Definitely my favorite German restaurant, this place brings back memories.... *sigh*. It's a long-time North Side staple, and the atmosphere has a "well worn" appeal with old pictures of the local Germanic community and of the area. This place has it's own personality!
As for the food... well, you can't find much better German food than this and at this price! Both of my parents favor the peasant platter. Me, I love the stuffed pretzel appetizer, all the different sausages (the weisswurst is amazing!), and their kasespatzle (thick, doughy egg noodles with butter and cheese). I will always associate Max's with the best, most flavorful German food at an affordable price!
