I love Maximum Diner for their toffee daim sundaes, they have consistent quality and is my go to order. My son enjoyed his first ice cream float and the other desserts were all hits. The service was great and my kids were given a lollipop each as we left which was a well received gesture.

These guys are feeders… good sized portions! My boys like the burgers, ribs, big milkshakes and fries. Kebabs are decent too. Huge menu choice and all seems to be cooked fresh to order. Very good value and friendly people.

I used to come here as a kid. It's pretty rough round the edges and doesn't seem much different to how it was 20 odd years ago - still the odd American flag around and booth seating. Staff are friendly enough. Large variety of food, as you'd expect in this type of place. Generous portions, the food isn't going to win any awards but was acceptable, perhaps a little expensive as some of the ingredients used are towards the lower end of the scale.

You have to like these guys - they love to feed, always friendly and the portions are epic. Food made fresh - worth waiting a few minutes longer for. Currently takeaway only but they are handling the Covid situation most professionally. From the ribs to the chicken kebab, all great

I have recently moved to the area and I was Keen to visit this establishment. Now while the staff were polite, the food was abysmal. If this is a burger joint, then kill me now because to be fair it's kebab burgers for burger joint money. The milkshakes were superb alas that was the only saving grace. Uckfield needs a quality burger and pizza joint. This is not it

Was surprised to see bad reviews of this place. We have used Maximum Diner for years, since we moved to Uckfield from London (where we got lots of experience of kebab shops). In that time that we’ve used them we have never had a bad meal, unlike other local take aways and including the Dominos which put us off Dominos pizza for good! Kebabs are always tasty, not dry. Salad is always fresh. Chips are always lovely. Plus this place does good pizzas, burgers and hash. Not known a kebab shop to do this much variety and all of it nice. If you want tasty fast food. I can’t think of anywhere nearby that does it better.

So walked in to be greeted bluntly with ‘you want a takeaway or sitting in?’ Sat down to a good looking menu , many choices ! Boyfriend loved the strawberry milkshake. But it was freezing cold in there !! Didn’t take jacket off throughout the meal . I asked to have crispy bacon in my chicken burger which it wasnt. To be honest wouldn’t say it was any better than McDonalds! Staff members were arguing and chef was swearing . A back door where I presume the food was stored was constantly being slammed throughout meal. Overall will definitely not be coming back.

Have eaten here in the past but this was the first delivery to home. Food is never a let down decent portions for what you spend. More for your money than domino's for example. Well timed delivery (has to be a min £15 spend) but ex large mixed kebab with big bottle of coke, fries, salad and a mix of dips I think good value. Will definitely order from again.

My husband recommended this place going by how it USED to be making 'really good burgers'. This is no longer the case! He and his dad had a burger, my mother in law had the hash and I had a shish kebab. Plated up, the kebab looked the best but it was all of poor standard. The hash looked like dog sick, the burgers were cheap and dry and the chips tasted stale. Theres nothing more dissapointing than when youre hungry and have wasted money on a bad dinner 😤 Of all the places to get a takeaway from in Uckfield - dont choose this one!

I decided to get takeaway from here after not eating here for years and it was a let down. The veggie burger was terrible and came with one piece of lettuce and not much mayonnaise. I would still however like to try the other meals on offer here, but would not order the veggie burger again.

After them not accepting our card payment over the phone because we live in a flat, we told them we would pay cash on delivery 7 people heard this conversation on my end! 45 mins later we still had not received our order so I rang them and they said that they did not place our order because they said we would come and pay cash, which isn't true!!! When they finally delivered our order one and a half hours after the initial phone call I complained to the driver and he made out it was all our fault and that we did not phone back to say we would pay cash on delivery when on the initial phone call we told them we would pay cash, the delivery driver was very rude and very aggressive threatening to take our food back when I asked for a £5 discount due to their mistake, continued to argue, I have never had such a bad service, not only that the burgers were dry had clearly been sitting around for a while, all in all a terrible service and i won't be ordering again!!!

