Maizie’s balances a hip, urban environment with friendly, attentive service and a mix of classic comfort food and healthful dishes. While you can try light fare such as hummus dip, basil-pesto bruschetta, salads and panini, Maizie’s also offers filling burgers, pizzas and pastas. Head there on Tuesdays for the $2.50 Taco Tuesday deal, which lands diners a taco, beans and rice. Chow down inside, or head out to the patio for some people watching.
