When I first heard the word of mouth about this place I rolled my eyes. My expectations were that it was going to be a "Little Scottsdale" spot downtown or that I'd walk in and find a bunch Reagan look-a-likes in suits drinking tall ones and discussing synergy. Well, needless to say, I found neither of those two nightmares awaiting me.
I've been to Maizie's a couple of times now and I've yet to be disappointed. All of their food is surprisingly well-priced considering the portions you get, taste, and presentation. I had an order of the hummus as wells as the Southwest Chicken Salad. The hummus was standard but the Southwest Salad was one of the best I've had. Another time I ordered the Chicken Asiago Alfredo which wasn't too heavy but definitely hit the spot. Their selections of beers is also pretty solid. I've yet to go there for happy hour though.
With that being said, I've also got to give Maizie's props for creating a laid back atmosphere. It's nice being in a place that if it has a busy dinner hour you don't have to raise your voice to hold a conversation. It's the perfect spot to go for a late dinner. In all, Maizie's is an enjoyable experience that definitely calls for multiple visits.
