"This place is a true hidden gem in Grand Rapids. I have to start by complimenting the server, Marian. She was beyond exceptional. She was personable, polite, friendly, and informative. She made excellence suggestions, and was very attentive. The decor of the place was amazing. It was clean and cozy. I don’t remember what our drink was called, but it was great. We had the pu pu platter. The crab rangoon was exceptional, the ribs were good, the spring rolls and wings were cool. The culinary highlight was definitely the bread pudding, it was out of this world. I was visiting from Toronto and my friend was visiting from Jamaica . I will definitely be coming back to this spot and trying out the different dishes that they have. All in all I wish I could give this place more than five stars, and that would be because of the outstanding service."

"We’ve been to Max’s many times! We’ve never had less than a 5 star experience. The atmosphere is so fun. The food and cocktails are always exceptional. Our kids even enjoy coming here. There are great options for non-alcoholic cocktails for kids that are still served in fun glasses. We’ve tried all of the sushi and they’re all great. The smoked wings are crispy and flavorful and the crab rangoons are outstanding. The chicken satay and spring rolls are also a win. All of the entrees are great. My favorites might be the drunken noodles and bulgogi beef. However, the ramen, the hideaway burger and the tacos are also so good. I highly recommend making a reservation because they fill up quick and it’s not a place you can decide to go last minute. Plan ahead and definitely give this place a try!"

"Amazing place! Hidden gem in Grand Rapids. The decor is superb and will transport you to an authentic Polynesian Tiki experience. The drinks are super fun and the drink menu is expansive! The food was spot on and we’ll definitely be back if we are ever back in Grand Rapids. Great date night or fun night with friends."

"Dear Max’s, your staff, food, and drink, plus ambiance were amazing! I make it a point to visit tiki bars when travelling. While visiting family in Ohio I dragged my dad here from Toledo on a Thursday night. (what a drive and a half) The servers were a pair of young ladies, one gal had a Rum Rum, my darling shirt from the High roller tiki lounge/ Bettie Page rum from out in California which I immediately recognized, and thought was pretty badass! I didn’t realize the owners also had a SF location which explained a lot of the items I saw around the place 😊 Either way the food was superb! The portions were huge, and I wish I could have tried more. The drinks were top notch and again I wish I had a bigger stomach to try more. The servers hooked up my dad with a taste of a rum that they thought he would enjoy, since he’s a bourbon guy and it was both generous and thoughtful! I was absolutely exhausted by the end, and I regret not exploring the upstairs ( which we were invited to check out several times). I am not sure If they had any souvenirs for sale, nor did I see a swizzle… but I got a couple post cards for my tiki cabinet."

"This place seems like an oasis in a concrete city. If you ever wanted to go to a tropical environment and have a few drink drinks and maybe a few appetizers or food, this is your place. The staff was very friendly when we were greeted at the door and they continued to be friendly while serving us. They were friendly and helpful with giving advice on drinks and I imagine food if we had done so. I will say the drinks were strong. I am not complaining. I’m just letting people know. If you wanna get the most bang for your buck, this is definitely one of your stops. They had a wide variety of beverages to choose from. I am sure you will find something that will wet your pallet. The interior is unique in a way that you might not expect. It has multiple floors. The upstairs has a full see-through aquarium, which was very unexpected. The main floor has the bar along with little private cabana type rooms you get seated in for a small party. Overall, this place will be somewhere I come back to and try additional beverages or maybe some food."
