This deli-diner has huge sandwiches, traditional blue plate diner specials, low-fat dishes and lots of salads. Cakes, pies and crisps, which also are served in big portions, are gooey and good. A good place to go for a quick bite before… Read Full Editorial
How to lose customers. by darcy fink via Citysearch on 9/19/2010
Now I've had three sorry times at Max's. A friend got sick from the food, I was served dried up dark colored off tasting pastrami and the maitre d' refused to seat me when I was up next in spite of a room full of empty tables. He said he…
Horrible Treatment by RJordanB via Citysearch on 7/14/2010
We used to enjoy this restaurant. My wife and I ate here at least 10 times a year for at least 5 years. Max's served excellent NY style Deli food in a convivial setting. Our last 2 visits have been so disappointing we do not intend to…
Arrogant Awful Service by MaxisAwful via Citysearch on 6/17/2010
Horrible greeting by staff, horrible treatment by manager, insufferable arrogance. Save yourself some trouble: Go to Jardin and enjoy the experience instead of being treated like the cattle these people believe you to be. Feh.
Opera by Farrah T via Insider Pages on 3/23/2010
The service is good, large portions of food, the taste is good, and the desserts are to die for. Defnitely will return.
The closest thing to a Kosher deli in No. Cal by operagoer via Citysearch on 5/1/2009
I was born and raised in NYC, but have lived in Cal for 42 years. Aside from Cantor's in LA, Max's comes closest to a NY Kosher deli like the Stage deli on the west coast. For a time they had that crappy lean pastrami that was dry and…
Forgettable by boymeetswestcoast via Citysearch on 6/23/2008
Max's, an upscale diner, was just an average restaurant. It was close to our hotel, which made it a good choice. The food and service was just average. However, the giant mushroom appetizer was very good! The menu is versatile and the…
Horrendous service, and they nickle and dime you! by patrickbad via Citysearch on 11/15/2007
Absolutely horrendous. I had to pay extra for potato salad and extra for a pickle. Im not cheap but, after paying 16.00 for a sandwich. I mean come how much does this stuff really cost. I also have complained to the mangement and they are…
Something For Everyone by 123459999 via Citysearch on 7/7/2007
Great spot for a before and after stop to the Opera.I especially enjoyed the wide selection of menu items, and found the menu prices fair for the the city.Service was good,after taking into consideration that everyone around us was in a…
If you care about your arteries... by maryanny143 via Citysearch on 9/5/2006
They aren't ashamed of it, in fact they are proud of it, but this is the most fattening restaurant around. Portion sizes are HUGE and the fat content is out of control. \r
They aren't very nice to their waitstaff either...\r
Oh, and for…
They no longer have the Chinese Chicken Salad Lite by justineelise via Citysearch on 8/7/2006
I used to come to Max's Opera Plaza at least once every two weeks to either eat in or take out. And I always got the Chinese Chicken Salad Lite. I know for a fact that this was one of the most popular items on the menu. Well according…
Good food- not great- and too expensive by cutiekatie via Citysearch on 7/24/2006
The sandwiches are good and HUGE so very easy to share- but it is WAY too expensive for the kind of food it is. It's a good place to go before a show because they'll make sure to get you out before curtain call, but I'm sure you can find…
Famous Reuben Sandwich by janicewilliams via Citysearch on 5/29/2006
I explained to the waitress to make the Reuben with pastrami because I don't like or eat fatty meat and the pastrami had been historically lean. I was served a fatty, gristly Reuben sandwich. I was able to salvage a percentage out of 1/2…
maybe if you're local + lazy by rarcher via Citysearch on 5/3/2006
i live in the building, so i eat there when i get too lazy to cook or walk somewhere else
the food's decent and you do get large portions (no room for dessert) so splitting meals works best
otherwise, you could cook for yourself and do as…
great food, large portions, good value! by alibabapug via Citysearch on 1/8/2006
when i'm in the mood for a good burger, i always think of max's -- i don't care about all the other strictly "burger" places. nothing beats the size, taste, and value of those at max's. not to mention the other items on their extensive…
User review by deja_vu by deja_vu via Citysearch on 11/26/2005
Good food, but a little over-priced--$33 plus tip for a meat loaf dinner but then that includes salad, dessert and split charges. You can save those charges by asking for a separate plate, instead.
A little over-priced by chains007 via Citysearch on 3/15/2005
There are many over priced diners in California and Max's is certainly one of them. Portions are indeed huge, but the quality is mediocre and the price is still high. Except to pay over $10 for a sandwich here. They have recently closed…
Piled-high sandwiches, gigantic desserts and singing waiters glamorize this souped-up deli in Opera Plaza. by Contributor via Citysearch on 9/8/2004
In Short
This New York-inspired restaurant features singing waiters, many of whom are training for the stage at the nearby San Francisco Opera House. The fledgling vocalists lend a festive, entertaining air to the bustling dining…
STAY AWAY!!! by hubbell via Citysearch on 5/19/2003
Althought the food is plentiful - don't ever come in to get take out. It is as expensive as being served, but the portions are MUCH smaller. Complete ripoff. When I asked to speak to the Manager, he couldn't have been more disinterested…
Scrummy DESSERTS by wuzupg via Citysearch on 8/25/2002
The food, especially the desserts, are exceptionally great! If you don't like the food, its not because the food was bad, its because you just don't like the menu item.
It depends on which location .. by Bill_C via Citysearch on 8/17/2002
The quality of the service, etc depends on which Max's location you go to. The one on Van Ness Avenue is dreadful and my rating applies to only that one. Yet, the one on Third Street is great. Go figure!
