The food is great, and it's a really fun place. That said, a lot of things about the establishment don't really make sense. It's a large space, but the seating feels awkwardly arranged and surprisingly limited for the size of the room. There's also a side room with plenty of seating that, for some reason, always seems to be closed off. They could easily be serving twice the volume, but choose not to. They also have a liquor license, yet they close at 9:30, even on Fridays and weekends. And speaking of the liquor license, you'd think it was a beer-only spot because there's basically no indication that they make mixed drinks or cocktails. Overall, it just feels like a place with a lot of strange business choices. I'm always disappointed when Maxwell's sounds like the perfect place to go, then I check the time and realize it's 9 p.m. on a Friday, which somehow already feels too late. I guess they know what they're doing hopefully read more

A decent find for a pizza craving while staying in Redding for the evening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a bit more if a dive than I expected. The entrance with the bar could use more decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a second room we didn't see because of a private party. Service wasn't great but always polite and with a smile. Drinks were limited (alcoholic and non) and they are out of our first app selection. The pizza made up for what was lacking in ambiance though. I'm not a fan of fried zucchini made their way, but perhaps others would love it. Parking was around the back of the block. We didn't have trouble finding a spot, but it was limited on a seemingly quiet Saturday night downtown. read more

Maxwells on a Thursday is a great deal if you want a half price pizza. This is definitely worth trying. However, choose your pizza carefully. They all sound good but I didn't love all my choices. I tried the savory sweet pork (apple and pork belly) which was only so-so, the Brie and ham, which was better but still not quite there, and the balsamic steak, which hit the spot. Service was extremely slow, which normally I don't mind, but this was extra extra slow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is kind of plain as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd go back if only because of the price but otherwise it's fair. read more

I don't know if Maxwells sold recently but they used to be good. The pizza was great, food was great. Today we took our family and the pizza tasted like store bought/big chain frozen pizza and the pastrami sandwich that my husband and I spilt was fine.

Maxwells Eatery - Random Cockroach on the bathroom sink...... - Pizza Near Me - Redding, California

This place I would come back to if I want to have a couple drinks and eat a little. The garlic balls were pretty good just wish they had a bit of cheese in them and the pizza was also pretty good. The wings were not my favorite, I would compare them to wings you'd get at like round table or dominos. The people who attended us were pretty nice and easygoing. The place was a little dark but overall if you just want a drink and a small bite I'd recommend this place but Im not sure about having a full meal here I would have to try it again. read more

Fantastic fast food!!! I have loved every burger, sandwich and pizza I have tried there. The guys are very attentive if you need anything, just make eye contact and they'll rush to your side! If you're looking for pub food before a night of drinking, you can do both here! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They're perfectly centered downtown to eat before events nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Jokes on me! Come here for the drinks and pizza not the burgers! First let me say that the service was outstanding, our server was very attentive and she handled our large party with expertise. They also took allergy precautions for me which I appreciate! I got the spicy jalapeño and it wasn't really spicy and served a bit cold but the pizza THE PIZZA is next level good. The ranch that they put on the side is to die for (I could drink it with a straw) and the cheese pulls were out of this world. My husband got the wings and really liked them. The lemon pepper seasoning wasn't over done or too salty, it was just right. I highly recommend this place for your bar crawl evenings. read more

The good and the not so good: the good...Buy a drink and get 1/2 off on your burger on Tuesday, what's not to love about that? I ordered the Maxwell Burger and at 2022 prices it was a bargain and it was something different with the peanut butter and fried jalapeños! It was a nice combination of hot and sweet but not too much of either and definitely a full plate of food. The not so good: my burger was very dry and the side of onion rings were a bit soft and soggy, just not freshly made and since theirs is my favorite combo when it comes to burgers it was less than tasty for my liking. Also, upon my refill of my water there was a very strong taste of a sanitizer so I'm guessing it wasn't finished drying before they refilled it and it was overpowering the water. read more

This place used to be really solid but it's gone to hell lately. The all black interior is kind of worn and dated looking. In part, that's because it's dusty and worn. The bench seating of the booths is cracked or caving in--it's not comfortable. The food shows the same lack of care. My son and I ordered sandwiches which should never have been allowed out of the kitchen. The buns were burned to a crisp. The meat in my burger was just as dry--it was an inedible burnt puck. The only bright spot was our server, but he missed an opportunity to quality check the food he brought us. The burned buns were conspicuous and inexcusable. I won't be back. read more

Maxwells Eatery - Fried Zucchini & Garlic Cheese Bread - Pizza Near Me - Redding, California

