I've lived in or near Rogers, MN for 25 years. I've seen quite a few places come and go. Rogers has never had a really good restaurant. I've been to Maynard's 3 times now over the last 5 years or so. The food and service are about average. I would compare it to Champp's. It's basically a sports bar with some sandwiches and a few entrees. It holds its own for the town of Rogers. Tonight, however, we had booked a table for 10. We specifically told the hostess on the phone that we had 6 adults and 4 children. They were very gracious and told us they could accommodate us at 6pm tonight (9.25.2012). My parents arrived 10 minutes early to claim the reservation and they were shown to a high top table for 10. They quickly told the hostess that the table was not conducive to the 4 children that were on their way. The hostess told us it would only be a few minutes before they could seat us at a normal table. A few minutes turn into 30 minutes and then 40. As we watched table after table leave and others get sat we waited with 6 adults and children ages 5, 2, 1 and 5 days old. We asked the host and hostesses several times when our table would be ready and were repeatedly told "a few more minutes". At the 45 minute mark we had enough and called Rockwood's in Otsego. It's only 5 minutes up Highway 101, they have better food, better service and a better atmosphere. They were also able to accommodate us on short notice. After waiting 50 minutes for a table we left. I didn't have to suffer through the average food and service and neither do you. Go somewhere else. Go to the new Stone Lounge. Go to Rockwood's. Go to Guadalajara. Go anywhere. Just do us all a favor and don't go here. I had better service at the T&A Truck Stop and I've had better service at the (now gone) Happy Chef. I will not be back to Maynard's. I can wait 50 minutes for a table in Maple Grove without a reservation. read more

This is a great lunch spot. The service is wonderful and they have something for everyone. The best part is that they also have a great salad selection. All of the salads have tons of veggies and nice portions. I had the asian chicken salad. Someone else had the buffalo chicken and they even make their own buffalo sauce onsite. A solid place if you don't feel like dining at one of the many gas stations around! read more

I like the ribs and burgers here. The mashed potatoes are also good too. Very open atmosphere with tall ceilings. Outdoor patio is sometimes nice when the weather is good too. read more

This is my Rogers hang out. Happy Hour Apps is where it's at! Great prices on great food and drinks on the HH menu (especially after 10) Their soups are homemade and also awesome. The bar area is busy practically every night of the week; a variety of free games (poker, bingo, etc). Crowd is diverse from young to old, locals to visitors. The bartenders are really cool! A couple of them have dropped me off at home on nights when I have had too much to drink. I have also eaten a few times in the dining area. Also mostly busy, but this area os more relaxed and quite. Good for conversation and families. read more

Visited tonight and was pleasantly surprised with the great service (Kristina) and great food! The place was quite busy for a Monday evening. After a short wait we were seated at a busy and lively bar table. We had firecracker shrimp as an appetizer which was cooked just right and had a touch of heat to go with a cold beer. Next were baby back ribs (tender, fall off the bone with just enough grilled caramelization), pan fried walleye, and lobster macaroni and cheese. I will go back just for the lobster mac alone. Wow. Big chunks of crab claw meat and smooth and flavorful cheese. Service was great! Kristina guided us to share the lob mac and she was spot on. Everything was hot and for as busy as they were, the food all came out without a hitch. Nice job to the whole staff as I know it takes a whole team to bring it all together. I'm a fan. read more

Last 2 visits not the same restaurant we know, food quality seems to be slipping, service as well not the same - oh well- there goes another good restaurant.... read more

Decided to come here for my birthday. The food was decent but the service was sub par. I would recommend going to the excelsior location over the rogers location any day. read more

Spent a wonderful evening at Maynard's last night with friends - we had not been there in a while. The food was very good, as usual - our table had nachos, flat bread pizza and fish taco wraps. The Grey Goose extra dirty martini was consistently perfect. Both the bar and restaurant were filled, but the atmosphere was inviting and friendly - not crowded. We always know what to expect when we go to Maynard's - a contemporary and casual venue with good food, good drinks, and great times with friends - and we were not disappointed. Maynard's in Rogers is still one of our very favorite places to meet up with friends! read more

Good food, good service and good prices. I was going to go with a comfortable meal like pot roast but then I saw the Cuban sandwich. I've never had anything like if before and it was really good. Pulled pork, ham, sliced pickles, mushrooms and Swiss cheese on ciabatta bread. Wow. read more

