Max's Brick Oven Cafe

I ordered the lemon shrimp pasta with oregano and it was absolutely tasteless. I could have easily made it better myself at home. There was no oregano on it and our server gave us salt and pepper probably because she already knew it had no seasoning and wasn’t prepared the way it was supposed to be. Very overpriced for the quality or lack thereof that you get. Our server was nice though and the atmosphere was great.

The jambalaya that I ordered might be the worst I've ever eaten. Never seen a jambalaya sooo watery and tasteless to thr point of uneatable. The thin crusted pizza is so pale looks like its sick. They put us in the yard since we don't have reservations the table is wobbly and many flies, spiders visited us. While the other tables have table clothes, spinning straps to repel the flies, ours don't. Because we didn't order expensive alcohol, the waitress showed us we were not the worthy customers. 🤮

So very disappointing. I had been hyping up the chicken flatbread sandwich, only to find they changed it up along with the fries. It was bland. Not good. My bf got the lemon oregano chicken and it also was terribly bland. We sat for a while with no server. When we did get one, we weren't offered the drink menu so had to just pick something. I had to ask for the bread they have always just brought to the table in the past. Drinks went unfilled and just wasn't worth the money or fighting the cold for a date night out. I have no issues with paying higher pricing for a delicious meal with great service and an inviting atmosphere but sadly Max's isn't on my list of must haves now. Dining in Paducah is so hit or miss anyway but to spend a nice chunk of change and go away with a bad taste in your

I had the Philly cheesesteak it was pretty good. My date had some kind of pasta with chicken which tasted pretty decent but as apposed to just having nice pieces of chicken, they had tiny little cubes of chicken that where barely visible. Do Beter yall. Server was great

Great food and atmosphere! Portion sizing was great! The ingredients tasted very fresh, and service is fast! Our waitress, Maddy was very kind and friendly. Would definitely come back if I wasn't passing on through.
