Maximo's on Broad - Restaurant in Memphis - 2617 Broad Ave, USA

It’s was a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing cocktails, wine, food, and service. For an appetizer, we enjoyed the Risotto Croquettes. And for dinner, I had the Stuffed Chicken, and my husband had the Fish Special - Pescado Maximo. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended Maximo's on Broad.

Ribeye steak with housemade truffle fries and seasonal green beans. Crab stuffed Halibut with a lobster reduction and sautéed vegetables. Lamb satay with roasted chickpeas, Brussel sprouts with candied bacon. Cointreau infused creme Brulee with drunken blackberry. Chocolate lovers mousse with dark chocolate, toasted hazelnuts over chocolate espresso cream. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I wanted to give the place more than 4 stars, but less than 5 stars - that’s no possible in the current setting, so gave it a 5 star! I have had the privilege to dine in a number of restaurants in Memphis but let me take this opportunity to say that Maximo's on Broad is a diner's delight. From the outside, the place might look like any other diner joint, but as soon as you enter the premises, you are embraced with an overwhelming gust of coziness. The quaint and dim lighting sets up the stage for a perfect and quiet date night and omg did I mention the coziness? Our hostess Lori instantly developed a connection with us as soon as we walked in by referring by our first names instead of a sir/mam (other restaurants take note!!!). Let me tell you they have an amazing collection of cocktails and for the uninspired, they also have local brews on draft. For our appetizer, we ordered the brandied shrimp from the tapas menu. The amazing texture of the dish took us by surprise with its sharp yet delicious sweet notes. For our main entree, we ordered the seafood paella and the chef's special Pescado Maximo (made with market-fresh fish of the day). The seafood paella, made with an assortment of mussels, shrimp, and scallops, is just the wholesome dish. The seafood stuff were fresh and plenty. The Pescada, on the other hand, topped with a bold lobster reduction and amazingly crispy yet soft veggies, flirts with your taste buds like an ardent lover who entices you in her stunning charms. The fish quality was absolutely top. In conclusion, I would like to reinstate that with its cozy charms and its bold flavors, this place just stands out like a proud monument on Broad Avenue.

Incredible dining experience at Maximos on Broad - I had the Artisan Salad with pine nut encrusted goat cheese (yum!) over greens with apple slices, mandarin oranges & sweet cherry tomatoes in a citrus vinaigrette and I added the most delicious salmon - what a treat! We also had the special a filet over greens with pomegranate, raspberries, green beans and spinach with a light vinaigrette. To wrap up dinner we had the rich chocolate crème brûlée (to die for!) with raspberries on top and home made ice cream (super delicious) and creamy. The staff were friendly and atmosphere was nice. I can highly recommend this fantastic restaurant.

We shared 4 small plates that were all excellent. We especially loved the polenta crab cakes, so airy and yummy! The gin and elderflower cocktail was a great surprise, but the best of all was the chocolate creme brule!!

This place is an awesome find. Lori is a beautiful hostess made us feel at home. Omg if you must eat paella you have to get it here. My husband enjoyed his birthday dinner and gave kudos to the bartender, he loved the old broad. Will definitely be back to try Sunday brunch.

Love this place. The Brussel sprouts and prosciutto panini are out of this world.

We were looking for a different place to eat, and so glad we ventured out a bit. Quiet and quaint dining experience. A bit dim with regards to lighting, only an issue because my husband and I need readers. The food and drinks were fabulous! Tapas menu is lovely. We will be back again!
