Maxwell's American Pub

Popped in last night around 11:45 after landing in Minneapolis from the West Coast.Great vibe in this accurately described neighborhood bar. Super nice bartender! I ordered the local lager and ultimately we were persuaded to get some food, which never disappoints in this part of the country!I made the mistake of bringing up Grumpys to the bartender...apparently they are out of business...Great spot great people

Nice American pub- staple in mill city district Good service and cheap bar foodThey have HH daily so great for weekendsOpen late for food- recommend if in the area

Came here on a whim while we were walking around downtown Minneapolis. The service here is wonderful and shoutout to our waitress for being so awesome! It's a traditional style pub and walking in, we felt the chill and cool vibe and atmosphere. Plenty of seating around as well. We ordered the following:Soy garlic edamame: 8/10 - it was really good and salty from the soy! The edamame beans were steamed perfectly and provided that crisp pop when you bit into one. We would taste the garlic as well and it was very pleasant on the tongue.Mac and cheese: 8/10: I thought it would be the traditional noodles but it was penne style instead. It was rich, cheesy, creamy, and the pasta cooked al dente. It came with a toasted, buttered baguette slice. It was enough to feed two people and my coworker and I shared it. It was insanely good but I prefer the regular style mac and cheese noodles. To me, this was like a step above your average mac and cheese.Mexican corn dip - 9/10: do yourself a favor and get this as your appetizer! It tasted exactly like a warm elote! The flavors were outstanding and the added lime was the chef's kiss. it comes with fresh tortilla corn chips and when you first get a taste of the dip, you taste the richness of the Cotija cheese, and then follows the sweet corn and tangy lime juice and tajin. Then you end up with the slight spicy kick at the end. We all came to the consensus that this was our favorite item of the day! We finished every corn kernel. My other coworkers had a steak salad with blue cheese dressing and a slow roasted pull pork with tater tots. They both enjoyed their food as well. Prices were good for the portion size as well and our drinks were refilled and we were checked on regularly. Come try this place out! You won't be disappointment!

OVERALL: I can attest that Maxwell's is in fact, the best kept secret. Unassuming location next to a gas station. ATMOSPHERE: I was hesitant when my friend suggested a casual/"dive bar" location for drinks & dinner but maxwell's was clean and homey. Lots of seating available for the space. SERVICE: We sat at the bar and received excellent service. Bartender was always making sure we had drinks and that our food was good! He also recommended some of his favorite food options which helped us decide what to get. FOOD: I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and it hit the spot. I would say the sauce itself is more bbq than "Nashville hot" but it was still tasty! It had fried pickles on it as well which I liked. Also, they use chicken tenders as the chicken, as a heads up. Still delicious but maybe not what I expected. The waffle fries and seasoned sour cream is a must. The mac and cheese was delicious. They use penne pasta which I personally prefer over macaroni noodles. My friend ordered Cajun shrimp as the protein. DRINKS: You can order whatever drink you'd like, I always like a good dirty Shirley. PRICE: The rail drinks were $6. What a deal (and this is outside happy hour!) the food was $15 an entree.

Lives up to its name - a great spot to grab a drink and have some pub food! We stopped here for a bite after an appointment in the area. The service is stand-out here - servers were friendly and attentive during our meal! They've got a bunch of stuff on rotating tap, and some specialty cocktails. Check out their happy hour deals while you're there.We ordered WAY too much as usual - our eyes are always bigger than our stomachs! My partner and I split the wild rice soup - creamy, hearty, and flavorful. I ordered Buffalo wings - because a good pub knows their wings! - and ordered waffle fries as a "side". Spoiler alert: these waffle fries could have been two whole meals alone! So. Many. Fries. But they were delicious and crispy - served with addicting seasoned sour cream. The wings came out HOT and juicy with ranch and blue cheese on the side. Delicious! My partner got the burger and wasn't wowed but a decent patty with tons of tots.Great service and quality bar food in a cozy setting.

Recently went here for dinner and drinks with some friends and we all had a great time! Service was super friendly and speedy. We ordered a burger, Mac and cheese, Smokey mountain chicken sandwich, and Buffalo chicken wrap. I personally tried the Mac and cheese and chicken sandwich, and both were delicious & would definitely order them again. The sandwiches also come with a ton of super yummy waffle fries each, which we loved. Food was affordable (about $14 per meal) and drinks were super cheap compared to other places in the area (ours were between $4.50 and $6 each). Typical bar/pub vibe inside, perfect for a casual night out either for dinner, drinks, or both.

Me and my stopped in because we both were craving a burger and drink after a day at work... and I must say it was an excellent find.The inside of the pub was very relaxed and comfortable-plus the entire staff (both waite staff and bartenders) were all very friendly and inviting.We were both excited to see that the special that night was a $9 cheeseburger and fries both of which were really good and a very generous portion.The beer menu constantly changes, but they had an orange Creamsicle cider, which was very refreshing .If you are in the area weather visiting or stopping in for a game I recommend stopping in.

Thanks Maxwelll's.This is a perfect place to pick in Minneapolis to meet with friends before or after a gopher game or any event and these servers are really friendly. Not stuffy here.Bloody, beer, wings...all good, fresh and quick. Convenient place to Uber to and from also.

5/5 for Food, Bloody Marys, Atmosphere, Service We happened to stop in yesterday after a horrible try at Day Block down the block. Maxwells welcomed us with open arms and we had the best server: Olivia. The Bloody Marys were fantastic, full of flavor and the bar service was incredibly speedy. We ordered a few other drinks and my friend wanted to sample a few beers and that was no problem either! We ordered some snacks to share: the pretzel bites and dry and Buffalo wings. Super tasty, complete with ranch and blue cheese to dip. Food was hot, delicious and quick! What a relaxing place to meet up with friends before an event - I will definitely be back. Thank you Olivia!!

Best place to drink! Josh, Mary, Dylan, they all are great! I've been coming here for 2 years and plan to stay a customer for ever
