Maxdons Bar and Grill

The steaks are definitely top-tier here. The salad bar is awesome, all of the food I've had was excellent. The atmosphere is awesome, and the people there (patrons and staff) make me feel absolutely welcome every time I go. Definitely not a cheap place to chill, but a very nice spot nonetheless

One of the best places I've been to. Excellent atmosphere; my friend Caleb, who is a local, recommended this joint. The cowboy rolls were one of the best appetizers I've had in my life, and the burger was exceptional. Food prices were great! Bartenders were super friendly and helpful, would absolutely recommend this place.

Favorite local dive bar. My favorite spot for a salad and cheeseburger. The staff are all super nice and friendly.

They are not kidding with their advertisement, Best Steak in Town! Great food, good drinks and excellent service. Our new date night spot!

14 oz rib eye was AMAZING! It was so juicy and melted in my mouth. Great seasoning too. Mashed potatoes were creamy and the garlic bread was so yummy.

Great food in a fun dive bar. The staff really make the place amazing, especially the bar tender (Serena?). Would be a solid 5 stars if their AC worked better! I'll definitely be back, but sadly I'll probably wait until after summer. Update: still just as good and now with working AC - 5 stars well deserved!

Just go here. You’ll love it. Great service and good food.

They have the best steaks in town. I really can't recommend this place enough it's a local secret steakhouse. Most locals know this place is the place to go for steaks. Best drinks best steaks. Best salad bar in town. Best comfortable booth. Best bartenders. Best waitresses. If you're going to knock it I guess it does not have an air conditioner it only has a swamp cooler on those super hot days sometimes you notice..

Love MAXDONS. For many years. It is part of Lancaster's BEST!!! GOOD EVERYTHING!

actions speak louder than words . I went there on a Tuesday after the gym . they open at 11 am I was there to eat . ordered a 19 oz ribeye with Mac and cheese , comes with garlic bread and a salad bar . no one in town beats there service or there tasty perfectly cut choice of beef . the coolest part is the hostess is the waitress and bartender and cook and cleans up . she definitely got my compliments on the way out the door . sharing cause I care about others getting let down .

My son just turned 21 so I brought him in for his first time. As usual, great atmosphere, great service and truly the best steak in town.

This is a very interesting and unique place... it looks and feels super fancy and the food and cocktails are great, and yet there is a salad bar a la Wendy's from the 90s. Authentic and unique and very good, and cool folks can be met there from all walks of life.

I really enjoyed this place . The food was very yummy and flavorful . The steaks are huge . The drinks have the option for a large size so I got a large midori sour for like 15$: the environment is very chill . Not packed . Plenty of parking. Didn’t get to take photos of the food but it’s a place I would love to come back to. Definitely recommend if your a steak enthusiast

We like Maxdons because it's cozy and has good food. I especially like the salad bar as they are so hard to find around town. My wife likes the steaks. We'll be back again and again!

Went here for lunch with a co-worker that told me about it. I had the 19oz Ribeye, and during another visit from work I also tried the build your own burger. All the meat was fantastic. The Ribeye and burger were cooked perfectly. The service was excellent also, the female servers kept our drinks full, and consistently checked in with us to ensure everything was good. I took my Father here on a Sunday afternoon, and he enjoyed it also. Very comfortable on a hot day, dimly lit, very relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

First time here. We order some ribeyes they were pretty good, they have a salad bar which was nice, self serve. Service was ver nice

This is a nice dive bar, with 'seat yourself' indoor or patio dining. And as the sign says, they serve "the best steaks in town." Steaks include a side and a trip to a well stocked All-You-Can-Eat soup & salad bar. Which comes in handy, because depending on the size of the crowd, it could take awhile for you to get your steak. Because they cut them and cook them to order, on a little open fire grille in the back of the room. But when it finally arrives, you'll be glad that you waited. The steaks are charbroiled to perfection. Unfortunately the service can be a little hit or miss. And the restrooms are embarrassingly tiny, but at least they are clean.

I'm giving 4 for service... Our server was great, but the 2nd bartender put loud music on while we were watching the 5th World Series Dodgers game. It only had about 30-40 mins left, not necessary! Everyone was watching the TVs.. If the costumers wanted the music on, they would've turned on the jukebox... I liked the atmosphere. The steaks were good. If u like garlic mashed potatoes, you gotta try theirs. Of course the drinks were good. But, I was actually pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the food, too.

Great food, great ambient, but honestly the cocktail prices are really really bad, like even for California and 2025 I don’t think it’s okay for ask 17 for a old fashioned… I hope they read this and adjust that piece, because I would love to be a regular of this place.
