasonable and the food was good. Very happy with the Hawaii 5-0, omelet and the polish sausage and eggs. The coffee was a wee bit on the strong side but isn't a morning jolt what it's for? Besides, there's a Starbucks next door and you have to compete. I'll be back for more. read more

Visited Maxfield's around 1:00p this past Sunday. I've been coming here for years but I have to admit I was less than enthused this last time. I ordered the crab Benedict. It was decent. The potatoes were very greasy. I had the cappuccino which tasted amazing and of course the orange juice (fresh squeezed). Now for reason for the 3 stars. I requested lemons with my water to which I was told that due to covid they cannot give me lemons because they have to cut them. If this were not a restaurant that serves food and fresh squeezed orange juice that would be alittle more believable. Service was a bit slow as well. We waited a while to get the check after finished eating. Compared to all of the great experiences I've had here over the years at much busier times I'd have to say this wasn't the best this restaurant can do. Edit to add: I thought the $1.00 price increase was a bit ridiculous. It should be reflected in the overall pricing of the entree not as an additional charge. Makes me think I was charged twice. Especially since it says there is an increase in pricing all over the page. read more

Service is really slow. From my seat I was glancing accross the parking lot where there is a Starbucks. I bet my wife that I could stoll over there and return with a coffee before I was served. Hense the said proof, and picture of my Starbucks coffee. I should have read the recent reviews and not the paid Elite Yelp reviews. Sadly Yelp doesn't let you sort by date . Food was ok came warm and was cooked ok. I didn't mind the hashbrowns but I understand that some people wouldn't like the mushy center. Ok - but not with return trip hance two Stars. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place. I'm normally not a pancake person but they have converted me. Best pancakes ever!!! My favorite dish is the Kitchen Sink Scramble. It is just like it sounds, everything but the kitchen sink. Service here is so awesome. Everyone is very nice and meals come quickly. Absolutely totally recommend!! read more

Ordered the cherry French toast which looked good on menu. Food came,it was ice cold. Sent it back and waitress told me they were remaking it. Food came back and it was still my order(took a forkful of French toast,that's how I knew it was cold). Waitress took it back again and i felt like they were inconvenienced because I sent it back. French toast came without what it was supposed to be. And they added 18% tip on top of it. French Toast read more

My husband and I are always looking for new places (especially brunch places) to eat. Maxfield's menu looked pretty good so we gave it a try. Good food. Decent service. Just not quite the brunch we've grown accustomed to here in Milwaukee. This is definitely more of a diner that has a good breakfast than brunch. No bloodies or mimosas or Irish coffees to be had, but let me tell you the pecan pancakes were ON POINT!! read more

Swung into Maxfield's a couple of weeks ago after receiving an advertisement in a local mailer. Monday morning, shortly after opening, and my toddler daughter and I had the place practically to ourselves. It is much bigger than it looks from the outside! Service was fast and very friendly. My mistake in not asking for a kid's menu, but the waffle was enormous! I had the Denver omelette and a side of sausage and rye toast. The omelette was just "OK;" I think next time I will opt for a skillet version. We had plenty of leftovers to bring home as well. Overall a solid visit; we will most likely return when we have guests in town next. read more
