On Valentine's Day, I went into Max Burger after placing an order online. When I arrived at the time on my slip, the order had not been placed with the kitchen. After waiting 10 minutes, I asked on the status of the order and the young lady in the front brought out my milkshakes but not my food. She looked offended when I said, "If your not bring out my food why are you bring out my milkshakes. They will melt." She huffed and said, "I guess I will put them back into the fridge." I am glad she did because I waited another 15 minutes before the food was brought out. I do wish to extend a thank you to Sonny who handled it after I called him from home. I will considering going back because the burger was really good. Thank you for your time Sonny. read more

Living in Longmeadow, we have been to Max Burger about a dozen times since we moving here 8 months ago. Originally it was a go-to spot when family was in town. We are Max Advantage Members and have also been to Max Fish, Max's Tavern, etc. I have tried at least a half dozen of the burger options and usually have been pleased with the food and service but the last visit was a total miss. We went in on a Saturday night and the place was extremely busy. Glad that they have a call-ahead service so the wait was not too bad at 20 minutes or so. We were seated and ordered our food. I was interested in the salmon burger which was listed as special and upon ordering was told they were possibly sold out for the evening (It was 5:30 pm) and did I have another option picked out. I order the bacon-onion smash, which I have enjoyed before, so that was fine. The waitress told me she would check on the availability of the salmon burger and place my order. I told her to just surprise me with which one was going to come out. My wife ordered a burger well-done as she usually does and the kids had the sliders. Upon receiving our burgers, my wife's was cooked closer to medium rare and my bacon-onion smash was rare (Completely pink in the center, and cool to touch). I realized that the waitress hadn't even asked how I wanted my burger cooked, so I guess she thought raw was acceptable. Upon discovering this we sent both burgers back to the kitchen. About five minutes later they returned. Mine has been placed on a new bun, but it was obviously the same burger patty that had just been placed back on the grill. The center was no longer pink, where I had initially cut into it, but after taking a couple of bites the edges were still somewhat raw. My wife's burger patty was less pink, but certainly, not Medium Well closer to medium and even the sliders still had pinking in the center. I usually order my burgers medium so I don't mind some pink, but this was just a major miss on their part. At least if you are going to give me back the same burger, make sure it is cooked properly the second time. Maybe it was just an off night. Service was lacking as well. I shouldn't have to ask for a drink refill and I especially shouldn't have to ask for my drink to be returned after the waitress forgets to bring it back. Certainly, we are willing to give them another try as the burgers are quite tasty and they have a wonderful menu, but next time it's going to be medium well for me, so when they undercook the meat, the patty will be closer to medium. read more

Dear, Soggy Take Out Food Box... I hate you. When i open you, you are always moist inside and, I don't like that. You make me uncomfortable, and I think you are better than that. Although your food is usually good inside, I cannot get passed the sogginess of YOU. it ruins my appetite... and I don't appreciate that. It's hateful. read more

Amazing! Whiskey burger is delicious and divine. Rec Poké if u like ahí is great. BBQ chicken wings were juicy - not ur typical sauce! Customer service is exceptional. A manager who accidentally spilled sauce on my daughter (he was mortified, not a big deal to us), discreetly comped two adult beverages. Also kudos to our waitress Giana. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Max Burger - Burgers Near Me - Longmeadow, Massachusetts

This place seems to do everything right. The burger, the fries, and the onion rings are good. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed.

Eight family members had a post-covid dinner at Max Tavern last night after not seeing each other for a year. It was great. The place was hopping, but the service, drinks & food were spot on. The staff works hard. Would definitely go back. read more

We found this place on Yelp while passing by on the highway. It was with the 4 mile detour on I91! At 1pm on a Wednesday, the place was busy with a lunch crowd, a good sign for a restaurant. We sat on the covered outdoor patio, complete with ceiling fans. Our sandwiches were perfect, just the way they were described, and priced about right. The service was great! Friendly well trained waitstaff make a difference! I would come here again, and you will not be disappointed. read more

Best chili I ever had. Amazing burger. Portion size was okay.... but quality over quantity.

My family went for dinner and we had a rather large 1" piece of bone in our burger. In discussing with the manager, the patties are not made on site like we assumed, they are frozen. While the staff is always great, almost choking on a bone has indeed changed my review. For a place with "burger" in their name, I expect better quality than frozen patties with the price they charge. Even five guys makes their own burgers... why wouldn't max burger?? Disappointing. read more

I have to say I have been going to Max Burger since they opened in Longmeadow. Unfortunately the recent hired help is less than sub optimal. Especially a manager by the name of Ziggy! She justifies constant mistakes with "mistakes happen I'm sorry will do better next time"two days later the same mistake is replicated with the same manager on with the same excuse. When asked to compensate for making the order completely wrong despite it being taken down correctly by the hostess her "Ziggy" excuses no I cannot do that we will do better next time. It is time that they be accountable for their actions and this is the only way that I can make them accountable for their actions please read this carefully. read more

