About this business

Warm wood undertones first attract discerning diners to this treasured Fresno joint. A great place to bring the family or enjoy with friends, Max's Bistro & Bar not lives up to its name with a French-inspired menu and delicious wine list but also delights with fresh baked goods and a distinct California flair. It's a neighborhood place at heart, explaining the friendly service and casual ambiance. Dishes worth trying in the past have included mini crab cakes, ahi tostadas, coconut prawns, and house-made ravioli. Be sure to b... read more

Steak OUT! – Our party of two beat out the after church crowd by about 20 minutes. Warmly greeted at the door, ushered to a table, we rejected, and selected a more suitable table. A group party of 12 was already in progress, with gifts, in the back, by the restrooms. Our female server was polite and smiling. She gave us our menus, gave us some time, brought us our drinks, read the specials, and returned to take our order. Everything on the lunch menu sounded delicious. I ordered a New York steak. Joan (not her real name) ord... read more

Max's Bistro – Max?s Bistro has become quite the Fresno staple. Whatever your fancy -- be it fresh baked bread, premium wine or the latest in French-inspired California Cuisine -- Max?s is sure to satisfy your every whim. To begin, we tasted the Thai Coconut Prawns with Mango Coulis and Thai dipping sauces. The textures of the succulent prawn, crispy coconut and sweet sauce all worked together marvelously.Also from the appetizer list were Crab Cakes with house-made tartar sauce, which were nice and crispy and not at all on t... read more

Vacation quality – Upon entering the artistically decorated dining room one can't help but feel they have been transported to a vacation hotspot. The menu is equally satisfying and well priced for the high quality. My pomegranite martini was delightful and the service was excellent. It was a lovely place to celebrate my birthday. The food was amazing!

Poor service. – A real disappointment. I went to Max's to have a nice dinner this evening. What I received was a snub job by the wait staff. I have dined at Max's on many occations, and have always received excellent service, but not this evening. I arrived at the restaurant shortly after 8pm. The tables in the restaurant were 2/3 to 3/4 full. I was a single diner. After a brief wait, I was seated at a small table. The busboy brought me water as I waited for the server to acknowledge my table. He never once looked in my dire... read more

What a rip-off – Went there with a group of 24. They add a 20% gratuity and they added $50 + to our bill. Said they just added someone elses order to our bill but they certainly added the 20% tip to the extra charge. We will never go back.

Yuuuum – Scott has done an amazing job with this place. Great combination of food from casual style entrees to genuine bistro fare. Good value for dinner and the addition of take-out pre packaged foods is nice too. You absolutely must have one of the Lemon Bars.

Max's Market and Bakery combines great deli food with a sunny, friendly atmosphere. – The Scene: With fresh wildflowers in pails on the shiny concrete floor, a nice selection of bottled wines, and freshly baked loaves of bread stacked in cubbies on the back wall, Max's is more than a typical deli. Max's has a delicious selection of sandwiches, salads, and appetizers, and guests may eat inside or outside on the enclosed patio. Casual dress is appropriate. If you order one thing: The The Pan-Roasted Rosemary Chicken Breast is ... read more