Great place for good food and cold drinks! It's right outside the Market street promenade near shops and more eating establishments. There is plenty of parking on the street and around the general vicinity. You won't have issues finding parking in Redding. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. It can be good for groups if you call ahead. It's a casual setting but not too loud, so it's a great place to meetup with friends. Maxwell's would also be a great place to stop if you're passing through town looking to stop at a comfortable place for a good meal, or want to catch a game on the screen. The bathrooms are spacious and clean. Try the buffalo blue fries and tatchos! The garlic chicken pizza is delicious. I'm not typically a fan of white sauce pizza BUT I would go back just for the garlic chicken pizza! read more

Y'ALL! I DO NOT HAND OUT 5 STARS EASILY!!! Maybe it's because we were hungry, maybe it's because Maxwell's was a short drive (10 mins walk; 4 mins by car and it was raining so, yeah, car), maybe it's because they serve Rogue Hazelnut Spiced Rum in a fantastic modern take on a mai tai that made us forget all the sugary mai tais we've delightfully downed in the past, maybe it's because the staff was friendly, attentive AND offered suggestions of libations + food combos based on the flavors we were craving, and maaaaybe, just maybe, it was because the pizza I had was insanely filled with delicious herbs and packed with veggies AND came with a side of ranch dressing without asking, but all those maybes were just too much to not reward Maxwell's! Terry is the bubbly, fun, knowledgeable server who made suggestions after bringing us menus as our butts hit the high top stools. We each went with their on tap cider offerings, one a crisp dry apple, the other a somewhat sweet cherry/apple. Both were good - BUT! - afffter we ordered, I noticed their cocktail list and saw they have a mai tai made with Rogue Hazelnut Spiced Rum. That, somewhat ;), brought back memories of a fun drinking visit to the Rogue brewery in Portland years ago when we first tasted this spirit in root beer. (sigh....digressing as my Member Berries kick in...). AAAAANYwho, we ordered the Maxwell's Mai Tai($8) promptly and were rewarded with a light, refreshing, easy to sip modern take on the usually sugary sweet concoction inspired decades ago by friends of the infamous Trader Vic, who described the drink to him upon returning from a Polynesian vacation. It still packed some spirit, but was delicious. THEN our piping hot small, 9", pizzas($14/ea) arrived with a container of ranch dressing. I had just heard Megan Thee Stallion talk about ranch w/pizza being a Texas thing 'y'all HAVE to try', so I was all in. My Garlic Chicken w/white sauce and MASS veggies(artichoke, tomato, mushrooms & zucchini) would have been excellent without the ranch, but dipping all that lusciousness into the creamy, perfect dressing was...was...was...perfecter(????) - lol! Yup, I'm a believer. Hubby really enjoyed his personalized ham w/extra cheese pizza w/o the ranch addition. I thought a small pizza would be a cinch to chow down, but both of us switched to "pace yourself mode" to finish. With all those veggies on mine, I easily could have shared the small. Alas, the only vegetable my husband consumes is a fried french, so he wanted nothing to do with my garden based pie. We thoroughly enjoyed our time, service, drinks and food at Maxwell's Eatery and were happy Yelp was wrong about their hours and Maxwell's being closed on a Sunday. They are VERY MUCH OPEN. Go say hi to Terry, enjoy a pizza and some Rogue Hazelnut Spiced mai tais and thank me later. OR, get a shot of that hazelnut spiced rum in your root beer. Cheers! CC read more

I wanted to love this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The art work is amazing and our server was the best! Very sweet and knowledgeable and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wanted to be so impressed and happy.... Wanted to be. My burger was VERY VERY VERY DRY. I added blue cheese (the blue cheese itself is delicious.) and ranch and still. It lacked flavor and was so dry. They forgot my bacon. It had green chilles and onions and cheese and it was still dry and lacked seasoning. Our server was awesome and offered a discount (3.00) which ok but a 20.00 burger that was dry and missing ingredients.... I added bacon cheddar fries and also dry! Soooo dry. Everything was so dry! Also the kids burger is the exact same price as the regular burgers?? Huh? MIKEY IS AMAZING I HE WAS THE NICEST! Do not let this review fool you HE WAS GREAT! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was disappointed in my food but loved the ambiance and the art and Mikey![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However I'd come back to try pizza. MIKEY WAS PHENOMENAL! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The business owners need to acknowledge that with the hours people will bring children so they should have crayons or a coloring menu for the tinys again MIKEY for the win as he brought my baby a pizza box and a pen and made her night![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There should be some children options on the menu as well, unless you are trying to avoid children and believe me I FULLY understand but you should say "NO KIDS MENU AVAILABLE" not say "yes we have a child's menu" and charge 16.00 for a regular dry burger. That's insane. Other than that MIKEY WAS AMAZE BALLS! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And whoever the artist is is BRILLIANT![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will go back to try the pizza. Just the humble opinion of a Bay Area know It all :-) MIKEY WAS AWESOME That pic of Nip! Is LIFE!!!!! read more

