Great go-to deli for lunch! I am a frequent flyer here of their lunch menu & grabbing party food items. *TIP*: Pick up the crab and brie dip & be prepared for endless compliments at your next party. Your welcome. Lunch favorites: -Roast beef po' boy- this is the closest style I have eaten in BR that resembles many in NOLA. It's messy, its juicy, its delish! -Strawberry spinach salad with Steak (chunks of tender beef & grilled portabellas) OR blackened SHRIMP (My usual I could eat that every damn day) -For you chicken salad lovers- top 5 in Baton Rouge for sure -BLT & Rustic specialty sandwiches are divine & fresh! I will probably go thru the entire menu before I die or before the end of the month. Their freezer is filled with pre-made food for a quick and easy dinner. And they have some other grocery style items & seafood/meat market. **ADVICE: call ahead and order takeout. Slim parking & seating. Has a tendency to have long wait times during peak lunch hours.** read more

Maxwell's Market - Fried seafood stuffed mushroom balls with a side of ranch. Heavenly & so flavorful! - Grocery Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This was me & my husbands first time here! The chicken club & fries were very good. My husband got chicken tenders and he rated them a 6/10. I will be back! The service was great too read more

Excellent roast beef poboy. Ask For gravy on the sandwich and on the side. Service was great. Tables in the seating area usually have crumbs and debris on them. It would be nice if they were wiped down & kept clean, even if it's just a deli. read more

I had the tenders and they were very homemade and authentic ‼ I will definitely be back again for more!

1 order was great and the other was a little off. It could just have been the sauce on the Reuben, but definitely recommend the steak sandwich. It was awesome to shop around after and get some great cheeses, kabobs, and ready made meals for later that were all great! read more

I have been to this location of Maxwell's with my mother multiple times, but today will be our last time. I have the beef tenderloin ceaser poboy, which was disappointing. The beef was overcooked and flavorless, and the big pieces of mushroom that were in the gravey were a nasty surprise. Not much Caesar salad or dressing on my poboy either. My mother ordered a BLT that for some reason included pimento cheese. The side of fries she ordered was greasy and cold. The oil wasn't hot enough for frying, and the fries were not fresh and had a nasty undertaste--maybe the oil was old. $34 spent on inedible food. The food was never spectacular on previous visits, but at least it was edible. Did this place change management lately? read more

Maxwell's is actually a favorite spot of mine, but I sadly have to give them 2 stars after this last visit. The Ragin' Cajun pork poboy was a joke. It had about 1/4 the amount of meat and grilled onions on it than you would imagine. The bread to meat ratio was about a 1 to 10. Maybe they were low on pork? Or maybe it's a new chef? I don't know, but my friend and I both were very disappointed in these sandwiches this time. Maxwell's is normally a home run, but this time was a bust. Please redeem yourself Maxwell!! I still have hope.... read more

Deli is awesome and there is a lot of prepared dishes which makes it easier for a quick meal at home. There are a few tables so you can dine in but I would suggest to do lunch. No late evening meals here. They close up shop. Specialty foods are available and some wines also. read more

Maxwell's is always consistently good- it's less than a mile from my parents house and we order from them every time we visit. My favorite is their grilled chicken club sandwich on wheatberry bread. My daughter LOVES their Chicken tenders- but I think it's mostly as a way to eat a ton of their delicious honey mustard. :) I know they get super busy and parking can be tricky but it's a popular place.... read more

Great food and service, I love their salads and I will typically eat them for 2 meals! Wait time/lines can get busy around lunch but worth it for the quality of the food read more

I love this neighborhood market. Because I live so close, I'm here quite often. These are the things I love getting from there the most: (specialty) local goods, locally-made desserts, house-made pies, catering platters, burgers and sandwiches. Yes, things are marked up a bit more, but it's designed like a convenience store. One can easily get in and and get out. For catering platters, they usually need a couple days notice and their pricing is affordable. During the holidays, I purchased an apple caramel pie from there that was out-of-this-world. If you are in need of wine, they have plenty of stock! Again, don't go there expecting low prices. You will get good customer service and wonderful local products. If you love king cake, during Mardi Gras season, Caluda's king cake was available there (instead of driving to Harahan for your your fix). I've never had issues with parking, even during peak times and the checkout lines even move quickly. read more

Can't believe I've never been here but it will not be my last. I had no idea they had a fresh meat case, a deli and Po boys, fried and grilled seafood and sandwiches salads. Even wine and some staples like pasta and gourmet snacks. I bought Fruit salad, chicken salad, chicken salad with nuts & fruit and tuna salad. All tasted so good I especially like the chicken salad also got a loaf of wheat berry bread that was so delicious. Can't wait to go back. read more

The first time we ordered the Tenderloin Cesar Poboy. It was great, my wife and I split it and it was plenty enough for both of us. The second and third time we ordered the same sandwich. It was much smaller and certainly not enough for us to split. This last time, on my half of the Poboy, I had two small pieces of tenderloin, two large pieces of Portabella mushroom and almost no Cesar Salad. We thought I would give you another shot after the last disappointing sandwich. Gave you a second chance because we have been purchasing from your store since it was built. Not acceptable. Tried to send this note to the Maxwell website four times and it gave me an error each time. Our rating is based on our last two experiences. read more

