"Stranded" in the area for a few days, we decided to check out Max & Erma's. We actually stopped into each of the restaurants in the area for a menu and settled here.
Boy am I glad we did. This is a truly unique restaurant. I haven't been to a sit down restaurant, with a bar, decent beverage selection that sells chocolate chip cookies and has a sundae bar.
We started with the Max Draft Beer for just $5, Blue Moon and Troegs (a local brew and first try for me) and ordered dinner. My boyfriend had the "3-course" option which was tortilla soup or salad, a 6 ounce beef burger or turkey avocado swiss burger, and a chocolate chip cookie. I had the philly cheesesteak and asked the waitress to doctor up my fries to their loaded fries. They put fresh and crisp bacon, white cheddar cheese curds and this delicious beer cheese sauce. I highly recommend this cheese fry option. The sauce is truly yummy and is served very warm.
We finished off with a light, quite beautiful pitcher of pineapple, white peach sangria.
All in all, I will definitely stop back anytime I'm in the area.
