We stopped by Maxx for breakfast on Sunday and it's your typical greasy spoon. The service was excellent, the atmosphere is nothing special. The breakfast menu consists of the usual suspects: omelets, pancakes, french toast and your basic egg dishes. I decided to order the breakfast sandwich with scrambled egg, ham, and American cheese on an English muffin. The sandwich was good, but it seemed really greasy. The portions are generous. I couldn't eat my whole sandwich and barely made a dent in the hashbrowns. I can't attest for the other items on the menu, but the people I dined with really enjoyed their omelets and breakfast scrambles. The pancakes are nothing special. read more

3 Times .... Your out! It's really hard writing this review BUT I just left this place paying a hefty bill for food no one enjoyed. The ambiance is very interesting with allllllllll the dead carcasses over the bar from Africa but not enough to counteract the: Slow service, apathetic, rude wait staff, cold food with no flavor and ear exploding / heart distressing loud crude atmosphere. EVERY time I walked in I knew we should have walked out! We've tried: drinks for fun. .. lunch menu. .. dinner now ....Don't get the ribs = Yuck! I've had to send food back with still receiving bad reruns an a fish lunch...I can still taste the horrible slime on the fish. Salads / Sauces are boring... There is not even any fun drinks on the menu. My husband had a burger there once with a raw center, soggy rings and mushrooms that tasted gooey or "past their prime". Steward your time and save your dough... = avoid till better management takes over. read more

If you are going just to eat, don't go on bingo night. Waited 50 minutes after ordering at 6:20, kitchen was overloaded, but the bingo crowd wasn't there when we got there! A bit overpriced, alot of ala carte! read more

This is my 4th trip here. The food was excellent! The bartenders were fast & friendly. Last Saturday I was there to see one of their live bands that they have every Friday & Saturday night ! Fantastic music, Great time & no cover charge! read more

The best thing going for Maxx's is the bands they bring in on occasion. Otherwise, the food is mediocre at best and the service not much better. We ordered burgers and fries tonight and paid the $1.99 to upgrade to waffle fries. I received 7 fries and my husband 8... and most of them were just pieces. Put all together we probably received 4 full waffles fries each. The food is definitely not worth what they charge, which is too bad with limited choices in the area. read more

My girlfriend and I wanted to hang out. Both from the area. Have both been here in years past. All that didnt matter yesterday. We walked in about 530 pm and were gone by 532 pm. It STUNK. No excuse. No justification. They should just close the doors. Its embarrassing to Ham Lake. Imagine the dirtiest, musty basement smell combined with dirt, body odor, grease, grime, food, spilled alcohol all mixed into one, giving you an bouquet aroma that almost made me vomit. And not to judge, but it was full of trailer trash people too. Yuck. Never again. read more

Awesome service!!! Great music every weekend! The waitresses are amazing and always on point no matter how much is going on! The best bar in the north metro area! If there is's a spot where you want to have a good time this is it! read more

Had pizza and deep dish cheese bread.. Loved every bite. Amazing service during a busy night.. There was a band playing.. Will be back :) read more

Maxx Bar and Grill - American Near Me - Andover, Minnesota

Let's just be honest... I only starred this placed cause I needed to put some sort of rating on it.. I I had the choice to not star it I would.. Where to begin u may ask ? Let's start with the service... Time and time again I come into this dead ass joint to find that it would have been easier to walk behind the bar to get my own drink than to inconvenience the socialite bartender. Waiting over a half hour with and empty drink before being served is NOT okay. On top of that their wings are drowning in the sauce u choose as if they cook the wings plain and then dump a bucket of sauce on them before being served. And lastly to have the waitresses, bartenders and other staff to just plainly ignore your requests. read more

Normally the food and service is really good but this time it was horrible. They took my drink to refill it and didn't bring it back till 15 minutes later. The place wasn't even busy. My burger was also way over cooked and vary hard to chew. The waitress wasn't personable at all, and didn't refill my drink after the 1st refill. Asked for a to-go box to bring the burger home to the dog and never got it. read more

Bartender tried to rip us off. Wait service was slow, but they were busy. Bar and glasses smelled like mold. Friend's burger was raw in the middle. This place used to have great food. We're locals, and Every time we go, it seems to get worse. We probably won't go again, but if we do it will just be to drink, if there is a good band. I wouldn't chance eating here again until I can tell that they've scrubbed the place, and I hear from friends that it's improved. read more

This place is close to home so we go pretty often. I was debating between 3 and 4 stars but the description of "A-OK" is pretty accurate. The food is decent bar food. Nothing to write home about but not bad. Their battered fish is good. Inside needs a little updating (please get new bar stools Maxx!). Service is good most of the time. Their drink selections aren't too bad for Ham Lake. read more

My favorite party Bar in the area ... Great bands .. Fun atmosphere .. Cheap strong drinks

This place is great for live music. Real bands (not the two piece).

