Great food and great service. It is half off on burgers on Tuesday nights with the purchase of a beer. I go here often. As a vegan, there are veggie patties available and you can swap out any meat burger with a veggie burger. They have always been very accommodating. Also, the food is just so good. read more

Looking for a place to eat around 9pm on a Tuesday in Redding is a bit of a task. We thought about going to this other pizza joint but when we pulled up it was dead so I found this place and the reviews looked pretty good. This place is located right in the heart of the little downtown area Redding. It was located right off of the Main Street and front row street parking was easy to find so I was a fan from the moment we parked. The place was decorated with some really cool art and they seemed to have a pretty nice selection on tap. They even had black butte porter, my favorite! So apparently on Tuesdays they have a deal where if you buy any drink, even a coke, you get half off burger. The burgers were $10 and up. We decided to get a pizza since that was on our mind from earlier. The pizzas were a little steep in price but ended up to be pretty good. We ordered half chipotle chicken half garlic chicken. The chipotle one had a nice kick to it but wasn't too spicy. The garlic one was pretty good, not enough chicken but tasted good. I thought it was a little bland but my co worker loved it. Their red sauce made it all better. If you like dipping your pizza in sauce try their red sauce, it has a nice little spice to it. The music was good and the crowd seemed really hip, especially for little ole country town Redding. I'd definitely come back! read more

Maxwells Eatery - Maxwell Burger with Fried Mushrooms - Pizza Near Me - Redding, California

Synopsis: Okay but nothing to write home about. There are far more interesting place to dine in the downtown area. Full Review: The atmosphere at Maxwell's is that of a sports bar complete with blaring T.V.s and fellow patrons shouting to be heard over them. We went in for lunch so what I presume to be the dining room was closed off. Seating in the bar consists of tall tables with bar stools and one (thankfully unoccupied) booth. The menu offers some interesting options. I had the BBQ chicken sandwich with side salad and hubby went for the teriyaki pineapple burger with fries. Both were ok..but just ok. There was nothing special about it. Nothing that would make this a fight traffic, find the elusive parking space, endure deafening sports commentary because this is the best damn burger in town kind of place. If you are a die hard sports fan and enjoy using your outdoor voice inside, by all means stop in. Maxwell's is fully handicap accessible when the dining room is open. read more

Love it- One of the few watering holes in Redding that really has any pull for me. Been here a number of times and it will continue to at the top of my list. First off, it's a local joint that's got character. I hate strip mall type places that are all show and glow. This place has a fun spirit and is still lively. Good selection of brews and plenty of options for filling up on the food side. The staff is great and it's not over crowded. And they are open till 10. This crazy town still shuts down at 8, but not Maxwells! Here's to you Max read more

The place was dirty when we walked in and the bathrooms were unstocked but let's get to the real reason for the 1 star. We were Really never greeted, no biggie but when i finally find someone i ask if we can just take a seat anywhere, she states yes. We proceed to the back room full of tables and are told to not sit back there and pointed to a table in the middle of the room. i ask if we can just sit at the bar and she says no problem. We proceed to sit at the 2 barstools at the end of the bar where there was money left from the last customer along with their dirty glass. Again no big deal. On the bar is 3 flip books of drinks. We start looking through them to see what we may want. As of yet still no real acknowledgement of our arrival. All of a sudden the male bartender tells us to not be looking through those books. I let him know they were sitting on the bar counter and thought they were menus to then be told that where I was sitting was not even a seat and I shouldn't be there. Like what? So freaking rude. I am astonished at the customer service these days. Apparently those were secret drink menus that apparently he left where he shouldn't but instead admonishes us for it. Last and final time we will partake in their establishment. ​​​we chose to get up and take our business and money elsewhere. Sad because at one time their pizza was pretty good. Was ready to try again and see if it still was good. read more

Bartenders/ servers were very nice and answered all of our questions pertaining to us moving up there. No cocktails but the canned Moscow mule was awesome. Not many lagers but good ales on tap. Cool setting and looked like lots of regulars go there. Didn't get food but would go back again for sure!! read more

Maxwells Eatery - Pizza Near Me - Redding, California

Wish I could have tried the place. Sat down at the bar for about 10 minutes. There were three ladies behind the bar and it seemed like they were actively avoiding "noticing" my party. There were maybe half a dozen other customers that didn't seem to have the problem. read more

Always a great go to place to eat. They have a little of everything. Clean, chill, and family friendly. Foods always good. Burgers are the best! Wings are good too! read more

Pasta salad tasted like it had nail polish in it. Probably stayed in the fridge too long or something. It was nasty!! I will eat almost anything fresh and that was atrocious. We all got spicy things and never was offered additional refills even with empty cups sitting there. The wait staff cared about the bar ONLY. I wish on our trip to Redding for the first time in our lives we would have made any other choice. Fast food would have made me more happy at this point. At least then we would all be full! My 14 year old son is sitting eating Pringles. Stupid 4 star reviews lied to me!!!! read more

