My wife and I have been trying to get here for quite some time, and we were able to get there today. The food did not disappoint at all. Chicken and waffles, crab cakes, and Blanca vegetarian omelette were all cooked well and were very tasty.

I'm sure it's a great place to eat it look like it had a great environment but apparently so popular they had no seats for at least a half a day so if you're going to go get ""reservations""

The entire staff was so friendly and the food was incredible. I got the crab cake benedict and tried some of my friends Catch, and my other friends chicken and biscuit bowl. It was all so good. We sat next to some pretentious jerk who complained about the taste of butter on his food (idk bro it’s a restaurant) and they kept trying to make him happy and basically cleaned the kitchen for him. The owner came out twice and they still weren’t happy. He was so patient with him and told them he would get a toaster for next time just for no butter. I would have punched him in the face. The owner then came and talked to me and was so kind and fun and told us about the history of the place. I will be a regular here until I die. They use just the right amount of butter for their dishes?
It’s the coolest place in Orlando. Not only does it remind me of Brooklyn, but Maxine loves her city and is very civic minded.

Amazing food, server and “Mr. Maxine” gave amazing service. It was my first time going and I didn’t have a reservation, that confused the hostess which is understandable but could have received a better service from her, but overall had a great

My husband found this place and though I wasn’t excited about sitting in 15-20 minutes worth of traffic we were not disappointed when we arrived! We were met with a place that wasn’t boring or typical. It was a work of art! Everyone was kind and accommodating to my toddler. Our awesome server Perry got the kids a paper menu and colored pencils to draw with for their entertainment and my husband and I tangerine mimosas. Yummy! We even got to meet Mr. Maxine himself who was a superb host with a great sense of humor and relatability to all his guests. You know you’ve found a real treasure when the owner and all the employees are happy to be there! We witnessed only good vibes from everyone. The food, oh my goodness, the food was cooked to order from scratch. The steak fries were perfectly well seasoned. My Stout Braised Brisket was moist and tender. The biscuits were fantastic too. My son had chicken and waffles and liked the rosemary butter and husband greatly enjoyed his New York Strip! There was nothing left on their plates. My toddler had some eggs and bacon so it worked out for all us! I would recommend going there any time they’re open that you can find a reason to go. The outdoor patio seating looked gorgeous too. As we left we ran into Mr. Maxine one more time who took pictures for us and a selfie too?what a character! Support this small business for the love of humanity!Kid-friendliness: They don’t have a kid menu or booster/high chairs so be prepared to have your toddler sit in the adult seat and eating some of your food. It’s no big deal when the bigger picture is absolutely amazing!

I have heard this place was great for so long, we finally gave it a try last weekend. It definitely has a cute vibe, but the patio area was a little bit of a let down after hearing so many raves about it. I think my expectations may have been too high going in to it, because there was nothing really wrong with the patio. It was just a normal patio, nothing really awesome or special. On the positive side, everyone that we encountered on the wait staff was so kind and friendly. We had amazing drinks and all of our apps were delicious. We had the crab cakes and chorizo. A friend had the beet salad and said it was awesome. Where it fell a little flat to me was the entree. I got the Chicken Maxine, and while the flavor was decent, the sauce was incredibly runny. I left half of it on my plate because of that. My husband did say that his lasagna was very good. We also did not hear about any specials from our server, yet, overheard them being announced to the table behind us. This was well after we ordered, so too late to ask by then. So that was a little disappointing. Overall it was good, not amazing. I would go back and try their brunch.
