| - Waxhaw's something of a hidden gem in this region. It's not that people don't know that Waxhaw exists, but it is a bit out of the way for most Mecklenburgers (hey, remember the Mecklenburgers? Give yourself a pat on the back if you do!) to make the drive here. Well, it's not really all that out of the way. Whatever. What's cool about Waxhaw is how it's embraced its' small town charm, without making too many concessions to the modern world. Lots of small shops, and a few excellent dining choices to make here if you're inclined to spend a few hours here.
So what's my point? Nothing, really, except that if you're not making it into Waxhaw, then you're missing out on Maxwell's Tavern.
From the looks of it, Maxwell's is exactly that, a tavern. You've got your pub fare, you've got your big screen TVs, you've got plenty of beer on tap. Check. What separates Maxwell's from the rest of the crowd is its respect for the dish. You're not burdened with typical (read: boring) pub fare; instead, you're treated to several different and imaginary choices on the menu. For example, the Black n' Bleu burger, sprinkled with a generous dose of black pepper and smothered in bleu cheese, is a far and welcome cry from your typical pub-style cheeseburger. In other words, you won't go wrong with whatever you sample from the menu.
Lots of draft beer to choose from, and Maxwell's always serves up a few beer specials. This place has become one of my favorite watering holes.
Keep in mind a few things which, for me, don't earn the coveted five-star review:
1. It does get very crowded here, regardless of the time. Maxwell's is pretty much THE PLACE to eat in Waxhaw, so don't be surprised if you show up at 3pm on a weekday, and the joint's crowded. Expect long waits on weekends.
2. It does get VERY LOUD IN HERE. Maybe it's because Maxwell's is a relatively small-sized pub. Maybe it's the exposed brick. Maybe it's the Pittsburgh transplants screaming their lungs out while watching their beloved Steelers shit-stomp all over Kansas City. It gets loud. If you bring the kids, maybe bring them some ear plugs. For yourself, as well. This could be a turn-off for some, but I don't mind chatter. I do mind the TV being blasted at full volume, which thankfully all the TVs are set to mute.
3. It does get busy here, so expect to wait a wee bit longer for your meal. Also expect your waiter/waitress to be occupied with other tables, so unless it's an emergency, such as they're a severed finger in your plate of fries, just wait a few for a refill, okay?
If you're coming to spend a few hours in Waxhaw, or live in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner.
