    The food was excellent and we didn’t wait too long. The server was very helpful with food and drink choices and explaining portion sizes. Overall a very good experience.

    I've been coming to Maxwell's on and off since i was a teenager in the 1980s! As usual, this visit didn't disappoint...the food and service were excellent and the place always has a lively vibe. I popped in for a quick meal one my own today but will be returning with friends next month. Happy Christmas!

    Unfortunately I didn’t have the best meal. We was sit in the restaurant for about 20 minutes before we was asked what we wanted to drink or eat. I understand it was very busy so I didn’t complain l, but needs to be quicker. I then was recommended the ribs and told they fall off the bone but instead they was cooked, but not enough as they didn’t fall off the bone and was very tough. Also not enough sauce. Chips were okay. My starter of Mac n cheese balls were nice. My partner also had the burger and it was very average aswell. I feel bad giving this review but I feel the quality needs to be better during busy times like Xmas so you don’t ruin the reputation.

    Food and atmosphere were both good, but the service was very poor. Waited a while for our starter and waited even longer for our main course. The manager did take off the service charge and reduced our bill by £15. Shame really because it could have been a much better experience for us.
