    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.

    We ate here after a visit to the theatre. 6 of us, it was very busy, we had to wait 5 to 10 mins for our table , that was pre booked. So we moved away from the door as it was cold and congested and sat near the bar and ordered drinks. The table was ready before we got all the drinks, although I don't think it was our original destination table wise, and as it was it was straight opposite the door, which was kept open most of the time we were eating, which made it a little cold and uncomfortable. Could of asked to be moved I suppose but it was so busy, it seemed a hassle. Food was great though and it's a nice place for an American diner, would definitely visit again.

    We’ve visited Maxwells a number of times now and have never had any complaints, the food and service have always been great, the guy who served us on our latest visit was attentive, polite and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was extremely busy, so busy we couldn’t wait in the restaurant bar area when we arrived a little early for our booking, but despite how busy it was, the service and food were still great.
