"We dined in April 2013 - a family dinner. They have updated their menu, basically omitting several pages from their once extensive menu. Service was slow. The waiter brought me out a batch of burned sweet potato fries! I asked him if they were a little dark and he said taste it to see if you like it! We tried them and SURPRISE they tasted burned! He brought us out another batch and they were cooked well-- no black around the edges. But the rest of the meal was still bad. My son's quesadilla was made with a corn tortilla and did not fit the description on the kids menu. "We have not updated the kids menu yet." We didn't have high expectations but they didn't even meet these. Not going back."

"We were quite surprised when the waiters brought over a LARGE ice cream sundae for my Mom who was celebrating her b'day there and even better they all sang to her...made her day!!
The waitress wasn't told directly, but she picked up on the little clues that were dropped during her conversations with us and for that I can only compliment your staff on their quickness, their attention to detail and their wanting to make a 93 yr. old woman feel special. Great job!!! thank you very much"

"I've been Max's many times and this time it wasn't as expected. I arrive to check in and a waiter stopped at the host stand and said just a minute we'll have to decide where to throw you. I thought that was an odd greeting. A manager was nearby and was ignoring what was going on. Another girl then gathered menus and starting walking off towards the dining room. Not knowing if she was seating my party or not, I asked again someone nearby if we were to follow her. They said yes so we caught up with her and were seated. Our service was poor, this staff needs training! For this reason, I would no longer recommend this restaurant."
