“ First time here. The pizzas were amazing. I had their meat and my wife ordered their veggies with the red sauce. For dessert we both had their homemade cannoli and they were excellent. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Was nice to have the manager check in with us. ”
“ My wife and I had a wonderful dinner tonight with great friends. While returning home my wife realized she lost a ring that she was wearing. The ring is a family heirloom over 75 years old. We called Max's to see if they could locate it at the restaurant. Within 5 minutes they called to say they found it. I can't put in words what their actions have meant. Wonderful staff, wonderful, wonderful food. We are so happy Max's made it back from their terrible fire! Thanks to all. ”
“ This is a unique place. There are individual swing seats around the bar. On Friday night they serve only paella. It had a mix of chicken, shrimp and chorizo. It was all cooked in a large paella pan outside near the bar. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. My wife enjoyed a frozen Margarita and I enjoyed a Bloody Mary. ”
“ My wife and I visited here from out of town not expecting much but we were blown away. The service was attentive and polite. The food was hot, quick, plentiful and very tasty. We went for lunch and it wasn't too crowded. The spinach artichoke dip was the bomb. They gave us 8 Italian donuts and they were so huge we took 4 home! Plus they were only $9. The food overall was priced very fairly. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ Great experience. Food and service were awesome. We had pizza and Caprese salad and tiramisu. ”
“ 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. ”
