Max's Restaurant & Bar

"This is a really nice restaurant at the Holiday Inn in Auburn. Of course it's great for travelers but wonderful for locals as well. I had a great Cobb Salad and my friend had kind of delicious shrimp dish, along with mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. The bartender was our server because we ate in the bar and he recommended the top shelf Margarita, which was excellent."

"This is the best place to stop traveling on I-80 to Tahoe. The sandwiches here are killer. The Patty Melt and the Pastrami are the best. Service is friendly too."

"If you are looking for a nice quiet traditional place to eat, this is it. The menu isn't overcomplicated, and the food is delicious."

"We have been coming here off and on for years and have always enjoyed the variety of the menu. The full bar provides lots of options for drinks. This last time we both ordered off the sandwich menu. The chicken melt looked perfect with a combination of avocado and caramelized onions, but was disappointed that there was no bread choice. The bread was grilled and, as a result, very greasy. The same was true for the Reuben, which was ordered without sauerkraut. The greasiness of the bread distracted away from the sandwich. We very much enjoyed the pretzel and cheese sauce appetizer, and our cocktails were great. Weren't offered any bread, and noticed later everyone else received it. Finally, ordered a slice of carrot cake to go, and for $8 you would expect a slice much larger than 2" at the widest side. We'll return, but will likely order differently."
