Max's Positive Vibe Café - Richmond

Love this cozy restaurant ... great food you can't get elsewhere and very affordable! Love the concept of this place in training those with disabilities. Had a private party here a couple years ago and the help with planning the event was great. Staff was great in accommodating my wishes and everyone who attended were very impressed. I know new customers were gained that night. If you are disabled and looking for a great accessible restaurant, this is the place :

For the first time at Max's, although I've known about it for years. Technically a band went to hear, but also dinner. The acoustics were great and the band (The Hullabaloo's) sounded great. The food was delicious. I had the winter soup and 1/2 sandwich, plate. The soup was a combination of butternut squash and pumpkin pure, spices, bourbon and cream, which was covered with curved almonds and pumpkin seeds, and the sandwich was turkey, brie cheese, spinach and cranberries, grilled for perfection. Both were great. Our waitress was also the bartender and she made the night even better because she was really happy to be there, smiling, polite and attentive.

We love Max's and the food is delish. Doesn't have a bad special. And the cocktails are just from this world. Shown is the dirty snowman, the apple spiced Bellini and some of the weekly specials.

I made my first visit today for lunch and was immediately impressed by the cozy atmosphere in the room. All employees were welcoming and actually seemed to care for their jobs – a rarety in many restaurants in this price class! My medium-sized Bisonburger was excellent. On my next visit, I'm going over the sweet potatoes for her apple-wine slave. (I can be seduced into ordering the vegan Calamari, especially from curiosity - heart of the palm instead of squid or octopus. All in all, it was a very pleasant lunch. We have to go back to dinner menu.

Vegan and vegetarian options! This our go-to place when we can’t decide where to eat because their food is so good and have quite a variety. Good beer selection. Not a great wine selection. Full bar. Live music on some nights. The music is good but it can be loud so check for live music before you go if that’s not your thing.
