Go there and get the chicken. It is perfectly seasoned perfectly fried. It was literally delicious. Also very good was the collard greens and the rice pilaf. Our servers name was Tim. He was awesome. Made great recommendations. I had the fried chicken meal. My cousin had the salmon it was cooked perfectly not overdone very flavorful delicious my other friend had the seafood pasta. The flavor was good but the sauce it's self was very very watery so they need to thicken up there roux a little bit more. And my final friend had the braise short rib, she said that the meat was flavorful, but it wasn't as Tinder as she liked over. All the meal was great the red velvet Oreos taste better than the brownie in my opinion, because the brownie with a little bit dry, but I would return back to this place of business. read more

Well well well, what can I say....went to Max's and they delivered!! I'm not from the south and was on vacation. I knew I wanted some southern comfort food and Max's Wine Dive was suggested. It was my first time at this restaurant and I'm so happy I went. Pulling up it was a smaller parking lot....pretty much a strip mall but we were able to find parking easily. I was instantly greeted by Kierra and sat at my table with people that were waiting on me. It was happy hour and hunny I love me a happy hour. I Instantly ordered a class of Rose to get my Friday started. I was in the mood for some good ole fried chicken and ordered The Famous Fried Chicken. Baaaaybeeee, it was a hit!! Totally hit the spot! The chicken was so crunchy and the flavor hit my taste buds like no other. I also tried some fried devil eggs. I have never in my life had fried deviled eggs and I can tell you they changed my life...you hear me! The food was so fresh and also came out pretty fast. Cameron and Kierra assisted us and they were super sweet! They didn't miss a beat! Checked on us often and made sure we had what we needed at every moment. My cousin ended up joining us later and they made sure to accommodate us and seat her at our table. Those two ladies made my first time at this restaurant a good time. I honestly can't wait to come back. There were so many other things on the menu I wanted to try. read more

I haven't been to this location in years. Unlike the Montrose location, there is plenty of parking. The yummy food... every time I have came to Max's in the past, I never got the shrimp and grits. I have no reason why. What I do know is that I have been missing out for YEARSSS. In MY opinion, them Grits are THE bomb. Very flavorful. My friend ordered a side order of French toast. These were good too. The only downfall is delay/forgetting our initial drink order. Whenever our frozen drinks came out, the full presentation wasn't delivered, but the drinks were still good. I've always had an enjoyable experience at Max's. read more

Well... Most if not all tables were "reserved" and empty. We were told to sit at the bar which was littered with 20 drinks when we sat down. We sat for 25 minutes without even being acknowledged by anyone until we left and went elsewhere. I checked Opentable and I could have booked a reservation just to move to a table and get served... but come on.. Why would I stay? I am never wasting my time here again, but if you want to take a gamble... Make sure you get a "reserved " table on Opentable, they're always available for a reason. read more

This was my first time dining here in many many years! The experience went well. The chicken was sooo delicious! The greens were amazing too! The only thing I had a problem with is, a side of Mac n cheese was $10 dollars and the container was only 1/2 way filled. I definitely wasn't feeling that and if I would've noticed it before I left with my to go, I would've asked them to put more in the container or asked for a refund. Other than that, everything was pretty good! read more

Max's has such a good vibe inside. It's really intimate and has nice music. That being said, they are supposed to be known for their chicken but my parents and I all thought it was subpar. The menu says it's supposed to be fried with jalapeños and other flavors. I'm not sure if it's only the tenders, but the regular chicken is not very flavorful. But the thing that really let me down was the French toast. It's 2 pieces of bread cut diagonally. Not even Texas toast but the regular small loaf of bread. I was so disappointed when the waitress brought it. The only part I thought was good was the waffle my mom ordered, everything else was subpar. Also the mimosas are $5, but they're the tiniest mimosas I've ever seen. read more

we went to Max's for a birthday get together, told the server Christina it would be separate checks, she even knew who was on which check, somehow she decided the birthday person didn't need to pay her own check even though she ordered her own food, drinks and appetizers, Christina presented the birthday person with a drink flight and a piece of cake. As the bills are passed out she says she divided the birthday person bill on everyones check so the birthday person didn't get a check but everyone elses bill was more them they anticipated paying. I have never heard of such a thing didn't want to cause a scene so we all paid. but thats really poor judgement. there were mixed generations, different financial guidelines, different relationships. The food and atmosphere were ok. but doing that. thats crazy. So if you go be prepared to pay for your guest. read more

