    Cheese and sauce pizza

    Max's is our families first stop when arriving in Surf City, Going a year without having their food is pretty tough to do lol. The service is always top notch and everyone leaves happy .

    two slices of pizza

    They sat a party of 14 quickly, they waitress was so so (didn't understand humor) Did get a refill here (one of few places that gave me one). The pizza was basic, to much cheese and dough not enough sauce. Lacking toppings (under the cheese) for the amount of cheese and dough. This is a family oriented place

    Amazing pizza!

    We visited Surf City for the first time last year and dinned at Max's. It was amazing! When we planned to visit again this year we couldn't wait to eat there again. We ate there twice this year. The friendliness of the staff is wonderful. The pizza is so amazing! If you are visiting Surf City, Max's is a must!!

    Pizza is very good..unfortunately they are very skimpy on the toppings. The price is fine but you don't get your money's worth in toppings.

    Very nice atmosphere. Staff seems to be pleasant…read more Drinks were good Definitely go back

    I am completely disgusted by the toxic environment and total lack of professionalism I witnessed at…read moreHidden Ships Distillery. While I have visited on multiple occasions and always look forward to being served by Cooper, who is a fantastic, friendly, and professional worker...what happened during my last visit ensures I will never be back. While sitting at a nearly full bar, I witnessed a female staff member completely ambush and verbally attack Cooper. She was standing at the register on one end of the bar, and Cooper was clear at the other end by the coffee machine. Instead of walking over to speak to him like an adult, she literally screamed across the entire length of the room. The other patrons and I were in complete awe of the disrespect; she deliberately chose to make a massive, public scene for everyone to hear. The entire tantrum was over a parking space. She refused to clock out until Cooper moved his car out of an unofficial Buffalo Bills fans only spot, which is just the owner's preferred space, not an actual designated zone. Despite being publicly yelled at, Cooper handled it with total class. He stayed completely calm and professional, stepping away from customers to move his vehicle to a standard spot just to keep the peace. To make matters worse, she then paraded back inside and loudly demanded that he move his car again into a handicap space because he has handicap tags. Since when does a placard legally obligate someone to park in a specific spot, and since when is it an employee's job to loudly police that in front of a crowd??? Cooper is an excellent bartender who navigated a completely unhinged situation with grace. Management is clearly non-existent if they let staff create this kind of hostile environment in front of a full house. It was embarrassing, highly unprofessional, and completely ruined the atmosphere. Cooper deserves to work somewhere better, and I won't be spending my money here again.
