Maxie's Supper Club and Oyster Bar: Eat Great Food
Cuisine: New Orleans-style Fish House; Southern Comfort Food; Barbecue
Maxie's was the first place I dinned in Ithaca; pulling into town just past 11 pm, we found Maxie's still serving a full menu - it felt like we had arrived in a late-night dinning heaven. Sure, people can debate what is the best restaurant in town, and Maxie's belongs in that conversation; but no bones about it, past 9pm Maxie's is the best restaurant in Ithaca as they serve a full menu to 11pm (midnight on weekends). With a creative, tasty and evolving menu Maxie's is a reflection of Ithaca's culture and lifestyle. And Maxie's is also a great place to eat, no matter what time it is.

The Food: 5 out of 5

  • Crab Corn Chowder is meaty, smooth and silky
  • Crab Cakes are excellent, crisp outside, moist inside with a robust Cajun mayo
  • Shrimp and Grits plump shrimp explodes in your mouth; moist and firm grits have a complex nutty taste; sauce is warm, cozy and begs for dipping;flavors harmonize to make your mouth come alive. Sausage is optional. Possibly the best dish in town.
  • Pulled Pork generous serving off pork, be sure to get enough Mop sauce as not having enough changes taste dramatically; beans are amazing and have chunks of pork
  • Ribs a KC dry rub and sauce put the bite in these meaty ribs
  • Cornbread is sweet, light on the tongue and pleasantly moist



    The Experience: 5 out of 5
  • Lively, almost festive, vibe
  • Mardi Gras Beads
  • Full Menu to 11, Midnight on weekends
  • Outside dining and a breeze room
  • Veteran wait staff who enjoy what they do; Cheyenne was great

    The Price: $$$
  • Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food
  • Bottomless Corn Bread - makes any soup a meal
  • Bonus: Half-priced Raw Bar from 4-6
    Maxie's Supper Club, is located at 635 W. State St., Ithaca, NY
