I took a friend to Maxwell's Tavern to celebrate his birthday. We went on a Wednesday night, and the place was crowded, which is a good sign. This is a cool tavern in downtown Waxhaw. They have a nice selection of craft beers on tap, and I had a Great Lake Oktoberfest. We both ordered the Maxwell's Tavern burger with fries, and it was so good. Maxwell's Tavern is a great place to have good beer and delicious food. I look forward to coming back soon.

Maxwell's Tavern has by far the best burgers around. Between the atmosphere, fantastic service, and heavenly food, it is in my top 3 restaurants of all time.

Do not pass this place up while in Waxhaw. 100% worth any wait time.

First time at Maxwells. Great experience! Chris, my waiter was outstanding! Going to a sit-down restaurant as a party of 1 isn't usually this nice. I was seated quickly at a high top table, not the bar, and I wasn't forgotten about which can often happen. Ice cold draft beer and amazingly big burgers. What more do you need? It was a bit noisy due to the lunch rush, but that is expected. Highly recommend! Any place that takes great care of parties of 1 is awesome in my book.

Great food. Hard to choose what to order since they have a varied and outstanding selection on their menu.
Our waitress, Nicole was perfect. She was very helpful and accommodating. . All the staff were friendly. Our meals came out in a short time.
4 1/2 out of 5 Stars across the board.
Every visit to Maxwell's has been a positive dining experience.

This place is awesome!
They don’t take reservations on the phone you have to be there in person to get in line for seating. Place is small so there’s usually at least a 20 minute wait.
They have very large portions of food, we usually skip on the appetizers. Food presentation is really good, and the place is clean.
Staff is fast and helpful, always make sure everything is perfect. We have been here many times and have not had a bad experience.

Mixed reviews. Some of the food was phenomenal: the fried pickles were the BEST we have ever had! The gyros were delicious and fresh-tasting. The steak was also large and juicy.
The PB and Bacon burger was just so-so and the flounder plate (pictured) was very underwhelming. Poorly seasoned and floppy.
We would return to try some of the different things on the menu, but wouldn't give it a 5 stars due to the food not being amazing across the board.

Always great food!! Very reasonable prices tremendous quantity of food and the quality is very high and fresh. My only complaint is that it’s deafening loud here!!! They need sound reducing ceiling or carpet to help as it’s really bad for the ears the volume level here due to the brick walls, hard floor and wooden ceiling. Would make a good recording/live music venue though!!!
Food is great. Staff is also warm and welcoming. Server Taylor was the best! ♥️🎶 *****