I have had a few things from here so far. My favorite is the shrimp salad poboy and the meatball poboy. The meatballs are homemade and the shrimp salad is so good! It has a bit of a kick and it's super flavorful! Their brownies are also amazing, and they have great selections! read more

I was at Maxwell's on Monday, 6/20/22 and had a delicious sandwich. As I was checking out, the young person ringing me up was rude, extremely slow, eating Doritos, and touching my purchases with her nasty, cheesy fingers. Normally I would say something, but this time I was so shocked that I had no words. I'll probably call the store manager this week. She had dark hair with a couple of beads hanging on the left side of her head. I may never go back. read more

What did my poor hamburger do to them? I ordered it medium rare...what happened? Why do I keep doing this to myself and ordering burgers? I have to remember to post when I have a good experience...which I do...I swear! read more

Maxwell's Market - "medium rare" burger - Grocery Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Unforgettable and always a delight. The local spot for rubens, cubans, and fresh good lunch. They have a great grocery selection for international cuisine and spices. Try the Ruben, you won't regret it. read more

I walked into Maxwell's on Perkins just a few minutes ago and a wonderful young lady named Catelyn waited on me and went above and beyond to help me with my family's requests. She did in fact ask if there were anymore Twice Baked Potatos because all were gone from the shelf and they were prepping for tomorrow and had several made already. Can I tell you? Catelyn made my day. Her manager was also very friendly who helped me in their meat department. My mom and dad are not doing well healthwise and to be assisted and helped as I was this afternoon made me smile. Their customer service is top notch as well as their food. read more

Very blah experience. I stopped in for a late lunch and the place was pretty dead. Has a snobby feel to it. The employees just started at me except for the young girl behind the counter. She was nice enough to show my the lunch menu. The place really needs a broom run across the floor... A mop wouldn't hurt either. There's a good wine selection and a few groceries in the isles. They appear to have a good deli selection. There are fountain sodas as well as bottled. I ordered the maxwell Cuban to eat. Took quit a while to be made but it was worth the wait. Tasted very good. I have a three star and that was mostly on the appearance of the place and the lack of communication of the employees. But I would give the sandwich I ordered a four star for the taste. read more

When one of my coworkers heard that I had a meeting across the street from this Maxwell's her immediate request was that I bring her chocolate chip cookies. Seriously the cookies are laced with some sort of super addictive substance....you've been warned. I probably ate at this Maxwell's at least once a week from October 2005 until June 2006. It was good to see the quality is still there. I love their shrimp salad sandwich (on sourdough) and now they carry Elmer's CheeWees (one of my NOLA obsessions). The take out stuff is good too. I used their deli cases for many a quick meal while living in Baton Rouge. read more

Amazing/yummy food with decent serving sizes, just priced high for what you're getting. Service is good also, you may wait 10-15 min to get food at times. read more

Mixed feelings--we have tried the burger and fries a few times. The meat seems good quality and on a brioche bun. There is a special burger on chalkboard--today's was with a sensation salad in/on it. I would have been happier just getting a side sensation salad. The regular fully-dressed cheeseburger seemed better to me. The fries are very good. However, we bought an eggplant parm from the prepared foods section... it is $20 for a thin layer of eggplant over a lot of overcooked spaghetti in red sauce. There is hardly any cheese on top of the eggplant. What a robbery! One lb of spaghetti costs less than $2 in the store.... so we just feel really ripped off. Havent tasted it yet, but no way it will be worth it. read more

This place has really good sandwiches but does not seem to be run very well. I ordered two sandwiches and waited for thirty minutes then went back to the deli counter to ask about them and they told me that they were already at the cashier. The cashier told me that they were sorry but they must have slipped on that one and they would make my sandwiches really quick this time. Waited another twenty minutes and they gave me the wrong order but I didn't have any more time to wait. Don't go unless you have an hour or more to wait for deli sandwiches. read more

I love Maxwell's, and we often frequent many of the locations for after-school treats and meals to take home--so this poor review truly pains me--but this particular location has consistently delivered very burned or old cookies and baked goods lately, and even our bags of chips were expired on two occasions recently. I even returned a very black cookie the other day, and the girl couldn't find one that wasn't hard as a rock to give me. She apologized, but also didn't offer me a refund:( I am a big Maxwell's Market fan, but I am hoping this doesn't become the norm. Still really love the made-to-order food, but would love to see the quality of everything bumped up to par with what we have always known at the other locations. read more

Let me just say that I LOVE the Crab and Brie Dip, the stuffed chicken breasts and a few other things...and that's the only reason I am there once a week. However, those people that "work" the cash register are so rude and have 0 people skills or personalities. I mean, saying "Hi, how are you...did you find everything ok?" Is like an act of god damn congress. I always kill them with kindness, but it doesn't phase them....The owners and management need to send all of their teenie bopper, hung over high school kid workers to Customer Service Training 101. But - yall keep makin' those dips and stuffin' those chickens!!!! read more

