The calamari and clams casino were amazing. The mussels in white were very good but I’ve also had better. I was most impressed with the steak as it was cooked perfectly and very tender. Their bread with garlic butter was also one of our faves. The other dishes were also tasty.

Max’s is a small bar/restaurant. The bar is separate from the dining room. The dining room is on the smaller side, but comfy. Service was very good. Looked like the bar tender was pulling double duty servicing tables as well.
We began by ordering drinks, it was our anniversary. I ordered a Manhattan, as usual, my wife had a pomegranate martini. She enjoyed the martini, my Manhattan was OK, but nothing to write home about. I love my Manhattans. We both ordered soup and our entrée. I had the gumbo and my wife had the New England Clam Chowder. The gumbo was delish. Tons of andue sausage and the right amount of spice. My wife’s chowder was good as well. It wasn’t as heavy as others, and I don’t think it has as much cream, which we both enjoyed. Interesting addition, the bread had a small dish of garlic butter. It was good, but I’m not a garlic butter fan. A bit later the entrée was served. My wife had the scallop special which came on a bed of capellini. I ordered the all you can eat mussels. My mussels were really good, served on linguini and 2 pieces of garlic bread. Once the first order of mussels were done, they brought out the appetizer mussels which didn’t have the pasta and bread. The mussels were made fresh each time and were piping hot. My wife ended the nite with the espresso creme brulee. That was delicious. It has a sugar cinnamon glaze on the top that was really delicious. In all, a good night out. We spent about 55 – 60 dollars per person, not including tip.

I enjoyed dining here! My party arrived late. While waiting, the server was very attentive. Even after they arrived, she was attentive. At times, a little ro much. Perhaps she wa being mindful if closing time (2 hrs later), but we felt a little rushed. The food was delicious. I left my food but quickly returned to find the server had placed it on the bar. She must have known I would circle back. I look forward to dining here again soon, and having everyone on time!

Spicy. Red. Mussels.
Goodness in a setting that has stayed authentic for over a hundred years.
I really hesitated before posting this, because some local treasures deserve to be protected, and not get all kinds of traffic from all over the country; but this bar and restaurant has so many stories from so many generations, evident in the decor, the service, the live music, the neighbors meeting for a drink, and most of all, the incredible spicy red mussels.

Absolutely delicious from start to finish. The ambiance is cozy and comfortable. The mussels and calamari appetizers were so refreshing and the calamari wasn’t overly fried. The crab Mac and cheese had a really good amount of crab in it and was delicious. It wasn’t heavy and it was enough for me to bring some home. My husband had scallops with truffle mashed potatoes and asparagus which was to die for. Our server Karen was so friendly and very accommodating when it came to my allergies. We will definitely be coming back.

Driven by this place a few times before, but never went in. Finally went in Saturday. I sat at the bar by myself, but still had a great time. Alesha and John were super cool and helpful with the recommendations. Seafood pescatore with red spicy sauce was

Such beautiful architecture in this quaint restaurant. They have preserved the beauty by keeping the decor simple and relevant. There are so many good selections on the menu, so flavorful! I ordered the specials, fried green tomatoes and homemade gnocchi in a blush sauce. The server was kind and attentive, and the other staff so friendly. There is also a private parking lot across the street. Definitely will be back!

Want to eat in an olde tavern in Gloucester City NJ, this is the spot. Food got 4 stars because they did not have everything o. The menu which was a bit of a downer. However the food we had was top notch. Little high price.

I tried this place with my wife for Valentine’s and even though it was a pre fixe menu, the food was very good. The ambience was warm like a stereotypical Irish Pub. Wood bar area, exposed brick walls, and just an all-around inviting atmosphere. I would go back to try the full menu.

To start off the new year, I would like to share with you a café I’ve heard so much about lately, but have not had a chance to visit until now. Max’s Seafood Cafe in Gloucester City, New Jersey.
If it wasn’t for our anniversary dinner plans being foiled in Collingswood, we might still have not tried out this local spot. It’s been on my radar, but for one reason or another, we haven’t had the chance to give it a try.
Upon driving up to it’s location, we loved it instantly. We are Philly people, my husband (Will Sachs) and I, so street parking rarely bothers us. We did find out from our server later on that they have a parking lot nearby.
We did make a reservation just in case because we had issues in Collingswood just before. It appeared we didn’t need them, but they were busy. So it’s definitely a good idea to reserve a table if you are planning to eat there and not at the bar.
Max’s dates back to 1890. The wood trim and historic details throughout are a sight to be seen. The lighting and seating is comfortable and inviting for an intimate night out.
Food – there were SO many choices, we decided to go with four appetizers: Max’s Famous Mussels in white garlic sauce, their famous Avocado Crab Fritter, Crispy Calamari, and Crab Dip. ALL were delicious! And I don’t want to forget to mention the addictive garlic butter that comes with the complementary warm bread. Yum!!
We left enough room for dessert. And I am so happy that we did! We had the chocolate mousse and the cannolis. These are the best cannolis I have had in years! And I’m a bit critical. Will devoured the chocolate mousse. Definitely getting these next time.
Each patron we met was absolutely wonderful and confident that we would enjoy your dinner. We gave a thumbs up to one of them as we left!
If you haven’t been to Max’s Seafood Café, run to try it out, don’t walk! And you don’t have to like seafood. They had plenty of items on the menu to make any taste bud water.
If you follow me on social media, don’t be surprised if you see us tag them a few times more in the future. I feel like we are going to become regulars!
