Follow the 50's style music in the Max's Classic American Grill. Home of great burger and great deli sandwiches and we had to give it a try.

Max Classic American Grill

1881 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Amherst

(716) 691-8181

 

You walk in and it's so dim in there but the atmosphere feels great. Felts like we took a retro time warp into the 50's and the place is fully decorated with that theme. 

Of course I started of with drink. Pina Colada

The  Pina Colada looked alot better in the drinks menu that they had but it tasted great overall. 

The sad part is til this day I think that they did not put a drop alcohol in it but I paid alcoholic prices.  

So over all was not happy with the Drink =(

It was soo0o dim in the place that I had to use the mega flash just so that you can get an idea of what we were eating. 

We started of with.....

 Wet Shoes

It's Hand cut fries top with "Serious Chilli"  (they call it serious chilli), 

cheddar cheese, scallions, and sour cream. 

It was soooooooo loaded like we underestimated how loaded it would be. 

This was just the appetizer and we were so full. 

The chili was not spicy at all it was just right!!

Up next was our New York Style Dinner. 

We have been to Katz  in NYC before so this was really nice to have.

It was a Ruben, thinly sliced corn beef on grilled rye bread with sauerkraut and swiss cheese and it came with a side of thousand island dressing. , served with hand cut fries and a side of baked beans.

Usually when we have a Ruben it has alot more corned beef in it, but then again it's like $15- $20 bucks and we got this for $8.99 but after the wet shoes I was so0o full it was beyond belief.

3 out of 5

Overall it was a nice place. The food was great, you really get your money's worth. I felt full until like noon the next day, but the service was crazy slow. Like we got there for lunch and it felt that we were having dinner. The service was horrible, the waitress would come like once in a blue moon. It seemed like that case might have been that they were just understaffed for the moment but who knows what the issue was. But it is a place that I would love to try again.

Kabab & Curry

I loved this place. The atmosphere was crazy awesome,it was very romantic and family friendly at the same time.

I could very much imagine having a wedding reception at this place,

the decor was very original and it something that one does not see in Buffalo often.

The atmospher was so nice that I did not want to kill it by taking alot of photos but now I really wish I would've.

But of course there was one issue. We got the worse waitress in the whole place. 

Like the WORST. 

We don't know if she was new or something but that is no excuse as to why the service was the way that it was. 

She completely messed up our order and we literally got served like 1 hour after we got there.

People that came in to the restaurant before us were in and out before we even touched our food.  

 

‎We ended up ordering a lot  when we went but it was because they were have the $20.10 for 2 dinner special so we definably took advantage of it.

From Upper left hand corner

• Chicken Biryani-mixture of spices, basmati rice, and flavored saffron. James had ordered it as spicy but the waitress brought out a mild. It was like lady were you listening at all?? I came with chicken and is serve with  yogurt on the side.

• Nann

• Mango Lasi - Sweet, mango- flavored, yogurt drink

• Rose Lasi-  Sweet, Rose- flavored, yogurt drink. Literally taste like I was tasting a rose. Not so bad actually it was great =)

• My dish was a tomato based dished but I don't remember the name of it.I was actually craving that today.

Kabab and Curry was great! The atmosphere was 1 in a million. Great for a romantic dinner or even a family dinner. The food was soo delicious. Prices were very fair compared to the portions that were given. Be careful of the waitress with the sign "Major Train Wreck" written on her face.  The other waiters and waitresses were very tentative of us so it canceled out the dark side of the experience. The owner was nice enough to give us a coupon as we left. Til this day we wonder if it's because he knows that the girl messed up or because he wanted all of his customers to return. but I would definitive recommend this restaurant to anyone. Tip make sure your not going anywhere after because you might get a really bad tummy ache.

4 out of 5

We gave Sea Bar a 4 because the size of the location. It's very small but I see it as a more intimate place. The amount of food for the price is reasonable. but One would probably have to order two or three dishes to be full, then making the order very pricey. But their dishes were so original  and had such great presentation, that there is no way that you won't enjoy this place. The service was awesome and I would recommend this bar for anyone that would like to spend a bit more money for original food.
