I miss the Max’s location in Walnut Creek. This location is smaller but everything is there. The great menu, piano with singer. Pastrami on rye and of course motza ball soup! If you just want dessert this is the ideal place for that too, they are large. Try the banana split sundae just bring a few people to share it.

We had soup, wedge salad and a hamburger. All was good. Our server was having a bad day. Atmosphere was comfortable. Loved our piano player/ singer. Over all I would stop in there again when coming to San Francisco.

I’ve been to many Max’s especially the Stanford mall one at the time but this place here felt really good, spacious and very friendly and enjoyable staff. That is before we even get to the food. I enjoyed my lunch tremendously and will be back again!

First time visiting this classic deli inspired restaurant. We went before the ballet.
It’s a big place and it’s not fancy. But the staff are super friendly and the portions are generous. It’s got a very classic feel. No pretenses. Nothing special. Just solid classics.
They have seasonal specials so for spring it was heavy in asparagus and artichoke which are two of my favorite things. We started off with the mushroom appetizer which I would absolutely go back for! Then each of us got an entree which was way too much. And a slice of carrot cake which was overkill but how can you say no?

I love Max’s. I’ve been going for years. Went last night and had a great dinner with the lovely piano man playing the piano. Not something you see a lot of in San Francisco. They currently have a great Passover menu and a special menu highlighting artichoke and asparagus season. The must haves from their menu are their famous Reuben sandwich, which is massive, and if you’re a tuna melt fan, theirs is one of the best I’ve ever had. My partner had the red wine braised brisket from the Passover menu and it was fantastic. You can also get a bottle of sparkling wine for a pretty affordable price compared to other restaurants.
The staff is always so friendly. I love it here. Menu is huge with a great selection for everyone. Give Max’s a try if you’re in the area!

I love this place. The chicken-soup is world-class. That being said, the decor does seem a little more kitsch/retro than it used to.
Service was great, but I usually get takeout. The food is generally tremendous. I hope I get to come back soon when someone is performing.

Dinner portions are huge! Fries are always fresh and delicious. And the best part is everything is reasonably priced. That’s a huge win considering it’s in the city. I’m looking forward to our next date night. Had the patty melt its was great! Wife had chicken parm that was fire.

Waiter “Carlo” took good care of our group.
I forgot how classy this place is. The atmosphere felt good.
Even though this was a weekday and there were no theatre shows going on, they had a pianist playing every imaginable tune, people were dressed well, and it was a happy environment. our group was seated quickly, service was excellent, and the food good. The portions are generous so come hungry. Pro-Tip: Save room for desert!

Best Ruben sandwich and Russian soup. Great place to visit before a concert, play or ballet in SF. Easy to park near by and walk to Max’s and to the show. Highly recommend for a quick and good meal.
