BEST CAJUN/CREOLE RESTAURANT
Maxie’s Southern Comfort
Maxie’s Southern Comfort
6732 W. Fairview Ave.
292-3969
The term “Southern” says it all about this place.
Preparations tend to focus on Louisiana, but there also are hints of the
Carolinas on this diverse menu. Setting the mood is an appetizer of fried green
tomatoes with a thin coating of batter, served with a remoulade sauce for
dipping. The surprise hit is the “RWB” (red, white and blue) slaw. The red and
white are the colors of the cabbage while the blue is the cheese (though it
isn’t visible in the vinegar marinade, it immediately makes its presence
known). It’s a novel and tasty presentation, as are most items on the menu.
