We had a blast celebrating our son’s birthday. The staff serenaded him. Nice food and so are the staff. Waiting time is fair. Overall, the place is highly recommendable. - Representing Regina 😊

I have been going to Max’s for a few years now and the food has always been consistent, staff are very friendly and attentive, and the ambience is quite upscale. If you’re looking for quality Filipino food, I’d highly recommend Max’s Restaurant for a dining option, special occasions, or catering. Max’s has catered several family gatherings and their attention to detail is high quality.
