A great find for lovers of German food served in a cozy tavern setting. Veal is not common on local menus so nice to find here. The very large cuts at reasonable prices was offset by low quality veal however. Nonetheless, a good find. The player “piano”is unique in that it combines the piano with an accordion, drums, cymbals, and horn to create a self-contained band.
My host recommended this as a local favorite and what a gem! Max's has apparently been a German restaurant for over 100 years and the history and love really shows.
Hands down some of the best sausage I've ever had--not salty or fatty in the least, but juicy and tender and flavorful. I usually don't like sausage much! The sauerkraut is perfection, as is the apple butter that comes with the bread.
The beer flight is a generous pour of four pre-chosen German brews, all good if you like German styles.
The decor is thematic, though the layout was a little more crowded than I'd prefer, though was very doable. Noise levels weren't bad at all. Service was a little slow, but as we weren't in a hurry, this wasn't an issue for us.
Make sure you bring quarters to make the piano band play!
Definitely a fun stop!
Went there for authentic pierogis. And Max’s didn’t disappoint. Very cool atmosphere. The brat wasn’t the best but I’ve been to Germany recently and have high standards for that.
