Excellent service. Extremely high beer prices. $6 for a bottled Bud Light. Absolutely no draft beers. What??? I had to have my kind waitress repeat herself. Surely I misunderstood her. "I'm so sorry, what beers do you have on draft? NO BEERS ON DRAFT?!?" And $6 for a bottle of Bud Light!? Oh no no no. read more

Max's Grille - My good friend and my overpriced beer - New American Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

So we ended up at this restaurant after learning our first choice didn't open until 4:30 pm. We were walking in the plaza trying to figure out where to eat and everyone's table that we passed at this establishment, their food looked amazing. We needed up asking to see a menu (which they had printed on sheets of paper, one menu per customer very covid friendly). Long story short we picked this place. We ordered the seared tuna as a starter and it was some of the freshest tuna I ever had. We were all satisfied with our drinks and dishes. Which were: chicken sandwich w/ sweet potato fries, crab crusted mahi, grilled burger with blue cheese and fries and kids Mac and cheese with fries. Everyone was very satisfied. The drinks were also very good. Pricy but good. The total bill shocked us a bit but we were in Boca lol. All in all great restaurant, the greeters were nice and our server was amazing. I def. recommend this place if you are not on a strict budget haha. read more

On Saturday I went with my girlfriend and her mother to Max's Grille for lunch. I have been there in the past and I always remembered them as having very fresh food. When we arrived we were greeted by the hostess and asked if we wanted to be seated inside or outside. We asked for outside and they seated us in a very nice booth. Even though it was hot outside, there was plenty of shade and Max's had fans blowing so we were very comfortable. Our friendly waiter came over to our table, introduced himself, brought us menus and then said he would return shortly for our drink orders. After a few minutes, the waiter came back. We were ready so we ordered our food and drinks at the same time. We ordered the spinach dip appetizer to start with. I ordered the chicken burger while my girlfriend ordered the vegetarian spaghetti and meatballs while her mother got the Max's chopped salad. The spinach dip came out first. It cost $13 and was cheesy and creamy and tasted great. Eventually, our entrees came out. The chicken burger I ordered was $15 and came with a side of sweet potato fries. It was small and bland and had no real flavor. It didn't seem to be seasoned at all. In fact, this appeared to be just a breast of chicken that was quickly grilled. Chicken burgers are supposed to be ground up chicken meat and then seasoned. I have had some very good chicken and turkey burgers at other places but this was not one of them. In fact, it tasted very similar to a chicken "sandwich" you can order at McDonald's except a lot more expensive (honestly, the McDonald's ones have more flavor). The sweet potato fries were good but it would be nice to have some choice on the side. My girlfriend's vegetarian spaghetti and meatballs consisted of quinoa-eggplant "meatballs", spaghetti squash, calabrian chilies, broccoli florets, vegan mozzarella, fresh basil and san marzano tomato sauce. It was okay but I think charging $19 for a vegetarian meal like this is pretty expensive. I suspect if you added up the price of all of the ingredients, you're paying quite a markup. Finally, the mother's Max's cobb salad looked good and consisted of asiago cheese, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, carrots, chickpeas, corn, red wine vinaigrette. I tried a little. It was fine but nothing special. It's the same salad you can get at a million other restaurants. It was a little on the pricey side at $12. Overall, the setting and service were a solid 4 stars. We had a nice booth outside and a good waiter. However, the food (particularly my chicken burger) was only very average. If you combine that with the relatively high prices (I know it's Mizner but price still factors in), I can't give the food more than 3 stars. If I could give half stars, I would give Max's a 3.5 star overall rating. However, since I can't and I don't think they are a 4 star restaurant, I am giving them a 3 star overall review. I might return at some point but it will likely be a while. read more

I've been officially living in Boca for over 2 years now. And while most of our exploring with restaurants has been limited between the pandemic and having a baby, we finally managed to go here for lunch last week. We figured it must be good since it has so many reviews but...someone please explain to me why this place has so many high ratings? Truthfully I didn't check the menu online before going because I figured at best I've able to find something I liked, but when we arrived the menu was underwhelming. So much so that I decided on the spinach and artichoke dip. Maybe it was because the prices for lunch were kinda ridiculous. My husband ordered a "steakhouse burger" for $27. Huh? The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the drinks during happy hour were decent and also service was good, but even great service can't make up for a lackluster menu and overall lack of taste. Oh yea, that $27 burger? Def not worth it. (Nor the spinach and artichoke dip). read more

