    Pasta salad and chicken
    Andi R.

    We loooove Cafe Max. The staff is always so friendly and kind. I love how when their restaurant part isn't open they have a separate area to just order food and go. Their food and portions never disappoint. My 3 year old requested the Caesar and fruit and he looooved it! My husband and I always get the chicken and pasta. It tastes SO good together and you would never expect apples and pecans to go with chicken but omg. My favorite. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is for the to go container..it was so flimsy the food fell in the bag hence the messy look in the picture with the salad trio. But I so appreciate how much food she gave because it became 2-3 meals easily. Will be back as always!

    Mom and pop shop. Very big portion. Good taste overall. Wish the staff was a little nicer. Weird odor in the air but the food is solid. Good option for lunch.

    Always consistently delicious. The food is fresh and they provide huge portions that are shareable. The service is friendly and quick. I've only eaten inside once but the restaurant is nice, clean and spacious.

    Favorite lunch spot. The staff is friendly and the servings are generous. I got the salad trio, and can seriously eat off it for three meals. My favorites are the seafood salad and Caesar salad. Highly recommend!

    If you like salad...more salad than you can possibly eat...and you haven't been here, your life is incomplete. I was originally introduced to Cafe Max many years ago when I worked in Richardson. If there are better salads anywhere, I haven't had them. I don't know anyone who has ever been here who says that someone else has a better version. The salads are that good. It's takeout only, and the hours are limited. So go now and go hungry. You're welcome!

    The food is as good as always. And there's no chain restaurant that does what they do.

I'd say my total time waiting to order was 5 minutes and my total time waiting for food was 10, even with how crowded it was. I ordered the White Chicken Parmesan. I've never had gluten free pasta before this and there was no strange taste or texture. The sauce was bright and very lemony. I will say the pasta was in oddly short pieces so don't expect to twirl your noodles on your fork! The chicken was well cooked and seasoned with a nice crust. The raw tomato addition didn't do too much for me but I didn't mind it overall. The soda fountain is an adorable tap that boasted drinks like cola, sparkling lemonade, cream soda, root beer and more. I'm not usually a fan of off brand cola but this one was great, if not a little watery for my taste. My pasta dish overall was $15.50, which was a great price for the amount I received. The plate was large and easily more than one portion. This is definitely one of the best "health food" places I've been to. Will definitely be back!

The croquettes were delicious and juicy, complemented by a crusted parmesan shell. For entrees, I got the seared ahi salad, and others in my group opted for rice pilaf with salmon, seared ahi sandwich, and the burger. All the ingredients in my salad tasted fresh and the ahi tuna cubes were tender and generously cut. Everyone was pleased with their dishes and we will likely return in the future!

Highly recommend the French dip sandwich - it was delicious! The steak salad was cooked perfectly, and the spinach dip was solid. The highlight of the meal was DEFINITELY the Pistachio Tres Leches! One of the best (if not the best) tres leches I've had! Overall, a great spot for date night, catching up with friends, or to work remotely. Only reason for 4 stars is that a few dishes, while good, didn't completely wow compared to the standout items. Still, I will 100% come back especially for the tres leches!

Tons and tons of records, record players, and concert posters from the 1970s lined the entrance hallway leading to the spacious bar and dining area. The bar service was attentive and efficient. Friendly and professional. We started with the Crab Rangoon dip. This was delicious, and it made you work for it. Be careful scooping it up initially with the wonton chips - it is hot and runny, but so worth the effort. For our main, we spilt half a fried chicken. We don't even eat fried chicken, but damn, this was a revelation. Every bite was hot, crispy, and juicy. The skin was perfectly done - crunchy and not greasy at all. For my death row meal, I say I would always request one of my mom's recipes, but this fried chicken made me seriously reconsider. It's that good. After your chicken experience, the staff will bring you hot towels for a fancy clean up. We can't wait to come back to this classy yet relaxed spot.
