We have been to Max's a few times. We always have a great meal. The menu has some unique items along with some standard fare. We visited on a Friday night and there was live music which was enjoyable. Service is great and drink refills come quickly. It's nice to walk in a restaurant that has an old bar/eatery vibe and knows what they are. Great atmosphere, along with great food and drinks.

I enjoyed dining here! My party arrived late. While waiting, the server was very attentive. Even after they arrived, she was attentive. At times, a little ro much. Perhaps she wa being mindful if closing time (2 hrs later), but we felt a little rushed. The food was delicious. I left my food but quickly returned to find the server had placed it on the bar. She must have known I would circle back. I look forward to dining here again soon, and having everyone on time!

Went on a Wednesday night, the place was almost empty. The service was excellent and the food was good. My wife had salmon which was excellent. I had fried flounder and shrimp. It seemed a little over cooked, but was ok. Portions were large and more than enough. Desert was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant.