The southwest salad was one of the best I ever had. The sever we had, Jacob, was so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We loved eating outside and enjoyed the food, ambiance and service. read more

We came back to Maxsgrill four times since last year. We no longer eat at the table it's more fun at the bar. Especially when Shannon or Nicole are working it. They have a great crew there, I'm not positive if it was Nicole from my review of last year but she's still as amazing as ever if it was her. Those girls handle the bar and the high top tables around it but work hard and fast. read more

Brought friends to wine and dine dinner last night only to find that it wasn't offered as of that evening. Website didn't state this clearly. The manager was terrific and honored the dinner without issue . What a pleasure. I've been enjoying Max's food, service and professionalism for 13 years and will continue to to do so. read more

Came for lunch with my best friend & had Diana as our waitress. We started off with some water & pelegrino as she mentioned the specials and her favorites. We got the Brussel sprouts for an app they were delicious, and I was torn between a sushi roll because it had pop rocks on it. Diana assured me how amazing it was so I tried it. And it was sooo good! Great service & great food! I always love coming here and will be back, Mizner has the best ambiance ! read more

Nice but crowded and noisy. Food was good. Service was good.. its expected in the area..

We have been here a few times, the change now is great. The food was very good, four of us had different fish dishes and enjoyed each. Very accommodating with side dishes. Cocktails also good. But the service is even better. If you need something flag down any employee and they will help you. Our waitress was Kerri D and she was terrific. Overall a wonderful experience deserving 5 stars. Look forward to checking their other place Kaluz Ft Lauderdale read more

My favorite happy hour in mizner! Lots of variety with their HH menu + great prices for the quality & portions. Cannot go wrong with a dry martini or cosmo & love their margaritas too. Fav happy hour food is the street corn pizza - perfect crunchy thin crust & wow the chipotle aioli. Everything pictured was delicious & I would get again. Love the outdoor seating. Quick service. read more

Worst Thanksgiving dinner ever! We have been going to Max's for 5 years now for Thanksgiving. Yesterday's meal came out with processed turkey and it was all cold. When I let the waitress know, she asked if I wanted it to be reheated. I replied that it would still be fake turkey! No offer to order something else or even comp one of the drinks. Last time here. read more

STAY AWAY! recently went for my birthday dinner and not only was it overpriced, but the service was mediocre. being that they charge you a 20% service fee for a party of 5 or more, why would they bother to check on you? Also, this is not mentioned, unless you read the fine print on the bottom of the menu. As mentioned, it was my birthday and when we asked if they sang "Happy Birthday,: their response was " we give you a small dessert." I just wanted a good Birthday dinner to enjoy with family and this was definitely not it. read more

We had an amazing dinner last night at Max's Grille. They were able to accommodate our party of 18 with ease. We had outstanding service, amazing drinks, and everybody's food was absolutely delicious! Spot on! Johnny Mazza never disappoints making sure our experience was VIP, and the beautiful atmosphere always makes Max's Grille a first class experience. Thank you for a wonderful night read more

Nice place and pretty full for lunch. We were sat within 5 min of arrival. Our waitress "Payton" was WOW (well recommended if you come here) her service is bar-non compared to many other places we've been to. The food was also good. My Ceasar salad was nice and full the fish taco would have been a bit tastier if they had added a crunch (like hard shell taco) but that's just my preference. We also had the Brussels sprouts which were a bit on the sweet side but who doesn't like sweets :-))) (should be on the desert menu). Over all I give the food an A- and the service A++ Will definitely come back to Max's. read more

Max's Grille - New American Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Not sure what the hype is. Average food at expensive prices. Seemed like an upscale Chilis.

