No longer atheist. Let me explain. While at the Springs, I was looking for food in a different area far from home. Found this Jamaican Spot nearby that looked really good. Looked like an actual house turned into a restaurant. I drive through the hood to be greeted by a private parking lot with some nice cars parked, which is the best sign that something about this establishment is worth coming for. I go inside to be greeted by the most wholesome and lovely lady whom I assume is the owner. I obviously look and act a little bit different than most people but she treated me with love as if I'm a nephew. Then I eat outside ( the day went from shitty to beautiful so I HAD to ) and they were playing Z88.3 through the speakers. Put yourself in my shoes for a second. Enjoying Amazing food outside that you never had before while listening to good vibes Jesus music. Man, this place is different. 10/10. Pure euphoria today. read more

Something about that jerk sauce wasn't exactly right. It didn't taste like normal jerk sauce. I read in the comments as someone said it's a mix of some kind of tomato sauce and something else. But I will certainly say that I was in a neighborhood and want to try it out after driving by this place so many times. But to be honest as a native Jamaican, I've had so many better Caribbean spots I've experienced in my life that a lot better than this. Some parts of the ribs were very fatty and the flavor overall was just bland. I wouldn't come back here again because the food was so basic. read more

Tried this place out on a Saturday Afternoon. I waited in the car while my brother went inside to order. The food was served hot and he came back out in less than 10 minutes. Upon opening the tray I could tell that the food was fresh and it did look delicious but I was disappointed with the sweet bbq sauce. It was too sweet; it overpowered the spicy jerk seasoning (that's what we went for) The cabbage was bland and just tasted like steamed cabbage... nothing special there and sadly the rice and peas was the same. It could use a little salt. I would try other food from here but I would deff skip the sweet bbq sauce on the jerk chicken. read more

So far tho is the only Jamaica restaurant I like in this area. The location is very small, only a few tables and you'll have to order with the owner who sits behind a window. My favorite thing to order is the large jerk chicken which is about $15. It comes with rice and peas, plantains, cabbage and of course the chicken. The chicken is very tender and fresh. Grilled really well and I really like the sauce on the chicken. Rice is fluffy and cabbage is pretty basic. Will always come back when I'm on this side of town . read more

Dry happy to have supported a black owned local business. The customer service was great. The owner tok our orders and prepared them. The space is small inside, not big enough to eat in. But there is plenty of outside dining space. We had the oxtail, jerk chicken, golden fried chicken, and brown stew chicken dinners. As well as a beef and chicken pattie. All of the food was super fresh. The best plate that we had was the jerk chicken. The oxtail and brown stew chicken tasted more southern than authentic Jamaican. Overall the food was ok, it just wasn't what we expected from an authentic Jamaican spot. We will go back for they patties. They were delicious! read more

Gone down hill. Ordered jerk pork 1) almost half of it was fat and ended up in the garbage. 2) Their jerk sauce is tomato sauce. Never get it on your food. Ask for it on the side 3) There's a sign inside not to eat at the tables. Ok, so I was waiting for food to be prepared and sat at the table to eat one of their patties until the food was ready. The older gentlemen came out and started speaking in tongues at me like he was telling me off. Strange and crazy. Shame because the food was delicious. read more

Ordered on DoorDash, saw that this place has 4.5 stars and that had me sold. And I absolutely love eating Jamaican food! Unfortunately, I'm disappointed. The rice and peas didn't have any flavor at the very least it had salt flavor :/ the Mac and cheese had no cheese sauce it was watery. Barely taste like cheese. Taste like you were eating plain pasta. Boxed Mac is better than this. The oxtail barely had any flavor. I'm not sure how it has 4.5 stars because this is my first time having a not so good experience from a Jamaican restaurant. read more

Fat man made a late lunch visit. What a great experience. I'm so impressed. Father and son are working this day. The son was a delight to chat with. I was offered a sample of the jerk chicken. Let me just say... WOW! I ordered jerk ribs and curried goat. Those are two separate orders. Please review line 1 if you are wondering. I'm considering pitching a tent in the yard. My goodness. Flavor is stunning. I loved every mouthful. I'll keep this simple. Fat man will be back! Before you complain. I never give out five stars. Four is exceptional. read more

Good Jamaican food, but the curry goat was a bit tough. This is the 2nd time I've experienced this. I would return if I didn't have many other options. The seasoning was ok as well. read more

A friend recommend Max and Me, and I must say I truly enjoyed the food. I had rice and peas with the jerk chicken, paired with sweet plantain and cabbage. It was soo good, full of flavor!! I'll be back to try other options soon! read more

