Maxwell's is alive and well!

by metrodiner

Just ask the kids and their parents who packed the place for the state high school football tournament this weekend!

How long does it take this site to acknowledge that this place burned down.

How long does it take this site to acknowledge that this place burned down. I mean, it was good, but it no longer exists.

Reopening Sept 1, 2008

by lotsafatsa

Its hard for me to want to tell everyone cause I want to keep this place low key so I can get a table and great service as always - but man - Maxwell's has the best buffalo wings in Minneapolis. Better than Runyons. Better than Shorty & Wags. Better than BW3s. Better than Sweeneys in St Paul. Great waffle fries with season sour cream. Oh man. Great Burgers. Great specials. Good selection of brew. Did I tell you I am a professional Buffalo Wing taster. Ohhh mannn I love Maxwells.

• Pros: the tastey wings
• Cons: impossible that there is a bad thing about this place

Ice Castle, not a restaurant...

by hauntedrooftop

So I went there expecting lunch food and maybe a pretty large beer selection, and then I saw that a bunch of hoods came by and trashed the place. Unless this is a new word-of-mouth campagin, I really don't understand. The design of the ice castle was very interesting...so I went to Bobby and Steve's gas station for some chips and a hotdog and made a day of it. All in all, this place was pretty awesome.

• Pros: fresh air
• Cons: cold

Maxwell's is closed as of Feb. 2008

by huuvola

Maxwell's suffered a major fire in Feb. 2008. It is not known if/when it will reopen. Probably a good idea to call before you attempt to visit.

Pretty good food

by angelsuga

Food is pretty good especially the buffalo wings and fries. The j. Tuna is pretty bad though. Stay away from it if you know whats good for you.

Great food, great service, get the nachos

by kls486

Maxwell's is by far my favorite bar in Minneapolis. Their food is excellent, especially the $3 burrito (wednesday special), all you can eat fish (friday), and the nachos. The specials are great and the staff is always friendly and very prompt. It's tough to get a table before/after a Vikings/Twins/Gophers game (especially when the outside is closed), but it's worth the wait.

• Pros: Service, Food, Specials
• Cons: Parking when there is a game at the dome

This Washington Avenue eatery is a hideaway for many of Minneapolis' finest.

In Short
No need to worry about safety in this pub--it's teeming with off-duty cops. Perhaps they also appreciate the tin-ceiling ambience and service that make everyone feel like regulars. Burgers and chicken sandwiches share menu space with beefy Reubens and Philly steak sandwiches, plus walleye and several pastas. Locals walk the beat here daily, but it's especially packed when there's something going on at the nearby Metrodome.

Four Stars!

Stopped here on way to Twins Game. The servers here got it 100% right. They are prompt, friendly, and visable. The Quesadillas are outstanding, as well as the walleye fingers. Friendly folks and patrons make this place a must when in the area.
