I've been to many Max's especially the Stanford mall one at the time but this place here felt really good, spacious and very friendly and enjoyable staff. That is before we even get to the food. I enjoyed my lunch tremendously and will be back again!
Pot pie was great, but seeing a woman with disgustingly long hair that comes down her back working in and out the kitchen turned me away from this place for good. Where are the hygiene practices here? Long hair flying around food being made and this woman used her bare hands to our sprinkles on someone’s ice cream Sunday? Hair should be tied back and secured in food prep environments and anything that isn’t cooked should required food handling gloves to be used. Never once...
We had soup, wedge salad and a hamburger. All was good. Our server was having a bad day. Atmosphere was comfortable. Loved our piano player/ singer. Over all I would stop in there again when coming to San Francisco.
