We’ve been coming to Bath for years. This has always been our favorite place for dinner. I dinged a star because this last time my sister and I each ordered the reuben and they forgot the dressing on both of them, so they were very dry. We asked the waitress for some and she was great and brought it out. Quantity of food for the price is fantastic, especially compared to other local restaurants. The building and interior design is fun and cozy.

I like the restaurant, our server and the food was quite good. The issue was many seafood items on the menu that day weren’t available at 3p. We overheard both staff and customers wonder how that could happen. It changed the atmosphere at least that day. I would try it again because I enjoyed what we had.

My husband and I were in Bath and chose this place—we were not sorry! Delicious bread, excellent sangria house Chardonnay was crisp and refreshing. My husband said that their clam chowder was the best that he had ever eaten. That’s saying a lot. I loved the French onion soup, and could’ve eaten an entire plate of their asparagus. Our server Allerie really shone after the rush was over, chatting with us and making suggestions. The restaurant is a bit understaffed, so don’t be in a hurry, but who isn’t these days? So glad we discovered this place. We will be back the next time we are here.

Nice establishment. Good customer service. Good cocktails,and great burger. Burger was cooked to perfection. Fries are crispy and brown. Key lime pie was tasty. A little tart but good over all. 5 of 5 forks. Prices are reasonable.

Excellent food, very fresh. Highly recommend the French onion soup and scallops. Seating was slightly cramped, but fit with the atmosphere. Service was excellent, but not as friendly as we’re used to. However, this seems standard for New England. You won’t regret stopping and enjoying dinner here.

Man, J.R. Maxwells is some of the best dining in Bath! From their cheese sticks and sweet chili dipping sauce to their seafood plates, you can not miss! I had the scallop and haddock plate it was an absolute banger! My wife had fried shrimp, it was delicious, and my daughter had a combo with potato soup and a sandwich. Lacked refills on our water, but they were slammed. Baked stuffed haddock and the chicken cord on Bleu are also worth looking into! We all had dessert, I had the strawberry shortcake, and it made my taste buds very happy! Maxwells is a staple for Bath residents, and travelers should come in and be welcomed into the greatest little town in America!

Met lots of locals made new friends. The staff was on point. The stuffed baked lobster can’t be improved upon.

Best aspect of Maxwell’s is that it’s open later than most other “nice” places in the area.

I have been to JR Maxwell’s several times. The food is delicious, all made in-house. I tried the lobster stew this time with a salad. It was soooo good. They make their own ranch dressing with dill. I bought a jar last time to take home. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is great. I always look forward to stopping in for lunch when I’m visiting Bath.
