UPDATE: In response to your reply, just know I am not "close friends" with Jamie, so do NOT accuse me of writing my review because of her leaving - EXTREMELY RUDE of you & very UNPROFESSIONAL! These things have bothered us for years, I even complained to Tony when the wine situation happened. Jamie simply made us feel welcomed and appreciated in your establishment. Not once did she ever give us something for free, except when my food came out wrong, if that is what you are thinking why we are "close friends"??? We were shocked & saddened when we went in and she was no longer there. And my review is true about Michelle. I didn't want to mention her name before but doing it now since you obviously do not care about a long established customer's review of one of the WORSE service people I have ever met and I'm sure we are not the only ones who feel this way!!! That disgusting rabbit Peep thing has fecal matter all over it I am positive. Also, after Tony left, and your new bar menu, your food has gone downhill fast. Overly greasy, weird ingredients, too spicy and nothing of interest. Think what you will about my review, there are MANY other places who will appreciate our money. Yes, I am very UPSET right now and I will TELL EVERYONE I know, inc Brookfield "peeps" (yes pun intended) since that is where I grew up, right behind St.Dom's.

ORIGINAL REVIEW UNEDITED: Been coming here since 1999 and probably have spent $15-20k here at least. We always felt so welcome from cathy who we first knew as the hostess to the best bartender/server Jamie in the bar. We've seen many employees come and go and sometimes come back again!!! Maxims Used to be our favorite place to go however it has gone downhill fast, esp in service and food. The blond in the bar is so unbelievably rude and won't go out of her way to even acknowledge you and acts like you are bothering her. And she carries around this filthy Peeps rabbit thing that probably has more fecal matter on it than you can imagine. Sorry but it is disgusting) I used to bring friends in there over the years for parties or little fet togethers but no longer esp after many friends/family on different visits all mentioned how rude she was and none of them have wanted to go back since. Only waitress/bartender Ive tipped at 10% and she didn't even deserve that. She treats people like we are bothering her!!! Seriously? Isn't this your job? We actually call ahead of time to find out who is working in the bar and if it is her we go somewhere else, someplace that APPRECIATES OUR MONEY & US AS CUSTOMERS! Once My friend and I ordered wine and it was obviously old and skunky tasting. It should never have been served. I asked her if she had a fresher bottle of any red opened and she said no. Then later after our food came, I watched her pour out the bottle of red as she KNEW it was bad. She wouldn't even offer to open up a new one - really? (think it was a Merlot but dont recall). My 29 yo son said the same thing about her when he went with a friend. Jamie is very nice and friendly unlike the blond and yes I do know her name but prefernot to say it here. (I never eat in the main restaurant as it is too loud and bright for me so last 15 years has been in the bar) We actually have walked in, saw her and turned around and left! The food has also changed and is so so but I can tolerate that if Im treated well. This has bothered me for a long time and I am sure WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO FEEL THIS WAY!

The food was incredible - I got the veggie skillet (pictured). However, the service was not the greatest. The first thing our waitress said to our group was "coffee, anyone?" The few who wanted coffees raised their hands; she went to get the coffee and came back and asked for our food orders. She was so short and fast I never felt like I had a chance to say what I wanted to drink. I was stuck with water the whole time. I feel like she should have stuck with what 99.9% of all wait staff does and say something like, "Can I get you all something to drink?" and went around to get our individual drinks. Not only care about who drinks coffee vs who doesn't.

Maxims was our daughter’s request for post-graduation lunch, and it was perfect!

➡️Michelle T. was such a gracious server- so friendly and helpful!

➡️ The uniqueness of the place being a train station can’t be duplicated. It is fabulous!

We love Maxims and it has become a favorite when we have out of town guests. The staff is friendly and seem to enjoy their work. The food is always delish. My daughter and I really like the Turkey Avocado BLT on Focaccia.

Tonight we had a young man named Isaiah as our server. He was SO friendly and efficient. He went above and beyond to make sure we had all we wanted and needed. Oh, and the meal was great too!

My friends and I decided to go out for dinner to catch up. Upon arriving, my friends had gotten to the restaurant a few minutes before i did, ordered drinks, and chit chatting until i arrived. I just sat down, and our waitress came over and asked if we wanted to order food. We told her we needed a few more minutes, which she seemed annoyed about. I couldn't even tell you our waitresses' name, but her whole attitude was off-putting. It was blatantly obvious that she clearly didn't want to be working. I understand the restaurant wasn't very busy, but it would have been nice not to feel so rushed.

We ordered our food, and I simply ordered: two eggs, over medium with hashbrowns and white toast - instead, I received whole grain toast instead of my white toast..

One of my other friends ordered the apple cinnamon French Toast, which she hardly ate, maybe took 3 bites. It was cold and had no flavor. It didn't look very appetizing.

The situation that really made the experience much worse was during check-out time..

I had gone up to pay for my bill (cash), with no issues. My friend who ordered the French toast goes to pay, no issues. All of a sudden, when my other friend goes to pay, she's being told that there's a missing check & our server was trying to blame us for the mishap when she was called over. When she was the one who made the mistake and printed the same check when splitting our bills. We did absolutely NOTHING wrong and to be talked down too like that, absolutely not. Extremely unprofessional along with the attitude of the staff helping the lady who worked up front. It was so ridiculous. Considering It wasn't her fault either.

Would I recommend Maxim's in Oconomowoc? Probably not. I've been to better restaurants with friendlier staff. The only nice person was the sweet lady working the register on Saturday night.

It was busy when we arrived so we had to wait a little bit, but it was less than ten minutes.
No idea what the waitress's name was because she didn't say, but the service was fairly decent.
The bloody Mary I had was the best I've had in quite some time! The biscuits & gravy was very good. It had a slightly more robust taste which was a welcome surprise. Scrambled eggs were okay. Hashbrowns were perfectly done. Warning: a side of corned beef hash is a large plateful, which was way more than anticipated, but it was good.
My wife had the country omelet, which was good size and was delicious.
Would go there again.

Burger was cooked perfectly to order but wife was not fond of the brisket skillet she ordered. Curds were well-portioned but arrived with a single serving/ extremely small cup of sauce.

Had my family in town visiting, decided we all try this place for breakfast. I enjoyed my corned beef hash, but other family members didn't like their food. That's not even what killed our experience, it was service. One of my family members pointed out our waitress seemed "off" and eyes looked dilated, so I started to pay attention. I noticed she would periodically closed her eyes for 5-10 seconds at a time walking around, and forgot a to bring drinks multiple times. Unsure of she was on something or just tired. Also, seating was very crammed, could barely walk around the table without bumping into other customers chairs.
Overall, not a good experience, mostly due to server.
