Today was our first time we were so impressed by the manger Adrian's attitude and the respect he showed to everyone he encounter including all the staff and kitchen staff. We will with out a doubt be back and will not hesitate to recommend this place to all of friends and family. The food was fantastic and great value for money and the friendly and inviting atmosphere was a perfect start to our Sunday. Adrian and the team on this morning should be commended for such wonderful service.
I had my 40th birthday celebration at Max's Corner and I cannot praise the food and service highly enough. We booked out the main room for around 50 people. The lead up to the function was excellent - great communication. Adrian who was in charge for the night understood our needs and the staff was amazing. Always smiling, never stopped, AMAZING food and plenty of it. It was one of the best birthday's I've ever had. I highly recommend Max's Corner for any function. It is family friendly, as well as we had 12 kids there and they had a ball. Thank you to Adrian and the team on the night who worked so hard to make the night such a memorable one!
We celebrated our daughter's 21st at Max's on Saturday night. Thank you very much Adrian for all your attention to detail with planning, wonderful food while looking after dietary requirements, and your attentive staff all night. Thanks Adam, Dean & team. It was the perfect venue for our special celebration.
We celebrated our parents 50th Wedding Anniversary at Max's Corner. We highly recommend this place for a private function. Adrian was an attentive manager who could not have done more for us. The food package was outstanding value and our guests were impressed by the quality, variety and amount. Adam worked efficiently and tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly. Overall a perfect afternoon.
Friendly staff who actually have normal conversations with you, good atmosphere, great food, top notch juices and coffees & decent prices would definitely recommend to anybody.
Came here for lunch and was taken by surprise. I absolutely enjoyed my experience here. The lamb salad is a must, and the veal on the lunch special is also amazing. Really appreciated the friendly staff here, they are genuine. Kudos to the chef. Would return.
Very good food. Loved the pizza.
Located right in the middle of a busy street. Easy to access.
Friendly service.
Child friendly ambience
We go there often
Great food, great service and great value. The food is always tasty, well seasoned and staff pay attention to the details. So many options to choose from the menu.
Our stay here for dinner was comfy and enjoyable. The food was tasty and good service, plus the good chats. We ordered Arancini Balls, Wedges, Bolognese, Minestrone and Vegetarian Gnocchi. After we ordered our food it arrived pretty quickly. We chatted and ate with the music which was the perfect volume and wasn’t annoying. The food was tasty and a normal size for all 4 of us and we finished it.
As I have already said the service was good and food was very tasty.
Absolutely love this place... Pizza, pasta, soup, and some delicious looking cakes (I’ve yet to try) as well as amazing service, and relaxing atmosphere.
The staff are absolutely lovely, always down for chit chat and are attentive to the needs of customers.
I would also like to add that in terms of dietary requirements (I am vegetarian), they are accommodating to the point where I can change the ingredients (this may be determined by how busy they are but always worth a shot)
Overall, great if your in the area or down for a drive to Essendon. Definitely coming back (the third time)

E: “Nobody puts baby in the corner” is the famous line from Dirty Dancing, however if it’s Max’s Corner, I’ll be sure to bring my baby. After my experience today, I’m definitely going to be back with Kevin.
From the minute my family walked into Max’s Corner, we were greeted with friendly smiles and a warm welcome very much alike coming back home after a long time away. The staff didn’t just attend to us when we needed, but made us feel so welcome and like family. Every conversation with our waiter felt meaningful and genuine, instead of the usual, I’m-going-to-ask-about-your-day-because-I-have-to attendant small talk. My parents were unsure what to order, however they were provided with amazing suggestions from our host without question. Incredible experience and ambience from such wonderful staff.
In terms of food, our pastas were one of the best I’ve tasted. I’ll be honest, it doesn’t taste like a “high end Italian restaurant” with the tiniest of portions, but instead, tasted what I can only imagine would be the dish your cute lil Italian Nonna makes you when you tell her you’re coming over for a Nonna Night. I guess even though I’m from an Asian ethnicity, I have a Nonna now. A Nonna named Max.
Firstly, the portions were HUGE!!!!!!!! (The photos are an illusion, I swear). For someone who usually finishes every piece on a dish, finishes my partners/friends meals and also has desert after, I can honestly say these portions were huge. So huge that I had to take some home in a take-out container.
In terms of taste, I swear as I was chewing each chunky piece of beef covered in the most hearty, delicious bolognese sauce, I could close my eyes and picture myself lazing on beautiful green grass overlooking the Leaning Tower of Pisa. People say love is a feeling, yet I could taste it in this meal. I could taste the love and hardwork put in to this meal. Hearty and homely is the best way to enjoy your pasta and that’s exactly the best way to describe my dining experience at Max’s Corner.

A nice place to dine casually and catch up with others. The staff are helpful. I have tried the trio dips entree, the grilled chicken salad and the eye fillet here; all were decent meals.
Service wasn't the best. Although the food was absolutely beautiful. very well cooked. Reasonably prices ane well presented
Had my function here for my mum's birthday and everyone had a great time. Lance was really accommodating and made sure all my guests were tended to. Food was really good and would definitely book another function in the future. Kudos to the team
Their food is so yummy and very generous in portions. Came here with my nieces and nephew, and they loved their breakfasts. Great customer service and we’re coming back again!
we visited it 2 days ago for breakfast and it was excellent, excellent fresh fruit juices and coffee which met my expectations. Excellent service.
