What People Are Saying About Max's Restaurant

In Short – Slightly more upscale than its sister locations, this lively East Coast-style restaurant features banquette seating, local artwork and a soothing green and copper palette throughout both the dining room and lounge, where a singing pianist plays nightly. A handful of noshers sit at the fully stocked bar, nibbling on appetizers like popcorn shrimp and stuffed mushrooms, while groups pile into oversized booths and dig into platters of burgers, barbecued ribs and piled-high corn beef and pastrami hoagies on house-baked bread.

Great food and customer service

I have eaten at this particular Max's Bar & Restaurant a few years ago and loved the food and the great service. I was very pleased on my most recent visit (July 11, 2008) that the service and food were still great.
The restaurant including the restroom facilities were exceptionally clean. The staff was attentive, our food came out in a timely manner; just the way we ordered it and it was delicious!
- Pros: large portions
- Cons: need a larger parking lot

Very expensive food, bad service and unclean.

This place used to be one of my favorites! for years, I would go at least once a week! In the last 3 or 4 years they have just gone way down hill! I can't believe it!! The food is very expensive and generally rather tasteless (unless, I'm told, you are going for dessert only--although I wouldn't know, I am not a dessert person). The service is very slow and very rude. But the worst part is this place is absolutely filthy. More than once, I have found "foreign objects" in my food. I will not elaborate, because I don't want to be gross. And I have actually said something to the manager a few times and his response was total indifference. So really, really avoid this place. I love the piano and the entertainment, but only drink the liquor. It really didn't used to be like this.
- Pros: Good entertainment in the evening and good desserts.
- Cons: Very expensive, below average food, bad service and unclean.
