Max's of Burlingame

Excellent experience with good food and top notch, attentive and caring service. Would definitely return and the vast array of food items were amazing. The salad selections were plentiful and noteworthy.

Nicole, our waitress, was very attentive, friendly, and wanted to make sure we got what we wanted. The food was delicious too!

My sister and I shared a kale salad and maple glazed salmon. Both were EXCELLENT! The vegetables and salmon were cooked perfectly. Everything tasted fresh and the presentation was appetizing. We loved the piano player in the bar area. Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu!!!

Food was mediocre at best. No charm to restaurant. Service was very good. Went here on Easter 2024. Same experience thought I'd give it a second chance. But this is it won't bother again.

We unfortunately came on a busy night and experienced terrible service from our server. Wait times for simple items were unreasonable. 40 minutes for a child's lemonade? And his attitude sealed the deal. He acted like we were in the wrong to say anything or ask status of things. Serving sizes were also pretty small, especially for the price.

The food was good but the service was awful. Our server seemed appalled and pushed back when we asked that he split the tab 3 ways for 7 people having dinner together. It's been >20 years since I was here last, and I will never return. What a shame.

We've come here for years - the place looked shabbier this time. Our server was initially brusque but then attended to everything we needed. My veggie scramble was definitely suffering from shrinkflation. My husband thought his monte cristo should have included turkey. But overall a positive experience. You cant beat this location so close to the airport.

Great (and huge amounts) of food. My waiter recommended the Reuben with a mix of pastrami and corned beef (great call). They have a very reasonable corkage fee ($15). Mondays - live jazz/jam band. Great times!

Probably needs an upgrade but it was

Food is very hit and miss! Not always warm. I'd say lunchtime is much better. They seem to run out of things often. The beer is warm.

Just had Dinner there 10/5. . Sorry today, Iconic Max’s in Burlingame is done. The service was sub-par, waiter didn’t like his job and the interaction was obvious, not only with us but his co-worker. The Food seemed old, wife disn’t eat and we ordered potato skins that they should have been embarrassed to serve. The Paloma we ordered never arrived and we went up to the front host to pay our bill. Once there, she found out server in the back somewhere.

Thanks Max’s Burlingame for the memories.

Just happened upon this establishment. Great, friendly service. The food was delicious. Ordered the chicken melt and small Caesar. The potato salad is better than mine. What a nice surprise. Definately coming back. Don't be fooled by appearances. Could use a little love out front.
