Max’s Deli & Catering — Restaurant in California

Heard good things about the place but came away very disappointed. It's nothing special. This is one of those places where the "great" ratings are submitted by people who cannot cook or don't want to make an effort.

First, it's not a deli - it's a sandwich shop. Second, the sandwich was no better than what you can get from at a grocery store - but at a higher price. Reminded me of a "deli" in a business center that is the only option for those working nearby.

Beyond the basic food, the staff only cared about their regulars. The person taking our order barely acknowledged us and seemed almost embarrassed to be working there. There was also a strong political vibe coming from one staff member who was wearing political apparel and loudly making comments about candidates and parties. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, but it's inappropriate when the vibe in the business makes someone feel uncomfortable and almost unwelcome.

I cannot recommend and...

Max’s Deli is The BEST DELI in Auburn Ca., Placer County and Maybe in Northern California! I’ve traveled a lot, Delis are some of my favorite places to eat, Max and All of the people that Max has working with Him have GREAT PERSONALITIES, WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND SO KIND!!! Max cures, cooks, pickles and has created/developed the best ingredients for his menu!!! Plus if you don’t see exactly what you want on his menu, the staff will always do everything in there power to make sure you get what you want! My wife and I have our favorite sandwich the #50 Brisket Banh Mi! It’s Pastrami brisket(made in house) on a white roll with mayo, red cabbage, matchstick carrots, cilantro, fresh jalapeños and there in house made sweet & spicy banh mi sauce. Hands down the best Pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had! All sandwiches come with Kettle Chips, Nine different flavors...

We stumbled apoun this wonderful resturant one day when we were craving a good sandwhich. Looking up their menu we thought everything sounded good, may as well give it a shot! When you walk in, Max's has a nice down to earth home feel, and a very personal interaction makes you feel welcomed. But the food? The Sandwhiches are beyond amazing, fresh avocado and greens on Cibatta or whatever you please. But let's take a moment of silence for my sweet tooth because their dessert bars are undeniably sinful. But you know what's the best out of all of it? Everything is a beyond reasonable price and you get to say "Hi" to Max yourself. If you are in Auburn passing through or whatever it may be, stop in to Max's trust me...
