Maxs Restaurant & Bar - Auburn (CA)

3 /5 Loves Traveling: We have been coming here off and on for years and have always enjoyed the variety of the menu. The full bar provides lots of options for drinks. This last time we both ordered off the sandwich menu. The chicken melt looked perfect with a combination of avocado and caramelized onions, but was disappointed that there was no bread choice. The bread was grilled and, as a result, very greasy. The same was true for the Reuben, which was ordered without sauerkraut. The greasiness of the bread distracted away from the sandwich. We very much enjoyed the pretzel and cheese sauce appetizer, and our cocktails were great. Werent offered any bread, and noticed later everyone else received it. Finally, ordered a slice of carrot cake to go, and for $8 you would expect a slice much larger than 2" at the widest side. Well return, but will likely order differently.

1 /5 K. C.: The absolute worst customer service in recent memory. After being seated in a very dimly back corner of the dining area, I ordered a simple sandwich and fries and waited just under an hour, while watching several tables who were seated after me served their orders. Finally a gentleman who looked like a dishwasher but professed to be the manager came out and apologized saying they had dropped my order. Which is of course ridiculous because in the time they made me wait they could have finished the order, brought it to my table, dropped it 3 ft away, gone back into the kitchen, made the order again, dropped it again, and made a third order. That was not an accident, that is sheer incompetence and blatant dishonesty. I will not be returning..

5 /5 MEE Ryder-Robb: This is a really nice restaurant at the Holiday Inn in Auburn. A big plus are the 2 charging stations in the parking lot. Of course its great for travelers but locals enjoy this restaurant as well. We had the delicious Mushroom Ravioli stuffed with mushrooms and ricotta cheese with a mushroom sauce, and the Chicken Sambocca which is a chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto with a fettuccine with a light sauce on the side. Excellent service always, fabulous desserts there as well.

4 /5 Gabby Gonzalez: A really nice restaurant upstairs at the holiday inn. Good food & good service. A bit pricey for the food though. $14 for a salad with no meat is a bit much, IMO. Chicken on the Chinese salad tasted like rubber, they took $2 off the bill for that since we didn’t want any more chicken. Everyone else really enjoyed their food though.
