We had pizza, The Godfather and a German favorite we couldn't get to because we were so full on the first. It's not a franchise looking place but it's home town and uniquely original. Give it a try!

Comfort style food. While not gourmet (or even close) it was all served with a friendly welcoming attitude. Had the Rueben for lunch and was good - not a classic rueben like you would get in NYC, but then again this wasn't in NYC. Had the lunch specials the other times and was always served with a smile and tasted like what your grandmother would serve.

I just had a wild hair to pull off the side of the road to have a dive burger. And let me tell you,…read moreit was divine. I ordered the jalapeño poppers, which was kind of a fusion thing. It was popper stuffed egg rolls. Secret cheeses and diced peppered, deep fried in the wrap. Really really good and unique. I had to try the Bacon Macaroni and Cheese burger. It was really incredible, coming from a restaurant in a town with a population of 300+ folks. The burger was thick, and perfectly cooked. Not too dry, with a slightly juicy light pink center. The Mac and cheese and the bacon crumbles were so good and the potato roll was soft and I just loved it . I could only eat half, the rest is coming on the plane ride home. I don't know when I will be back, but I'm glad I stopped!! I wish them luck! PS: The sweet tea was perfect too, for a hot summer day and the cool breeze of ND. Friendly service, unsuspecting amazing food!

We drove down to Max to try out a bar and grill a good friend recommended - The Red Light Bar and…read moreGrill. Unfortunately their cook was hospitalized and their kitchen was closed so we went to the other option in Max: Pour Choices Bar and Grill - formerly The Max Cafe. Pour Choices Bar and Grill was having their Grand Opening Weekend so we decided to eat lunch there. My buddy ordered an Aloha Burger which he said was just ok but he said the fries were great. I ordered the Chicken Wing Basket they were excellent, very nicely rendered and crispy. I ordered garlic parmesan wings and they had very good flavor and even with the garlic parmesan they remained crispy and delicious. The wing basket comes with fries and cole slaw but don't get the waffle fries unless you want a $3 up charge! We ate in the bar and it was dimly lit and I didn't see that the waffle fries was an upcharge, I thought it said the wings came with waffle fries and cole slaw but they assured me when charging that the menu said it was extra... 4 Stars for the wings but minus one for the food taking a very long time... 35-40 minutes to come out and it wasn't that busy but I'd still recommend eating there but YMMV. We'll definitely make another drive to Max and try out the Red Light next time. One thing that does bother me is the waitress just announced the bill total without presenting a printed bill for the customer to examine and then pay. I had to ask for a printout and I think that should be a given. $14 wings and a $3 Pepsi turned out to be $21+ because I didn't see the fine print about the waffle fries. They were very good waffle fries but had I known I wouldn't have opted for the extra $3 charge as the regular fries would have been plenty good to have as well.

You are a hunter seeking pheasants, ducks, deer, or an excuse to get away from the house and…read morewondering where do I get a refreshment. You have a friend of a friend that said go to Robinson and now your wondering WTH do I do there? You are a tourist/wandering nomad thinking there's gotta be a reason to stop somewhere in the vast endless prairie land of North Dakota. You seek the meaning of life, a writer looking for inspiration, or maybe just someone to talk to. You are a local. Liar! You wouldn't be reading this. Ok, additional need to know items. If it's dark out and you blink, you'll literally drive right by this town without realizing. The locals don't wear cowboy hats. Yeah, yeah, there's pictures, out of state regulars. Cash, United States currency in small denominations please. Flash a Benjamin and you're impressing no one unless your buying a lot of beer for yourself and everyone in the bar. But you do get to ring the bell! Ring it like you have a pair or you get the buy another round. Repeat as necessary but it's more fun to roll dice for rounds. Looking for fancy mixed drinks or micro brews? Bismarck is an hour away. Are you a foodie? Hope you like pizza or go to Carol's. So why come here? It looks like another one bar town and there's plenty in North Dakota. You want a sterile modern bar go to Tuttle or Pettibone. You go to Hanson's for beer in a can, the stories, and history in the making. The summer events, especially Kidder County Classic dirt bike race, truck pull, and the 2-day music Center Fest (campers welcome). Conversation with genuine people. Bill Bender. There's a unique story behind most of the decor in the bar and depending on the day and maybe a Jackson he'll tell you. Everything from The Wall Street Journal, identified as a state landmark, CBS Morning news, the town trebuchet, the ICDC, Dale Watson, chicken sh** bingo, the birth place of spoken word karaoke, and so much more. He's also got the fastest modern WiFi in the area. People from around the world have been here and they'll remember the experience for the rest of their lives. So stop reading, get driving, and join their ranks.