We are in the Redding area visiting family. We found Maxwell's on Yelp! and chose to eat here based on the 4 star rating. As soon as we walked thru the door we notice how clean and well organized the entire place is. We were greeted by the young lady behind the bar serving another customer almost immediately. We sat as instructed and she greeted us at our table shortly after. This young ladies customer skills are well over my expectations for a lone employee working all parts of the dining and bar area. She was friendly, patient, helpful and very polite. I ordered and wrap and some taster tots. Food was perfect. Taster tots nice and crunchy. Wrap was, well... wrapped. Not rolled and thrown on a plate to fall apart when picked up by the customer. It was so good! I really like this place and we plan to make it a point to stop in every time we are up visiting. Thank you Maxwell's for the great experience! read more

I enjoyed the vibes. I had a good veggie burger and the pesto fries are very unique! Would highly recommend. read more

My husband and I ate here while staying in Redding and it was the perfect mix of convenience and comfort food. The portions were hearty and the food was delicious. I had the BBQ chicken wrap and my husband had the crispy chicken wrap. Both were large and came with fries. I could only finish half and saved the rest for the next day. The sauces that came with the fries were great as well as the service read more

These folks rock! I rolled into Redding late on a slow Thursday in October, the kitchen was "closed", but they still managed a super tasty steak & mushroom pizza for this weary traveler. Nice, tight selection of craft on tap, and cool staff made for a perfect stop on the road to Portland. Come here, eat here, drink here: Maxwell's is a great spot in Redding! read more

Thank you Yelp for your positive reviews here! Best French Dip, Pesto / Parmesan fries!! AAA+++Good beer selection too. Nice atmosphere plenty of tv's to watch the World Series game. Would recommend Thank you, Maxwells read more

They have a huge selection of craft beers I ordered a rhubarb cider that was to die for Then I ordered their Rubin in the spirit of the Holliday... and it just may be the best Rubin to ever enter my mouth This place is first class! It's so nice to see what downtown Redding has transformed to Great job Redding I'm a fan! read more

Hopefully, this new downtown pizza and burger joint will be okay in the long run, but I was disappointed with the opening. I don't know why you'd go to the press and hype the opening of a new brewpub in downtown Redding, and then open with a bunch of kegs -- but no house-brewed beer to be seen, and no sign of any in the near future. That said, the selection of draft beers is pretty good. Not Alehouse Pub-good, but better than average. Our pizza was respectable, but didn't really send me. The burgers ordered by the folks at the end of the bar looked better, but I'll have to reserve judgment on them for another day. The menu is -- let's call it "focused." Pizza, burgers, salad, hot wings. Those are your choices. Also, it looks like it's going to take MDE some time to develop a personality. The old Downtown Eatery had plenty of personality when it opened -- it was like an arty urban hipster who eventually developed a substance abuse problem and then went all to hell almost overnight. Right now, MDE is the pizza place you'd take your Mom if you think Ultimate Pizza might be way too weird for her. MDE is kind of milquetoast, like my 11th grade chemistry teacher whose name I couldn't recall for you right now even if you offered me a handsome reward for coming up with it. read more

Sooo great! First off before I even talk about the food, the wait staff were sooo nice! Like, unbelievably nice. I would go there just to talk to them haha Ok now the food, I had the chicken Caesar salad as an appetizer, it was quite good not like suuuper special but still yum. Then I had the fried onion burger or smth, I forget the exact name but it was heavenly also very filling so Don't order too much. All in all, a great stop in Redding read more

Maxwells is the place to go if you're craving for chicken wings. I would highly recommend the lemon flavor chicken wings. The lemon flavor added such a great taste to the chicken. I love my food with a dash of sourness and this was the perfect kind of sour. The deep fried jalapeno was almost like chips, but with real jalapeno. The flavor was great and I loved the texture. It was crunchy, yet soft, and easy to eat. The interior looks amazing. I love the artsy vibe that this place gives me. The designs on the walls in the second room look fantastic. Reminds me of a tropical rainforest, but in blue. I would keep returning to this place! Thank you for always providing a positive experience. read more

Make no mistake about it - this is not a restaurant, it is a bar. Not that it's bad... but the yelp site makes it appear as if it is a hipster restaurant, and that is simply not the case. Perhaps locals have a different opinion of the differences, I come from a culinary mecca, so I am very clear. The burgers were acceptable, but s l o w coming. There was not a crowd at lunch time, but basic burgers took about 25 minutes, so that is not a good sign. The bar maid was also the server (Remember? It's a bar not a restaurant), so even getting sodas and eating utensils was a struggle. It was overpriced for bar food, bar service, and bar seating (standing table with bar stools pushed up) as well. On the bright side, food was hot and getting back on the freeway was a snap. read more

A group of us used to hit Maxwells up once a week after work. The waitresses were friendly and took good care of our table. Since they opened a Maxwells on the east side of town, the downtown Maxwells has done nothing but go downhill in terms of service. With the boss man Cameron gone a lot now, the place has been left to a group of cranky females who close early on a whim and treat customers like a nuisance. Sorry but the last few times we have been there the waitresses have been rude and have closed the kitchen as early as 0830. If your open until a certain time stay open until that time. We have started going elsewhere. It was good while it lasted. read more

