maxwell's on main is a neat restaurant done up in my favorite style. they have wood floors, exposed brick walls with dark wainscoting, and tin ceilings. there are two bars that i saw, one was on the ground floor and the second one upstairs with another dining area. the place has a feel of an old british public house mixed with that warm and inviting pennsylvania colonial style. i saw this place the last time we went through town and put it on the short list. we stopped for lunch at two on a saturday afternoon and while there were quite a few people there, we were seated right away. they have a rather extensive craft beer selection, but since i was in the midst of a long drive home i passed and went with water. good cold water that they kept topping off for me. after looking over the menus we decided to go with burgers. mine was the spicy moms burger with jalapeño cheese, fried jalapeños, and a side of sweet potato fries at eleven bucks. i ordered it medium and that is what i got, a perfect medium. it was quite deliscious. teresa went with the special of the day which had hummus on it for eleven bucks as well. she opted for the salad. she said it was good, but just a tad less than the medium-well she'd ordered. she ate it all though, but we'll keep this in mind when ordering next time. overall, a really nice friendly place with quaint ambiance and excellent food at reasonable prices. we'll be back. posted by chris forman at 7:30 pm
