Talkback: Maxie's Southern Comfort

(Also posted on the dining review)
My fiance and I had a birthday dinner with my mother at Maxie's last night. Let me start off by saying they have the friendliest wait staff I have ever encountered in this city. It took me aback initially, it is just so unusual to have so many happy and friendly people in a restaurant. From the people who seated us to our waitress and other people who helped us, even when we left.
Aside from the very friendly and prompt service, the food is very good. I ordered the BBQ organic tofu sandwich and my fiance ordered the pulled pork plate. My sandiwch was _huge_ and extremely well done. It was a smoked slab of tofu smothered in their BBQ sauce and topped with a tomato and coleslaw. A fine combination for any vegetarian (which I have been for six years). I could not finish my cajun fries due to the size of this sandwich. My fiance had nothing but accolades for the flavor of the pulled pork plate and she is very fond of pulled pork sandwiches. The size of her meal was also extremely large and she took the majority of it home.
Since her and I have birthdays that are very close, we were both celebrating together. Our friendly waitress asked if it was someones birthday and when I told her why we were there she let us know that dessert was on the house for us.
This complementary dessert was not some small slice of some boring cake but instead their fresh pies of our choosing. I got the banana chocolate coconut cream pie and she got the cheesecake special. Both were delicious and if they don't make those pies in-house they get them somewhere very close and very fresh.
We will most certainly go back to Maxie's very soon. The entire experience was exceptional.
-- One thing I left out of my talkback to the dining review was that the layout, design and decorations of this restaurant are all very attractive and pleasant to dine in. This is one good looking restaurant.
