Aloha, and welcome to Max’s South Seas Hideaway! Featuring craft tiki cocktails and a gourmet food menu.

Due to Covid-19 we are only accepting online orders for takeout or delivery. We have expanded our menu to deliver non-alcoholic versions of our top-selling Classic and Signature Tiki Cocktails in a can, as well! Just add your own booze and quarantine yourself in the South Seas for the evening... or the day!

We're open for delivery or take out from 11:30am-2pm and 4pm-8pm, every day, and truly appreciate your patronage as we get through this rough time together. To show our gratitude, all orders come with a lei, a Max's swizzle stick and Max's sticker!

Mahalo & Stay Safe~
The Max's Team

    We were seated in the bar, so we didn't get the full ambiance experience like the rest of the restaurant seems to have. It also explains why the noise level was a little high. Service was excellent, our first server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menus but had to leave due to an emergency. The bartender took over, he was just as good and hilarious too. The food was very good... none of us felt "oh my god this is the best (blank) I've ever had", but it was very good. Cocktails were exotic and delicious. Overall, it was a worthwhile, entertaining and fun experience. We will go back, but not weekly... maybe in a few months again.

    The food is way too salty! The ribs, poke bowl and fried rice were ridiculously salty. Best dish is the fresh catch. Great cocktails! Only a few beer and wine choices. The ambiance is amazing. It's very hard to get in here, only by reservation on the weekends.

    I like this place because the food and decor and music all go well together, I wish there were more non fried food items but all in all it is a fun place

    Great food and atmosphere. It was a very busy night for them when we went. So our food took over 1 hour to get to us. Overall a great time!!

    Food was a bit pricey for what you get. It was quite dark which made it hard to read the menu.