The food is good and the deli selection is fine but you can read all about that in the other posts. Everyone has their own perspective as it relates to their tastes and lifestyle. From my perspective, what matters is RELIABILITY... which Maxwell's Market lacks entirely. When I go, I make orders for my bosses because it's what they like but when Maxwell's fails yet again, I'm the one who looks bad. What it comes down to is that I made a bad judgment call ordering Maxwell's and expecting that the order be correct and on time. It has never once been correct or on time. I'm completely disappointed because they have the potential to be better. If they were well-staffed and practiced better communication and customer service altogether, this review would have most certainly gone in a different direction. Unfortunately, I will not be giving them another chance to have me wait 30 additional minutes, rush to work, then rush back again to get the items they inherently forgot. If things change, good for them. Until then.. only go on a lazy Sunday when you've got all day and patience to spare. read more

If you crave something other than the standard 6in or foot long, Maxwell's has great speciality sandwiches that hit the spot. If you decide to come in for lunch, get here early. There isn't much seating, the parking is limited, and the wait for food can take up to 30 minutes - that's for a sandwich. The place is nice and trendy, so while you wait you can browse different types of wines, cuts of meats, imported cheese, along with other specialty goods. Overall the place is A-Ok in my book. It meets my needs during lunch, has speciality items for those rare occasions, and the staff is super friendly every time. read more

I tried Maxwell's for lunch today and it was really good. I got the BBQ roast beef sandwich which came with BBQ sauce and grilled onions. The roast beef was really thin sliced and piled on high. The bread was soft and the BBQ sauce was kind of think and sweet. I loved it. I ordered the cheese fries after the employee on the phone told me they were legit. He was right. Crispy fries with a blend of cheeses. They had really good ranch to dip it in. It was a BIG lunch and I was dragging afterwards, but either the poboy or the fries would've been enough for me lol. I'll be back to explore the menu for sure, and I'll have to fight the urge to get the same thing again. read more

Maxwell's Market - I got halfway through my BBQ roast beef poboy and thought, "damn, I need a picture of this". I strongly suggest it. - Grocery Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

We have eaten here 3 times in the past 2 weeks. We've ordered sandwiches, fries, fried pickles, and seafood stuffed mushrooms. Everything was delicious. I recommend the Cuban sandwich, if you are a fan of deli meat. The fries are also very good and you get a huge portion for a small price. This is my new go-to place for lunch! read more

I've been here twice and ordered their tenderloin caesar salad both times because I loved it so much. It comes with portabello mushroom bites. My colleagues ordered different burgers but weren't impressed. Even the fried avocado burger didn't amaze them. It takes a long time for them to bring-out your food, so if you're impatient, I'd recommend you order ahead. While you're waiting, you can peruse through the market and try other little tidbits they're selling. read more

Always love the quality of meat at Maxwell's. Their burgers are solid and their steak sandwich is quite good and filling! They also carry some delicious deserts from local businesses! read more

Maxwell's Market - Steak sandwich - legit NY strip steak. - Grocery Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Best chicken salad I've ever had! All of the food is really delicious and fresh. I love the little market feel on the inside too but I've never really bought any stuff in the market area other than the chicken salad. I mostly come here to eat a quick lunch. Parking is kind of cramped at this location. There is also very limited seating, but it is the sort of place where you just eat and then get out fast so it isn't too big of a deal. read more

One of the best places to go for a quick bite if you are looking for something on the healthier side to eat. Never have had a bad experience at this establishment. Even when the staff is slammed at lunch hour the employees work hard to make sure the customers are taken care of, and that the food they dole out is nothing but delicious. Keep up the good work! read more

Maxwell's Market - Chicken Noodle soup is amazing. Tastes like its homemade, and it's just what my sick self needed! - Grocery Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Maxwell's is a great lunch spot, wine spot and meat market. You can find some high quality items here for an impressive dinner at home or grab fresh, delicious prepared foods to go. I love supporting a local business so Maxwell's is high on my list...just wish it was a little closer to my house. read more

Why don't you EVER have Hummus??? And on the rare occasion you do, it's expired. You sell the pita chips. You sell the wine. Finish the job.

Stopped for quick lunch. It was super good. Best chicken salad ever. The Italian white bean soup was delicious! I will be back.

Love, Love their sandwiches. Best king cake I've ever had! Their croissants are always fresh and they are consistently delicious. Great place to sit outside and eat on a pretty day. read more

I traveled to Baton Rouge for a wedding and ordered a party platter for the bridal suite. The platter consisted of four salads: blackened chicken, shrimp, fruit, and marinated asparagus. It all arrived on one large compartmentalized platter. I needed to keep all of the food cold using the hotel's mini fridge, so I asked if they could individually pack each salad in a smaller container. They obliged and once served, each salad was a hit. The salads were fresh and flavorful, portions were large enough to feed 6-8 people, and the price was reasonable at $66. I will definitely return when I'm in town and need to feed a small group again. read more

This place has great steaks, but terrible customer service. I had to find someone to not only get me a steak, but to also to check out my items. Their lunch is okay - pricey for what you get. read more

Love Maxwell's! I pick up lunch here at least twice a week. They always have different specials and their cookies are to die for!
