    Food was amazing
    Tamika V.

    I was craving fried fish tonight . I just had to have it. Im scrolling through Yelp trying to find a place to eat fish and then I scrolled upon her. Maxine's On The Boulevard. I was driving and looking for this place. It wasn't lite up, sign was dark, but I caught the name Maxine and I said that's it, made a u turn, and parked around the corner. I thought to myself this is a hole in the wall. People where coming in and out of this place. I called a head of time and asked if they had catfish and whiting and she said yes. Baby, let me tell you I ordered my food and that was one of the best fish and chicken I had in queens so far. This is going to be my soul food spot from now and I hope they stay consistent. This place is a must try.

    I haven't updated my reviews in a while but if you can tell from the amount of check ins I have here this place is still 10/10! I love the service and the food. They know who I am and always give me a little special treatment when I come to pick up my order.

    It's soupy

    The food is good chicken seasoned nicely with yams tasty and macaroni cheesey but the service you get when you come in to the establishment is appalling disrespectful worker being rude to you the whole experience even when ordering. There are no seats or tables to sit at,and zero ac in hot weather. I recommend just door dashing from this restaurant.

    Cake

    Horrible customer service, I ordered uber and they forgot to put the cake in bag I let that go. A few weeks later I ordered through uber and they forgot 3pcs of cake , I had to go pick it up and they didn't even give a extra slice or anything for putting me out of my way. Not good business.

    Potato salad, rice, and beans and collard greens

    Food came quickly and tasted good. I had to honey mustard wing dinner. With a side of extra potato salad and rice and beans.

    Was craving for fish and chips. My husband brought me here after Covid vaccination as a treat. It is a great choice. I was happy with my food. The service is fast, we did not wait that long for our take out order. The pricing for whiting and fries order is pretty dope. Fresh fried and delectable. Seasoned to perfection.

    One of my favorite little places when you are craving some good whitening fish, you must stop here!! The Blvd. always puts there foot in there cooking!! I love the fact that when you order the fish it's made to order so it's never just sitting there, it's always crispy and fresh!! The flavors of the fish is simply juicy and flavored to perfection!! My favorite side I typically get is the collard greens!! Which just by itself you can get full off of!! The macaroni and cheese is good as well.. If your craving some soul food/ comfort food this is a must try spot!!

    Ask the Community - Maxine's on the Boulevard

    What's included w/ the dinners? The menu lists "dinners" but doesn't explain what that includes, even when I click on the item to order.

    How's the whiting?

    Husband says its good. Not super dry.

    Is there inside seating?

    Very little seating but, it does.

There is an area for dining which is a large space. There is an area for a private party off to the side, and there is an area where a bar is located far inside the place. It was nice. The food was delicious. Better than I expected. I have seen this restaurant there for YEARS. I may have tried it once over 15 years ago. Things have definitely changed and I am impressed. The ribs (which I didn't taste but someone at the table did) looked amazing. They were huge beef ribs, similar to flinstone dinosaur ribs!!!!! I heard that they were tasty too. The fried catfish and shrimp entree was what I ordered and it was amazing. The sides as well. The service was spectacular. Everything that was needed and asked for, was provided. No questions asked. Thanks again for a lovely night out with the fam. My father enjoyed his birthday dinner.

CatFish and shrimp was fresh seasoned and crispy with a light crust. Cornbread, corn and potato salad were very tasty as well. Family setting with lots of seating. Clean Booths and large table settings. Waiters are friendly and your food arrives hot and tasty. I thoroughly enjoy eating here because I know the fish is fresh. My honey enjoyed his waffles. They were large. fluffy and covered with white powdered sugar. The chicken was seasoned and crispy. Our refreshments were Mason jars filled with sweet teas which is one of their specialty drinks. Such a Delicious meal! Check out this restaurant if you're ever in the area. You won't be disappointed. Straight up for real!

    First things first. They're kosher. Like Rabbi and all. Secondly. The food is incredible!!…read moreDelicious, hearty, filling and above all true to BBQ. The prices are a bit on the steep side but you're getting quality. Call in advance for large parties as their dining room is tiny. Like 10-15 tables tiny. Our party of seven luckily had to wait a few minutes but otherwise it was quick! Edit - I feel the need to disclose a few things. 1. The server recommended a smoked rack of lamb. Did not disclose the price normally I don't balk at prices but the cost of the lamb was $258.42 which is exorbitantly high. The server had a responsibility to disclose the price especially if it's that high. Just because we did not ask does not mean it's okay to just charge it. For reference 3 lamb chops was $80.00. The plate shown in my pictures most certainly did not contain 9 lamb chops. I would have been better off ordering 3 full entrees instead of the entire rack. 2. The restaurant never disclosed a "large party" fee. Sure its customary to have automatic gratuity applied to a party of "xyz or more" but to charge 20% for a large party ( 3 kids 4 adults) and then top off the 18% gratuity is absolutely poor taste. The fee was never disclosed, nor was it posted anywhere. These two reasons will more than likely prohibit me from returning. I wish them well in their future endeavors but to pull these types of business practices you will certainly run into future issues.

    To start we walked in and were abruptly sat down and told we don't even "need a menu"; From the…read morebeginning, instead of giving us the menu he insisted on choosing the most expensive thing on the menu and was hesitant to even give us the one. As we waited on our food he came over to our table for a good 15 minutes talking about going into e-commerce and baiting us to try whatever financial commerce stuff he does. The entire time he completely ignored the ladies at our table and only acknowledged the men sitting there. Later he brought out the plate because we ended up getting the chiefs platter (most expensive item on menu) and it was SMALL all of the sides were EXTREMELY small and we couldn't even substitute certain meats we wanted in our meal. He came back later to talk again and took out his vape to smoke in front of us. Once our $400 bill was brought to us (he didn't even tell us about INCLUDED gratitude in check) he was hesitant to even give back our change from our payment. Lastly, when we asked to use the bathroom we had to go THROUGH THE KITCHEN to use the bathroom in the back. The food was decent but the hospitality was terrible and unprofessional. Way too overpriced and embarrassing even. Our servers name was Josh btw.
