Bistro Maximum in Viernheim

No longer worth visiting since the change of ownership. Higher prices with less performance is a really bad idea.

About a week ago I ordered a Swabian salad and a salad with chicken strips to take away. After I had digested the shock of the price (€31.60), I noticed at home that there was no bread and the dressing was completely different and of poor quality. In addition, the Maultaschen were fried with egg...that wasn't the case before. The portions were also smaller than usual. The best is yet to come: about 2 hours after eating the Swabian salad, I spent the night in the toilet. It was definitely the egg....🤢🤮 To date, I have not received a response to an email sent directly to the bistro. Thanks for that and goodbye. It's a shame that Andrea and Gerrit's reputation is being so damaged.

The new "Maxim's" is a failure from a gastonomist point of view. I was invited there for a birthday, there were 12 of us. Service totally overwhelmed. It started with the fact that the reservation was not entered, even though it was confirmed twice by phone. We were then seated at a table that was actually reserved for another group an hour later. Well, when we finally sat down, over half an hour passed before we were noticed and allowed to order drinks. The nice young man had difficulty writing down the first two drinks. Well, another quarter of an hour had passed by the time everyone had ordered their drinks. All twelve of us had already chosen food (with two menus for everyone) but that was only included on the second attempt. Unfortunately, drinks didn't arrive. Our neighbor's table arrived an hour later than us and had drinks after 10 minutes. After waiting an incredible 1 1/2 hours and asking twice, we still didn't have any drinks. We then decided to leave the restaurant. When asked whether the boss was there to discuss this in person, another Keller replied with the counter question: "Why??". Apparently the staff was happy that we were leaving and that it would mean less work for them. No compensation or anything similar was offered. As a The excuse was that the blame was placed on the predecessors: they accepted too many reservations and there were too few staff at the moment. However, the reservations were accepted 100% by the new tenants/owners. Very unprofessional in my opinion. We will never come back. Unfortunately, or maybe it's better, I can't rate the food that way because we weren't even served drinks.

My husband and I went to the new Maxim's, the old Maximum, in Viernheim yesterday. The food was delicious as always and a lot. The service was very, very friendly and attentive. The menu has become smaller. The food and drinks didn't take long to arrive either. Good luck and keep it up 👍

We wanted to celebrate my birthday to the max yesterday. We had arranged the table for 12 people beforehand and it was confirmed to us twice. When we got there there was no reservation for us and the service was overwhelmed. Then we were seated at a table. Since the restaurant had only been open again for a few days after a break, there were only 10! Menus for a full restaurant. We waited 30 minutes for someone to take our drinks. After that we were no longer noticed. No drinks, nothing for 45 minutes. After sitting for 1 1/2 hours without drinks and constantly asking, we explained the situation and then got 4 out of 12 drinks. Then we expressed our concern that we would go. That too was too much for the service, it just shifted the blame onto others. We are gone and will never get to the “new” maximum again. Menu reduced in size (no homepage change) Service not recommended. It's a shame we were always happy before and something like that on our birthday.

With a reservation you stand in front of a closed door. You don't even think about turning down customers there. Absolutely not recommended.

Visited several times, food is getting worse and worse. Pizza was soggy. Service excellent drinks prices very fair.

Under new leadership, I wish Andrea and Gerrit Michelhans all the best!

War früher super… mittlerweile keinen Besuch mehr wert… Öffnungszeiten werden Spontan angepasst…also gekürzt… wir gehen nicht mehr hin…

Would definitely be a place I would come back to... But you shouldn't be hungry because the food was unfortunately a joke. Had the Kockkäse schnitzel with fries. Simple dish, one would think.. But I didn't feel like eating cheap frozen food (open the package and fry the breaded schnitzel) and limp fries. The whole thing was drowned in cooking cheese. Sorry guys but that's not possible!! The service employee, on the other hand, was pleasant and extremely positive. It was very busy and she had a lot to do but she was extremely friendly!! Conclusion: Food is really underground Service top notch

We were there on a Thursday (salad evening). Each salad €11. We had the Alsace salad and the Maultaschen salad. The portions were large and tasted delicious. Service is very friendly. We will be back.

