Culver is a small lake town, and Cafe Max has been feeding it since 1985. Whether you are in for a weekend on Lake Maxinkuckee or just walking the downtown, it is the easy call for breakfast or lunch, sitting right on South Main Street a block from the water.
A Culver Favorite Since 1985
Cafe Max has been part of downtown Culver for about 40 years. It keeps things simple: a casual, comfortable room that fills with locals and lake visitors, and a menu built around American breakfast and lunch. Most days it runs from morning through mid-afternoon, then stays open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights.
What to Expect on the Menu
The menu sticks to American cafe staples. Mornings lean on eggs and other breakfast plates, while the midday side covers sandwiches, soups, and salads. If you want a fuller sit-down dinner, come on a Friday or Saturday, when the kitchen stays open into the evening.
When to Go
One thing worth knowing before you drive out: Cafe Max is closed Tuesday and Wednesday, and it only serves into the evening on Friday and Saturday. Here are the current hours at Cafe Max Eatery & Tap:
Sunday: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Finding Cafe Max in Downtown Culver
You will find Cafe Max at 113 S Main Street in the heart of downtown Culver, a short walk from Lake Maxinkuckee. It is a natural stop before a day on the water, after a round of golf, or while browsing the shops along Main Street.
