Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone.

Grand Rapids is in Michigan, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Grand Rapids follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

This is what I have been searching for! I missed Kahiki and many others that are only legend. Thank you truly to the owners that took the love and time to make Max’s very much alive with true authenticity of tikis of the past. I walked around in amazement. I couldn’t believe the tiki mug collection and the salvaged totems! The small details and overwhelming display in general of what felt like a museum of tiki memorabilia nearly brought me to happy tears. To top it off, the drinks were well curated and balanced. Excellent work there and the food was fantastic too. Absolutely perfection all around!! Well Done! All the stars!! ⭐️

Our favorite relaxing restaurant hideaway! Max South Seas Hideaway 🏝️🌺🍹 gives us the tropical island vibes we need! They have one of the largest tiki collections on hand and it’s super cool, creative and fun to check out. The dim lit toned down atmosphere sets the tone for a chill evening out every time we go. The food is unique and full of flavor and the rum infused cocktails are second to none. The staff has always been helpful and friendly and makes it easy to frequent. It’s rare that they have walk-in space available without wait, so so be sure to make a reservation ahead of time.

A tiki bar that you shouldn't miss! Drinks were spot on, and the service was great. Our server hung out a bit to answer questions and make suggestions and she was fantastic when discussing allergy issues for the food and drinks. Jerk wings are so good that you may not want to share them.

One of the better tiki bars in Michigan, especially being on the west side. The atmosphere is on point and the decor is excellent. The staff is attentive, the food was pretty good, but the drinks were a bit lacking tbh. Definitely give them a try if you've never been!

Great vibe! Loved this location and the variety of menu options. Everything from Caribbean to BBQ to sushi 🍣! I enjoyed the spicy roll sushi. The Navy Grog cocktail was excellent as well! Highly recommend.
