Maxie's Southern Comfort opened its doors on May 5th, 2007, serving Southern Inspired “from-scratch” cooking. Maxie’s is located in the old Gerry O’Brien’s Meat Market at the corner of 68thStreet and Fairview Avenue, immediately north of Interstate 94 and the 68thStreet off-Ramp. Maxie’s offers full-service bars and dining on two levels.

Maxie’s Southern Inspiration includes the “Low Country” cooking of the Carolinas, Creole and Cajun cooking of Louisiana, traditional slow-smoked southern barbeque, and southern comfort cooking of all kinds. We feature a raw bar serving fresh oysters, clams and shrimp flown in 5 days a week from the some of the best fish purveyors on the east coast. Our bar offers a hand picked selection of quality wines, micro-brewed and imported beers, and top-shelf liquors. Maxie’s opens 7 days a week at 4pm featuring Milwaukee’s best Happy Hour and only Oyster Happy Hour!

Take-out food and drink are available at all times with reserved to-go parking immediately adjacent to the building. Maxie’s has a second parking lot directly across 68th Street to accommodate our guests. Additional on-street parking is available in our surrounding neighborhood.

Dinner is served late with the kitchen staying open until 11pm Monday-Thursday, until Midnight on Friday & Saturday, and 9pm on Sunday. Because of our dedication to great food, beverages, and a comfortable atmosphere for all, Maxie’s is a smoke free restaurant.

Maxie’s Southern Comfort is the second generation of a restaurant concept that has flourished in Ithaca, New York since 1999; Maxie’s Supper Club and Oyster Bar. We are neither a franchise nor any kind of corporate operation. We are independently owned and operated with love. Our goal is to provide hospitality, vision and a slice of community everyday. We look forward to serving you and getting to know you in the months and years to come. Cheers!
