Welcoming sports bar in Southern Pines. Service is a bit slow, but the food is worth the wait and the employees are friendly. We ordered loaded nachos for $18, loaded potato wedges for $10, Cajun firestix chicken $15, French dip $14, half dozen wings $10, side sweet potato fries $5, and house salad with grilled shrimp $22. We liked each of the items ordered and found them well portioned and reasonably priced. I especially liked the grilled shrimp salad. It was packed with fresh ingredients that I could enjoy over 2 meals. read more

After a really hard week which ended with having to spend the day in the hospital as a patient. Eight o'clock at night. Nothing to eat all day and really looking forward to a hamburger with fries to take home. Got home, got my Pepsi, fed the dog popped the lid on the takeout box to black overcooked French fries. Maybe think about the person getting the French fries next time. You wouldn't have served them to someone in the restaurant but you could give them to someone who was going to drive away before they found out. That was mean, just mean. read more

Great place in southern pines- Plenty of parking, Upon entering you see various sports teams on the wall and through out the bar. Plenty of TV's to watch your game. The owner is usually found serving behind the bar - very friendly. We sat at a table (8) of us. Service was slow- she was nice- charged us tip on the receipt (not telling us) - saved us some money. (They also charge extra for credit cards) Food was very good- I had the shrimp Po boy - a good bit of bread but because the roll was fresh I didn't mind. Best part was the onion rings- they actually taste like onions!! read more

I'm sure it deserves a 5 star rating for a pub. It's loud with people having fun. I came just for dinner. Pork bbq sandwich very average, greek salad side fantastic. Prices fair and service good. I thought it was great but know that it's more bar than grill. Grill is good. If you don't mind a loud crowd. I think it's very good. read more

Maxie's is hands-down one of our favorite spots in Pinehurst. Great food, chill atmosphere, and it's one of the few places in the Village where locals and tourists both feel right at home. We had a group of 15 in town for a golf trip (Mid Pines, Talamore, Pine Needles), and even though it was one of their busiest nights, Maxie's made room for us in the back -- that alone deserves a huge shoutout since they don't usually take reservations. Service was on point and the whole crew had a blast. The burgers are unbeatable, and if you're around on a Wednesday, the fried chicken is a must. Huge beer selection and the fact that you can still order pitchers? That's rare these days and makes it feel like an old-school hangout in the best way. Whether you're inside watching a game or outside on the patio with live music, Maxie's always delivers. Family-friendly, dog-friendly, and just a solid place to kick back after a round. read more

Food service. Crowded for a reason. It's great! Great place ,I love it here! Slightly packed but thats fine! read more

Great little sports bar. Good atmosphere, great wings, and other apps. Would definitely go back when in town.

Great Sports bar. Fantastic staff, that works hard. The food is outstanding. A great place to watch football on a Saturday and Sunday

Best onion rings in Michgan, 10 out of 10 would order again. Great for football and tvs

Have not been since the pandemic. Its primarily a bar BUT their burgers are literally to die for. Its the only place I can get toppings like brie, avocado, pepper and all the usual fare. The service is friendly and efficient. Lunch and dinner are basically the same menu. read more

Didn't want to go to a chain, but wanted something near the USGA HOF.....this place looked good and it didn't disappoint! Fried pickles were hit and crisp......the burger, Reuben and chicken salad all had to be boxed up since it was plentiful....probably one of the best burgers I've had. read more

Love Maxie's! Food is always good and wonderful atmosphere! Great place to watch football games.

Sat outside with our dog and enjoyed the sunshine, good food and friendly service. Would return when in town again. read more

Maxie's Grill and Tap Room is the best sports bar in Pinehurst. The spot where all the locals congregate. Well priced drinks and food. Best quality and value in the village. read more

It's a bar with good food. Pickles were great. Fire sticks were tasty. Serving sizes were large. The service both at the bar and at the table were great. The bar is low key and easy going. Lots of TVs and super chill environment. Feels like a local place amongst all the resort properties. read more

Amazing food and service. Great local spot with friendly people and amazing bar food. Will be a regular spot for us!

It's a little gem of a spot. Food was really prepared well and the service was good. We would eat here again.