We actually really enjoy going there. But last Saturday at 6 p.m. we also ordered and I said a small portion please of Milano Schnitzel. What came was a large portion. I also said that I had a stomach enlargement. I would also have had to present my emergency ID card OK, I thought that was the last time here. Then we'll go eat somewhere else where you really get a small portion, no ifs and buts. It's a shame

Very friendly staff, fast food and very delicious. Portions very good, you will be more than full. We recommend.

Very welcoming place with a fantastic terrace in a tropical setting

Food was OK. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the service, he didn't give the remaining money back when paying and saw it as a “natural” tip. For a bill of €30, we kept at least €5 individually. Of course we would have tipped but I found that really rude.

We've always enjoyed coming here, but unfortunately the food has deteriorated massively. With analogue cheese on the pizza or when even the simplest rump steak costs over 30 euros, the price/performance ratio is unfortunately out of joint. The service was very friendly and tried hard and that's the only reason it got 2 stars, but you honestly don't have to come here to eat.

Very good large colorful salad bowl with delicious dressing and fresh baguette. Friendly, quick service.

Always friendly staff. Delicious food. Great atmosphere: bar, restaurant and beautiful outdoor area. We always enjoy being here. Whether as a couple or in a larger group. One of our absolute favorite restaurants.

I've been coming back for many years and have never been disappointed. No matter how busy or stressful it is, the service staff are totally friendly. The food is very tasty and you are always spoiled for choice as to what to eat today :-) My favorites are the baked potatoes, salad with chicken breast strips & mushrooms, the large colorful salad bowl and schnitzel with fried potatoes.

Super friendly staff, lots of free parking spaces right in front of the door. The food was tasty and the price was good. Unfortunately, the burger only had a ready-made patty and was therefore more expensive. The selection of drinks and starters were good. Would love to come back to try other dishes.

Sind um 12.50 Uhr ins lokal. Das Essen kam um 14.30 Uhr. Das Lokal war nicht sehr gut besucht. Die Preise sind dafür aber ganz schön hoch. Also für uns einmal und nie wieder. Testen Sie selbst.

I have eaten there many times. But I've been ordering food for home lately. When I got home I was almost shocked. I ordered sausage salad with fries for €15.50. The portion of sausage salad is outrageously small for the price. See picture. The food is always delicious, but due to the size of the portion there is only 1 star

Always worth a visit for years!

Very disappointing. High-priced lower snack quality. Couldn't understand the positive reviews.

Mega delicious food, quality always the same and absolutely friendly staff. We always enjoy coming back 😁

Good food at a fair price. Nice service.

In my opinion, food has become very expensive. We waited a long time for the food. The waitress only asked once in between if we would like to order anything else. We had to wait almost 40 minutes until someone came into sight to signal that we wanted to pay.

Food was okay, we waited 1 hour for our food, service was very friendly

Very tasty food, especially the salads. Friendly service. Always my pleasure

Price/performance ratio is right, attentive service

The bistro is well attended and not without good reason. The food was very good and freshly prepared. However, on some days you have to plan for a very long waiting time. The last time we waited was 1 1/4 hours. To be fair, it has to be said that the service announced this in advance. So it fits. What personally stops me from visiting again at the weekend is the noise in the interior. Maybe I'm too sensitive, but that was tough for me. The vast majority don't seem to mind, otherwise the bistro wouldn't be fully booked to almost the last seat. That's why a reservation is recommended. Hopefully the outdoor area will be open again in the summer and it will be a little more comfortable again.

The service was friendly and attentive. The ambience is okay, not unusual but not uncomfortable either. All in all, I personally found it a bit cramped. The food is okay too. Nothing special and in my opinion too expensive for the quality and type of food. It was well attended, so many people seem to like it there.

