Cafe Max

A visit to Culver would not be complete without a meal at Cafe Max. The environment is nostalgic and interesting, and i always find something new on the walls that i had not noticed before. The service is friendly and fast, even when the restaurant is packed with people. The food is delicious, consistent and delightfully unhealthy. It is always a pleasure to come back to Cafe Max.

I went with a large party and were seated quickly. Kudos to the server, local utility company was working on power lines and knocked out the power for a bit for the non-kitchen side and the computers were out. We came close to closing so we all thought we would have to order pizza. She took our orders by hand! I can only speak of the fried chicken and mac and cheese. Both were excellent. The fried chicken has to be in my top 5 if not top 3 of all restaurant fried chicken I've eaten. The crunch was spot on, and the taste was delicious! You get the breast, thigh, wing and leg! The mac and cheese was served in a little cast iron skillet. It was good, but nothing special. When I say nothing special, I mean like it didn't have any other little 'add-on's' like I've had elsewhere like bacon or other tasty things. But for homemade, it was good. The owner also came out and we met her dog. I was glad she greeted us. If I didn't tell her about how the server helped saved our dinner, I hope she can read it now! We all came in from separate places that took hours to drive, and we did not want to get bar food or pizza. Thank you!

We had a party of 7 and they were very accommodating. They offered boosters for the 4 & 5 year old, but they were able to reach the table just fine. They were given coloring sheets and crayons. I had a veggie omelet, the kids had grilled cheese and pancakes, my husband had Sinful French Toast, one had the country sampler, one ordered the Eggs Benedict, and one ordered the club sandwich. Everything was cooked to perfection, they remembered no cheese in my omelet. The staff was super friendly. Everyone really liked the Home Baked Wheat Bread. And my niece exclaimed: It was so good I ate it all! (She ate her grilled cheese and started on her sister’s pancakes.)
