Absolutely brilliant place! Great service, great American Diner food & drinks. I had chipotle, honey & maple chicken kebab & it was delicious. Also, had the boozy milkshake which was delicious & too easy to drink. Big portions. Good value. Lovely location. Best to book especially at weekends.

I've been to Max's American Diner four or five times now, and every single visit has been consistently outstanding. The food is full of flavour, with great variety and generous portions ? you really get amazing value for money.
The flavours are simply faultless, and the portion sizes never disappoint. The newly updated decor adds a fantastic touch, giving the place an authentic American diner feel.
This is a small, family-run business, and you can feel the care that goes into everything. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality meal in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
? Please make sure to pre-book ? as a family-run diner, they care deeply about avoiding food waste and preparing fresh, quality meals for every guest.

It's my 3rd time at Max's and honestly it never disappoints! The quality and quantity of food you get for the price is not comparable to anywhere in Crawley area. You can taste the passion for food in every bite, always fresh and full of flavor. Make sure to book to avoid disappointment though!

We were so lucky! Rocked up here having never been before but knew friends had. Didn?t know we had to book but fortunately the owner and lovely staff let us order and we sat outside. We both ordered the Stilton burgers which are super generous and come with onion rings and fries! I had a peanut butter milkshake and Terry had a blueberry muffin one. Freshest of ingredients and everything perfectly cooked and picture perfect presentation.
I highly recommend but definitely advise you book to avoid disappointment.

Food was excellent...portions are very generous, so doggy bag was needed. Service was great, very friendly and helpful. Decor is great, and fabulous music playing. Just loved the building, and great for parking

We went there for Father?s Day this year and were really impressed by everything, the food was amazing and huge portions all freshly cooked, excellent value for money. The staff were extremely friendly and couldn?t do enough for you. Thoroughly recommend Max?s Diner, we will certainly be back soon.

Food was bang on! A little tight but the place is small so not a lot can be done. Service was good, friendly maybe could have cleared the table a little more as we went to help with space. Julie offered a personal touch as was friendly which was nice.
Will definitely be returning as food was goooooooood. Maybe in winter as it got pretty hot in there, almost unbearable at times, maybe an ac unit or fan would help.

Having found this lovely place on Google Maps I decided to take a detour with the kids to check it out.......as a walk-in.
Please, for the love of god, look at their website first and do not go if you haven't booked.
Having now looked at their website I can see that walk-ins are very much not welcome here and that is made very clear, however, as someone prone to acts of spontaneity, I did not look at the website and, in the absence of any signage on the outside, made the mistake of entering this hallowed ground without a booking.
My extra-sensory perception not being what it once was, I mistook the look of consternation on the hostess's face as constipation, not disapproval and was subsequently made to feel very uncomfortable.
The decor is amazing, not sure about the confederate flag but I'm sure it's well meant.
