Reviews

Maxie's Delicatessen is a neighborhood institution where, just like the TV show "Cheers", everyone knows your name. While at the deli coffee reigns supreme and folks drop in at the start of the day, both places are warm and friendly where people of all walks of life enjoy relaxed conversation catching up on the latest news - from politics to home repair tips.

At Maxie's, the place where friends meet to eat, the spotlight focus is on owner Steve Robbins - the Mayor of the Deli who you can find every morning welcoming young and old to sit, have a nosh and enjoy some local color. In Stoughton, Sharon and surrounding towns, almost everyone knows Steve, and all agree that he is one of the most generous, community minded guys you will ever meet.

He loves to "work the crowd," introducing his deli patron's to one another ... and he loves New England Sinai. Steve is an avid supporter of the business community, an honorary life member of the Sinai Men's Associates, a trustee of the Sinai Foundation, and member of the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce, which recognized his leadership and community commitment by naming him their 2008 Business Person of the Year.

A people person, Steve enjoys getting together with friends, going to the theater, and sampling restaurants - where he can relax and let others do the cooking! And most of all, he enjoys spending time with his son Jared - the apple of his eye.

On March 7th, the Sinai Men's Associates are recognizing Steve as their 2010 Person of the Year. The event features a sumptuous brunch at the Lafayette House in Foxboro where once again, someone other than Steve can worry about what's doing in the kitchen. The brunch begins at 1 pm and all are welcome. The cost is $45, and to make a reservation, please call ext. 1328.

Old Style Jewish Delicatessens for non-Jews.
The Bottom Line This cuisine is not so much about taste and smell as it is about memories and good times years ago.

There are only two places in the world where you could get real Jewish delicatessen--New York and Boston. I was fortunate enough to grow up in Boston 'cuz I hate the Yankees. Boston and New York style delis have much in common, i.e., counter help with sarcastic mouths, REAL half-sour pickles and pastrami.... The only place in the entire South Shore area now that even faintly resembles those places is a restaurant in Cobb Corner in Stoughton called Maxie's. click to read full article

Thank you for having our group of 15 from State Street Corp. in Westwood in today for lunch. Everything was delicious - from the latkes, knishes, and matzo ball soup we had for starters to the various pastrami, tongue, whitefish, stuffed cabbage, and various other sandwiches we ordered.

Great Place: Maxie's is a favorite for us for breakfasts on the weekends. There lunch is quite tasty, too. The prices are right and the portions are
huge. Banana pancakes, my fav! Most of the waitresses have been there for awhile, we've watched them come and go. Watched many of them go off to college and grow-up. They're like family!

Love this place because they save me a trip into Brookline to find good deli. Really deserves 4-1/2 stars because the atmosphere is basement-like and on occasion you'll find something that's not great. Overall, though, it's very good.

Maxie's is the tri-town (Stoughton, Canton & Sharon) area deli. Loyal patrons dine here almost everyday, because the food is worth it. There is not a better sandwich money can buy for lunch. "Lean" corn beef that melts on your tongue, piled 3" high. Whatever you want, Steve will make it for you and deliver it to your table with a smile. Take-out is equally as popular and good, always with sides included. Ruebens w/kraut are fabulous. Breakfast has its regulars, too. Lox, eggs, bagels, etc., it's all here and made to order, served up hot.

Dinner is now being offered due to popular request. Where on earth can you get a complete "lean" brisket dinner for $10.95 which includes homemade soup or salad , fresh veg. potato and a heaping pile of brisket, followed with a choice of homemade bread pudding w/whipped crème or warmed, grapenut pudding. In the mood for cheesecake? That's available, too! I got the plain cheesecake with blueberries and whipped crème on the side to share with my husband. Delicious! Friday night is dinner night. Stuffed chicken breast, homemade meatloaf, brisket, it's all the same price, with weekly specials added in. There isn't a friendlier, casual place to dine in the area. Eat like a king and queen at Maxie's with personalized service putting most other places to shame.

If you want a throw back to old deli's than Maxie's is a must (we are there at least twice a week). The food is fresh and there is so much to eat you can have another meal. The best corned beef brisket, cabbage soup, and blinzes that melt in your mouth. Good service. Great Breakfasts.

A throwback in the most traditional sense

The waitresses aren't afraid to voice their opinion on current events, or at an indecisive customer, but that's all part of the charm at Maxie's. A throwback in the most traditional sense, people with personality and many years in the business work hard behind the glass counter, in the kitchen and delivering the meals. The food is what you'd expect of such a hard-working place -- lean pastrami and corn beef, unbeatable knishes, matzo soup and potato latkes, and incredible omlettes.The feeling is reminiscent of the legendary. but defunct Jack and Marion's in Brookline, Mass., where it almost seemed like any race or creed was part of the family. The atmosphere is part of that homey feel at Maxie's, as it could be mistaken as a big, overly-lit basement. Atmosphere doesn't matter in a restaurant, however, when the food is great.

Jewish soul food like your mom should have made

GREAT chopped liver, and their scrambled eggs and whatever-you-want-mixed-in is a real battery-charger!

Pros: Friendly servers, Great food, OK parking
Cons: Closes too early!, Too far from K.C.!
Overall user rating: Highly Recommended

Hi, I am planning a trip to Boston and I REALLY want to visit you!!(People are raving about you on Chowhound.com) I won't have a car and have no idea where you are in relation to where I will be staying. Do you have any idea if I can get to you by the T?
