    We arrived earlier than our reservation time (1.5 hrs) but the staff were very happy to accommodate my family and I. Our food and drinks order was taken in good time. The food was delicious and throughly enjoyed by all. However, the Oreo Freakshake was disappointing, as the Oreo cake tasted awful. The staff member dealing with us was very quick to deal with the issue and a discount was applied to the final bill. Overall a very positive experience and will definitely be calling again with my family.

    Great value, staff were really good and always make sure you were seen too. We went for the 25 pound marg and nachos deal, there are alot of tik toks that tell you the nachos are unlimited too but this wasn’t the case sadly. You get one plate of nachos to share between two people. Margs are strong and lovely too! Overall good expierence

    Outstanding again. Had dinner here last time we were in London and enjoyed. Booked again for this visit and it was great dining experience. Food was terrific and staff were great. Very attentive and a surprise birthday treat dessert. Can’t recommend the restaurant highly enough.

    Nothing was too much trouble. We were a party of 6 and we're looked after superbly. A great evening where everything was really good.

    I regularly visit Maxwells when heading to an Arsenal match. It’s a tradition my Dad and I have which is quite special. We usually visit every 1-2 months and it’s always a lively and friendly experience.

    Lovely lively place and food for my 7 year old grand-daughter. Loved the energy of the staff, even the managers, who were dancing around. Celebration brownie for her which she loved and made her feel special. Have recommended for a friend for next week.

    A bit disappointing to be honest. We got to Maxwells for our reservation at 12:00, where the staff were quite friendly and seated us quickly. Good atmosphere and decor inside. The experience was let down by the Food & Drink portions, which felt child sized and some confusion/delay on our food. Ordered wings to start and the birds must have been on a diet as there was more bone than meat. My wife is pregnant so we asked to swap the blue cheese for ranch dressing with the wings. I asked several staff, but by the time it arrived it was too late to eat with the wings and was taken away full when the drinks glasses were cleared away. Then we had Burgers for mains, which were ok and tasty enough but quite small. Considering we arrived early and ordered almost immediately we had to wait a fair while for our mains. Quality of the food was fine, but just not enough. Wouldn't rush back in a hurry.
