Max's Tavern provided a memorable dining experience with excellent food, attentive staff, a diverse yet easy to navigate menu, unique craft cocktails, and digestible prices. Ample parking and a simple process to get seated. I saw groups of young and old there when I dined on Saturday night. The ambiance provided for a fun setting while being able to easily converse at the table.

Double cheeseburger was delicious, table had no complaints about food. Overall a solid experience. Bar service was a bit slow considering the amount of people in the restaurant at the time.

We always have a great dinner

Well known restaurant and not cheap, which is ok as that is the type of dining it is. I found it odd they did not have enough menus even though it was only about 2/3 full on a Tuesday. I ordered the 54 dollar NY strip. The waitress returned a few minutes later to inform me they did not have any strips. It always annoys me when a restaurant runs out of a regular menu item, and it was only 6pm. Of course she recommended the more expensive aged strip. I asked if I would be charged the regular strip price since it was their issue as to not informing me before I ordered but she responded that it would be 58 dollars. Not happy with the correction, or really the lack of correction. I ordered the 56 dollars ribeye which was very good but not what I really wanted. I have been a few times over the years and it is nothing special, but very tasty. This was a gift card use and I still have money on it so I will be back to use it. Hopefully they will have the strip

Server was terrible. Barely attentive, not well trained, Food good as always. Interior tired.

There was a wedding in the back room so the restaurant was super loud and very busy so service was slow

Ordered a bowl of French onion soup it took 20 minutes to get it. It was burnt then came my filet mignon for 50 something dollars overcooked. The bartender asked me. Do you want to take the soup to go? Nothing about how was your steak? It cost me $100 for a bowl of soup and a steak which I don’t mind paying if it was worth it. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else.

It was my first time dining here, and I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and exceeded my expectations. We were outside, and the noise from traffic ranged from quiet to moderate, but it didn't affect the overall experience. The servers were excellent and patient with us. I'll definitely go back.

A group of us all from the same college get together once or twice a year at Max's tavern. It is always good to great. Cocktails, food etc. Our server was wonderful as was the food.

Group of 14. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended for your next trip to Springfield.
Sorry to say, Max's Tavern has fallen in quality, creativity, and service - all things they used to excel at. Our server was inattentive. The mixed salad was boring, the crab cakes not up to par, and the salmon was overcooked, with the sides being untasteful.

Some of best salmon and ahi tuna is served here!
The decor takes you back a few decades with red leather seating, elevated booths, and classy chandeliers. Service was excellent, too and drinks to die for.
The Norwegian Salmon was perfectly crunchy on one side and juicy, and flavorful on the inside. It was nicely paired with the seasonal veggies and salsa verde. My sushi-class tuna on the bed of cold noodles was just the right size and full of flavor, with a little bit of crunch from shredded carrots.
This was a first-class experience and we'll definitely be back!

Amazing vibe and decor, super friendly staff. Chloe (out waiter) treated us very well. Food honestly was ok, nothing out of the ordinary. But would definitely go again. We ended up staying until closing and Chloe was super polite about not “kicking us” out right away. I appreciated the thoughtfulness on her part.
