    Highly recommended and met its billing. This joint was packed on a busy Friday night but each of the staff were hustling to complete orders and get the plates served hot. I had one of the best burgers (The Maxon) I've ever tasted and it was so worth the long wait. We will absolutely return to this wonderful pub-restaurant.

    Eight of us got together for a Sunday evening supper at 5:00. Our opinion: The food was very good, actually much better than Druthers and Ravenswood. The pretzels app was great. We also shared the brisket soft tacos--three of them--filled generously. The French Dip was the choice of two of us. The steak was tender, and the au jus was flavorful. The sides we selected were mashed potatoes which were delicious! We also ordered sides of the horseradish dip which was outstanding! The salad side was large and full of the usual veggies. Nice! Several Burgers of various types were enjoyed very much. The Chips were 5 stars! They were a little thicker than elsewhere and fried perfectly. Worthy of taking home the extras. Only negative (for second time here) was the Mac and Cheese. Even though it is creamy, it lacks much needed cheese flavor. It was the only food item we ordered that was disappointing. Even though the place was almost full, service was great! Efficient and organized. A 25% tip was well deserved! Handicapped parking in the back was ample, and a ramp with a strong railing lead to the entrance. Happy we came here rather than Druthers or Ravenswood, both of which we are familiar with.

    This is our go to place when we don't feel like cooking. Friendly staff, quick service, and everything is made fresh. They have a beautiful patio for outdoor dining too. I love their hand cut fries. Their BLT dip appetizer never disappoints. Their chicken sandwiches are freshly breaded and well seasoned and the gravy they put on the gravy fries (poutine) is so good. And recently on a Tuesday, margaritas were on special. I chose the watermelon one and it was a thing of beauty! Refreshing and delicious.

    Excellent service very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and everything that was on it. We were seated promptly when we got here the atmosphere was excellent. The food is fantastic. It is definitely someplace where I would recommend to come and try if you're looking for some delicious cuisine. It is a little bit bit loud, but it is a bar restaurant so that is the only drawback to it. It's a little hard to have a normal conversation inside, but I've been in places that were a lot louder than this. Overall, not a bad place at all.

    What's not yo love about Maxon's, it's beautifully decorated, comfortable seating, amazing staff and delicious food!! You can't go wrong with any on the menu, the Oh Donna Burger and the Breakfast Tots with homemade Sausage Gravy (just ask yo replace the chipotle sauce with the gravy) are my go too's. Oh and the eings with homemade blue cheese are always perfectly cooked. I saved the best for last, the bartenders (Especially Jen) are always happy to help with drink suggestions and up for a friendly conversation. This place is just incredible.

Have been wanting to come…read moreto Seneca for a while now and so we made a reservation for an after graduation celebration which is super easy to do on their website. Upon walking in the host and servers were super nice and we were seated promptly. The space itself is super nice! Not crowded at all but definitely means you should make a reservation as they are super popular! Food was amazing! DO NOT MISS THE ROLLS! I'd come back just for the rolls, they were so soft, fluffy, and light with the perfect flaky salt on top to balance with the whipped honey butter. Delicious! Everything else was also great, the hanger steak is also tender and loved the hash that came with it and the crab spaghetti had ample crab meat in it. Presentation was gorgeous. Love the seasonal menus and you really can't go wrong with anything here. We skipped out on dessert but I'm sure there's great options too. Highly recommend and hope to be back!

What we ordered: -Berry cosmo 5/5, sweet but strong. -House made Parker house rolls: 5/5, these are a MUST. They are so light and airy and they come with a nice spread of whipped butter -Coal fired beets: 5/5, these pistachio butter was so creative and it comes with a big ball of burrata -Lamb lollipops: 5/5, very tender/easy to eat, only comes with 3 -Crab spaghetti: 3.9/5, overall good but it was more like crab cake than actual pieces of crab -Salmon (guest rating): 5/5, large piece of salmon with unique flavors intertwined -Wagyu burger (guest rating): 5/5, great flavor and the tomato jam that comes with the fries is sweet and great but I wish the fries alone were more exciting, very boring unseasoned potatoes -Hanger steak (guest rating + me taste testing): 4/5, cooked very well and I love the presentation with the potato cubes but the marinate is kind of boring

The food absolutely delivered. The chicken wings had that perfect crunch in every bite, and everything we ordered was on point, the pasta lovers (chicken and shrimp over penne), the chicken stack with eggplant, and the wings were all excellent. What stood out just as much was the service. Even though the place was packed, it still felt cozy, and the staff never missed a beat. Drinks were never empty, and you could tell the team is well-trained and dialed in. The owner was right there in the mix, delivering food, making drinks, and greeting customers. That kind of presence says a lot about a place. Nice touch on the way out too, being thanked for coming. It's simple, but it sticks. Definitely a spot worth going back to! PS don't skip dessert!

Luckily they were open so I could grab a bite. It's located in the historic town of Charlton and the place is quaint with a welcoming cozy feel. This would be a nice gathering place in colder months, as the stone fireplace is a major attraction as you walk in. For my snack, I had the classic calamari, the tavern poutine along with a grilled vegetable salad to share. I figured I would balance out my cheat day with some vegetables haha. It all came together quickly, and the wait wasn't bad. The portion size here is very shareable. My favorite by far was the tavern poutine as the breaded cheese curds and house made gravy with bacon really hits the spot. The calamari was a little on the chewy side and not as tender as I'd hoped. I would definitely pass on it. The grilled salad was presented nicely but had a ton of creamy balsamic on it. I would make a mental note to ask for dressing on the side. I personally am not a fan of overly dressed greens as I prefer them crisp. It wasn't bad, but not something I'd order again. Overall, my experience here was nice and I look forward to stopping in again.
