All the seafood was perfectly seasoned and cooked correctly. The chicken parm was also made the right way and very good. The calamari with marinara was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. I’ve been to seafood restaurants in Point Beach, Brooklyn, Sea Isle, Cape May, Philly, and more and this is the BEST seafood restaurant I’ve ever been to.

Max's Café was built in 1890 as a shoe store. In 1912, 34 North Burlington Street reopened as Leisinger's Saloon for the next 25 years even through prohibition (as a "soft drink establishment"). In 1937, Leisinger's Saloon passed through the family & was renamed Max's Cafe; it’s name for the next 65 years. In 1977, a new simply prepared fresh seafood menu transformed Max's Cafe into Max’s Seafood Café. The neighboring building was acquired to seat the growing number of patrons from both sides of the Delaware River, often forming lines around the corner, waiting to enjoy fresh flounder, shrimp, clams, & most of all, Steamed Mussels! Max's reputation grew for the next 22 years before age & neglect left it in a state of disrepair. The bar restaurant closed in July of 1998 & remained dormant for 2 ½ years. Refurbished in late 2000, Max's Seafood Cafe reopened on June 2, 2001 to continue its tradition of hospitality, impeccably fresh seafood, & most of all Steamed mussels.

The definition of a hidden gem. It seems to appear out of nowhere in the middle of a neighborhood but don't let that fool you. The food and service always rivals what you would get in any fancier location. We've been here a few times and have never had less than a perfect experience.
