He said it was good (he ate all of it). He also got the Parmesan wings which he wasn't that impressed with, but ate them. They were fried with shredded Parm sprinkled on top, but he was expecting a sauce. I had the 2 Walleye filets (amazingly fresh and I only found 2 bones). I got them blackened and they were so good! I got a salad and wild rice for the sides. The rice was perfectly cooked and there was a delicious roll with it. The service was terrific. We got our food on time, and the waitress kept our drinks filled. The restaurant itself was beautifully situated on Mina Lake. We had a good view of the lake. The restaurant was clean and has tables and booths. The bathroom was also very clean. They would've gotten 5 stars but the wings cost them a star. We'll be back! Great place.

Wow, this place was solid. Came because it was open on Sundays (not much else is)…read more Prime rib sandwich (they have these on Sundays?) utterly satisfying. Chislic steak bites was good - not the most flavorful, but again, satisfying. I got the Cabaret fries instead of regular fries and enjoyed them - basically fried chunks of baked potato. It's a divey bar-restaurant (in the best way possible) - hugely surpassed expectations. Great value. Would happily return!

It was like these people were from another land. They couldn't smile and they barely wanted to talk. This was my hometown it used to be a fantastic little bar. They have ruined it.

They dumped a crap ton of onions and mushrooms on it then wrapped a piece of bacon.... Why. Just cook the steak and put additions on the side. The Ribeye was terrible. The fries were fast-food quality. The cheese balls were nice. But hard to mess up cheese. Our waitress was wonderful. Very sweet. Price was good. I can't argue with good pricing. I think this place just needs some love in the kitchen and love with its ambience. I'd give it a 2nd go but it's not something I'm pulled to.

Two of us had different burgers (Roadhouse and Santa Fe)--both were done exactly as we ordered and very flavorful. Others in our group had the country-fried steak and the Wisco sandwich--very good!

I would normally give this 3 stars anywhere else, but relative to other restaurants here in…read moreWatertown, I bumped it up an additional star. There's plenty of parking on the street or the parking lot adjoining. Approach is open and the door is obvious. Ambiance inside is interesting; open area, semi-dimly litt with the bar to left and more table and booth seating to the right and there's a step down separate room for private events, further underpins the steak joint atmosphere. The menu options covers land, sea and air and my paaps and I landed on air and myself went with turf. The meat dish the filet oscar was perfectly cooked to medium rare with lobster, shrimp, asparagus topped off with hollandaise sauce. The chicken breast was the same quality and the dad added a side of wild rice. Wine menu is descent for the area and I ended up with a pinot that was a nice accompaniment to the steak. I've been coming to this town for quite some time and didn't know about this place, so will add it to my go to place and would recommend to anyone looking for a descent, quiet restaurant here in Watertown.

The meat is overwhelmingly gamey and dry. Overseasoned and overcooked. Shrimp are just pieces of char or in the case of the breaded ones, just rocks as a result of the over frying. Overall there is not a single good restaurant around these parts with good or decent meats maybe as a result of bad quality cattle region. Desserts like cakes come frozen and make their way to the table half thawed which is lazy and mediocre.

Ambiance and service were wonderful. The restaurant is large with low lighting. Our server was…read moreattentive and the food came out quickly. Most of our food was tasty, but there were a few oddities. The side salad was fresh, and we enjoyed the warm bread with honey butter that came out before the food. The crab legs were the highlight of the meal- they came out with melted butter that had a little candle beneath to keep it warm. That being said, the 6 oz steak that came with the crab legs (surf and turf) was way overcooked. I ordered the 12oz boneless ribeye. While it was cooked medium rare like I ordered, the fat was unrendered and several pieces were very chewy as a result. It was hard to cut on a metal plate. The caramelized onions were far from being caramelized; they were under seasoned and undercooked (still crispy). There was a pile of way overcooked green beans on the plate that had no seasoning. Who uses mushy green beans as a garnish? We wanted to love our experience. Overall it was okay. The food fell flat from our expectations.

When you first walk in (Thursdays) you will be host with a strong scent of slightly rotten crab legs ::::spooky:::: . Be prepared to wait to be seated for a while as the wait staff prepares your "haunting" experience. Once seated you will be handed slightly crumpled menus with a wide selection of horrific meal options. The selection may look like a normal American restaurant menu but don't be fooled they will whip up a scary concoction. My personal favorite is the blackened pasta (my receipt said Cajun pasta so I don't know what I actually ate of the two). You will first receive a normal salad but then you will receive the most terrifyingly disgusting pasta you have ever seen. Grease soaked angle hair pasta, mushrooms that are somehow burnt, uncooked pepper strings, and a cheese sauce that has no flavor whatsoever other than the lowrys seasoned salt sprinkled on top. The plate comes with a water and grease garnish that is just immaculate. The steak was good but had a bit more seasoned salt than needed. This terror entree will set you back $22. A two course meal for one in total cost $41.43 . | * disclaimer this is sarcasm it is not a Halloween themed restaurant. It was an awful restaurant and not worth it. A frozen michelina's pasta has more and better flavor.

Our young waitress had a wine glass and drank from it quick. Then we walk in and it seemed normal. But after we ordered it was out of control with those 3 teenagers on phones and broadcasting some kind of social media interaction. They were extremely loud and obnoxious while we tried to enjoy our date. It was an expensive date. The food was delicious but the atmosphere was torture. The boss didn't seem to have control over his people. We left 10 mins after we got our food. The teens were unbearable to be around. We have teens of our own and this was our date night.

Max's is the furthest thing from authentic, and as long as you understand that you're gonna have a great experience. Max's is consistent. I've never had anything from here that needed to be sent back to the kitchen. Not once in 40 years. Speaking of which, the menu (and the prices!!) have changed very little over the decades. If this is your first visit, Max's Platter is a good choice. Order the nachos, maybe go wild and get them with meat. Get both salsas. Enchiladas, super Sancho, chimichangas, and seafood enchiladas are also can't miss items. I've heard good things about their burgers, but I've never had one. Be sure to get a blended margarita! They come in several flavors and are adorned with a single hazelnut. Cute! Don't let the bad reviews keep you from trying this gem of a restaurant. A+++
