Welcome to Max's Wine Dive, where updated comfort food meets worldly wines in a vibrant, industrial-chic space—perfect for late-night fried chicken and brunch with a twist.
"The Southern fried chicken dinner is why you go to Max’s. The dive bar offers a pricier chicken (a three-piece for $24), but it’s worth it. The balance between the crunch of the jalapeño-buttermilk fried drumstick skin and the spicy sweetness of the chipotle honey sauce is perfect. Open until midnight on the weekends, this Washington Avenue spot is a perfect choice for late-night comfort food. Or grab your friends for brunch, when Max's throws fried chicken tenders on top of a belgian waffle. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Max serves up its fried chicken in several ways, including a gluten-free option, making sure those with diet restrictions don’t miss out. Main events include the three-piece meal served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and Texas toast with your choice of chipotle honey or hot sauce for $24; the spicy H-Town Hot-style chicken that’s dipped in hot cayenne butter; and the hot chicken sandwich, which is topped with kale slaw and lemon aioli. Craving breakfast? Go for the jalapeño-buttermilk marinated chicken tenders with a Belgian-style waffle, or the honey butter chicken benedict, with a poached egg atop a flaky biscuit with sausage gravy." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Pairing Comfort Food with Wine + Champagne Max's Wine Dive asks, "Champagne and fried chicken? Why the hell not?!" which pretty much sums up their concept of pairing comfort foods with wine or champagne. This place gets packed at peak hours, yet the waiters stay attentive and friendly. If you want to experience Texas's "classy comfort food movement," Max's is a great place to do it."
