Cold rainy day in Burlingame, so went to a local spot close to the hotel. What a great place! Server Freddie was awesome, great sense of humor and spunk. Food was terrific, we just had Happy Hour specials but DELICIOUS! Highly recommend the calamari and fish tacos! Next time we are in town, Max's is a must! Thank you!

Guy the best place to stop and get your happy hour on. Look at this, I know it's not your bumping place your us to. Give it the old school try. Good place for the money. Where can you get food and drinks for under $35.00 in the Bay Area.

Pastrami combo was incredible, fries were excellent and crispy, waitress have excellent service, but the in the men's restroom, there was a stall that had feces everywhere--that's why I only gave them one star for atmosphere.

My family and I are from out of town and decided to try Max's of Burlingame based on the reviews. Unfortunately, our experience will be the first and last time we will ever go back. The waitress was extremely rude the moment we walked in and sat us down. Not once did we ever get a greeting, but just a "For how many?". At one point, we kindly asked if we could get a replacement of the same soda because it had no flavor and all we tasted was carbonation, and I just got a, "Why don't you just pick another drink?" with annoyance. Also, when we asked for an extra to-go box, it was not handed to us but tossed on the table with attitude. The food was bland and had no flavor. I ordered the salmon, which was way overcooked; the Jambalaya Fettuccine had chicken in it that tasted like dish soap, and the ribs were burnt. I do not understand the problem because my family was never rude but respectful the whole time. Not once when we said please and thank you we never received a reply of "you're welcome," "no problem," no type of acknowledgment at all. Being a waitress can be a stressful and demanding job, but no matter how much someone does not like their job, does not want to be there, is having a bad day, or even going through something personal, it DOES NOT provide an excuse to treat your customers wrongly. Unfortunately, I am giving a one-star rating all around because the experience was horrible from beginning to end.

It's okay, the interior is dated and the lighting not so great. The food is nothing earth shattering but it's edible. The chicken pot pie was a little soupy and the meatloaf was average and not very hot. Good cheesecake.

We just wanted dessert and coffee. 5 of us could have shared 2 items but we got: carrot cake, lemon cake, coconut macaroon, brownie a la mode along with coffee and tea. The cakes are sweet, we tend to like less sweet but it went well with coffee. I wish they came around to replenish the coffee. My friend's cake was a tad cold for him so he requested they microwave it. Coffee was pretty good.

Ok, here's the deal, my wife and I thought this was the Filipino "Max's" restaurant. We went inside and realized it was not the Filipino Max's. The sign is almost identical. LOL.We wanted to support the business, so we figured we would try the Danish Bakery. OMG, it was excellent. We tried the walnut Rugelach and the Fudge Brownie.We will definitely make a trip back for their Bakery and try their Dinner Menu.
