Maxines Bistro and Bar only at The Catalina Hotel and Beach Club

Apparently breakfast isn't the only thing Maxines in known for, their lunch menu was just as amazing. I was in the mood for a burger and decided to get a late lunch. I walked up to the hostess at Maxines and was immediately seated. Although most of the tables were taken outside and seemed live, I chose to sit inside in the air conditioning! The acoustic guitar player, hip furniture, and energetic staff made me get the chills. It was such a one of a kind, unique place to eat. The menu was big and had everything from fresh squeezed orange juice to drink, chicken parm for dinner, and even 10 to 12 different burger varieties. All the burgers seemed interesting so it was hard to make a decision. They had an Obama burger with Red tomatoes, White onions, and Blue cheese. That almost caught my appetite until I saw the Israeli burger...Hummus and pickles on a burger sounds so amazing. I finally made the decision to try the Jamaican burger because Jamaica is my favorite country! It was a huge 10 oz. burger with BBQ jerk sauce and an onion ring. It sounded mouth watering and I just couldn't wait for my order to be ready. Surprisingly, about 10 minutes later, my server brought out my burger. Each bite was filled with flavor. The BBQ jerk sauce made a tremendous difference. The fries were crispy and the side salad was just right. Everything was perfect for my lunch experience at Maxines. Great service, great vibe, great music, great energy, and again, a one of a kind experience. Looking forward to trying all of the burgers on the menu...actually everything on the menu.
