    The buffet on Mother’s Day was absolutely delicious. Our server was so busy but he always checked on us ladies (party of 4 plus baby) and made sure we had what we needed. The buffet consisted of a huge variety of choices - and a bottomless mimosa bar!! Everything was delicious!

    We really like this restaurant. While Auburn has many good places to eat, Max's is one of the few places that feels a bit "nicer". So while the food is good (if not spectacular) the service is always pleasant and attentive, the atmosphere fairly quiet, and it feels "civilized". Note: However, the bar, situated in the middle of the restaurant, can become a bit loud, in which case all bets are off. All it takes is for one lonely patron on a bar stool to be having a conversation with the bartender, and everyone in the restaurant can hear it.
