    Tried the southern fried chicken burger, it’s enormous. Delicious but so big I couldn’t eat it all or anything else I ordered. Very generous portions. Milkshake is very filling but delicious. Brought two friends and they enjoyed their macaroni cheese and the fajitas. All in all a very successful meal. Staff always smiling too which feels very welcoming. Especially the gentleman who met us at the entrance.

    Always enjoy a meal and cocktails at Maxwells when coming to London. The food is good but mainly come for the cocktails which are very good. Staff are also very efficient and helpful and service is good.

    Another great experience at Maxwell's and I enjoyed the 2 free cocktails that were waiting for me! My daughter had the chicken burger and the amount of chicken was so much she couldn't finish it. Just a slightly more attentive waiter would have upped the experience. Especially as we asked for blackcurrant cordial and were presented with a glass with cordial in the bottom of it to add our own water to!

    My sons who are 5 and 3 had a great time. It was lovely that the restaurant made provisions for kids with activities and the drinks came quick as well as the food service. My eldest son said he rates Maxwell’s a 10 out of 10. He loved his food and atmosphere. Highly recommend this place as this is my second time going.

    Always a good bet for families. Even though it was busy, we were never left waiting. Food was quick, fresh and hot. Staff were friendly and it’s great for a pre/post theatre show. Booking via OpenTable app makes so easy.

    Maxwell's is always brilliant and our favourite place to eat in Central London in a relaxed, fun and casual atmosphere. It's always busy which is what makes the vibrant atmosphere, and the management and staff work so hard and in such an organised way to deliver a memorable time. I can't fault it in any way.
