Max's Restaurant & Bar

Nice spot. Had dinner with friends and it was a nice location that wasn't too loud but felt lively. Food was decent. I had the burger and it was nice and most but had a good little crust. Wife had the spaghetti and insisted on taking the leftovers home. Must've been tasty. Kids had Alfredo and ate it all. All in all it was pretty good. Price came out to about $23/person.

I had the tuscan chicken and it was daum good. The Holiday Inn is absolutely lucky to have this restaurant attached to them it makes the stay here in town much more pleasurable to know that I could walk down the hall and have a decent meal in a real restaurant with actual people though people that are not just hotel guests. Locals come here! Best holiday inn restaurant i have had in my 93 nights in hotels since January.

I grew up at Max’s in Marin and the first time I came here, it was fantastic. The matzo balls were small but I got two of them which were closer to the amount I remember. It tasted exactly how I remember from my childhood.

However, today it was off. I’m not sure if there was a new chef or if I got the last dregs of their latest batch, but the broth didn’t taste quite as flavorful as normal, there was no butter with my rolls and the bowl I ordered was mostly over cooked chicken with just a couple noodles and veggies tossed in. I also got only one very small matzo ball for my bowl (pictured).

While I still absolutely recommend them and will return, I’m a little sad about this trip and suggest other take out customers check their order before they leave.

Looking for a Happy Hour spot or a restaurant to enjoy a delicious salad? Max's Restaurant and Bar boast of having "everything you've always wanted to eat". They have a high-quality menu with fresh ingredients. The Cobb salad was generously portioned and prepared to perfection. Happy Hour is Monday-Friday from 3 to 6pm and Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 5 pm. The beer and wine selection is local and they have a full service bar. I would recommend the restaurant have live music on the patio. It would being in customers and they would stay longer. This would be a great Happy Hour date spot. Either sit on the patio for some privacy or find a cozy spot in the bar area. IG: SACRAMENTOHONEY
