The vintage decor and sultry vibe gives this cozy location its personality. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating allows furbabies, and I highly recommend you always make a reservation.

The customer service here is great. The bartender and servers are nice and really take care of you.

The fried green tomatoes and crabcake was tasty. The chicken breast for the chicken and waffles were kind of dry, and the waffles were soggy. Although the food tasted good, I was expecting a little more in terms of quality. I think I would return for the drinks, but I’d sit out from the food.

I heard there are shows here during some nights as well, but I visited in the morning for brunch.

Underwhelming, took my sister here after hearing Kirk’s spots on 96.9 every Friday so decided to give it a try.
Made early reservations to make sure we could find a place to park in the neighborhood.
It was pretty dead at this time so thought thought the kitchen wouldn’t be over welmed.
Started with the fried green tomatoes and crab cakesnwhich were excellent.
For the main entre we decided on the pork tenderloin for my sister and the prime rib chefs special for myself.
Pork had good liver but was over cooked and a bit dry with the demi glaze helping it. My prime rib was seared with great flavor but not tender at all and outback out did them here. The twice baked potato was ice cold out of the fridge. Flagged down the waitress and she worked on getting it replaced. By the time the replacement came out i had 2 bites left on the prime rib and the 2nd potato wasn’t much warmer. Decided not to get dessert and push our luck. Totally forgot the cold potatoes I was going to take home but probably no big loss. Was hoping they would have been a special birthday for my sister but the waitress didn’t even ask if it was a special occasion although the host acknowledged it on the reservation note at check in.
Underwhelming is all I can say….

I cannot say enough about how fantastic this place is! Came here with a group of six for magical dining on a Friday night. We were sat promptly and had the privilege of sitting in the private dining room, which is a small chapel like room off the main dining area. It is so adorable and well decorated. The staff bent over backwards with kindness! Each staff member was nicer than the next. Our server was Steve And and he was fantastic, gave great menu recommendations, and was very attentive to us! Another standout was Brian, the “Waterboy“ who, despite it being only his fourth day there, was incredibly professional And attentive! The food was phenomenal, we did not have anything we did not absolutely love! We had the best time, and ended up spending well over 2 hours just hanging out! The pace of the meal was relaxed and not rushed at all! There are so many great menu items, we will definitely be back!

Went with my mother in law to visit this restaurant for the first time during magical dining. I checked it out online prior to get a feel for where we were going and what the parking situation would be like. Parked on Shine just after turning onto the street and walked maybe a block or so to get to the restaurant. Not far at all. Our food choices were tasty, the staff was nice, the vibe and decor was eclectic. Chill, laid back. We reserved seating at the bar which was ready for us when we arrived. My only comment would be that it was very warm inside. I run pretty hot as it is, so my “comfort level” is to be in a cool space. I was a bit warm and sweaty throughout the dinner. They did have some oscillating floor fans placed throughout the interior that helped a little. At the end of the night one of the owners even came over to say hello and welcomed us for stopping in. Very kind Will be back when the weather cools down so we can try the outdoor dining experience next time

Kirt and Maxine Earhart, Owners of Maxine’s on Shine

Maxine is an angel! Pleasure to meet her.

This culinary power couple received as many nominations as anyone on this year’s list, with fans praising them as the kind of small business owners who make a community feel like home. Their restaurant, tucked into a residential neighborhood just east of downtown Orlando, offers sidewalk dining and showcases local artists. Beyond the restaurant, both are active in philanthropic efforts and outspoken advocates for fellow small businesses. To top it all off, their food has earned recognition from the Michelin Guide, with one nominator calling Maxine’s “one of those brilliant local gems that every city should be proud to have.”

The food was amazing, and Julie behind the bar made incredible drinks. Now that’s what you call a bartender — top-tier service all around.

We stopped here after visiting Disney Springs because we were craving a really good Bloody Mary. After a quick Google search, we decided to make the 28-minute drive — and I’m glad we did. The restaurant is tucked right into a neighborhood, which is unique and charming, though parking is street-only.
It was Sunday around 11:30 a.m., and the host told us the wait was about 1.5 hours. Luckily, we snagged two seats at the bar — being from out of town, missing out would have been a huge disappointment.
The Bloody Mary did not disappoint — absolutely delicious. The crab cakes were some of the best I’ve had in a long time: light, not greasy, with a nice crunch and plenty of crab meat (maybe a bit of onion mixed in). The smoked salmon and avocado pita bites were excellent. The fried green tomatoes were just okay, and the kale salad wasn’t for me.
The chicken and pimento cheese sandwich was unfortunately disappointing. The chicken was overcooked, as was the bacon, though adding extra cheese helped make it more edible.

This diamond in the rough is nestled in a small neighborhood just outside downtown Orlando. I enjoyed every moment of this dinner, they are part of Orlando’s Magical Dining which allows you to choose from a selective menu(appetizer, entree and desert) for $40pp. Outstanding atmosphere and menu selections. Bravo Maxine and Kirt, this place is a perfect combination of style and deliciousness! Brunch Fri-Sun is fantastic with a lobster omelette that is unmatched!!

FYI the bartender Julie makes the STRONGEST drinks

Such a cute spot! It’s a 50’s vibe, covered in a red, black, and white color scheme. Your receipt is handed to you in a paperback book. Some of the cocktail glasses are a mason jar attached to a stem.

The staff is just a bunch of friendly people. The hostess was dressed with style. I arrived right at 5pm so I was able to snag a single seat at the bar even though they were full booked for the evening.

I got the lobster roll. It’s the kind that’s mixed with a bit of mayonnaise rather than with warm butter. It came with fries and coleslaw, so it is a full meal.

My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. The service and food were amazing as always, and the cherry on top was the complimentary champagne they offered when they found out we were celebrating my special day. Such a thoughtful touch made the evening even more memorable!
