Our group went to Maxine's on Main because their website siad they use fresh, in-house prepared food and local produce. We could not find a single example of this; the onion rings were clearly out of the freezer, the green beans from a can, the sweet potato fries were crinkle-cut, and the mac-and-cheese - if it was homemade, they used a can of cheese sauce to make it. The iceberg lettuce and squishy pink tomato were typical restaurant-supply fare, which is a shame because the Bastrop Farmers Market just down the road is featuring great tomatoes now.\r

The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't good, and certainly not as advertised. \r

The Friday night music was good, and the area is great. It was hard to appreciate all that in the disappointment over the difference between the food quality that was promised vs. what was delivered.