We often take our vistors for Breakfast to Maxim Diner, as the quantity and quality of the Breakfast is second to none. If we are feeling lazy we would pop into Maxim, for an evening meal, and once again the menu and quality are excellent. I often have a glass of wine to accompany the meal. The owner and his family are loverly warm people, who make you feel welcome. This is not the Ritz, its more, it serves quality food and a warm atmosphere, don`t expect candles and tableclothes, just expect good food and a warm welcome.

I have recently made the Maximum Diner my go to place for Sunday breakfast. Although small, it's clean and the staff are polite and courteous. It carries a 5 star rating for hygiene from the local council. I can only speak for their breakfasts but I can't fault it for taste, varieties of food on the plate, it's always hot and the quantity of food is amazing. One of their breakfasts keeps me going for the whole day. It is what it says, a Diner, and it does that very well, offering a fairly wide variety of food of the style expected in a Diner. Give it a try, I have worked my way through the various places for a Sunday breakfast in the town and they have all disappointed in some way, up to now the Maximum is fulfilling my Sunday morning dietary needs perfectly

We have eaten here on several occasions, each time we were greeted with a smile and made welcome. They have an amazing selection of food on offer, and as far as I am aware it is all cooked from fresh. They are open every day of the year except Christmas day, so you can always expect to be able to eat up until 2 AM in the morning!!! They also deliver in the local area... Look for the sign on the wall about a challenge to all who think they can eat others 'under the table' As the diner is in the High Street, parking can be limited, however there is a parking area in a lay by just a 100 metres along the road. Definitely worth a visit for American style dining. Steps into the diner, so disabled check first!

My wife and I had the miss fortune to eat here last night , after a evening with friends we popped in for late night munches.It's been a few year since last visit where you got good tasty food served by friendly staff it's just a shame that things have gone to pot now...Being that the diner is the only place in the early hours open in Uckfield we ordered two burgers and fries.Being open at this time of the morning opposite a night club they must encounter all types of inebriated people but the fact we had been out enjoying a evening with friends we were not! But we're treated as if we were .The food was poor and over cooked and my wife voiced her opinion about the quality of her burger she was told " so it's a charcoal cooked burger" that's why it's black dry and like cardboard.No mention of a fresh cooked replacement or refund just rudely spoken too .... how they are still open I can only think !Would not recommend , got to be the worst place in town...

The food is average, recent price rises mean what was a bit expensive is now over priced for what it is. Customer service is poor also, they got our order completely wrong then rather than sorting it out told us we'd ordered something that didn't exist even though we had eaten it many times before! After a lot of faff we finally got the right food with no apology and just a lot of attitude. Will not return again.

So there went Christmas and New Year. Now it's the 2nd of January and what to do? Well my husband had heard of a hobby shop in Uckfield that was pretty much how we found Maximum Diner. Smelt pretty darned good so we wandered over. And post new years are brushed aside when we spotted they did hash. Real US-style done of a flat top hash. Well we could hardly pass that up could we. Being a passport-carrying Yank I could hardly pass up the opportunity so in we scuttled and within minutes were piling into the best hash I have found this side of the pond. Other half went for the traditional corned beef hash whilst I went for the chilli variety. Both were excellent - chilli has just the right amount of heat. And we both went for the milkshakes, raspberry and banana respectively. Large and lush by any standand. we staggered out into the fading day full and happy. The price was also more than reasonable. The only tiny teeny niggle would be that the menu (being detailed and rather long) made it hard to find that I could have ordered sour cream as a side order. Only found it out as the last forkfull was heading down. Won't make that mistake again though. Will certainly return.

The people who run this establishment can be likened to apes who have a primitave grasp tools, and the tools in this case being customer service. Not only have they been terribly rude and blunt to a family member when phoning to ask if they deliver pizza late at night, they have also been rude to me and many friends on numerous occasions for no apparent reason. The service is horrendous and their acumen when talking to customers is completely diminished. That being said if you do fancy a decent box of chips, chicken or a burger then its worth the money. Just make sure you get out as soon as you can.... and that they don't short change you.