I go here with my wife and occasionally with friends of ours. We never do dining room, and by how packed the bar seating is, I know we aren't alone on that preference. Service is very good, bar staff is experience and some have been here for nearly as long as it's been open. Huge assortment of beers on tap. Drinks are competitively priced. We normally try to come in for happy hour specials which are excellent! All the apps are fantastic! Often that's about all we can eat and walk out under $30 total bill. Not a bad date night for the price! read more

Nice place and great food. It was very busy and even with called in reservation we had to wait 20 min once we arrived. They servers where very good. Food and drinks did not take long to get. They have a really nice bar and put door area that would be perfect during the summer. We enjoyed several appetizers before ordering our main meals. Everything we ordered was delicious and very filling. The pork chops where big and cooked just right. I enjoyed the spicy chicken pasta. Most places say spicy but for warning this is very hot! I loved it. For desert we had a piece of chocolate cake. It was huge and we split it between 4 people with out finishing it. Price was not bad for everything. Overall experience was satisfactory and would eat here again. read more

Worst experience in a restaurant ever. Our server, Mary, never checked in with us. She was rude and defensive when we were able to finally flag her down. She gossiped about us to bartenders and other servers in front of us. Never been so mistreated by a waitress in my entire life. We spoke with a manager and were turned away. Unbelievable. I felt guilty after leaving and I don't even know what I did wrong besides paying for my food and drinks. I just don't understand why I was treated so poorly. Very hurt and disappointed. read more

We had the best service and awesome meal. We came in last minute from a tournament with a party of 30 ish people. (In the middle of a snow storm) We typically do this for all tournaments. This is the only restaurant where we all got our meal at the same time and correct. The service in this restaurant is more than excellent. This is where we will definitely come anytime we are in Rogers again. The waitress was calm, courteous, confident, efficient and easily handled a large group of kids and parents. She was very helpful and always had a smile. read more

Loud but service good. Food portions a bit small for the price but good quality.

I really enjoy Maynards. Good service, good food, and classic big ol' portions.

Went to Maynard's in Rogers with my kids (17m and 3), husband and in laws. We had the best server ever. She was very patient with my kids and everything came out just as we ordered it. Restaurant was very clean, bathrooms clean and food was delicious. Great happy hour specials and drink specials. We plan on being back very soon. read more

Large menu selection. Loved the salmon and Asian chicken salads. Several beers on tap. Very cool patio outside the bar.

This place is great all around. Awesome happy hour and food specials. The staff is interactive and friendly. It's the go to spot if you're in rogers! read more

My favorite is the salmon salad. The portion are very large. The service is exceptional.

Very reasonably priced Sunday brunch with friends here was a very pleasant experience. Fresh brewed coffee and decent Bloody Marys' accompanied by a beer chaser. Scrambled eggs with mushrooms were great. Spicy & tasty sausage, and a nice spread with many choices. Suggest going early because it can get crowded. read more

Sunday brunch is amazing. Save room for the ice cream cake dessert!

Great food and great sports bar atmosphere. Great place to watch games & tons of TV's.

We used to go there all the time when we lived in Rogers. Now we try to make it back a couple times a year. Great variety on the menu and the atmosphere is fun. read more

I enjoyed the Asian chicken salad with the slightly spicy ginger dressing. Hubby had the prime rib sandwich which was great - tender and flavorful. Cheese curds were a little different than what I expected - more like fried mozzarella but yummy. Good happy hour offerings. read more

My husband and I went out for dinner and really enjoyed our experience there. The food was really yummy. My husband had a Pastrami on Rye sandwich which he thought was really good. I had the fish tacos which were excellent. We both had leftovers. The service was great too. We will definitely be going back. read more

I can't remember which review was bragging about the Nachos but now I'm hooked! Nachos can be anywhere from average to lame but these are some of the best anywhere. Customize to your taste cause the "fixings" are all there separately... Build your own favorite combo and enjoy with one of the 20+ beers on tap. read more

Ate lunch here as partial business/personal meeting. Waitress was very respectful of our conversation and provided great service.

Fantastic experience. Fun atmosphere and staff. Not to forget the great food. Love it.

