What a great birthday dinner with family and friends. There were 9 of us, so we got lucky to have the private back room to ourselves. Maxine and her husband stopped in several times to chat and even led a toast for my birthday. The entire staff at Maxine's is above and beyond great regarding their customer service. We were here during the Bite 30 promotion and unlike some other participating restaurants who are rather stingy with their selection, Maxine's options for each course were generous and varied. We especially liked the brisket meat patty, the pork tenderloin and the pineapple coconut cake, but everyone's food was excellent across the board.

This place is awesome. Much better than all the touristy places on International drive. We drove 1 1/2 hours to get here and it was well worth it. We loved the alternative vibe of the staff and the location. The service and food are both excellent. We didn’t get to meet Maxine this time, but “Mr. Maxine” did take the time to come out and greet us, he seemed very authentic person that really loved what him and his wife are doing here. He had planned to take a photo with him out front and we left before that could happen, BUT once he noticed we had gone he walked a block away to find us getting into our car to make sure we got a photo with him and to thank us. It was an awesome experience. My wife and I have eaten at well over 400 places in the last few years and do not come back to the same place very often, this is a location that we plan to come back to :) these guys are doing so many things right that you have to love it. For a really good experience I would plan to spend somewhere in the 30-50 per person for brunch. EDIT - we had the opportunity to goto a Vaudeville dinner show at Maxine’s and it was very fun. We look forward to more shows!

A small footprint, but the delivery is HUGE! My wife gifted me Sunday Brunch here for my 52nd birthday. The customer service here is exceptional. Every interaction with the staff was so pleasant. The last time we experienced THIS level of customer service was at the Sandals resorts. The plates were beautiful. The portions were generous. The flavors were Michelin Star caliber. We're not exaggerating. Thank you for making my birthday so special. This is a memory we will never forget.

A wonderful, unique neighborhood delicacy. Michelin Recommended and Best of Orlando!

Amy, the main hostess, makes an immediate impression, setting the mood to make you feel that you are family over for dinner. Shout-out to Amaya and Julie for taking care of us for dinner and brunch! It was a pleasure to chat with you both Huge thanks to Kirt, Maxine's husband, for stopping by to chat with us, for the referral for a real estate agent, and for the tour!

I was looking for a place with fried green tomatoes on their brunch menu and stumbled on Maxines on Shine in Orlando, which has a scratch kitchen. We were greeted by the fabulous hostess and seated quickly, then our waitress Bri came over. Bri was by far the sweetest human being. We chatted about traveling. She was super helpful with the menu. I started with the warnin' in the mornin' bloody mary with all the fixings, which was super tasty. I had the fried green tomato benedict with a side of pimento. Everything from the huge fried green tomato to the spinach was flavored oh so perfect, and the pimento was the topping on the cake! He had the Lobster omlette, which had large chunks throughout and a side of the tastiest sausage gravy I've ever had. We had the pleasure to meet the owner Kirt to give a kudos to the whole team. He then sent out Chef Tom to meet us, and we had a great conversation. All and all amazing brunch experience! Can't wait to return to Orlando and back to Maxines!

Everything about this restaurant, from the top tier service to the jazzy vibe to the excellent food, is a delight. The hostess, wait staff, and owner all showered us with care and genuine interest in our experience. We were given a tour to decide where we wanted to sit and recommendations for things to do in the area after dinner. We picked a few appetizers, cocktails, and entrees. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. We had a nice high table on the patio surrounded by potted plants and where there was a good view of the sunset. The owner took time to visit our table, make sure that service was attentive and food to our liking, and he thanked us for choosing to spend our evening with them. It was such a lovely gesture, and you could tell everyone there takes great pride in their restaurant. The food was honestly so good that I forgot to take photos before the dish was gone! The wagyu carpaccio was probably the best I’ve had, with perfectly sliced beef, toast, arugula, and red mustard dressing. The skillet lasagna was also incredible! Everything was reasonably priced, especially for the quality and portions. We’ll definitely be back.

Fun! The throwback decor was just the beginning. I arrived solo, which is usually not advisable because this place is jumpin' and reservations are the norm. But I got seated immediately! The service was fast, knowledgeable, and very attentive. Several people approached my table aside from the server, to ensure everything was great.....And it was!!!! Great atmosphere and absolutely delicious food! I will be back (with a reservation) for dinner!! Nothing was off! Food, service, atmosphere, and pride of ownership all came forward to shine! (See what I did there!) Put this place on your list! Priced right as well.

We really enjoyed our evening at Maxine's. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and out. My wife was treated as a princess even her drink was served with a crown. The food was fabulous. We are going back as soon as we can.
