I have eaten at Max's many times. Sometimes the service is not great but still acceptable. Today the service was horrible. They were slow. They did not smile. They had a huge attitude and I guess they wanted to be some place else. I'll spare the details but one table near us finally walked out without ordering breakfast. Food was... more

I was incredibly homesick for New York when we moved here after living in NY for almost ten years. My husband read about Max's online and the next thing I knew I was eating pastrami that rivals Katz's or Second Ave Deli's (my husband didn't like their corned beef as much though).

My husband and I were visiting our daughter in Northbrook and stopped in to Max's Deli for lunch. We never got a chance to eat there because we walked out. We encountered a very rude host.

What a great place to go to find a little bit of New York in a suburb. From supierier soups to humongious sandwiches. Desserts from heaven and a Chicken Noodle soup that tastes that your Grand mother will make. It's the tops more

This place has the best corned beef ive ever tasted. Also the potato pancake I had with it, was out of this world. If you haven't been there, go now. Its in highland park, which is a half hour noth from the loop, where I live. I drive every sunday for the 15 years to go there. Usually a line,... more

My husband and I have been going to Max's in Highland Park for years. They have excellent food and service. However, as a bonus to the food and service they have recently added a valet parking service. With that being said, my husband and I do not get around very well and the valet attendants here were courteous and professional... more