You can not go wrong with Maynard's! I love their sandwiches and wraps. They also have a fantastic happy hour! I highly recommend the spicy green beans. Took me years to finally order them, now its an every time occurrence! Some of the prices are higher but always worth it. Never had a complaint about food or service. The only thing I can say that's bad is it's always busy so you may have to wait for a table sometimes... read more

Went here for brunch and never have been before. Was fine, but nothing special. Crowded and a little too much so to have a leisurely meal. Our server was nice, but because they only had buffet service til noon, not much for her to do. Overall, didn't knock our socks off, but it was fine. Also, as two of us are gluten free, the pickings for buffet were really limited. read more

Love this place!! An all time fave of ours when we want to treat ourselves. Love the Firecracker shrimp and can't wait to try the tacos. Great atmosphere!! read more

It's a cool atmosphere, but the food is ok. Got the cajun chicken fettuccine with alfredo and thought it was pretty bland, no seasoning on the chicken either, and the chicken had been clearly heated up in the microwave. I'm sure their other food is good, but it's still if I can get elsewhere. read more

We really enjoy Maynards. We go once to twice a month. The food is very good. I ask what is the top seller many times. The Reuben if awesome. Good meat on it and that is important to me. My hubby like the walleye sandwich and the hamburgers. Each restaurants has things they do the best. I enjoy there hot tea also, many choices. I use to waitress 45 years ago, so I am understanding if something happens. That is life. Thank-you for the nice atmosphere. read more

I was at Maynard's on Tuesday, 8 April 08. I have no idea what to expect, other than friends telling how good it was. I arrived late and the waitress was already taking the dinner order for the rest of the table, as they finished off some delicious looking appetizers. I was impressed by the selections on the menu and decided to get the Sea Bass, baked potato and house salad. Everything that came out looked great. The house salad was good with big cuts of tomatoes and onions. The house salad did not disappoint. Next the Sea Bass with baked potato and green beans came out ($22.95). The baked potato perfectly cooked. The green beans with crisp and juicy...definitely not overcooked. Finally, the pan-seared sea Bass was excellent. The pan-searing gave the sea bass a golden brown color. The sea bass was moist and full of flavor...it almost melts in your mouth. Time for desert. We were a party of five and we ordered two deserts and shared them. One of the other guys ordered the Tower Chocolate Cake A La Mode ($8.95) and I ordered the Carrot Cake ($7.95). I had a small piece of the Tower Chocolate Cake which was great. The Carrot Cake was a four-layer cake and by the time the others got what they wanted from the carrot cake, I was still left with the top two-layers. I'd go back here just for the carrot cake. The frosting was rich and creamy and the cake was moist and light. Even though, I had shared my carrot cake and left with the top two layers, I still could not finish it. I managed to eat the top layer (I love frosting) and a bit from the second layer. The staff was friendly and attentive. The menu has several other items that I'd love to try, such as, Buffalo Shrimp, BBQ Chicken Flatbread with Red Onion, Cheese Curds (made with Wisconsin white cheddar) with marinara sauce, calamari, Cajun Chicken Fettuccini, Portavella Mushroom Goat Cheese Pasta, Garage Burger, and Tenderloin Beef Medallions. I don't know if I'll travel enough try all these but I definitely already have things in mind for my next visit. I rated Maynard's as four stars because I'd like to visit one more time and try some other items before I rated five stars. read more

I am a big fan of Maynards in Rogers because the food is always consistent. It's a fun atmosphere for having a dinner date, celebrating a birthday or just going up to watch a game. The menu offers a great variety of options including American, italian, Asian and Mexican fare. The portions are large and they are priced between $9-$18 a meal. Definitely check out the appetizers. The firecracker shrimp and buffalo wings are big hits. I would like to see them change up the menu though. It's been the same since they opened several years ago. read more

This is a great spot for lunch, dinner, or happy hour. Today I had the fish wrap; which is fabulous. They were more than willing to make it more healthy by leaving off the breading and grilling it instead of deep frying. Great taste, excellent service and fun atmosphere. read more

Don't miss the steak bites or tomato basil flat bread appetizers!

caught the early bird specials this week, what a great value! Food was good, service equally impressive

Love this place! There is truly something on the menu for any appetite. The atmosphere is relaxing and the large space is sufficient for the crowd that typically occupies it. I have yet to be disappointed with a meal. As a buffalo chicken lover, the chicken has a great crisp and the buffalo sauce exceeds par. The waffle fries are also great! read more

Consistently delicious. Great service. This is our "go to" restaurant. It can be hard to get a table on the weekend. That's my only complaint! read more
