Great place to sit outside and enjoy the river and passing pleasure boat traffic. Food was fresh and tasty; burgers and fries highly seasoned but balanced with toppings. Enjoyed the green goddess salad with crisp butter lettuces and walnut topping.

We have been going to the Maharaja since we lived in Milwaukee and our son was a toddler. Now we live an hour away and he is 17, but it is still our favorite! The food was fantastic as always and our server was super helpful talking about some of the new menu items.