This is a Happy Hour review, so expectations were not the same as if it were for dinner. We were the only group there, and lots of staff seemed to be setting up for dinner. It took a bit of coaxing for service, but it finally happened, with good wine, and some of the special apps for Happy Hour. Food was good, however the music was way too loud for the space. Next time, I'll try to get the staff to turn it down! read more

Unfortunately I have to update my review due to food poisoning. I truly had a great time here and thought the food was delicious. However the food was extremely greasy and salty which was prob the reason. From the start, we knew the truffle fries had too much truffle oil but I ignored it. Such a shame because it was actually a good restaurant. I do not recommend for those who cannot tolerate greasy, salty, fatty foods. Pains me to write such a bad review but I ended up In the ER 7 hours later so I feel like I had no choice but to report food poisoning from eating here. read more

What really surprised me were the appetizers. They had fried deviled eggs! I love deviled eggs in general but the fried part adds a unique texture to the dish. I didn't love the smashed potatoes but either way extremely affordable HH prices. I'll be coming back read more

It's Easter Sunday funday and I reserve my table cause I wanted some fried lobster! I'm so glad I'm reserved!!!!! This location is booked up and people are continuing to walk in to get a table. We stared off with water and a pomegranate mimosa.. (good & strong) my food order was the chicken fried lobster, greens and smothered potatoes. I assume my food would take a minute before being ready so we ordered the fried deviled eggs. But that wasn't the case, food came out right behind my drink. Lobster was overly battered but I like it, potatoes were perfect for me and the collard greens were a little to salty for my liking. Fried deviled eggs were actually better than I thought. Weather was perfect so we asked to move our party to a outside seating and it was accommodated easy. read more

My wife loved her cob salad, with their fried chicken strip. My daughter loved her creamy mac and cheese with no add-ons. I had their famous 3 piece buttermilk fried chicken pieces with collard greens, toast, potatoes with "funky" tasting honey. It's fine, but not at $25. Overpriced. Service was weak, the water refill had to be requested, plus our waitress never checked on us and we had to use the water person to get a to go box and request the check. My wife loved the weird honey and collard greens. So the place was a hit with daughter and wife, while I just thought it was ok. We found the interior surprisingly easy to talk , despite its small size and the background music very nice. Place has a nice vibe and I am sure wine lovers adore it. read more

Came here for a Sunday brunch. We made a reservation the same day but were still able to get a booth. They are enforcing social distancing, which I loved to see. All the workers were wearing masks, and you have to wear a mask to enter. I've heard a lot of great things about this restaurant, and I think that overall it lived up to the hype. Service was pretty good and fast. I love me some shrimp and grits, so I had to see what their take on that classic dish was like. Overall I enjoyed it. I wasn't really feeling the poached egg on top, but it didn't spoil it for me. Instead of ordering individual mimosas as, we got a couple bottles of Prosecco ($30 each) and tried all the different juices they had available (orange, pineapple, and grapefruit). I didn't like the fact that our booth was right next to the restroom. Like RIGHT next to it. So we had to endure people walking past us and into the bathroom the entire time we were there. Also they were missing a couple mimosa flavors we wanted to try. Overall though, it was a good experience, and I'd come again. read more

This is my second go round here. I have not been here in years. This was the Washington location with decent parking. Our waitress was on point. She continued to check on us. The food presentation was good. I just needed a little more seasoning. That is my personal opinion. The greens tasted like granny was in the kitchen with a little sweetness. I got a side to go! The Birria burrito was pretty good as well. Overall it was a good visit. read more

Great date spot! I came here on a Thursday night with a…read morefriend and we ordered wine and hotdogs. What blew me away about this place was the ambiance. The place was dimly lit and there was a lot of seating, both indoor and outdoor. A lot of the seating inside was arranged as couches with low tables, which made for a very casual and relaxing vibe, while the overall atmosphere remained very classy. - Padre's Hotdog (4.5/5): I was told by my friend that this was the best hotdog ever so I had very high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. The bread was very buttery and nicely toasted. The frank itself was very juicy and I loved how the pico and mustard help cut through the fat. The thing that made this hotdog stand out was the cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was delicious and I could probably have just eaten that alone. One thing though, the hotdogs were a bit on the smaller size, you probably would have to order something else or a second hotdog if you were hungry. Would come back again just for this hotdog! Parking/Service: There was a small lot on the side of the building, but other than that you might have to street park in the neighborhood right next to it. The ordering system was a bit of a surprise for me. You have to walk in to the bar and order there.

