Big beautiful deck in front of the lake. Always the best servers. Custom made a wrap for me and was super delicious!

Three of us, on Sunday of labor day weekend. Great waitress, food was very good and we all had something different. We plan to return when up here in Duluth.

I was dissatisfied with the experience, I use to go to the Blue Max often for dinner and drinks but I haven't been there since 2020. 8/30/2025 I decided to go and could not believe how terrible the place has become. Dirty windows and sills and unfortunately for me the outfit i was wearing was ruined by sitting on a seat that had been tapped, the tape was coming loose and the stickiness stuck to my outfits ass. The find was over cooked , waitress kept apologizing for everything being so slow. They were not even full. Not the place it used to be. The view was the only thing worth the drive.

Perfect place to grab a drink or some food. The walleye was fantastic and I will be coming back to this place any time I am back up north fishing near Duluth!

We normally have good quick service, server was a slow, perhaps new, she needs to learn to pick up the pace. In time she will. All in all, she was pleasant and food was very good!

I suggest trying their fish and chips. The price is reasonable, and they served unlimited fish fry in our dish.

Best place to spend my time! The servers and bartenders and very kind (SHOUTOUT NIKKI🔥🔥🔥) Their burgers are the best ever and they come out fast! Right on the lake too?! It’s just perfect!!!

Max burger is the best. My husband and I split it with an order of sweet potato fries and we are good

We sat down, but server after server walked right past us, ignoring the fact that we didn’t have drinks or menus. After about half an hour, we finally managed to flag someone down. Instead of bringing us menus herself, she directed another girl to do it. That girl clearly wasn’t interested in serving, as she dropped the menus on the table and quickly turned away, making us feel like we were a bother. We ordered a couple of appetizers; one was fine, but the other was mostly toppings with very few tater tots underneath. The Bloody Mary was disappointing, with an odd taste and a meat stick that was as hard as a rock. Overall, we would not recommend going here for service or food.

Waitress was attentive, but it was very obvious she didn't really want to be waiting tables. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was great we sat on deck outside by the lake.

Great food, friendly atmosphere. Fish fry is the best around the area. Reasonable prices & daily specials couldn’t be better.

I paid $40 for what looked and tasted like a frozen pizza and a bacon cheeseburger. We waited over an hour for the food and the waitress didn't check on us once the entire visit. We had to go ask anytime we needed something. It's a pretty location but terrible service and low quality food. Traveled from the Iron range after seeing some good reviews but ended up really disappointed.