Like a lot of folks, we were passing through Redding while on the way to Portland and it was lunch time. A gastropub like Maxwells was the perfect choice. I had what was considered an amazing burger cooked perfectly. The beer batter onion rings were also perfect. The BLT had lots of bacon and was awesome. The service was quick and the server was great. Looks like a local bar with lots of booze but I say don't forget to have something to eat while you are there. read more

Let's start by saying this place has great food & service. We came in with 9 people and the let us sit in a closed section instead of crammed on a table with some barstools and we appreciated that. We spent all day on Lake Shasta in the heat and we were starving! We order Garlic cheese bread, fried pickles, jalapeños & cheese curds to start. My son ordered a cheese pizza, the wife ordered the Ham & Brie pizza "her new favorite pizza" and sriracha lime wings & I ordered the Pastrami and Swiss pizza with some buffalo wings. Our party also got a good assortment, Volcano wings (he couldn't finish) biria calzone & a Philly cheesesteak, all of us left fat & happy. Our server (wish I could remember his name) was fast, attentive and gave us all the California ketchup we could ask for. I come up to Redding/Shasta once a year or so and Maxwells is one of those place I'll come back for. read more

We were in Redding today to watch a Basketball game at Simpson University and saw that Maxwells had a good reviews. We walked in and it was deceiving because it was dark with just bar tables and stools. We shared the Totchos, which were basically Nacho Tater Tots! They were excellent! My husband ordered the Maxwells Burger with Pesto Fries. My niece ordered the Garlic Chicken Pizza but hold the Zucchini and Artichoke and liked it! I ordered the Veggie Combo Pizza and really liked it! Although I could only eat 1 slice from my small pizza because I was so full from the Totchos! We certainly recommend Maxwells Eatery! read more

OUTSTANDING bar food. Gourmet bar food? idk Hand breaded mushrooms were literally mouth watering. Blue burger w/avacado? Delicious.

Staff is friendly and attentive. Good food! Love their half off pizza days every Thursday.

Would have loved to rate them on their food. Rather, I'm for now rating them on ordering service - or lack of. I was told they had pretty good pizza. So, Sunday evening (Yelp and their web page says they are open) called around 5:50PM. 4 rings and a recorded message that the mailbox is full. Thought maybe they are busy, try again in 5. Tried again - mailbox is full. Gave another 5 minutes - mailbox is full. One more 5 minutes pause - mailbox is full. You know where this is going. Guess they don't know how to manage voicemail boxes. Maybe its burner phone. It would have been nice to have a recording saying - "our hours are XXXX" or "sorry we are closed today". Not hard to do. Something a little more customer friendly than "the mailbox is full" Guess their not big fans of take out... read more

The prices haven't been updated in a while so the meal I thought I was paying 35 dollars for turned out to be 57.88 not a problem with todays prices everywhere, just caught me off guard and the food was sub par I ordered for pick up so wasn't expecting the food to be as good as in the restaurant but my onion rings were soggy the loaded cheese fries were dry and cold but the burger hit the spot very flavorful and good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sadly the sides didn't give me that same enjoyment, but I do recommend this place for a night out not night in![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Used the online menu to order a pizza to go. Unfortunately upon arrival we found that they'd prepared the wrong pizza (pineapple??? yikes!), one that wasn't even on their menu. Anyway they were very gracious and made a new, corrected version and my goodness, it was great! Definitely recommend Maxwell's if you're looking for a good pizza. Second time was a charm.

Really really good pizza. The place is pretty low key and unassuming but the food was great. Came in on a holiday and still had quick service.

Visited 5/18/2018 Across the street from the Thunderbird hotel this little bar and grill is a great place to hang out have a beer and enjoy a Quick to much. The food was 4 1/2 Stars. The service was 5 Stars. Sadly they only have beer and wine. If it was a full-service bar this would be a five star bar and grill. Well worth a visit if you're in the Reading area. Next time in Reading I will definitely visit again. read more

Went here for burgers and fries. Service was great and friendly but the food was just subpar. The meat in the burgers was not seasoned and flavors were kinda bland. I was sick for 3 days from this place. Now I do have a sensitive digestive system but I can handle burgers and fries typically with out too much a problem. There are just better options in town. read more
