Price: Expensive
• Seafood • Gloucester City
Booked 2 times today
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.

    First visit was this weekend. Overall experience was delightful. Food was awesome and prices were within reason of most high-end steakhouses. For a Sat night it wasn't overly crowded but attributed that to being summer and things are slower; however, we sat at what they consider the Captain's table (party of 7) and didn't feel rushed at all. The service by waiter Justin was impeccable. He was so attentive and his fabulous personality was our entertainment for the evening. Highly recommend a visit and make sure to ask if Justin is available.

    A retro cafe with classic and trendy food we had a mix off the menu and specials. The mussels were plump and flavorful calamari crispy but not over cooked. The scallops special was incredible please put on new menu also blackened mahi was flavorful. Tried chocolate mousse which is not overly sweet as dark chicolate; blueberry-lemon cheesecake perfect for summer and cappuccino creme brulee which might have kept me up late lol. We will be back as a new menu is in works.
