Max's Restaurant & Bar

Subpar food. Mediocre service. We were a group of 6 and I swear it annoyed the server we were coming to eat. We were very respectful and were celebrating 2 birthdays. I'm a server myself so I tend to give a break where a break is due... however from bland boring food. To a server who was annoyed we were eating. Would not recommend again. Just go to innout and save yourself the time.

Food was great and service was too, once they realized I was there. Super busy when I went which was apparently unexpected. During my long wait at the table, I saw plenty of items needing some tlc. The condiment basket had several bottles with grime and caps that for sure needed cleaning. The paper menu and drink list had obviously been around a while, had pen marks and spills on them. The window sills had full collections of dust and dead flies. All of that made me question my life choices, but I was also too invested time-wise to turn back. Attention at Max’s is definitely paid to food. Should also be paid to cleanliness.

I was there at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and I was seated right away. However it took about 10 minutes for a server to come over and present us with menus. I did ask for water immediately. After that the bartender came over and asked if we were ready to order yet. We ordered the calamari which I recommend it was very good but it took it over 20 minutes to come out. The restaurant only had a handful of people in it. My friend had asked for Arnold Palmer and after waiting 20 minutes for it to come we asked about it and finally the bartender came over and said oh I'm so sorry, We are out of lemonade. OK so he had tea. We ordered our regular food, And again it still took another 25 minutes to come out! Way too long for a lunch. Considering the restaurant was not busy at all and some of the servers were over folding napkins and silverware to set on tables and just trying to busy themselves at a slow time I found it very disappointing because we should have been in-and-out in an hour instead it took over an hour and a 1/2. The food was very good. Restrooms are clean.

Looking for a Happy Hour spot or a restaurant to enjoy a delicious salad? Max's Restaurant and Bar boast of having "everything you've always wanted to eat". They have a high-quality menu with fresh ingredients. The Cobb salad was generously portioned and prepared to perfection. Happy Hour is Monday-Friday from 3 to 6pm and Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 5 pm. The beer and wine selection is local and they have a full service bar. I would recommend the restaurant have live music on the patio. It would being in customers and they would stay longer. This would be a great Happy Hour date spot. Either sit on the patio for some privacy or find a cozy spot in the bar area. IG: SACRAMENTOHONEY

This was a great reasonably priced place which was centrally located for 9 family members getting together for a Sunday holiday lunch. Several tables were put together, not too close to many other people – the various angles in the ceiling and adequate soft surfaces provided very good acoustics (allowing people to hear all conversations) – okay maybe there was one 93 year-old who said “What?” a lot. We arrived at noon and were given the choice of some breakfast/brunch items and a complete menu of normal meals. Our group mostly went for sandwiches, or half sandwiches and soup or salad. Nobody had a problem finding something of interest, but I don’t think we are too picky of a group. My Veggie Burger was very good and really quite spicy. I heard a couple of comments about things being a bit too salty, but I think that is somewhat the nature of the beast. Everyone said they were satisfied with their meal. The service was very good. There is a lot of accessible parking.
