Came to Max’s Deli based on a recommendation. Ordered the pastrami sandwich as a good pastrami is not all that common anymore. Also ordered a side of fries. The sandwich and fries were great and worth coming for. The waitress was attentive and the restaurant clean. I would come back.

Excellent Italian beef, but pricy!! Still very good though. Next time I’ll have to try some of the baked goods.

The owner (85?) and his wonderful son operate Max’s Deli efficiently. Dine in however as you don’t get as much food compared to when you dine in!

Our experience was ummmmm….not too great! I really do not recommend Max’s deli!! First off our server was rude to us and portion sizes were really small! Food was expensive for what we did get very small tuna melts.Maybe things were off today but I went out of my way to eat here and it was not what I expected at all.

ive been coming here my entire life and have encountered the owner, joey, each time. familiarity doesn’t soften the truth, it sharpens it. the guy is an opportunist, plain and simple. human decency is not something you should expect when you walk through the door. every visit has come with its own dose of irritation. people usually grow out of being told to watch their mouth and check their behavior, joey didn’t. at some point, that kind of conduct stops being “personality” and starts being a liability. don’t come here unless you want to pay to listen to mediocre jokes from some old frat guy who never realized the party ended.

Tried this place on the fly, amazing hot pastrami and hot corn beef. Not sure why anyone complained about the service, the service top notch. Bagel slices were great. We will be back! So good!

Been going here over 20 years. Service was beyond horrible this morning. Server was very rude. My friend ordered an omelet and after the server walked away, we realized she forgot to ask for white toast. Never saw the server again til she brought the food. I asked her if toast comes with the omelet. She rudely responded yes but she didn’t tell me she wanted toast. So my friend said white toast please and our server actually huffed. We were like OH my goodness. Never experienced such a rude server ever. I guess we assumed she would have asked us what kind of toast when taking our order. Definitely won’t be going back, plenty of other wonderful restaurants in the area.
Also food was very salty, never in the past.

Oy vey. First things first: the matzo ball soup. It’s like a warm hug from your babushka, only without the guilt trip and unsolicited advice about your love life.

You might even start to believe in miracles. The matzo ball (it’s yuuuge) is fluffier than a rabbi’s yarmulke at a bar mitzvah and about as comforting as being wrapped in a blanket made of gefilte fish and shmaltz. The broth might have you wondering if the chicken that made it was blessed by Moses himself. I’m not kidding, I inhaled that soup like a goy at a Hanukkah buffet, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Then there’s the Hoppel Poppel. If you’re brave enough to wander off the matzo ball path, this scramble of eggs, potatoes, onions, and salami is like a savory slap in the face from your favorite bubbeleh It’s hearty, it’s comforting, and it’s like everything you love about breakfast, except with more schmaltz. Trust me, you need this in your life.

Now, the rest of the deli experience? The pickles? More crunchy than your zayde’s opinions on modern art. The service? Despite being packed with early bird specials (seriously, half the place looked like a senior discount convention), the waitstaff still manages to deliver solid service.

Don’t bother counting your shekels. It’s worth every penny. If you leave hungry, you might be the one with the problem.
