Max’s Original Restaurant – San Francisco Bay Area

Max’s Original Restaurant – San Francisco Bay Area

Max's Original Restaurant - San Francisco Bay Area

We dine in Max’s Original simply because it is located next to Holiday Inn San Francisco Airport South, where we stayed for two nights.  It is convenient as we were too tired to go out to find our dinner.  It is only within 1 min walking distance from the hotel.

Once we entered, we were quite delighted at the setting of Max’ Original Restaurant.  There are many photos back in the olden days hanging on the wall of the restaurants.  I have a good walk around the restaurant and found out there are few different sitting arrangement including a bar area and some live entertainment.

Once seated, you will notice the restaurants also serve as a fun and casual atmosphere.  As we were still very early when we arrived at the restaurant, around 6 pm there were not many guests as yet.

The signature of this restaurant is corned beef and pastrami as the owner Max (long dead) would love to order himself.  When you open the menu, you will find lots of Jewish dishes.

On the of the table, there is a “Happy Hanukkah” special menu.  Hanukkah is a special Jewish holiday which usually occurs during end of Nov and Dec of every year.

Our Order

We ordered some chicken wings and lamb with quinoa.  The complimentary bread served to us were hot and own made by Max’s.  Really tasty and goes well with butter pickle mix.

Final thoughts:

Max’s Original is a nice dining experience for me as we don’t get to see such setting from where I come from.  It also offer customers large portions of high-quality comfort food for reasonable prices.

Don’t forget to try their comfort food such as chocolate cake or other flavor as they have variety of cakes for you to choose from at the cake counter.

While I never been to San Francisco, I can say that this is place I would love to dine it. Mainly because of what you say they specialize in Corn beef and Pastrami…Sounds pretty darn close to heaven for me.

First time to hear this same name restaurant that we have back in the Philippines and they both offer sumptuous food! Would love to check this place if I get the chance to pay a visit someday.

Dear JM,
You are right, I think there is another Max’s chain restaurant which is very popular in Philipines. I am yet to try that out. 🙂 Thanks for your comment.

Looks like great place for dinner. Old photos giving it a vintage look and seating arrangement is also bit casual. Would like to try it some day.

Dear Devendra,
Thanks for your comment. I too love the old photos and the vintage arrangment. It would be great if there is live music but I left early so did not manage to see the live music.

I love it when good food is convenient and right around the corner during my travels. This seems like a great place to eat and relax to refuel and rejuvenate. Yum on the chocolate – just what the doctor ordered.

I recently visited a place where I don’t usually frequent because of the cost too, but it’s great to be going places occasionally to enjoy!