Cute little place and a friendly lady at the counter. Portion sizes are great for the price. However, the jerk chicken tasted more like BBQ chicken. It was slattered in what looked like BBQ sauce. I could hardly taste the jerk seasonings. Very disappointed. But I will return to try something different and see if I have a better experience. read more

I'm giving this a three because the owner was very nice however the food did not seem authentic. I was weary about getting jerk chicken because I saw many mixed reviews,so I started off with fried dumpling and red pea soup. The dumpling was great, but the soup was Not traditional red pea soup at all and yes I am Jamaican. Based off of the red pea soup I would not try any other dishes read more

I Love Max and Me! We have been a happy patron since 2016 and it just keeps getting better and better! I just enjoyed the Oxtail tonight for dinner and it was incredible! This is the best in my opinion! Wanna support a local eatery this is it! You won't be sorry and your belly and family will thank you for it! read more

No disrespect, I stopped here excited to see a Jamaican restaurant on my way home one day. I order curry chicken. I honestly could have done a better job with my eyes closed. I was greatly disappointed. Still trying to find good Carribean restaurant in Orlando. Definitely won't be visiting Max & Me again.. read more

Very sweet family. They gave us a sample because we told them it was our first time trying them out since we just moved to the area. Curry chicken was great. My husband loved his oxtails. The second time we went, the plantains weren't as good but I'm sure it'll be great again the next time we go. We've only been in Florida two weeks and we've been twice and will be back plenty more times! read more

Great spot. Smoke coming out the top drew us in. Smelled good inside. Curry chicken was our favorite. Nice lunch spot. Can't wait to try their oxtail. read more

If you're looking for great authentic Jamaican food, look no further. It's worth the trip. The oxtails, curry chicken, brown stew, and jerk ribs pork and chicken reminds me of my uncle's cooking who lives in Port Antonio, Jamaica. The flavors took me right back home. You won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent food. Reminds me of my trip to Jamaica. Can't wait to go back to Max & Me when I'm in town!!

If you are in Apopka and you don't stop to enjoy this hidden treasure then you missed out. There are not that many places that you can go and they make you feel like family but this is one of them. The owners are kind and caring people and it shows in their food as well. I believe I have eaten everything on their menu and every bit is delicious! I own a business not far from them and I send my customers their way for lunch and when they get back I hear about how amazing everything is for the next hour. Do yourself a favor and stop by, and be sure to tell them that the guys over at Southern Cycles sent you. ENJOY! read more

I loooooove Jamacian food! This place has the BEST red snapper I've ever had! SOOOOO much flavor

The best Caribbean food I have been able to find in the Orlando area! I ordered a small curry chicken plate, which came with rice and peas, plaintain, and cabbage. The small was more than enough food for me (it was so good I ate the whole thing anyway), and a large could possibly feed two people. The chicken was very tender and flavorful; the rice, peas and plaintain were all delicious, freshly made and not dried out like I've had at other places. The owners are very sweet and kind. I highly suggest you cone out and support them. I'll be back to try out the rest of their menu. read more

It's a nice little family touch restaurant which provides for little nic n nac food. Ideal for a grub.

Delicious! We saw great reviews and gave it a try. It was worth going out of the way for the wonderful jerk chicken. Also loved the plantains and cabbage. Besides tasty food, the people were so friendly. We will return. read more

Authentic Jamaican food! Delicious! It's a very friendly place with flavorful food. If you love small, authentic places, you'll love this place! Very small inside (two tables), but several tables outside. We ate outside during lunch and there was a nice breeze that kept us cool. If I lived here, this would be a regular place for me to eat!! read more

Awesome and delicious home-cooked Jamaican food in this establishment run by a couple. Very simple down to earth people making some finger-licking jerk, curry and baked beef patties. Very reasonable prices and personal service! I wouldn't miss it if you're in the neighborhood or are looking for genuine Jamaican food read more

The price of the food is around the average Jamaican restaurant. The quality on the other hand isn't the best. Their food has potential but they need to work it. They did not season their cabbage at all. It was steamed with no salt or any sort of flavor. That needs to be changed. The curry chicken, on the other hand was good but definitely could have done with some pepper! Scotch bonnet, anything. The fried chicken needed seasoning salt or just help in general. It lacked texture flavor and the way it was cut caused the bone to splinter in the meat. The rice and peas needed some thyme, onion, pepper and just everything to fix it. read more
