Houston PressAugust 4, 2014Max's Wine Dive owes its name to the combination of a terrific Texas "dive" menu with chili dogs & mussels steamed in Lone Star beer, & an innovative wine list that's ahead of the rest of the city. Read more
Their french toast has to be some of the best french toast I've ever had! The batter is so sweet, you don't even need syrup! Oh, and the fried chicken definitely lived up to the hype!
Travis NicoletteMay 10, 2015Fried Egg Sandwich was huge and delicious!! Creme Brûlée French Toast excellent too! Add a wing to your meal! Recommend reservation for brunch. We will be back!!
Local Houston MagazineMarch 4, 2013Their Elote Loco is our favorite. Buttery corn kernels are layered with Valentina aioli, cotija cheese, chili powder and lime juice in a glass. You will see corn in a whole new light. Read more
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Refreshingly free of wine-bar pretense, Max's serves top-notch vino with a side of country music and comfort food. Pair a Purple Angel with Gruyere grilled cheese. Read more
Allen ArcadeOctober 26, 2012Don't get me wrong, the chicken everyone talks about is solid/legit. It was fresh and juicy. But this dish is vastly overrated and typical. Want yummy? Try Pollo Campero right across the street.
Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014At Max's Wine Dive, the chicken requires a 36-hour buttermilk marinade that helps tenderize the bird. But, in this case, the marinade doesn't stop at just buttermilk.

There isn't a bad dish here. Menu changes with the season. Winter brought oxtail ravioli and bone marrow pate. Service is great. Attentive and knowledgeable. Single chicas like have girls nite here.
EaterMay 23, 2012Fried chicken, fancy hot dogs, comfort food done in a way your mom never did - all paired with wines. [Eater 38 Member]
Clifton MSeptember 24, 2018Salmon plate w/ a nice (15% off special BTG) Sancere. Never disappoints - food, wine & service.
Deena SellersApril 20, 2014The Eggs MAX are to die for at brunch - collard greens were the best part. Ask for Josh and he will treat you like family :-)- TeresaMay 22, 2013The MAX and cheese with truffle cream sauce is fantastic. The banana bread pudding and ice cream was even better! Great $6 happy hour deals.
Rachel MatthewsSeptember 29, 2013The creme brûlée French toast and chicken fried ribeye are out of this world delicious.
IAHGVA SGRAugust 24, 2013Disregard the lying hostess and insist on a table you prefer if she sends you to the back or close to the restrooms, she is unprofessional but the fried chicken is excellent.
Carlais PylesAugust 25, 2014Great jalapeno buttermilk fried chicken, dessert malbec & collard greens
Judy NguyenAugust 7, 2014Good food, but was really disappointed with the server and manager. I had asked them to save my payment on file so the bill could be taken care of in advance, but apparently it was forgotten about.
Sit at the bar to get great wine recommendations and see all of the fabulous food pass by: fried egg sandwich, fried chicken, wagyu burger or "haute" dog, duck taquitos - can't go wrong here !
Lindsey GeorgeFebruary 10, 2010All I have to say is Brunch! The Fried Egg Sandwich, OMG! I don't even like fried foods especially not eggs, but i have to say this is the best sandwich I have ever had in my life! (1 can feed 2 ppl) Read more
This place is amazing. Love the smothered fried lobster.
- Sit at the bar - the servers are generous with tastings and you get to see all of the delicious dished pass by
CultureMap HoustonJuly 14, 2011A favorite weekend brunch spot, must haves include the red velvet pancakes, chicken fried ribeye and eggs and the creme brulee french toast.

Yasmine HarrisonApril 4, 2016I love the atmosphere. I had the burger and it was pretty good but overpriced for just pretty good. The service was okay. The wine was excellent. Maybe I'll be back.
Rajat RoyJuly 22, 2014While the Mac and cheese was fantastic, the chicken and fish and chips were truly sub par. It is way overpriced for what it is. I will admit it has a decent wine selection. Service was good tho!
Melissa McKeeJanuary 31, 2016Chicken fried lobster, fried egg sandwich, you really can't go wrong here.
- Frances St. CyrAugust 19, 2012Honestly, the red velvet pancakes were okay. But the creme brûlée French toast was amazing. And the fried chicken.
- Houston PressJuly 2, 2013Brunch: Friday & Saturday 1am-3pm, Sunday 9am-3pm. In the mood for eggs? Try the fried egg sandwich!

Ashley EApril 23, 2012Good Eats on Washington.....Fried Chicken, Mac N Cheese, Greens..... # Tha Truth
Lisa FSeptember 4, 2011Fried egg sandwich . . . to die for! Best washed down with at least one mimosa.
Kristina BralyDecember 18, 2011Their Eggs Max left a lot to be desired, but the creme brûlée French toast is to die for!
FaridaMarch 12, 2014Grilled cheese is terrible. I was expecting a hot buttery cheesy sandwich which it was not. Mediocre mild shredded cheese And the lukewarm Campbell's tomato soup is terrible too. Ridiculous "gourmet".
