There are many great dining spots in Geelong, this is not one of them. Waited 45 mins for dinner and then it was disgusting! Steak was overcooked, salad was tired! We ate simply because we were starving by the time it got to us. I did complain about it and duty manager couldnt care less. Thank god the music was good, it saved the night. Never eat there again!

Approximate cost: $20

I'm a bit disappointed with The Max since they changed hands recently. We used to eat there quite a bit as it's very close to our work, and we could order meals in advance to save some time. The last time we ate there, it was terribly cold inside, and some items on the menu were not available (found this out when we tried to order them). The food is always good though, and it seems quite a popular spot on the weekends.

The Max Hotel is a good spot for a night out if you want live music and an older crowd. Their beer garden on the ground level is fantastic, a large area with lots of tables and nicely presented. I had heard some bad stories about function there, but I had a good time when I went to a 40th birthday in one of the room on an upper level. They provided a lot of finger food, and we had our own private bar. Overall a good venue.

went there last nite for a xmas break up, brill ant place, fantastic food at a great price and heaps of menu options

The Max Hotel had a Great atmosphere, friendly staff & good service. All Meals were of a very high standard. Definitely be back... Fantastic location

Approximate cost: $17

I think the meals at the max are generally pretty good value and the bar is usually pretty busy which creates a good atmosphere. I think the staff need to improve even including a blonde girl who I think was the manager, i had been in there once before for work reasons trying to sell theme some advertising, this time I had come back as a paying customer and she was quiet rude when i first walked in.

Approximate cost: $10+

we had a family birthday, the food service and atmosphere was wonderful. The desserts were to die for. we used a voucher so it was a bit cheaper but still pretty good value for money
