Maxine's on Shine: Is the passionate vision of the eclectic couple, Kirt & Maxine Earhart. Led by the heart, the entire Maxine's family exudes an effort to enthusiastically elevate the experience of engaging others in a enlightening & entertaining epicurean environment. A safe sexy comfortable and delicious vibe is offered to all. While we love children, our restaurant is not recommended for infants and children under 10. Savoring the flavor of date night or quality time with adults is best suited for enjoying our restaurant. Maxine's on Shine is a place "where good attitudes are welcomed, great attitudes are rewarded, and bad attitudes are changed."

American Neighborhood Cuisine w/ Full Bar: The culinary team is led by Dining Hall of Fame Chef and Local Legend, George Vogelbacher. Our menu is small, diverse, and created in house. Pasta, Seafood, Steak, Seasonal Selections, and Desserts are the core. The beverage program is guided by Kirt "The Juice Pimp" Earhart.