Oh Maxwell's, how your burgers speak to me... I consider myself a burger connoisseur and Maxwell's ranks near the top on my "Best Burger in Redding" list. Try the pesto fries at least once! YUM! Good happy hour and daily specials. Nice selection of beers and ciders. On Tuesdays, all burgers are half-off if you get a beverage! Great deal! I hear they have great pizza but have yet to try it. It always looks tasty when it's being delivered to the next table over! read more

R.I.P., Downtown Eatery. You were amazing. When Maxwell's came in, I was slightly dubious that they could satisfy me the same way. And, well, they didn't. But they satisfy me in other ways, so we can still be friends. I have eaten a lot of menu items here, since it's a regular bar stop during the summer and sometimes we just want to eat something cheap-ish and greasy. The 1/2 price burger Tuesdays assists in this crucial mission. Burgers also includes chicken sandwiches and the veggie burger, so little ol' me can participate too. But I have to say, I ordered the veggie burger when they first opened and was not impressed. I found it bland and the texture was too chewy and mealy. They may have changed the recipe by now, but I am always too afraid to try again. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is tasty, and not too spicy on the way in, but if you have a sensitive stomach I would steer clear. Let's just say it had me running through the Promenade at breakneck speeds and leave it at that. The garlic fries are really good, and are always hot and oily, fried to perfection. I have heard mixed reviews about the pizza, but I think the Veggie Pizza is pretty damn amazing. Good dough, nicely spiced sauce, good veggies. The chicken pasta salad was ordered by my best friend once, and I ate some - pretty damn good. My only complaint is that the house side salad has some weird antipasto thing going on, and I dislike that very much. But the real shining star here is the warm beer brownie. Did you hear me? I said WARM BEER BROWNIE. A huge slab of warm gooey fudgy goodness made with beer, topped with 2 scoops of raspberry sherbet for an insanely low $5. It's HUGE, and decadent, and can be shared comfortably with 2 or 3 other people. DO IT. Seriously, you won't regret it. But don't call me when those jeans won't button. As for drinks, they have a great ever-rotating selection of interesting and unusual beers on tap, and a rice-based spirit called Soju that they make amazing drinks with. One of the bartenders made me an amazing concoction with it, the name escapes me now, but I want to say it was something sexually tinged. And aptly so, since my mouth got a little frisky upon first sip. Once the mirror behind the taps had a scribbled notice that they offered root beer floats, so of course we requested one with real beer instead of root beer. The friendly (often adorable) bartenders happily complied, and that was an experience I suggest you all try. Get something dark and a little sweet (Guinness or Raspberry Brown, if available) and reach a whole new happy high. And if you like live music, they have it often! Plentiful seating, walking distance to other great bars, good food, good drinks, and the game is always on if you are into that. All in all, a good downtown addition. read more

Want to waste/wait 45 minutes and never get your food? Drink flat soda? And have someone tell you it takes more than 20 minutes to make a waffle? Then go to Maxwells. This place was highly recommended and we were truly and utterly disappointed. Everyone working there looked and acted extremely annoyed - they hated their jobs. Not worth it. Don't be tempted by the peanut butter burger. read more

Really good food and friendly service. Definitely coming back. The beer battered mushrooms and chicken pesto is bomb :) ...

My wife and were stay in Redding on a 2 night stop over on our trip back home from Palm Springs. We went on a sight seeing walk around down town then spotted the sign in the window " Pizza wings & Craft Beer" . Well they had me at "Craft Beer". Well they had an excellent selection of beer local/regional, the staff an patrons had very good knowledge of the beer. The lady sitting down the bar from us gave input on a beer for my wife, and the bar tender had knowledge of all the IPAs on tap. Nice to go to bar where beer is appreciated. Sorry but we didn't try the food. read more

Maxwell's I love this place. The Maxwell Burger is the most exotic best tasting hamburger I ever ate. The Maxwell Burger has on it Cheddar cheese, Bacon, Fried Jalapeños, Peanut Butter and a big gigantic onion ring. I was a bit skeptical about eating a hamburger with peanut butter on it but after I did I was hooked. The fried jalapeño and peanut butter combo is my favorite part of the burger. Maxwell's is the bomb. read more

Went on a Tuesday night for burgers and drinks..... we picked the best place we could have possibly chosen! Amazing! Simply amazing! The server suggested the Maxwell burger and Pesto fries.... I asked how many people actually "liked" a burger with fried jalapeños and bacon, (and all the other standard "fixins").... but most of all, what scared me was the peanut butter that comes on it.... WHAT???? She told me to trust her... so I did.... it was gigantic and beautiful and tasted amazing! I will stop here and get that burger every time that I pass through Redding!!! read more

I went on a Wednesday night and it happened to be open mike night ! They were out of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and also out of Lost Coast Brewery Great White. I ended up getting a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale. We ordered a combination pizza. It was a good thing poeple had started going to the open mike and keeping the place entertained. The pizza took a while to come out. When it finally did, it was worth the wait. The pizza was much better than I expected. Overall, I enjoyed my visit here. I know I will be back again. read more