Let me start this by saying I haven't eaten here...yet. And I've never written a review for a restaurant without trying the food first but here's why this place gets 5 stars regardless: My very dear friend and I were walking around Mizner and had clearly eaten already when we came upon max's. Two managers were organizing some patio furniture and they stopped to bullshit with my friend. They knew he wasn't going to eat there and that we had already had dinner. And they still shook our hands, joked with us and made me want to eat there. What they didn't know...my friend is very ill and feeling normal for the ten minutes that Todd and his fellow manager, whose name I didn't get...my bad...was better than any meal they could serve us. And for this small ten minutes of laughing and joking around I will be eternally grateful for. And since Max's has been in business for 28 years...and I've only been down in southern Florida for 6, I plan on making it my new regular spot. Customer service in this world is difficult. Max's nailed it. They could have ignored us. It was a rainy and slow day. They probably wanted to go home. It was almost closing time. We weren't patrons of their establishment. Inthey went above and beyond to make us feel like we should be patrons. Thanks to the management team at Max's. Todd is clearly a good leader and it shows. Will definitely be in regular from now on! Went with my girlfriends to eat! We had shrimp cocktail, Brussels sprouts, and seared ahi tuna appetizers-all awesome! The Brussels sprouts are legit off the chain yummy! Zoodles and shrimp primavera was fresh, tasty and no carbs! The crab crusted snapper which our amazing waitress told us was what they are known for we devoured! Highly recommend read more

While in town on vacation, we were looking for a kid friendly place to grab some dinner. We headed to Mizner Plaza as it seemed like a good spot for shopping, food, and dessert. SO quaint. A great place to walk and hangout. We stopped in at Max's upon reading rave reviews, many that noted it had a great kid's menu, and have to say we were not disappointed. There was indoor and outdoor seating and opted for indoor with the kids and the heat. Lots of tables and booth seating available, as well as a bar area. We were greeted and seated promptly and the host was very friendly. Once seated, we were greeted by our waitress, Maria. She was awesome! So great with our kids (they were definitely hitting their expiration time of the night), friendly, efficient and gave good recommendations on the food. My husband and I each ordered a drink- a Tito's mule and Bacardi and coke. We both enjoyed our beverages. For dinner my husband got the pork chops off their classics section, and I ordered the turkey burger. For our littles, one got the grilled cheese and the other ordered the cheese pizzette. All of our meals were delicious. It's always hit-and-miss when you order things like a burger or pork chops in a restaurant, they can come out pretty overcooked and dry, but not here! My husband's pork chop was savory and moist and had a great sear on it. My turkey burger was juicy and anything but overcooked and dry, and had great flavor. You HAVE to get the sweet potato fries if those are your thing, because these were tri-colored fries. Looking like they were regular sweet orange, purple and either white or Japanese variety. They were so good! And you NEVER see anything but regular orange sweet potatoes when you go out, especially in fry form. Our children both enjoyed their meals and after having a taste of each, can agree they were good as well. This was a great place right in the middle of a great social plaza. We will definitely visit again when we are back in town! read more

My favorite restaurant in Boca, although I have to complain that the breadsticks and hummus is no longer complimentary. Come on guys! I guess if business isn't affected by it, as it shouldn't be. I get the business decision. But it was a huge perk. Their menu is large with lots of variety, we went with 2 new items I never ordered before and both were very good. Although my favorite classic chopped salad with Tuna is still the winner! read more

Food is always great. We've been here several times over the years when visiting from Chicago. Our menu was as varied as our table (ages 81, 54, 50, 49 and 15). We enjoyed salads, cocktails, NY Strip, Minzer sushi roll, grilled chicken and red snapper special. We had an omnivore and a super picky eater (read: dietary restrictions). Everything was great. See them again soon read more

Max's Grill is located in the center of Mizner Park. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and are dog friendly if you decide to dine alfresco. I had been there a few years ago for dinner and I really enjoyed it. This time I visited for brunch with a few friends. We started out with some cocktails. I opted for the bloody Mary, which was delicious. A friend got the sangria which she liked very much, For our main dishes I had the chicken Milanese, which was so good. My friends tried the kanisu role, southwest Cobb and another had tacos. Everyone enjoyed their food and we had a great time. The service was excellent and we will revisit. read more

