    We really loved the cornflake fried chicken with the sriracha butter for our starters and then we had the friend chicken burger for the main! It was amazing and would definitely recommend. We have already said we want to come back and try the ribs next and the chicken wings!

    This is the 4th time I've been to Maxwells, and I won't be going back I'm afraid. They have crammed so many tables in down the end of the ground floor you are elbow to elbow with everyone and you can get up without bashing someone behind you. Just one or two less tables and it will beach better. Also, the service was not very good. You get your food checked at you and when you want something else or extra, it's blooming hard work getting someone's attention. Then when you done with your food they simply forget about you!! And honestly £80 for three burgars and three soft drinks is extortionate.

    Can’t fault the food or service. First time going, mac and cheese nibbles were amazing! Food was lovely, not a crumb left!

    This place was amazing. Friendly staff. Asked to move tables and they were very accommodating. Food was superb, perfectly cooked and hot. Cocktails were good value. Wish the discretionary tip wasn’t added but we would have left a good tip anyway as the staff and service were excellent.

    Was very disappointed in going in to restaurant to be told there was a hour and half wait for a table for 2 when place was empty by person at door , as left I looked online for tables and was able to book straight away and walked back in and to my shock was shown to a table straight away . Food was good and nice atmosphere but very poor on entrance and being told no seats when was half empty !

    We went to lunch. It was quiet but the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. We were sat at a small table for 2. Food was OK a little bit pricey, but in fairness that was expected, we were in Convent Garden. So I think if you want a quick lunch in a friendly place I would recommend. I would come back, but I think I would prefer a bit later so we could have a drink and relax.