When my friend made the reservation, she received an email encouraging customers to visit the tasting room before or after dinner. We showed up an hour early to visit the tasting room, however the host had no idea what we were talking about. Turns out they weren't doing tastings. Luckily, we didn't have to wait to be seated. We initially had a table that was not near a heat lamp, however an employee came over and let us know that we could switch to a table near the heat lamp which was appreciated because it was chilly. Our server was Laura. She was nice and funny. They had $25 flight specials. I went with the Sayanara Flight which had white wines. I really enjoyed them and they weren't too sweet. My friend had an NA wine which she enjoyed. We ordered the Truffle Fries and Meatballs. Both dishes were tasty. I enjoyed the aioli that came with the fries. They had discounted wines for purchase. Not all bottles were 50% off, however the gentleman that we spoke to went ahead and gave me a 50% discount on both the rosé and pinot grigio that I purchased which was so appreciated! It seems like there are quite a few businesses around town that are closing. I'm sad to see Mutiny go, but I'm glad my friend and I got to dine in on their final night.

I often pass by it going through a shortcut to I-45 and sometimes going home around the area. It's literally a 5-minute drive. I booked reservations Friday since I saw they opened up the 31st on Resy. It wasn't earlier in the week, but I knew it was the last day, and my friend and I really wanted to try. I'm glad we made reservations because they were at capacity (150 person capacity) and weren't taking any walk ins. We got there early cause Resy suggested checking out the Tasting Room before or after the reservation time. We got there about an hour earlier, and the host said he didn't know anything about that except that the Tasting Room area was used for events. Interesting. We were seated earlier on the patio on this freezing evening. At first, we were at a table that didn't have a heat lamp, but when one freed up, they were so nice to suggest that we move closer to the heat lamp since they saw us shivering. Lol. We were thankful for that. I wore fleece lined jeans and brought gloves and a beanie anyway having been in the below freezing winter in London. Laura was our server and was kind and funny. So was this other guy who checked in every now and then. He made light of their last day situation. The dining area is so beautiful inside. I love the limestone-looking interior and chandeliers. Reminds me of Fredericksburg or something. They had many large groups and a few small groups of friends or couples dining on this last day. Way to go out with a bang. A lot of the wines were selling out or already sold out around 7-8 pm. We tried the truffle fries and Sicilian meatballs with focaccia bread. I like the thick cut of the fries and the black garlic aioli. It reminded me of yuca fries. The Sicilian meatballs were a bit small, peppery and salty. I wish the marinara was a little more tart. The focaccia helped cut through the saltiness. I had 2 glasses of the NA Sauvignon blanc which was light and a little tart. They ran out of the NA red blend. My friend ordered Sayonara, one of their farewell flights which were aptly named for "goodbye". It was a great night on the patio but chilly. My friend purchased a rosé and a Pinot Grigio as part of their Last Sail wines. Actually, the Pinot Grigio wasn't part of the sale, and he was going to take off 20%, but he also made it 50% off. So nice!! I'm glad we got to try them on their last day. Bon voyage, Mutiny.

Our friend booked a reservation and was able to add a fourth person without any issues. It's on Westheimer where all the restaurants and shops are, so it's pretty busy. You can either park on the street or in the neighborhood behind. There's bar, small table and booth seating available. One of our friends who arrived early got to switch us to a booth since we'd have a few plates to share for the four of us. My friend and I shared the NA red sangria. I liked that there was a NA option for that, and you can choose either red or white. We ordered a pitcher since we were sharing. It was delicious and refreshing. I think I had about 3 wine glasses of it. Our group shared the red fish à la plancha, patatas bravas, spinach frittata, olive oil pancakes and bacon-wrapped dates. Some of the dishes were bigger than others. Tapas is meant to be small plates, and they were, but it's a little overpriced. For example, the red fish was $15.50 for maybe 2 oz of fish. The stack of olive oil pancakes were small and thin for $8.50. If you're sharing, it's not that much food. I was going to order another personal stack of olive oil pancakes because that cinnamon butter was so good! I decided not to after I let all of what we ordered and drank settle for a bit after. The valdeon whipped blue cheese under the bacon-wrapped dates didn't taste very good and seemed grainy to me. It was my least favorite. The standouts for me were the olive oil pancakes, spinach frittata that was actually loaded with more veggies and bell peppers and the patatas bravas which was piled with potatoes topped with mayo that melted down and looked almost like melted cheese on top. It's a fun place for friends to gather or a cute date spot. You may or may not be hungry after depending what you order. There are larger plates/entrees like paella and branzino to share.