I am loving quality of food served up at Maxie's Grill. It has improved significantly over past few years and has become our go to place for fast service and good food at a reasonable price. Turkey (California) Rueben is best in town. Chicken Quesadilla also excellent. Great tater tots served up hot and plenty. Amazing barbecue plate. Great casual and friendly atmosphere with seating outside all year round when weather conducive. Has a welcoming feel. Conveniently located next door to Pinehurst Pizza. read more

Awesome food, Awesome staff, Awesome atmosphere!!! The go to place for a sandwich and a beer.

This was my first visit and it was great! TVs everywhere, not too loud, and everyone seemed to be having a great afternoon. There are a lot of choices on the menu and highly suggest getting the sweet potato fries- they are the best! read more

Awesome pricing on drinks and food. It's not upscale or pretentious, more of a "local" and "spot for regulars" vibe. Staff and patrons are friendly. Very dog friendly. read more

We've been coming here for years - from work lunches to date days with my husband and even bringing the kiddos sometimes. Food is always great! read more

Best wings in town. The food is always fresh and the staff is friendly. One of our go-to restaurants!

Waited an hour and half. Food was decent, probably not going here again. There were about 7 open tables. Yet the waitress was complaint about double waiting. I honestly feel bad for the waitress, the restaurant was understaffed and you could tell she was always rushing around read more

First time here. Decent drinks and prices. Unfortunately too many smokers on the patio - right in front of the "no smoking" sign. I've never been to a restaurant with an outdoor dining area that allowed smoking these days. Disappointed because it seemed like a nice neighborhood place with friendly locals but I don't enjoy eating in a continuous cloud of smoke. read more

Doesn't look like much, but really really good! My husband got the wings-WOW! They were huge, and good!!!! The cheese fries were super crispy. My steak salad was only alright. However the key lime pie is the best in town!!!!! Super, puckery good with just the right level of sweet for balance. They had great TV coverage (we were there on baseball's opening day & got to see all the games from every angle). The waitress was sweet and helpful. read more

Local, warm and friendly, which is a welcome option given the plethora of chains in this area. Off the beaten path close to my parents home on the way to the village. Big bar with comfort food staples. The wings were the real deal, lots of different sauces to try. Husband had the mushroom clam chowder, Reuben, both which he loved. My California Cobb was good as well. Our server was super helpful, said the soup had free refills. Lots of tv screens and even a small section of tables in the back if you wanted less 'game' with your food. Bummed we are just finding this place after coming to Pinehurst all these years. read more

Lunch for two adults and one child (burger, chicken salad sandwich and chicken tenders) was $45 and we all ordered water to drink. That's outrageous for bar food. read more

This is a local Pinehurst bar. It's a "Jersey dive bar" with a golfing tilt. Plenty of beer options and limited food options. HOWEVER, it does have the closest genuine Philly Cheesesteak in the Sandhills. Get it wit the cheezewiz and onions. read more

I visited Maxie's for the first time with family for dinner during the week. The atmosphere was promising, but after we walked in we stood at the door waiting for a good while to be greeted or even acknowledged. The only staff around during that time was the bartender so I tried to make eye contact. When he saw us he directed us to a table and gave us menus. We decided what we wanted and put our menus down on the table and waited; I tried again to catch the attention of the staff but no one came. I've held restaurant jobs and I understand that they get crowded and staff get busy. But when no one takes your drink order or even says "I'll be right with you," that's kind of ridiculous. We had been there approximately 25 minutes when we decided to leave. I haven't left a restaurant due to poor service until now. Very unsatisfied with our experience at Maxie's especially for a place whose menu boasts that it's a "friendly neighborhood grill and bar." read more

This place has a full-bar on the inside with pub seating. Outside there are about 4-5 big round tables with umbrellas. A girlfriend and I decided to stop in for lunch. I enjoyed a tasty Bloody Mary outside under the umbrellas on a perfectly warm 'n' sticky spring day. I ordered a Veggie Burger Ruben with salad (not on the menu but should be!). It was fresh and flavorful. She got a burger and really liked it. We tried their asparagus and portabella fries. Greasy but fun. I never thought I'd eat fried food again but it's proven near impossible, living in the south. I'm constantly renewing my vow to my arteries that I'll never eat another bite of that cholesterol laden crack. Service was EXCELLENT. Our server, Bobby, kept the drinks coming and made sure everything was perfect. In a land of snooty restaurants vs. greasy fast food I'm happy to have found a casual, high quality, fairly priced lunch stop with great service to boot. Minus one star because their menu could use vegetarian options that don't involve the fryer. read more

