This was my first time at Max’s. I had the pork chop and it was fabulous. The best that I’ve ever had. It came with brussel sprouts and potatoes on the side. My dad had the burger and fries which also looked delicious. The restaurant is not very big, so seating quarters are tight. The restaurant has a nostalgic feel to it. It’s not inexpensive but it was worth every penny. I’ll be back!

After being our go-to for takeout burgers, Max Chophouse is now also our new go-to for date night. Last time I got the ribeye and she got the sea bass. Everything was prepared to perfection. Their menu changes with the seasons, so order the heirloom tomato salad while you can. The wine list can be intimating, but look for the Turley zinfandel on the late page, which is tasty, pairs well with the steaks, and is a good value. Impeccable, friendly, and prompt yet unrushed service, at a place they remember you by name.

Making reservations for 6:45pm, we showed up a few minutes early and were quickly seated. I specifically requested a table across from the bar area and the friendly host offered my choice from a few tables. We chose the third table from the host stand.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing birthday dinner the other night. The food was beyond exceptional and our server Natalie was the best. Cocktails and wine were on point and the dining room had a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere. We are already planning our next visit. Best steak in all of Rochester!

First time here, party of 4 all dishes had issues. Appetizers were horrible, crab cakes SO small, a bit spicy. The mushroom ricotta appetizer was HORRIBLE. The mushrooms were so odd that they had the texture of being dehydrated and hard. The ricotta was runny and fell through the tines of the fork. The worst was the ONE piece of toast that was beyond burnt. All of the food was over seasoned, including the lobster tail and filet. Why ruin a lobster tail with so much seasoning and uneven at that. Again the pasta dish came out with black burnt toast?! So dissaponted, would NEVER return.

My first visit at Max Chophouse was a good one. We had reservations which were met on time. The steak tartar was fresh and delicious, and the steak we ordered was cooked perfectly how we ordered it. The NY strip with truffle butter on the side was incredibly tasteful and very large. The filet was perfect as well. Constant water service and attentive waitress but not over attentive; a good balance. Dim atmosphere, family style seating with a small space as a separation, but still felt by ourselves which was nice but social at the same time. This place seems to get good business by just being known, or word of mouth. The store front is not much to behold, and at night could barely see where to turn into the parking lot in front. We ended dinner off with a little espresso which was quite good. The bill we gave two cards and told her to split evenly which she seemed to charge me twice then refund me and never told me, which annoys me. Other that this, we had a good time. We talked with the couple we came with for a while after we were done and didn’t get rushed out at all. Coat check available and great bar with wine selection as well.

We celebrated our anniversary here – and the food was absolutely delicious. We had steak and a pork chop – and there was not a thing on our plates that weren’t beyond amazing. Everything was fantastic! We will definitely be back!

Made a reservation weeks in advance and still waited over an hour to be seated. Then, another 45-50 mins for food. Service was mediocre. Servers were not welcoming and rude at points. Wanted to speak to the manager to express how I felt. The manager was very rude and claimed she “knows how to run her business”. I never said anything that was even related to that. Overall, the food was good but won’t be going back unfortunately.

Don’t let the strip mall fool you, this is absolutely a tier 1 restaurant in Rochester.

Over priced food and drinks, in a small crowded loud dinning room. Steak wasn’t cooked as ordered, would of expected for the price paid – they would know how to cook a steak as ordered. Brussel sprouts, not that good. Wedge salad and roll best part of meal.
