We used to like Max and Erma's but our last 2 visits were very disappointing. (My wife doesn't ever want to go back.) The chicken parmesan and the burger were not very good. Prices are also very high with very few bargain combos such as those offered by Applebee's, TGIF and Outback. Their build-a- burger pricing scheme can get really expensive very quick. Salads seem fairly fresh but non-lettuce items are too sparse (they're overwhelmingly lettuce). They give you so little dressing you can barely tell it's on there. I realize it's probably healthier but the skimpiness has gotten ridiculous. I almost always need to ask waitress for more dressing. It might all be tolerable if the prices were lower. But a basic meal for a family of 5 can be well over $100, which is too much for such a mediocre place. Decor sorely needs an update.
