Absolutely delicious. We stopped here randomly after making a wrong turn trying to find our way back to our campground. We got wings and meatballs for an appetizer. Then a Caesar salad and margarita pizza. Everything was exceptional! My kids loved the meatballs and pizza. The cocktails were also superb. The vibe was classy and peaceful. I would definitely come back if in the area. 10/10! Two thumbs up.

Love Max’s! Our server, April, is so sweet and Ashley is a fantastic bartender. I usually don’t like Hendrick’s but the cucumber drink was tasty and perfectly refreshing. My friend and I thought we’d start with the margarita pizza but it was so big and filling that it was the perfect meal to split. Guess I’ll have to go back for the shrimp scampi! The patio was beautiful and comfortable. I can’t compare to before the rebuild but it doesn’t even matter. The “new” Max’s is a 10/10.

We visited Max’s for lunch. We were promptly greeted and sat on the porch. Our server was Tracy, and she did a fantastic job. We had pizza and cocktails which were both delicious. We will definitely go back the next time we are in the area.

I was staying across the street at the Lake Rabun Hotel and their restaurant is closed on Mondays, so I thought I would try Max’s, I wasn’t in the mood to drive to Clayton, and I’m glad I did make the short walk. I was prepared for pizza or a hoagie, but the menu has so much else. I ordered the trout and it was one of the best pieces of fish I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to Greece, Italy and Spain. It beat the trout at Buckhead Life that I had last night. Chef Cody Riley, Manager David Mason and my server Abbye Carver were exceptional and I will make this a “must dine” when I’m in the area

I went and ate lunch the service took way too long and my order had onions when I stated I was clearly allergic. The restroom had no toilet paper either!!

We stopped in for an afternoon treat on a Tuesday. Abbey was prompt and pleasant. We ordered a Cucumber Cooler, a Max’s Old Fashioned and an order of Italian Doughnuts. The drinks tasted great. I was shocked when the doughnuts arrived. I was expecting six things the size of doughnut holes, but these were huge. And they came with caramel and chocolate for dipping. Needless to say, they were delicious. Considering how good our food and service were, we’d like to stop back for lunch or dinner. The only problem is noise in the dining room. If you want a nice dinner, I suggest you sit outside.

Great service and atmosphere! Food was decent, lacked a little flavor for me, but would come back for another try when we're up camping on Lake Rabun! We had the chicken parm sandwich (what lacked the most flavor for me), as well as the garlic flatbread, which was delicious and would order that again easily! Nice people will always be a win in my book, so don't wait and come on in and join the wonderful place tucked into the mountains!

Google says it confirmed the restaurant's hours "5 weeks ago," but when we tried to go today were met with this (see photo). The restaurant's Facebook page says there was a "devastating fire" early on Aug. 30 and they are closed (although there is nothing about it on their website). They say they hope to reopen next year.

Wishing them the best.

My grandson and I love it. We’ve eaten in and had takeout. Food was fantastic. The shrimp Alfredo excellent the marinara was super with the flat bread. Pizza is really good and the service is great. Hope it opens again soon and we were devastated when we went a day after the fire to see

Parking: You can park at the pavilion if needed but the walk from the pavilion isn’t far and it’s worth the food
