"We looked up places to eat for breakfast while we were staying in the area and Maxine’s had good reviews so we checked it out. We ended up going three days in row for our breakfast because it was so good!! The food was incredible. The atmosphere is great- so cool and individual, playing awesome classic rock. The staff were also really welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend you go here if you’re in the Venice / Marina area"

"This is a very quaint and unique spot for breakfast or lunch. You can tell it’s been around for a while—in the best way possible. From the worn-in floors to the eclectic decor and vintage tables, everything has a warm, one-of-a-kind feel that gives the place real character. Seating options are varied: you can sit indoors at tables, at the bar on high stools, or outside on the small back patio or at a sidewalk table out front. It’s cozy without feeling cramped. The service is thoughtful and friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. Definitely don’t miss the freshly made blueberry muffins—they’re a standout and worth the visit on their own. Outside dogs are allowed. Also, this place used to be called "Maxwell's" but it changed to Maxine's a little while back."

"Food was great. Loved the steak and eggs. It was amazing. Owner and employees are very nice and friendly. Service is very satisfactory. Will cone here again cant wait."

"Formally known as Maxwell‘s up until 2020 this location has been a popular breakfast spot for many decades. It can get quite busy during certain rushes, but we stopped in early this morning and did not have to wait at all to be seated. It’s quite small on the inside, but they have table, counter, and outdoor seating options. Our waitress was really friendly and everything that we ordered came out very quickly. It is a bit expensive compared to some other breakfast options, but that is most likely due to its location. Parking is also pretty easy, your best options will be in the neighborhood behind the restaurant or on Washington. They have a lot of great options on the menu, but I went with my favorite breakfast dish, which is the Eggs Benedict. I chose the Bomb Benedict because you choose your own protein and I went with the Louisiana Hot Sausage and really enjoyed it. It was pretty spicy with strong flavors and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I just loved the combo overall. I also ordered a Biscuit on the side and thought it was one of the best Biscuits that I’ve had in a very long time. It was giant, fluffy, and everything that I hope for when ordering a Biscuit. I would stop here again just for the Biscuit, even though I’ve already dined in at this place many times over the years. I would recommend and will be back again many times in the future."

"I don’t get it. It was average at best. $68 later and we got a crappy Bfast burrito, a mushy and old bowl of fruit, a breakfast sandwich and 2 crappy bitter coffees. The service was good. But the food… smh!"
