Max's Of Burlingame

Food tasted old. Ordered 2 desserts and the cheesecake tasted like it were in the freezer for a year first. The cake was moist. That was good. Ordered a turkey dinner and Chinese chicken salad. The salad had hardly any peanuts and absolutely no dressing at all. None. The peanuts that were on there looking the the size and amazing you’d find in a McDonald’s sundae. It also had way too much green onion. Little to no wantons. The turkey dinner looked like deli turkey. We had to ask for bread which was stale. This place use to have really good food and a nice busy atmosphere. No more. The service was fantastic though.

We ate at Max’s in Redwood City many times and enjoyed the food especially the crab cakes, the chopped salad and the pastrami sandwich. Unfortunately, that restaurant is now closed. The food at the Burlingame restaurant was a disappointment. My pastrami sandwich was extremely dry almost inedible. Also the rye bread wasn’t toasted so the bread fell apart with each bite. The chopped salad wasn’t what I expected and what i had eaten at the Redwood City restaurant just some lettuce, croutons and a few pieces of chopped carrots and bell pepper. We probably won’t be back to this restaurant.

Once such a great restaurant. Needs a serious upgrade. Looks old and worn. Food was ok. Not as good as years past. Unfortunately, the wrong profession for our server. Difficult time with conversation, no check back, and super slow service. Once a go to for me. Not until changes are made.

Food was good, but that was about it. Even though I had a reservation, I was seated in what appeared to be the lounge area that had one server assigned to it. She was clearly overworked, and wasn’t able to be even minimally attentive to anybody in her section, including myself.
