Let's start off by saying the greeter/host set a very happy and pleasant mood.
The food was good but a bit on the hefty side price wise. It's understandable though and if you support small local businesses, just pay it.
Drinks were good but same issue pricing wise.
Atmosphere was very eclectic with a strong sense of family.
Outside patio area is spacious.
Overall I would go back eventually.

We loved the atmosphere. We sat outside. It was our first visit. We had heard really good things about the place and couldn't wait to try it.
The food was just OK. My husband got the duck but was disappointed with the flavor and was served somewhat cold. I got the Chicken Maxines which was pretty good but missing the wow factor everyone had talked about. Overall we gave the restaurant four stars because of the service, drinks, and outdoor atmosphere. We drove 1 hour to the restaurant, so unfortunately based on our experience we probably won't go back.

This place is awesome. Much better than all the touristy places on International drive. We drove an 1 1/2 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 seem d 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 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 eat 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 I 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.

We went here for Sunday brunch in the private dining room. This place is a must to visit in Orlando. We loved the food, ambience and the staff. We even were told by the server that we can have our cake and eat it too, where they gave our party complimentary champagne with a liquor as we were celebrating a birthday 🎈🎂. We also love that is locally owned by a husband and wife team. Awesome restaurant and a must try.

What a wonderful surprise! We have lived in Orlando for 25 years and heard good things about Maxine’s but for some reason we never stopped by. We sure have been missing out! From the super friendly greeting with a lovely hostess to our lovely server, delicious drinks and superb food- we will absolutely be back!