The vibes of WA were totally on. The outdoor area is shared space with the beer bar across the way, and they really created a nice space with multiple seating types and televisions. Inside the actual Annex there was standard bar seating as well as a few long tables. I really liked the decor - the bottles of liquor along the back of the bar created a nice focal point, and the low lighting combined with wood tones really set the tone. They have a vast selection of cocktails separated by flavors (smoky, sweet, tropical, etc.). We ultimately had three rounds and all of the drinks were quite good. The bartenders were great, they whipped the drinks up quickly and were friendly. Overall I had a great time at Worcester's Annex - definitely a place I would return to next time I'm in Houston.

Parking: Tons of parking here surprisingly, both a paved lot and a pebble lot. We had a reservation for 3 at 7PM and were promptly seated at a booth after a small line of people. Order-to-Appetizer: 15 Minutes Order-to-Entrees: 30 MInutes For three people, we ordered: Dairymaid's Cheese Board (4/5): Comes with four cheeses, five small pieces of sourdough, honey-spritzed grapes, green Granny Smith apples, and fava beans. I wish they gave us more bread with the cheeses and preserves. The four cheeses provided were slices of a five-year aged Cheddar, Oveja Anejo, Tomarashi, and Gruyere. I enjoyed the Tomarashi the most. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but very sharable and a great starter. Shady Acres Pizza with prosciutto (3.5/5): I really don't like getting thin crust pizza that isn't crispy, and unfortunately this was a soggy thin crust pizza. The toppings themselves were very flavorful, and the end parts were crispy enough. 5 Cheese Calzone with chicken (3.5/5): Whew, five cheeses makes for a salty calzone. The side marinara sauce provides a good balance. It's very filling. Chicken might have been a good addition because prosciutto might have made it too salty. It was larger than expected which was nice for sharability. Service was kind of iffy. They were pretty rude with not providing us utensils and seeming almost angry that we asked for some for the cheese board. They mixed up our order (we asked for chicken on the pizza and prosciutto on the calzone and they flipped it) and seemed almost apologetically serving us afterwards. Overall, would recommend as a relaxed date spot at a reasonable price. I paid via inKind and applied referral credit with no issues. Would come back with inKind credit, probably not at full price.

The vibe inside is super cute with mood lighting and plenty of intimate seating spaced throughout. Parking in said shopping center is sparse. I'm not sure if parking is allowed at the neighboring businesses after hours, but I wanted to play it safe and ended up waiting about 15 minutes for someone to vacate their space. Our group had a couple of tables reserved and they had no problem having everyone pay on separate tabs. Service is offered both at the table and bar. Our waiter was attentive and had great recommendations for wine. When I was conflicted between two whites, he graciously brought me out both to taste and decide. I went with the Cacciabruco Malvasia/Trebbiano, which is a skin-contact white wine, so it had more of a reddish hue to it and almost looked like a rose in the dim lighting of the restaurant. I really liked this, as it was on the drier side and satisfied my palate more than the Gewürztraminer that I had also sampled. I didn't try the food but others in our party really liked the flatbreads they ordered. I do want to try these out next time because I know they will pair great with the wine! I'm glad I finally discovered this place! I'll definitely be back for happy hour and even a date night. With so many good places popping up in in Spring Branch, I'm sure this will become a regular spot for drinks before dinner

There are books abound, along the walls, in the bathroom, everywhere. I had a glass of Experience, a Californian Cabernet Sauvignon. It was a good pour, not too little or too much and the taste was deep, well balanced and smooth. Since the event took place around dinner time I also had a Fig and Speck flatbread. The fig, prosciutto and other toppings complimented each other well. The flatbread dough itself was ok but could've benefited from a little more flavor such as some garlic, butter and herbs. I also would've liked it a bit thinner so I could taste less of the bread and more of those delicious toppings. Don't get me wrong it was good and I ate all of it but these are small suggestions I'd recommend to bring it to perfection. I could see parking and seating being tricky. I was fortunate to snag a parking spot on the side of the building near the auto place and once inside I found a seat at a table with a lovely couple, another couple joined us soon after. Many of the guests who arrived later stood at first and then halfway through the event, made their way to the floor where they sat cross legged. All in all, The Library was a nice establishment and although a little out of my way, I'd return for another event or if I were in the area again.