Got the Maple Whiskey burger and it was amazing, as were the fries! Our server was very friendly and our food was out quickly. Would definitely recommend! read more

Ya know, walking in I thought to myself, 'Here we go with another uppity overpriced burger I'll regret after the bill.'. However, after we were all said and done it was two meals and two drinks and the bill was $44. Hey not too shabby.... Service was spot on, very attentive and friendly. Also, I asked for my burger with no bread and on a lettuce wrap and it came with a few ginormous pieces of green leaf lettuce. Not stingy at all. Awesome! I really liked my burger, it was seasoned and cooked well and to be honest felt like my meal was worth it. The side of green beans were fresh and flavored well. Overall a really good night. read more

Best turkey burger I ever had and service was great! Fries with Max Sauce was amazing! Can't wait to go back!

This place has been nothing but a disappoint over and over again. I have only ordered takeout from there and every single time there is something wrong with the order. The food is good but overpriced , but I guess being in Longhetto they have to upcharge. Last time around I ordered a chocolate shake, I cant even describe what what wrong with it and sent a picture to the manager who said they would remove the charge from credit card. That didn't happen, I'm done with that place forever with their poor customer service. read more

Love it - but it is a little pricey. I always always always get the Pulled Pork Spring Roll as an appetizer. I can't remember the name of our waitress, but she seemed a little new or just unsure. She didn't know what it meant to split the check (we did tell her how) and she returned with the check in full, not separated. Seemed to know a lot about the alcohol selections. She was nice though. Maybe just new. :) If I don't get a Max Burger, I usually go for the Choke N' Chicken sandwich. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it tastes a little burnt. Like the kettle chips it comes with. Definitely will always go back. :) read more

Love all their food and their specialty drinks each season are great. Wish some of their drinks were a little stronger though. My favorite was the chai martini they had in the fall and it was worth the $. read more

Plan A is Max Burger, Plan B, don't bother Love the burgers and all the options here. Max Burger is simply good burgers, plenty of beer options and a good service. Yes, it can get a little expensive, but if you want cheap, go to McD's or grill your own. I'll get the one negative (and saw this on some other posts as well): Avoid the bacon lollipops. I finally tried this app and regretted it. I love me some bacon, and this had a lot of descriptive potential (menu). But it failed to deliver. Now onto the positive: Kobe burger, excellent, Sgt Peppercorn (wednesday's), excellent. Even the simple Max Burger, excellent. But I love the "Slow Burn" burger you can only get on Sunday's. A real treat. Oh, and the PB&J shake is fantastic! Stick with the burgers and beer and you won't go wrong. Highly recommend. read more

To give you a quick idea of what I think of this place, let me tell you the following: it's been open for just over a week and I've already been there three times. Clearly they're doing something right. I had very high hopes coming in on my first visit. It's exactly my kind of place - moderately priced, nice atmosphere, but casual and not stuffy. There's nothing like it in Longmeadow, and as a result, it has been absolutely packed every night they've been open. Expect a minimum of thirty minute wait times, and plan on waiting at least ten even if you've called ahead. The first thing you'll notice walking in is the large bar which spans the length of the room. There's a solid liquor selection, quite a few draught beers, and dozens of bottled beers available. Bar seating was extremely busy, as were the high-tops directly across from it. The majority of the rest of the seating consists of standard tables with a couple of booths against a wall. It's not a large restaurant, and seating is dense. Combine this with the casual atmosphere, and you've got a recipe for a very, very loud environment. If you were hoping for a quiet, intimate, date night you've picked the wrong place. Enough already about describing the place, you're here to hear about the food, right? Well, I can tell you that it's yet to disappoint me. Burgers have consistently come out precisely as ordered and very juicy. Incredibly flavorful as well, certainly one of the best burgers I've had at any restaurant. If you're curious about the "Max Sauce" that comes standard, it's a spiced mayo blend applied fairly lightly to the bun. I personally can't stand mayo, but the sauce is actually quite good and complements the burgers nicely. I've had both the 8oz Max Burger classic and the Kobe burger so far. The Kobe burger had a slightly different flavor, perhaps slightly better than the standard burger, but not enough to justify the extra four bucks over the standard one. For sides, I've tried the fries (fantastic), kettle chips (good, but not any better than Cape Cod chips from the supermarket), and the truffle spuds. They're like mashed potato in a batter, fried, and brushed with truffle oil. Think fancy tater tots, really. Good and different, but you don't get as many as the you do the fries, and there's an upcharge for them. Worth trying, but I won't order them again. For dessert, I've had the passionfruit sorbet - incredibly rich and delicious, and I don't tend to be much a fan of sorbet. Service has been consistently excellent. Attentive, friendly, and non-intrusive servers who seem legitimately happy to be working there and actually have personalities. Very knowledgeable about the food and the extensive beer selection - enough so to describe the beers and make suggestions if you inform them what kind of beer you like. They also know how to properly pour the various bottled beers into your glass, which is a refreshing change from a lot of other restaurants. So, to sum it up: casual but loud and busy atmosphere, great servers, extensive beer and liquor selection, and very, very good food. One of the best burgers I've had in a while, and some of the best food all-around for the price bracket. Worth checking out if you're a fan of beers or burgers. And if you're not a fan of beers or burgers, well, I'm very sorry for you and what I can assume is a very unfulfilled life. read more