It's a 3.5 star, but I just can't round it up for being "I'm a fan" with a 4.0 star. Located in the ritzy Mizner Park square, it's got a nice outside patio and bar, and inside, decent ambiance, service, selection, and presentation -- but average in the actual food. My table of 10 tried all sorts of stuff for appetizers, and the only thing worth writing about was the Crispy Reuben Egg Rolls [$14, 4.0 stars]. For my entree, I ordered the 12OZ DOUBLE BONE-IN PORK CHOP with bourbon maple bbq glazed, sweet potato mash, and brussels sprouts [$29, 4.0 stars]. It was decent, for sure, but all the around the table, the food varied from not good to okay. No one loved it. In fact, I may have liked my meal the most. The highlight of the evening were the desserts, and they were REALLY good. Mixed Berry Crème Brulee Pie, Key Lime Pie, Turtle Pumpkin Cheesecake -- all $12, and near 5.0 stars. Would I come back? Sure. But, not running. read more

A favorite of ours for years! Johnny and his team deliver great food and service in a great atmosphere inside and out.

We originally came to Mizner Park for the Boca Pumpkin Patch Festival but when we saw how crowded it was, we were a bit turned off and changed plans. Without really knowing much about it, we decided to have brunch at Max's Grille and we loved it. I love that they have so many different options. So I got to eat sushi (which I love but my husband never wants to eat) while my husband was able to enjoy brunch food. And the brunch didn't just come with your average breakfast potatoes, it came with these extraordinarily delicious potato pancakes. Would go back here in a heartbeat. read more

The restaurant is usually crowded and rightfully so. The food is very good; service fine. I was with a party of 7; our server couldn't have been more dexterous in taking care of the group. My out of State guests were impressed with everything in the restaurant. read more

The most meatloaf on the planet! Well worth a visit. Sadly, they can't FedEx to me in El Paso.

It was last Saturday night at an outdoor umbrella-table for the four of us. We had reservations and it was crowded, but we were seated within a few minutes. An old man was playing soft jazzy songs on a cornet by the street and a young man 20 yards behind him on a concrete path between restaurants was singing and playing various shades of rock and roll on a guitar that should not have been amplified. Happily we could still hear each other talking. There was valet parking for $6, but I later found out you could probably find parking a few blocks away for free. To start, I wanted a sweet white wine by the glass and our waiter was very helpful suggesting their Reisling. I'm not a connoisseur of fine wines, but theirs hit the spot. I skipped the appetizer and saved myself for dessert. My entree was a swordfish steak with a side of broccoli with thinly sliced garlic. Both were done right and light, not swimming in butter, but still soft and juicy. I didn't expect anything special, but was pleasantly surprised. The dessert I ordered, a fresh berries creme brulee, was more than enough for all four of us and I couldn't be angry with myself for taking a second slice. It was as thick and soft as Boston cream pie, just scrumptious. read more

This restaurant has been in Boca Raton and incredibly successful for as long as I can remember. I love how they expanded their outdoor bar, it's a great setting overlooking the Mizner Park for happy hour or late night dining. We enjoyed the margarita pizza, the spicy, salmon, sushi, roll, and the tacos for happy hour. I paired it with an Apperal spritz your favorite drink since going to Italy last summer. Another restaurant that won't disappoint for every day or a special occasion. read more

First and foremost, Dianna made this visit. What an awesome server. Kind, thoughtful, attentive, and funny. I wish I could give higher marks for the service. Dianna saw that our family was hot, exhausted, and burnt out with a 1 and 4 year old, and therefore made sure each of us felt extra taken care of - my daughter's hamburger came out as quick as possible along with an icey lemonade on the house; we got a great big personal fan/air conditioner (it was SO HOT, but with two kiddos we had to sit outside so they could roam); and once we finally ordered, our food was out quick. And it was SO fresh and delicious! I had asked for a recommendation, and even though the seared tuna (medium rare) with fried rice wasn't something I usually order, I went for it because I could tell Dianna knew what was what. I was NOT disappointed. Very much the opposite. For once I was not looking longingly at someone else's food. The tuna was seared perfectly with a spicy (but not too hot) sauce, and the rice was full of vegetables and flavor. I also got to eat half of my daughter's hamburger and some of her fries - both excellent. Rich cheddary cheese and charbroiled burger. I would go back just for that. The cocktails (a mango mojito and paloma) were also delicious and refreshing. Thank you, Dianna, and thank you Max's for being so accommodating, friendly, high class, and high quality. read more
