About Maxwell's Bar & Grill

Maxwell's Bar & Grill is a bar and grill in Covent Garden, London, at 34 King St, built around a Taco Social menu where the tacos arrive on wooden boards. Fillings run from buttermilk fried chicken to a roasted veggie option, and the Club nachos come with a Monterey Jack cheese sauce. The drinks list centres on margaritas, including a giant caramelized pineapple version, along with spiced watermelon, spicy guava and classic, all with chilli-dusted rims. Large tables can get marg pitchers brought round, which suits groups. Beyond the tacos, the kitchen makes a plant-based burger with vegan cheese and its own vegan burger sauce, and Tuesdays bring a steak and chips deal with parmesan chips. The kitchen is open daily.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the Taco Social, with tacos on wooden boards (crispy fish, buttermilk fried chicken, crispy prawn, pulled pork pibil) and the club nachos with Monterey Jack cheese sauce drawing praise. Close behind are the margaritas, including the giant pineapple, spiced watermelon and spicy guava versions, and one reviewer mentions pitchers kept coming for a large table. Also mentioned are the meat platter with tomahawk steak, wings and ribs, a vegan burger, and a steak and chips deal with parmesan chips. Servers are described as friendly and attentive, and the portions as big. The caveats are mild: one diner found the chicken fajita and chicken burger lacked a "wow" factor, called the room loud, and noted the table turned over in under an hour, while the same party advised booking ahead. One birthday table was sung to with sparklers and given brownies.

    “Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to their MOUTHWATERING Plant-Based/Vegan Burger! They have mastered an art by creating the most delicious vegan burger! Delicious plant-based patty, vegan cheese, lettuce, tomato, and signature vegan burger sauce. The best part is, it is 100% animal cruelty free!”

    “Came here for the Taco Social Club menu and was blown away. From the moment we walked in, the staff provided top-tier service—incredibly friendly and polite. We started with the club nachos (added grilled chicken), and they were easily the best nachos I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Every topping was spot on, and that Monterey Jack cheese sauce is delicious. For the mains, I had a trio of tacos: Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Crispy Prawn, and Pulled Pork Pibil. I’d never tried a prawn taco before, but it ended up being my favorite of the night! The chicken was a close second, and even though the pork is usually my go-to, the whole selection was delicious. Drink-wise, the giant caramelized pineapple margarita is impressive (and despite the ice, the flavor stayed strong), but the spicy guava margarita was the winner for me on taste. Definitely recommend and will be back!”
