Max Lager's Wood-Fired Grill & Brewery

So, a few weeks ago was my first experience. I happened upon the restaurant and was drawn in off the street from the façade. The host greeted me, and I expressed I was a bar patron by nature. From that point I was gestured to the bar on street level. The bar was almost full, and when approaching I was gruffly greeted by fellow patrons warning me of a wait time on beverages. Not to be discouraged, I found out there was a bar upstairs!
Now, I have no idea why the host did not mention this in the first place, but it was the MOVE! Upstairs entailed a great patio with a view of the city, a view on the brewing vats which I didn't know existed as that this is a BrewPub, and I had the pleasure of meeting Vince! Not only did he turn my initial impression around but I brought some colleagues the following day who could only rave of his hospitality! Go to Max for the beer, stay for Vince's southern hospitality!

WOW! We had planned our event a long time ago, pre covid, and were not sure if we could move forward. Thanks to the integrity and passion of owner Alan LeBlanc, the rehearsal dinner was held on schedule. Anthony and his team were so helpful and friendly. The staff ... provided excellent service, and seemed like friends by the end of the night. The drinks ... delicious Max Lager's beers and cocktails. The food ... outstanding! ... every dish exceeded our expectations for quality!!! The best part? The atmosphere. What a comfortable and unique setting. We are so looking forward to the re-opening and going back to Max Lager's again. THANK YOU ALAN!!!

One of my fav spots for quality american food. Loved this place from the first taste. Prices were fair for the quality of the food.

Went from nearby hotel to find late snack,10:00pm. This was recommended by the valet. Good feel when finally got in (was walking and dark almost went in back door). Loved the decor and atmosphere. Only had pizza and drink. Was alone so service was sketchy at times even though not very busy. However, food runner and another waitress were very attentive. I’m sure getting ready to close. I would definitely go back and take the family.

What a great place! The atmosphere was wonderful with the brewery to be seen from our seat. We had a wonderful waitress who was quick with the drinks. The meal was delicious and the picture should speak for itself. The brisket had a good char on one end and the bacon was thick and crispy! I highly recommend this establishment for dining.