Strongly dislike their food. Their "chargrilled" food (which is most everything on the menu) tastes like lighter fluid and is very dry... I don't know how else to describe it. Good place for drinks and sports... Perfect spot to watch the game! Only great thing is their "grilled stickies" dessert, which earns them 2 stars overall. Bottom line: Perfect spot for sports, drinks, and dessert. I will never go here for a meal, again. read more

Came here with a friend while in town for work, and I must say I was very surprised by this small little building. It is a great sports bar for sure. Plenty of TVs. However, it is so much more than that - it is a great place to eat! Their menu is very comprehensive, which includes salads, vegetarian options, turkey burgers, and classic bar food. Their wait staff is equally friendly and nice. When our app of chips was actually behind our main course - it was comp'd automatically. Its atmosphere is relaxed and populated by the usual crowd it seems. Along with tons of sports on tv, the place is sometimes loud. But mostly subdued. Everything on the menu is under $10. However, you order a burger for $6 and add $1.50 wedge fries and a $2 tea. So its not all one meal. But they have SO many options for sides and toppings, that you can really create your own priced budget meal! When in Pinehurst, its hard to find places to eat during the evening that are cheap and fun. Not to mention actually open. Maxie's was a pleasurable experience. Even after finishing our meal and paying the tab, the waitress still filled our drinks. read more

Great place to grab a beer or two, some decent food, and to watch whatever live sporting event that's going on for the day. If your teams playing, chances are that Maxie's has it showing on one of their many big screens. Seating has never been an issue except when big time sports events are going on. The staff here is really friendly, I've been to Maxies a multitude of times, had various waitresses, and all have done an exceptional job of service. This best food i've had here is by far their steak burgers. Possibly the best I have had in the South (much better then 5 guys or chop house), and they offer a wide selection of toppings to throw on it. Another good choice is the mexiburger, the meats been mixed with chorizo, and it makes for a fantastic meal. Their philly cheesesteak(wit real cheez whiz or provolone) is the best in the area. You must give these a shot: *Best Burgers I've had in NC *Best Philly Cheesesteak in the Pinehurst-Sopines-Ab area *Request Frankie as your server, she's the awesomest! read more

This place is great! I love their burgers and wings. Definitely come here if you're looking for a more low key/casual place.

First time here, maybe giving it another try soon. I came with a friend and we wanted a local spot for a few drinks. Well this is it. Good local feel with average drink selection. The atmosphere, cute and casual. Tvs at most tables, decent cleanliness. Foo, not really that good. We tried a few of the starters with a main dish. Nothing popular was healthy. Most of the food was not unique. Sent back the egg rolls. Service was friendly but definitely casual. Seeing the server go have a smoke and not being very professional was of set that she was attentive and somewhat friendly. Good for a new spot but doubt we will be regulars. read more

We just moved to Pinehurst from San Antonio and have been to Maxie's 4 times already. It's a great local spot with a full bar and plenty of beer on tap. The food is delicious! I always order the catfish platter with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. For $14, it's a steal! The inside has traditional tavern decor and there's a small patio outside. It's a great spot to grab dinner and a drink. Many of the locals hang out here. It's a great place! read more

Maxie's Grill & Tap Room - Having a beer at Maxie's! - American Near Me - Pinehurst, North Carolina

My parents live in the area, so we make an appearance 4-5 times a year. This is the place for locals and where workers from the Pinehurst Resorts meet up after work. Beer is cold. Food is above average bar fare. Lots of sports games on TV. I suspect a lot of gamblers hang out there. Saw a few group of guys really into a Wyoming University college football game. I have only been in the afternoon and they have food for little kids. Try the soups, they are really good. read more

Took a break from unpacking to find some football on TV. Found this place on yelp and it's great! Amazing atmosphere, tasty food and beer specials on the weekend. What more can you ask for?? read more

My only complaint about Maxie's in trivial at best. The place seems to be having an identity crisis. The food is that of a nice place to take a date, but the atmosphere is definitely sports bar. My wife and I went to Maxie's because a friend said the burger there was the best in the area. When we arrived the excellent waitress described the meat on a skewer and next thing I know I was sold! The skewers were TOP NOTCH! I enjoyed every bite of it! We will definitely be coming back to Maxie's! read more
