Great food! Great atmosphere! The waitstaff and everyone at Maxie's are very friendly and do their best to make your visit enjoyable.
Brought my family in after too many years of not stopping. Great Prime Rib, my son loved the fried chicken, great food all around, including the onion rings. You were very busy but the staff worked hard to take care of everyone! Spotless, great atmosphere! Keep doing it right!
I was on my lunch break and looking for something new. So we decided to stop here. I only get an hour to eat, but the food was quick and so delish! My meal was also cheap for all the food I get. It has a nice eating environment AND GREAT MUSIC AS WELL. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting this part of Des Moines.
I have been going to Maxie's for many years now. This place has a great atmosphere and the food is always superb. Be sure to try some of their famous onion rings or the maxieburger!
Best steak house and restaurant around!.Flaky light onion rings, terrific BBQ Ribs, and have you tried their rabbit burger? Wow!
Great food,service,and atmosphere. If you haven't already try Maxie's.
It was nice to reconnect with Maxie's after over 20 years and to finally try one of their Maxieburgers. But their onion rings were especially delicious. Maxie's has been a local favorite for 50 years and it continues to offer good food at a fair price with great service. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but you'll be happy with your meal if you head to Maxie's.
Great Restaurant with even better food. If you are in Des Moines and looking for a great American/Italian style restaurant then look no further than Maxie's. From the quaint bar area to the dining area, to low lights and ambiance definitely puts you in the mood. They have a great selection of steaks, seafood, and sandwiches. Where else do you get steak and lobster for $24.99. The onion rings are the best in Des Moines. So come on and try out Maxie's you will be sure to return to the neighborhood spot.
When we walked in I definitely got the “wow, this is old school” feeling. You could tell the crowd was people who had probably been going to Maxie’s for YEARS. It was cozy, comfortable, and featured a very diverse crowd which is always pleasing with my people watching addiction. For an added bonus the staff was super friendly and attentive which is always a plus. I had looked at the menu before we went so I wouldn’t be the jerk taking an hour to figure out what I want from a very diverse menu (they have burgers, lobster, and everything
Friendly wait staff, very tasty burgers, and quick service. Good for a family meal. Not the best atmosphere, but that doesn't take away from the good food.
Excellent customer service, Wonderful Food, Always a enjoyable experience. Love this Place
One of our favorites. There for birthday. Love the food and service was great. Can't wait til they get whole menu back
reasonably priced restaurant, Our waitress was awesome, I loved the Cavitelli there, the waitress said I wouldn't be disappointed. She was right
The last time I visited Maxie's they were still at the original location on Ingersoll. That must have been the early 1970s. Decided to try them out tonight. now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. We pretty much had the place to ourselves probably because of the weather.
Ordered the combination breaded veggies ; onion rings, breaded mushrooms, fried pickles & fried green beans. All were hot, crisp and perfectly seasoned.
Dinner was a Rarebit burger and the white cheddar bacon jam Burger. Both burgers were prepared exactly as ordered. all of that plus a couple of glasses of half priced house wine and expert service made for a surprisingly awesome evening. Maxie's will definitely be a place we will visit often from now on.
The bartender Kegeen is attentive and remembers my order everything. Mask is worn at all times. My new hang out during these times and maybe always!