Also früher bin ich gerne hierher gekommen aber mittlerweile sind die Preise einfach,Wucher Preise , schade eigentlich aber wenn die meinen sie müssten auf der Inflationswelle mitschwimmen okay, nicht mit mir. Teils 4 € Erhöhung pro Gericht.

Great bistro with very good food. From the baguette to the schnitzel, we absolutely recommend it. Garlic mayo with baguette is a dream!

It was okay, the roast was quite mixed and there was hardly any option for vegetarians other than salad. Otherwise nicely done, nice service. It was quite full and we sat next to the through traffic, which lessened the comfort somewhat

Das Essen ist leider nur mittelmäßig, Schnitzel (meiner Meinung nach) eher Formfleisch, statt ein frisches Schnitzel. Beim Salat viel zu viel Soße und der gebackene Schafskäse war unten mehr dunkel wie hell. Dafür war der Service die absolute Wucht … Super freundlich, kompetent und falls liebevoll 👍. Trotzdem wird es nicht unser neues Lieblingsrestaurant … Schade

Sehr leckeres Essen! Große Portionen. Viel Auswahl an Salate & Co. Auf jeden Fall wieder! Bedienung war nett, aber das Rückgeld hatte zweimal nicht gepasst.

1 Weihnachtstag im BistroMaximum. Ein Lob an die KÜCHE.

Danke für das Tolle Ambiente. LG Barbara & Enrique

Mega! Waren das erste Mal dort, wir kommen wieder! Alles perfekt!

Immer wieder schön mit Freunden dort essen zu gehen. Ich liebe die Salatteller.

War bisher nur einmal dort ,muss aber sagen dafür haben sie mich super überzeugt! Klar es war an dem Tag super voll und der Service etwas chaotisch,aber die Bedienung war trotzdem super lieb und nett. Das Essen war auch Klasse!

Der Service war bisher eigentlich immer einwandfrei, gestern Abend war jedoch aufgrund vom unfreundlichen Service unser letzter Besuch. Freche Kommentare und die Krönung kam als er ein von ihm falsch aufgenommenes Getränk lieber weg schüttete als es uns zu schenken. Sau blöd das dann am Tisch auch zu kommunizieren, dass man einen Cocktail lieber weg schüttet als verschenkt, außer natürlich wir hätten ihn bezahlt. Sehr Kundenorientert… wirklich schade, da das Personal sonst immer sehr freundlich war. Leider stimmt das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis auch nicht mehr… hier und da sind das einfach ein paar € zu viel für das was man bekommt.

Sind eigentlich immer gerne gekommen und sind uns durchaus über die allgemein gestiegenen Preise bewusst, aber die Preis- Leistung passt leider nicht mehr. Beispiel: Portion Aioli mit Brot 6,50 Schnitzel Handgroß mit einer Handvoll Pommes ~16,50.

Ambiente leider nur im hinteren Raum schön. Vorne eher langweilig. Die Hähnchenstreifen waren extrem trocken. Definitiv zu lange oder zu heiß angebraten. Ansonsten sehr lecker.

Super leckeres Essen, super Service, tolles Ambiente, sehr nette Inhaber. Alles perfekt und absolut einen Besuch wert.

Es ist immer wieder ein Vergnügen.

Sehr gutes Essen und Service. 11 Radler haben dort Rast gemacht ... Wir kommen wieder, ADFC Bergstraße e.V.

Toller Service und der Hamburger XXL war super lecker. Sehr schön ist auch der Außenbereich. Dort kann man gut sitzen und seinen Cocktail genießen.

Ich war das erstemal dort und bin sehr zufrieden gewesen. Sehr freundlicher Service. Leckeres Essen. Rundum Klasse.

Hatte ein sehr feines, leckeres Schnitzel. Wenn die Soße stimmt, weiß ich schon bescheid...und die war absolut stimmig. Allerdings war die Portion gerade so zur Grenze zum nicht ganz satt werden. Im Vergleich waren die Salatteller (Eimer eher) meiner Freunde Übergroß. Hab mich an deren Resten satt gegessen. War auch sehr gut übrigens. Preise sind angemessen. Nette Getränkekarte. Cocktail ohne Alkohol war genau richtig. Nicht zu süß. Ansprechend serviert. Ambiente draußen entspannt. Man sitzt nicht beim Nebentisch auf dem Schoß. Innen schnuggelisch, modern . Kommen wieder 🙂.

