Max's Grill & Sheep Shedde Inn

Here for a family dinner during the Vikings game. There was no one there. Just a few of us in the bar. Our dinner was good and the prices were good for what you get. Been here several times over the year and it's always a good experience.

Once again one of the best Grilled Salmon Dinners I've ever eaten in a restaurant and Amazing Service

Max's Grill & Sheep Shedde Inn restaurant in Olivia MinnesotaWent to Max's Grill on Wednesday July 10 2019 with two adults. We found this restaurant from Yelp for the area we were driving in on the way back from a two day photoshoot in SW Minnesota. The restaurant is located on the south side of Highways 212. The restaurant is attached to the Sheep Shedde Inn and has a large parking lot with plenty of spaces. (We did not visit the hotel, but there is an attached indoor hallway that will keep you out of the elements.)We were there for lunch and there was a seat yourself in the bar sign. Not too many other folks in there, and there were high tops and booths available for dining. There is an outdoor seating area that I think was for the restaurant - it wouldn't be high on my list to sit outside and look at tractor trailers drive past. Bathroom was clean, and the women's restroom has two stalls. The restaurant had a special of Salmon Burgers on an onion bun with pasta salad. We both opted for the Sourdough Patty Melt. Let's talk about food! SOURDOUGH PATTY MELT ($11.50) Grilled with fried onions and finished with cheddar cheese, we selected french fries for our side. After the fact it seemed odd that our server never asked how we wanted the burger cooked. I like rare and the burger arrived in a state that couldn't get any more well done. Lesson learned for next time, ask for level of doneness. The bread seemed more like a Texas Toast than sourdough and everything that came off the cooktop (burger, onions, bread) tasted like the Salmon special. French fries were also fried to a doneness level that made some of the smaller pieces hard. The fries also had a fishy taste to them too. If we stop in Olivia again we would likely try a different option.

Would have to travel a few miles to find a better selection of food. Conveniently located with a local hotel. Friendly staff and a nice selection of tap beers.

I thought this was a great spot. The food was great and they had so many options. I was with a table of 5 and the food was served very fast. We were driving through Minnesota hauling a boat and Max's had a large parking lot as well to accommodate.

Definitely great service and delightful food. Next time you're near Olivia, MN, stop by and grab a bite!

i really didn't expect much out of Olivia MN but we needed to stop along our travels and the outside of this place looked a tad more refined than some of the other places along our route. It was clean and has a huge menu and decent enough drink selection. The service was nice but not a place you will remember and want to stop frequently because it was just so damn delicious. Next time I will keep driving and try something new.

Great service Dakota was beautiful and was fantastic owners were fab too.. max also has a place in spicer golf course go visit great people!!!! Jason and misty:)Rosemount mn

There aren't many options for food in a small town like Olivia. Fortunately, Max's Grill exists. Really good food at average prices in a good atmosphere. The staff is friendly. We've had a great meal every one of the dozen times we've gone to Max's. My one complaint is that they don't serve breakfast, which is really odd since they have the attached hotel/in. There is no decent place for breakfast in Olivia. Don't even suggest The Chatterbox...ugh!

Went for Mother's Day buffet and was very disappointed. Fruit was gone, dessert almost gone. Thought they were supposed to have breads but none. Ribs were so so Potatoes so so. I was so disappointed.Usually their food is great.
