I am typically a forgiving reviewer...by in this case I can't hold back.
This was my younger son's favorite Resaurant and we often celebrated his birthday and other events here. We always enjoyed the above average food and ambience here. While my son was away at college we never had an opportunity to eat a Max & Ermas until he recently graduated. For old times sake we went in June 2016. What in the past was a decent meal was now inedible. What a disappointment! The food and service have drastically declined. The waitress and other service people could care less. The place is dismal and its deterioration was best represented by the fact that their staff began vacuuming while the few diners were eating their meals. Max and Erma must be rolling in their graves at what has become of their namesake.
My advice-- don't go to eat here
