Max's Bistro & Bar

Great food at a great value, cooked fresh. Kind service in a spacious building. Very accommodating of a larger group.

Very good Mexican food. The Ceviche is fresh and excellent. The fajitas are large enough to share and the enchiladas are always a good choice. They charge extra for sour cream but don't tell you upfront. Drinks are pricey. Service was very good. They charge a 3% credit card fee. They didn't let us know upfront and its not posted or listed on the menu. They also don't have a website so you cannot view a menu before you go.

Went to Max's for an early Saturday dinner while celebrating special events. Seated immediately and the setting/vibe is very nice. Nicely decorated, wood floors, tin ceiling. Friendly capable service from bartender/host/wait staff. We did not feel rushed which was great. I had the jalapeño margarita and it was great. Our water glasses were kept filled and dishes removed promptly from table when we were done with them. The chips and salsa were good and replenished when we requested. The cheese dip was disappointing. Lacked flavor. We did not get the chorizo in it as someone in our group was vegetarian. Maybe chorizo would have helped give it needed flavor?Entrees included buzo tacos with blackened mahi, vegetarian fajitas and swordfish with vegetables. Everything was tasty and filling. I thought the beans with my tacos were just ok. My husband loved the swordfish. After he placed his order for it, the server told him the price in menu was inaccurate due to market price. $4 more than what was on the menu. Best practice would be to have accurate price in the menu OR indicate it is market price (as was the case for the lobster entrees). Just providing constructive criticism.Overall, a fine place to dine. I will come again.

Downtown Chippewa Falls after 2 pm, it is difficult to find a place for quick bite. My coworker and I tried to find a place for sandwich, somehow ended up at Max's since all the stores were closed at 2 pm. I ordered Buzo Taco with grilled red snappers. It was great! My friend had Ahi Tuna Burger and it was great, especially the fries were awesome!

We were in the back room for a party of ten. Our server did an amazing job at keeping up with all of us, whether it was concerning food or drinks. I can't list off what everyone had, but I know what a few of us had: Pina Colada Halibut, Blackened Scallop Linguine, Tropical Mahi Mahi, Vallarta Shrimp and Chicken Chimichanga. We all really enjoyed our food and had a great experience overall!!!

This was our first time at Max's and it did not disappoint! Service was excellent and the food was awesome. I had the blackened swordfish and mixed veggies my husband had the lamb. Both entrees were tasty and cooked perfectly. The keylime cheesecake was killer for dessert. We will definitely be back!

Such a wonderful experience ~ I hosted a birthday dinner for 10 at Max's and I can't say enough about how excellent the service was. From when I called to make the reservation, to helping pre-arrange food and cake, through dinner service, all was wonderful. Our server, Ariel, was warm, communicative, and took good care of our guests. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Food is fantastic! This is our go to restaurant any night of the week! The Fat Fish Burrito with snapper and the sauces are worth every calorie

Our service was alright but they were swamped so no fault of hers. Drinks were great, food was fantastic. My kids loved the touch of the curly straws. We aren't local but if we're ever in the area again we would come back. Very coastal style decor.

There wasn't one person in the restaurant when we walked in and no one came in while we were there. That should have been a good indication that we should eat elsewhere. The food was terrible. I don't even know what else to say, the food was just bad.That being said, the service was fantastic. The waitress so so nice and friendly. Top notch service, I feel bad that they have to serve that food. The restaurant itself was cute, a little boring but fine. However.....the food. I would love to meet with the chef to fix that menu. Holy cow.
