I recently went to Maxy's with a large group (approximately 30 people) for dinner. We had a booking for 7.30pm, we didn't receive menu's until 9.00pm when we were told very rudely by the waiter/manager that as the kitchen couldn't cater for such a large number of a la carte meals we had to share the meat platters. None of this was advised when making the booking. Quite a number of our group had specific dietary requirements and when advising the waiter of this we were informed that "oh well, order what you want then, but I don't know what time you're gonna get it". The restaurant was not even half full!
As by this stage we were quite hungry - and not wanting to wait much longer I ordered the trio of dips with extra pita bread. What arrived (an hour later) was three separate piles of the same dip and no extra bread!
Half of our group had already left by then - without any dinner.
Will never be visiting this restaurant again.

I've only been here once for dessert on the way home. The place was pretty empty but the service was very slack. Had a sticky date pudding that certainly wasn't amongst the best I've had. The whole place is pretty tacky - reminds me of something out of the 80's (don't think the interior has been updated since then!). I think people go there for the big serves, haven't tried the mains so I can't comment on the quality.

Excellent restaurant with a great atmosphere. Exceptional service, friendly staff and fantastic food. I would recommend the ribs, delicious and a house specialty. Fantastic value for money.

What a top restaurant. Me and my family just come here all the time and we all love it. The food is beautiful and there is always enough to go around. Very nice surroundings + Good food= Satisfied customer!

Great place for carnivores

We've been here lots of times with friends. Very casual and a great place to go if you're really hungry.

The biggest plates you've ever seen

One of the funniest experiences is watching people visit Maxy's for the first time. They don't realise (nor do management inform them) that it's physically impossible for 1 person to finish a main course so they sit there with huge plates of food on their table trying to get through it all.

The main courses are around $28 but you can easily share that between 2. This place is great for larger groups (e.g. birthday get togethers) because you can order a couple of Mixed Grill platters and it will feed an army. The ribs are fantastic and the chicken schnitzel and calamari come in vast quantities. Ask for the mushroom sauce on your schnitzel. Not sure who Maxy is...
