    Tom and Chris having a blast at maxdons.

    This is the best bar and steakhouse in Santa Clarita. Not only is the service and food amazing but we have the best bartender Shannon every time we come in and she provides the best service and is very quick with our orders. She is a tool fan so be sure to play a song for her. She is wonderful and you will love her. Wings are unbelievable. Highly recommend.

    HUGE steak salad. Very tasty

    This is a bar, but we always come here for the food. This time I ordered the steak salad and it was massive! Service is also very attentive and it's super dimly lit. Overall, a good vibe you could eat well have a lot of drinks and there's always a story to tell!

    Favorite local dive bar. My favorite spot for a salad and cheeseburger. The staff are all super nice and friendly.

    Really cool place with stylish decor, amazing food, and good vibes. A bit pricey, but worth it.

    A Hidden Gem with a Heartbeat from 1973: Maxdon's Bar & Grill in Lancaster Walking into Maxdon's Bar & Grill on Avenue I is like stepping into a time capsule. This place is alive, still beating with the same warm heart it has had since 1973. The same owner, the same vintage charm. And you can feel it the moment you walk through the door. My server, Shannan, has been working there for 20 years. Twenty years! That kind of loyalty doesn't just happen. It's a reflection of good people running a good place. A place where community still matters and where the staff are treated like family. You can taste that goodness in every bite. Now, let's talk about the food. I've been on a quest, wandering Palmdale and Lancaster in search of the perfect hamburger. And finally, the journey led me here, to this unassuming gem with a grill that sizzles right out in the open, next to the seating area. As I settled in, something smelled so good it made my mouth water. I didn't realize right away that the wonderful scent filling the restaurant was my very own burger, cooking just steps away on the open grill. Real fire. Real food. Real flavor. The burger? Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. It took me back to when food was simple and honest. They even have a salad bar and a soup bar, and everything tastes fresh. Maxdon's is not just a restaurant; it's a Lancaster treasure. It is the kind of place you want to bring your friends, your family, and your memories. I came in looking for a good burger, and I left with a favorite new spot that I'll return to again and again. I'm proud to say I'm now a forever customer.

    Paloma, which wasn't tasty.

    The food wasn't too bad. The drinks were terrible, even the Coca-Cola I had was flat ! The service was mediocre at best. Ambience wasn't all that great either to tell you the truth. I had to hear an old lady yell about every problem she ever had. We finished our food and left promptly.

As you drive up it is a stand along building with plenty of parking on the far back left side of the parking lot plaza. The interior is very unique, dark back ground with blue lighting with many wall art pieces and TV's you can view within any seating options. They have bar top seating, table and charges and booths. Plenty of seating for small and large parties. As you can see from the menu pictures below they have many food options depending on what you in the mood for. We stopped in during lunch to test out their wings, we heard they were very good, they did not disappoint. The lunch special is a great way to sample their food, we each had our own wing lunch special, I had the 10 piece, you can get two choices of sauce with the 10pc only, my brother had the 8 piece, each order comes with a drink and your choice of fries or onion rings, great price for the wings. The wings had great flavor and were fair sized, I was very impressed with the "hot" buffalo sauce, very tasty with a small kick, I would recommend a try, I also ordered the spicy teriyaki,it was ok but my brother ordered the spicy lemon pepper that is also a hit and a must try. The french frys were criss cut and good sized portion as well. The staff was friendly, we had a great interaction with the bartender (Ash) who brought over our drinks. Overall, a very good experience, we are also looking for a spot to watch the World Cup games and Ash mention that they were going to support the games, we will be back next week to take in the games and more of the menu.

    Following our epically failed experience at the NEW Coach's location in Palmdale, we came here in…read morehopes of enjoying Coach's like we used to. The wait staff was pleasant enough, but all the additional charges are out of hand! I had ran into this issue here, previously, as well as at the NEW Coach's just earlier today. We ordered one dozen wings. We asked for the six flats of the order to be "mild" and the six drums to be the spiciest they have (which is not spicy at all). We asked for them to be extra wet. My wife likes ranch with hers, while I like blue cheese. When the ticket is presented, there are up-charges for ALL FLATS and ALL DRUMS, a charge for the blue cheese, a charge for ordering the wings wet. Seriously?! First of all, I had spoken to a manager at this location previously about the up-charges for separating the flats and drums to different flavor profiles. The manager agreed that I should not be charged for this and removed those charges. In discussion with the manager at the NEW Coach's, earlier today, the same consensus was relayed. STOP CHARGING FOR THIS! Look, I could understand if I was ordering six or twelve wings and asking for all of them to be drums or flats. When one orders twelve wings, which is generally equal amounts of drums and flats, why am I attempting to be up-charged twice for having one sauce on all the flats in my order and another sauce on all the drums? Why are you charging me for another dipping sauce on an order of twelve wings? You give one dipping sauce for an order of six wings. You think one dipping sauce is compatible for an order of twelve? You charge me for asking for our wings extra wet? The only reason we ask for them that way is because the wings are nearly dry if you don't. And, the little dollop of sauce that came with the wings was hardly worthy of being called "wet". I had to ask for more sauce because there was not enough to even consider them being viewed as wet when they arrived to the table. This place is going downhill; quick, fast, and in a hurry since the transition to new ownership. Coach's used to be a place we could enjoy going to and count on their menu staples being available (if they weren't sold out!). The fried green beans were in high demand. So much so that they were sold out when we went, a few times. Their pretzels were also a huge hit! The new owners removed them from the menu. I know they have had numerous requests to bring them back, but they couldn't care less. The food has gone downhill, the wait staff is not as lively and personable as they used to be, the extra charges are ridiculous, and the new owners don't give a rat's a$$ about their customers; they only care about trying to make money (while removing a couple of the best selling items on the original Coach's menu). Make that make sense! Remove sell-out items when your only focus is about making money. The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is because the waitress was halfway attentive. Good luck with your future, as you continue to lose previously loyal customers!

Upon entering, a bouncer seated a few feet away aggressively called out to us. Although several other guests were entering at the exact same time, he singled us out to distribute wristbands. He did not check IDs, nor did he request wristbands from any of the other parties entering the venue. While seated, I observed numerous groups walk in without being stopped or questioned. When I asked our server why selective entry rules were being enforced, she simply acknowledged that he "only asks certain people." This inconsistent enforcement made us feel singled out and unwelcome. As long-standing customers, we expect fair and professional treatment for all patrons, and this experience fell far short of that standard.
