We went here early in the afternoon on the day of the solar eclipse. We ordered 30 chicken wings and a large seasoned curly fry. The fries were cooked perfectly. We tried three different sauces. Hot, house, and honey barbecue. The hot were more on the medium side. The house sauce I definitely enjoyed and would recommend to anyone trying their chicken wings. The honey barbecue was also good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant if you're in the area.
Went for dinner on a Monday night which conveniently was .50 wing night. they are for a variety of flavors and preparations for the wings which were great and I tried the House sauce and medium. Both were good with the house sauce being the stand out for me. It sort of had a honey sweetness to it but I can’t pin down one of the other flavors there. I could of taken the wings a bit crispier, but if I were to return I'd just asked for that next time. Despite how busy it was and a special for the night, it didn’t take long for the wings to come out.Also had a beer which was cheap. My service experience was pretty standard. I ordered at the bar and my food was brought to my table. They did check in on me at the table and I just paid at the bar when I was done eating. Note this place is cash only.
A great place to eat. Food is awsome. I recommend the French Onion Sandwich or try the Pot Roast Burger! Its also a nice place to enjoy a cocktail. Full bar inside and rooms to rent.
When you drive by local restaurants on off-season weekdays and there are a lot of cars outside, you should check them out. That’s how we found Maxwell Station. And I’m so glad we did! We got the French onion soup, wings, the beef pot pie and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious and our server Brenda, who was working the whole place, which is not that small, was awesome! I don’t know how much she’s getting paid, but Brenda definitely deserves a raise.There was live music by McHenry and Baz, which was lovely and apparently lots of other things happen here, including a weekly Zumba class.
Had a great night having a fish fry and watching Evan Anstey and his band. Love his band.
Our waitress was extremely friendly. The food was great. My husband had a burger and I had Parmesan chicken wings. The wings are the best I have found in the area. The atmosphere is very unique.
My GF and I stumbled across this place while chasing the sunset Friday night and we loved everything about it. The prices were good, the food was hot, delicious and made fresh to order. The atmosphere was unique and we loved it! Somehow we keep finding unique places like this without even trying We will definitely be back!We had the burger, fries and chicken fingers. Oh- and got dessert to go, all homemade, coconut cream pie, blueberry pie with a perfect crumble on top and brownies. We highly recommend this place! Nom-nom-nom!
Awesome place! Cool bar/restaurant. They had live music while we were there, and it got packed. Food was ok, at least my order. I was told they have good burgers. So, I'll try that next time. The wings are really good, so I'm thinking it was just what I ordered. Going to come back for sure.
