We always have a wonderful experience when dining at Max Chophouse. Friendly staff, amazing fare, fabulous cocktails, and absolutely the best beef tartare in town!
Food was not good especially for the price! Steak was chewy and smaller than the 6oz ordered. Extremely overpriced!
The chicken finger appetizer was outstanding, best sauce I've ever had. Let's not forget the hanger steak and mashed potatoes. Fabulous Valentine's Day dinner once again.
The value was not worth the price. A very noisy pub environment for a sit down steak meal.
Mark our waiter and Virginia, the restaurant manager understand exceptional service. Max’s has always been one of our very favorite restaurants because of their outstanding employees. Food and wine list are fabulous as well.
This was my third visit and I intend to keep dining at this wonderful restaurant!
Great restaurant. Super service. Quintessential steak house
Amazing food. It’s expensive, but it is truly great food. Quiet, low lighting, great relaxing ambiance. What a great experience. We will be back.
The large porterhouse was delicious as usual. Nice evening.
This place is an hour and a half away from us, but we make it a point to get there at least a couple of times each year. The food is amazing! Highest quality fresh ingredients , prepared and plated to perfection with attention to detail. Love it here and highly recommend.
Food and service were outstanding! Truly from start to finish. Thankyou Lynn for making my husband’s birthday special! Usually when we go to a steak house the other entrees pale in comparison but not here. I had a striped bass that I will remember for a while.... and the cowboy steak my husband had could stand toe to toe with any we’ve had around the country in our travels from Southern California to Chicago. Blown away.
Wonderful dinner. We celebrated our anniversary. Great food great service. Can’t wait to go back
Was recommended this place by a friend, the food was outstanding. You get what you pay for, it is not cheap, but the cuts of meat are A plus. Natalie the waitress was very attentive. I will be back!
Excellent food and great service! Haven't been in a few years, but will return soon.
Smart restaurant with very nice ambiance. Appetizers were very good while our steak was a medium well, not medium as we ordered. I was disappointed that my date was not served first with the app or the main course (ladies first!) Secondly, specials should always have the price included with the description. I ate at Mortons the week before... not on the same level.
Great restaurant and great food. Awesome staff!
We went on a Wednesday night at 6:30; that combined with COVID seating provided a quiet venue where we could converse without shouting at each other. Our server was friendly and attentive. Salads were crisp and fresh. We both had steaks, which were very good, cooked as we ordered but we did have to swap once we realized I was served the medium and my husband the medium rare. That happens often, everywhere. The broccolini was delicious but swimming in butter; if I return to Max's, I will know to ask when ordering if vegetables can be served without. We didn't order dessert.
Wonderfully accommodating. Will definitely return.
Hi Deborah! Thank you very much for taking the time to provide positive feedback. We look forward to you joining us again soon!
Food and service is always good.
Our waiter/bartender Donny, was fantastic! He is a excellent bartender!
Very good food as usual. Server did a good job as well. Also happy to see they were following COVID rules.
Always excellent ))
Wonderful food! Wonderful service!
Great food!!
I really enjoyed dining here with my husband for our Anniversary. The food and service were awesome. I ordered the steak frites and my husband ordered the strip steak. Both were excellent. We also got Mac and cheese which was out of this world and the smoothest mashed potatoes I’ve ever had. The servers made sure to acknowledge that it was our anniversary which we really appreciated. We will definitely visit Max’s again.
We had a delicious meal and the staff were wonderful. The bartender even came to the table to ask how are cocktails were. Manager also checked to see how everything was. Highly recommend!
The service and the food was fantastic. Overall a great experience.
We both had the specials. Scallops and pork belly over sweet potato hash tasted amazing! Waygu steak was perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth.
We had our anniversary here. The ribeye was excellent and the fillet was excellent as well.
All of the food was fantastic, steak was cooked perfectly.
This is now my favorite romantic restaurant. Loved the food, ambiance and staff!! I went for my 50th bday.
Good food but overpriced
Food and service were great. A bit crowded and noisy but we'd go back.
Our server went above and beyond to show us a great time. This was my wife and I's second visit to Max. We have been blown away by the quality of food and service both times. We can't think of a better place to spend this kind of money for a steak.
Everything was phenomenal!!!
Spectacular food and service! We sat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed everything.
Always a good meal!
Max is one of my favorite places in Rochester. A better steak you will not find.
High end, top notch quality! Food and service was amazing! My only complaint is this place is not easy to find, the strip plaza it’s in is very dark and there was not enough lights in the parking lot. The main entrance door is blacked out which gives the impression of a closed business.
The food was phenomenal. I had the scallops and was pleasantly surprised by how perfectly prepared they were. The rest of my party ordered filets and judging by their oohs and aahhs, seemed to also enjoy their dinner. Don’t let the location fool you. This is a real deal gem!
