    Max's/Maxine's is an "ole' reliable" when it comes to the traditional bar scene. Great place to…read moredance the night away with locals. But they've really stepped up their game with the restaurant side of the operation. The food is truly outstanding. The burgers rival any burger in Muskogee. The fried mushrooms are hand breaded and not just fried from frozen, and they are worth getting every single visit. The ranch is top notch. They offer a really delicious Saturday brunch menu, but I wish they would do Sunday brunch. They decorate big for Christmas every year, which is really fun. And they have a seasonal photo area that always has a cute backdrop. The only real struggle with Max's is consistent service. It seems like they are always short-handed and very slow. They take reservations for big groups, but don't actually use them, so you still have to wait, which defeats the purpose of reservations. But I'll continue to go for those fried mushrooms!

    Our server was nice and did his best for a large crowd, honestly he was perfectly fine and this…read morereview should be no reflection on him. The burger meat was good. Potato skins are tolerable, and the ranch is made in house. Otherwise, this place is terrible and consistently the worst dining experience I have ever had in Muskogee. It takes at least 60-90 minutes to get your meal, which is usually wrong, and good luck getting drinks or appetizers. They are always woefully understaffed, and typically the staff seems like they hate being here as much as we do (tonight was an exception, staff was friendly). Included a photo of the updated fries in case you think they're the nice looking ones from years ago: nope, they're great value "McD's" knockoff fries. Thankfully this last experience convinced our group of friends to never return. Don't make the same mistake as us. If it was a single night of this, I'd give it a pass or wait and see. Well, I waited, and I saw, after 5-6 visits in here is just no salvaging the eating experience here.

    This was our second visit but the first for a full meal. We entered to a sign saying "seat…read moreyourself" so we chose a booth. We waited for more than 5 minutes without being greeted so we helped ourselves to menus on the counter. I was beginning to wonder if we were supposed to order at the bar when a waitress finally arrived, apologizing for missing us. Ok. We sat ourselves, maybe she didn't see. We ordered grilled cheese, "junk food" kids plate, cheese curds, boneless chicken wings and fried mushrooms. The food arrived in a reasonable time, but we noticed right away that the cheese of our grilled cheese wasn't even melted. Hard to get this wrong. The "boneless wings" were really cubes of chicken breast and not super moist. Curds and mushrooms were great. The food was left at our table and I had to ask for plates - and then asked the bar for silverware. Drinks were not refilled. Overall very disappointing visit.