Wir waren im Rahmen einer Feier da. Essen war gut. Schade das dieses mal die Bedienung genervt war. Die Räumlichkeit ist schön, jedoch ist es sehr laut darin. Liegt wahrscheinlich an den Baulichkeiten.

Sehr leckeres Essen kann man empfehlen. Portion und Geschmack echt super.kommen gerne wieder.

Lecker Essen. Große Portionen. Laden knallvoll, trotzdem schneller und freundlicher Service.

Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden, nettes Personal welches nicht überall gleichzeitig sein kann, daher kann es schon einmal passieren das man etwas länger warten muß. Leider jedoch sind die Kellner*innen immer am umherhasten, was den Personalmangel (?) zu verdanken ist. Das Bistro hat meistens einen guten Zulauf was einen bei dem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht sonderlich verwundert. Die Portionen sind sehr gut und man wird satt. Man geht definitiv nicht hungrig nach Hause. Geschmacklich jedem das seine, aber uns hat es hervorragend geschmeckt. Es empfiehlt sich zu reservieren. Vom Publikum ist jedes Alter dabei. Die Speisekarte spricht jede Person an, es ist für jeden etwas dabei. Außer "exotisches"

Wir waren heute zu einer Hochzeitsgesellschaft eingeladen. Es war ein rundum toller Tag. Alles war mit viel Herz vorbereitet. Tolles Essen. Ganz besonders möchte ich das Servicepersonal hervorheben. Der Betreiber kann stolz darauf sein . Wir kommen ganz sicher und sehr gerne wieder.

Essen war mal wieder sehr lecker und dann bei 15 Personen gleichzeitig das Essen zu bekommen ist wirklich bemerkenswert

Mein Fazit: Das Essen ist normaler Standard, aber nichts besonderes. Der Service lässt sich zu wünschen übrig und bei der Ambiente kann ich nur sagen. Es ist viel zu laut dort drin. Also ich brauche es nicht nochmal. Danke

Tolle Bedienung. Preisleistungsverhältnis vom Essen bestens. Rundum zufrieden :)

sehr netter Laden, tolles Ambiente, auch schöner Außenbereich. Das Essen hat leider in der letzten Zeit etwas nachgelassen. Wir hatten 3 verschiedene Suppen, alle waren sehr geschmacksneutral gewürzt. Ansonsten große Portion mit viel Einlage. Hauptgericht Pasta mit Schweinelende. In der Karte stand, dass die Lende rosa gebraten sei, leider war sie komplett durchgebraten und sehr trocken.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Super Salate, schöne Drinks. Tolle Lokation. Wir kommen wieder👍 Wieder aktuell dort gewesen. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Wir kommen wieder

Sehr empfehlenswert...große Auswahl an Speisen und sehr lecker....top Service...

Große Auswahl verschiedener Geschmacksrichtungen, vom Fleischesser bis zum Veganer bei vernünftigen Preisen.

Da schmeckt das Essen wirklich lecker. Hierwird man vom Chef oder der Chefin persönlich begrüßt Das Personal ist seht freundlich und aufmerksam. Macht noch lange so weiter. Auf 👍👍👍

Sehr gutes Essen und nettes Personal an einem schönen Ort. Ich komme gerne wieder.

Hamburger bestellt, war super lecker

Weizenbier 4,60€, 0,7 Wasser 6,20€, unverschämt.

Das Maximum ist ein zentral gelegenes Bistro mit einem sehr schönen Ambiente. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war hervorragend mit einem ganz tollen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Sehr netter Empfang,super Bedienung ,keine lästige Parkplatzsuche und lecktes Essen.Geschäftsführer ohne Allüren.Was will man mehr ? 10/10 ,was uns betrifft.Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