My family thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. The food we ordered was absolutely delicious (hot turkey sandwich and mashed potatoes, burger and sweet potato fries, French toast and fruit). The service was great and the pricing was good. Clean and friendly environment. We will definitely visit again. My only regret was asking my husband to grab my to-go box.. guess what was forgotten at the table? ;) read more

The food was okay to decent but overpriced. The service was not very good unless your at the bar drinking. I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

we went here to see a band called Ovation play the music of Prince! the band was Great ,the bar was cool with good food I had a Burger that was huge and tasted real good seen a guy with a porterhouse that had to be 3 lbs it was 2" thick and as big as the plate and even looked good next trip i guess I think it's a good bar with good bar food and I will go back again! read more

If I could have given zero stars, I would have. We went to Maxx's on a whim on Mother's Day. There were maybe 4 or 5 other tables in the whole place, but there was a large group playing a poker tournament in the back. From the second we walked in, our service was terrible. Our server didn't come to take our drink order for about 10 minutes. At that time, we also ordered the food for our three kids. The waitress apologized profusely that it took her so long. Took about another 10 minutes to actually receive our drinks. After she dropped our drinks off, she said that she would be right back to take our order, and we must have waited another 10 minutes before she came back. Fifteen minutes later, the cook came out to ask my daughter what side she wanted with her kids meal. Then, out comes my husband's pizza. The one we ordered 10 minutes AFTER our kids' food. The food was dropped off by another gentleman. We ate our food with no drinks, because she never came back to check on us. Not once. I ate about half of my walleye sandwich. I couldn't even eat the rest of it because the bottom was so soggy. I paid the upcharge for fries and ate two of them. They were so salty, they were inedible. We proceeded to wait another 15 minutes AFTER we were done before she came to ask if we wanted her to bring the check. I just handed her a credit card because who knows when she was coming back! The kicker: she charged us $3.99 for a side of fries for my son's kids meal. If she had told me up front that his kids meal was going to be $10.95, I'd have ordered him the adult version. Our meal, start to finish took almost 90 minutes. This was, hands down, the worst service I have ever had. The food was terrible. We won't be back. read more

This place is really pretty good. We are here visiting family and it's close so we have gone several times. Service was very good and we have had several servers. Food is very good! Had the Walleye sandwich, huge potion, crisp not soggy and the homemade chips are excellent. You gotta try them. Everything was clean and fresh. G-kids were treated great. Tater tots are really good. Will be here for another month. I'll try to give another update. read more

I have been 2 times now and not really impressed, the atmosphere is good, however the food i have had is marginal. It seems as though the food is all cooked in the same oil, and my baked potato tasted old. We went for dinner on Valentines day and our server said she would allow us to get something off of the special menu they had for t hat day less the appetizer and the desert, I got a smaller steak and still ended up paying more for the meal after all of the ala cart add ons, then I would have paid had I just gotten the biggers steak with appetizer and Desert. Disapointed. wont go back read more

We went for dinner & drinks this past weekend because we were in the area and "Yikes"! No welcoming feeling, floor was sticky, bathrooms were nasty & stinky, food was blah, I had some other woman's lip markings on my glass , and not to mention the cattiness and testosterone flying from the people in the bar. Plain and simple, I will never recommend this place nor give it a second chance. read more

I can't rate the food here because I didn't get any. We came in at 930 on Thanksgiving morning, there were only 2 occupied tables so not busy at all. We sat at our table for 15 minutes and never had a server come to our table even though I know he saw us because he helped a man 2 tables from us. He seemed to be by himself, although there was another waitress outside, smoking a cig. We will not be returning read more

We frequent this bar often, Never had a "bad" meal,. Its basic bar food. Love the live bands on the weekends.
