• Great food, great price, atmosphere, and accepts drivers payback credits!
• Not bad but average serving, time is 30 minutes or so, Booth plexiglass rattles on little movements.

“I have been to Grandma Max's many times, and probably 8 at this location. The menu is very flexible and includes breakfast, SW food, Italian, Steaks, Seafood and many sandwiches and a all you can eat buffet. I have personally ate here 2 days in a row (I live in a truck) I have been greeted promptly and served drinks promptly. I recommend the Omaha steaks! They also offer a 4lb cheeseburger with a challenge and prizes. Every menu item I have had has been very very good. The deserts are also excellent being inside reminds you of a cozy mid west atmosphere and is well decorated. The server came to check on me very often and was prompt at bringing the check to the table. They also have a few TV's sharing the news scattered throughout and are viewable from basically everywhere. I noticed when orders are ready, the servers have a vibrating pager so you do not hear bells or shouting for pickup (since it's crucial to hear the news for us who don't have time in a day to watch it unless we are eating). Coming to a Bosselman's/Grandma Max's is the highlight of my west of the Mississippi trips! In the last 48 Hours I have had 12 cheese ticks good price armers Omelet, Enchilada Dinner,12 Oz Top Sirloin Dinner, and chocolate creme pie. All priced well and delicious!”

• Food was good.
• People are not friendly. They love Jesus, just not people.

“While traveling through Kansas from Oregon to Virginia we stopped in Salina at a truck stop restaurant that looked kind of cute. The food was excellent, but our waitress was terrible. I asked her what their beer list looked like. She informed me that Kansas was a dry state. After going into shock from this statement we ordered our food. When she brought our food she didnt make eye contact or say a word and just threw our plates in front of us. After eating we waited about 15 minutes for a bill and finally walked up to the register counter to tell them we have been sitting around for our bill and want to leave. But the lady couldnt stop to help a customer; she had to finish sweeping her area. Worst service I ever had. If you can help it, dont drive west to east through Kansas.”

• Great food and prices.
• Slightly noisy due to foot traffic in the truck stop.

“Grandma Max's is what it is, and if you're alright with that, it's a delightful eating experience. I have read some other reviews criticizing the service, but people, come on, it's at a truck stop just outside a roaring highway and giant gas station. It's not a five star restaurant by any means. It is a quaint little place next connected to a video game alley with plastic aliens, and a giant convenience mart. While some people may be turned off by that I found it delightful in all its kitchy ways (there is even an IQ peg game at all the tables). I am still salivating at the thought of my dinner there. The food was filling, bountiful and very tasty - great mid-western type menu items. I highly recommend the Omaha steaks - the best I've had in years! My boyfriend had the country fried steak, which was also a big treat. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of food you get. Don't expect fine-dining service and you won't be disappointed! Perfect for hungry, tired drivers who want a good old' fashioned meat and potatoes meal.”
