Maxwell House Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Service depends on who's working. Breakfast is the best
Best Diner in, Crawford County, bar none. Servers are always attentive and the food is cooked fresh in front of you! Always stopping anytime I'm passing by.
Excellent food, wonderful service and amazing pie. If it’s your first time going, I would recommend going on a Wednesday as all their special Mexican menu is available. Their quesadillas are the best and a value.
Stopped in 1st time Middle of the afternoon, We had deserts & a soda Awesome blackberry pie
Good food, atmosphere, and service, but the pies...Best pies around and have been foe decades. Seriously, pie as an appetizer is our norm whenever we go here. Why wait until you're full from eating your breakfast scramble or double cheeseburger? Pie first!
Wow.. this town might be a drive to get too but it's so worth it the food and service is definitely a five-star ...
The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was nice, it was decorated with some older stuff. The we had was good. The was three in our party one had a hamburger & onion rings, another had a fish sandwich and fries and coconut cream pie, I had catfish potato salad, macaroni salad it was all good. Would Highly recommend. The only problem was it wasn't really handicapped accessible you couldn't really use a walker as one in our party needed to use because of mobility issues.
Drove an hour Monday morning to give this place I've heard so much about a shot! Definitely worth the drive. We had a loaded omelet and b&g- both delicious! And got a piece of Cookie Dough Delight, Blackberry, Rubarb and Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie-- every piece was excellent! Will be back
