A couple of locals told us this was the spot to check out while we were in town. After going, I'm starting to think it was a prank--or some kind of twisted local initiation. The burgers were... fine. Not bad, not great--just something to chew on while you process the real horror show happening behind the bar. That's where they grill the food and where I saw the biggest roaches of my life casually roaming around like they owned the place. I'm not talking one or two--I mean a full-on bug family reunion. Look, I'm all for a little local flavor, but not when it's crawling across the grill. I'll never be back, unless it's with an exterminator and a priest. read more

I came here for lunch one day at the recommendation of a coworker who said they had good burgers. It should be noted that this is first and foremost a bar/pool hall. They have a small section at the front with tables and a giant menu on the wall. I had the cheese burger which was pretty good. The problem I had was that this is a smoking establishment, which is not something I really want around when I'm eating. If your used to places that allow smoking it's probably not too bad at lunch. I did not reek of cigarette smoke when I left which was a concern, though I came at lunch. I suspect it's heavier at night. read more

The kind of place where you can get a no frills cheeseburger, a draft beer and David Allen Coe is on the stereo. Get the chili cheeseburger. read more

Max's Pool Hall - Chili cheeseburger. - Bars Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Max's is a great place to have a burger, hang out with friends, shoot pool and have a few drinks. They offer burgers, cheeseburgers, double cheeseburgers, chili cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, ribeye sandwich and few other options. All the food is very reasonably priced and tasty. The bartenders are very friendly. The music is good and they have a jukebox that you can download & play whatever you want to hear. Plenty of pool tables and even a couple foosball tables in the back. There is usually a pool league on Wednesday nights and a foosball tournament on Thursday nights. Smoking is allowed in the building, and the music is loud enough to have a good time. Not a place for a quiet evening, but an excellent place to eat, drink & party. read more

Max's is a pool hall and restaurant. There is a wood grain bar that separates the dining from the pool tables. Lunch crowd isn't too crazy. The menu is on the wall so don't ask for one LOL. The burgers are excellent! They only come with chips. They also have hotdogs and grilled chicken. If you enjoy good fresh burgers this is a good place to try. read more

Good food and nice bartenders. They were right next to my hotel and I just walked over every night for dinner and a few beers. Everyone in the place seemed friendly. Probably one of the friendliest places that I have been to in awhile. read more

Great place for burgers and cheap beer. Good vibes, friendly bartenders, clean restrooms...can't ask for much more!

One of the better burgers in town. Normally go for lunch. Gets really crowded so if you are going with a group get there early as there isn't much seating unless you are ok with sitting at the bar. read more

Chill. Good food. Strong drinks and cheap prices. Pool tables are nice and the bartenders are dope people

This is probably the best hamburger in Lafayette!!!!! The friendly staff is an added bonus!

Great burger! Excellent texture and flavor in the ground beef. Soft bun, iceberg lettuce, diced onion and a slice of tomato. The right combination of mustard and ketchup served with ruffled potato chips make for a delightful meal... read more

Visiting family and staying at a nearby hotel. Got burgers to go to bring back to hotel to eat. We enjoyed them very much. However, somewhat disappointed that they don't serve French fries. read more

One of the best burgers in Lafayette. Not many people know about the place, but once you do, you are hooked! Hang out and shoot pool or watch some TV. read more

I don't usually rave about burgers but they are damn good. Try the chili cheeseburger with everything on it. Monday nights are $3 pitchers. Wow! Lots of pool tables, very dark inside, its a fun, divey place. read more

Great burgers, cheap beer. That's a winning combination for me. The bartenders are also very friendly and make you feel welcome. It can get a little smoky sometimes in there, but it's usually tolerable for us non-smokers. I'm curious about the rib-eye steak sandwich that's on their menu, so I'll be sure to try that on my next trip. Anyone try it? read more

Had some epic nights at Max's. Haven't been too much lately (moved downtown) and I've only had a burger there once (It was an excellent and proper burger) but I have had some of the best nights ever playing pool there. The pool is cheap and the pitchers of beer are cheap and cold. Also a great selection of tracks in the juke box. I miss this place. read more

This has to be the best burgers in town. Good cold beer, great servers and friendly atmosphere. The double meet burger is great add mushrooms and bacon. Great place to eat and relax. Burgers are cooked to order not pre cooked. read more

Best burger in town! After traveling all day and finding this hidden gem open when no one else was. They know how to cook a burger!

TERRIBLE service. The burgers are awful and the employees are extremely rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend this hole-in-the-wall establishment to anyone even as a last resort. read more

Great burgers and a wonderful grill. I think the flavor comes from the grill that's been there for 30 years it looks like. If you walk in and see a brand new shiny grill be skeptical. Yes the place is a little smoky, yes the place is a little run down, no they don't serve fries, but who cares? This place is a time machine to the late 70's early 80's and if you like that kind of stuff you'll like this place. read more