A great local joint for gourmet burgers and craft beers. The staff are friendly and the specials are intriguing. I love sitting at the bar here for lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is welcoming and the decor is attractive. read more

I was so excited to get out on a date without kids! We decided to check this place out since it's near our home and rated so highly. There was a short wait on a Thursday night and the atmosphere wasn't upscale as some have said - nice but definitely causal. Lots of kids and families. It was a little loud, but that was okay because it meant no one was listening to our conversation. The room was lined with booths with most tables out in the open - a little cozier (read: crowded) than I prefer. We both got the Grateful Veg, which was totally disappointing for $13. So mushy. I know, I know, who goes to a burger place and orders the vegetarian option? But we'd had such tasty ones at Shake Shack last week that we hoped for more deliciousness. Not so. Very bland and mushy. The fries were just okay, but the coleslaw was rather tasty The highlight of our night, however, was the nutty buddy (I think?) boozy milkshake with amaretto, peanut butter, and coffee ice cream. It was SO good. Really great flavor combos and one of the best treats I've had in western mass since moving here in September! read more

I've been on the hunt for a juicy delicious burger for quite some time now and my cravings have finally been satisfied! FUN GUY burger ($16.95) - a whopping 8 oz. wagyu burger w/ truffled mushroom goodness, arugula, French onion aioli, crispy onion strings on an artisan roll. I would order this over and over again. I'm still thinking about it and salivating as I'm writing this review! I usually order burgers medium well (since I would rather not have a side of E. coli with it) but I listened to my friends and got it medium. Oh boy! The burger was so thick and juicy :P The bun was toasted nicely, the patty was perfection and the aioli complimented it all so well. Server was awesome, however I was too happy and focused on my burger to notice anything else. GET THE BURGER!!! read more

I think on a slower day we would of had a great experience. We were told there was a 20 min wait but we're offered a seat on the "heated" patio right away, that was NOT actually heated. My sister and mom were in dresses which made the cold quite uncomfortable. The burgers were great, & came out in good time. I especially enjoyed the turkey burger!! Cute spot but slower service when busy. read more

Our servers were great, we had two waitresses. They were both friendly and attentive. The food on the other hand was very disappointing. The pastrami sandwich was horrible. It looked delicious, don't get me wrong. But as soon as I picked it up the whole entire bottom bun was soaked and soggy. Tried cutting the sandwich but that didn't help. The pastrami was very thick and lacking flavor.. not that great for a restaurant specializing in beef. I took the sandwich home and threw it away. The eggplant fries, which I've gotten before, were so unbelievably salty I only ate four of them. Between the salty sticks and my soggy pastrami sponge, I was quite disappointed. read more

Max Burger - My soggy pastrami :( - Burgers Near Me - Longmeadow, Massachusetts

So gone are the days of meeting up with your old Bay Path friends and going to the Longmeadow Shoppes for some Friendly's chicken quesadillas and a post-meal iced chai from Starbucks. Times have changed. Friendly's isn't even there any more. *sigh* Sure, Enfield is just down the road and there are the old options of Ruby Tuesday's or The Olive Garden, but...did a bunch of us BPC Alums come all the way to Longmeadow just to eat at these mediocre options? Oh HELL no. Max Burger is one of the newest (at least, to me) additions to Longmeadow Shoppes. This place...is HUGE. The small patio eating area outside leads one to expect a relatively small space inside. No way! Huge ceilings, multiple spacious rooms, and sexy cows (...yes, sexy...) painted on the upper walls, well, welcome to Max Burger. Lucky us, we called 45 minutes before arrival and were able to snag a table for twelve. Upon seating, we were given large menus; I'm pretty sure the alcoholic beverages outnumbered actual food dishes! I did enjoy how the beer list went from lightest to darkest. (Clever.) My friends and I ordered an array of cocktails (with the Caribbean Crush and it's sea foam green hue proving to be popular), mixed drinks, and I got to try a Stella Artois Cidre; didn't know Stella was in the hard cider game, but they've got a good handle on it! The menu options were all appetizing, making choosing a meal a daunting task. I finally, and wisely, settled upon the Alfred: an 8 ounce patty with Comtè cheese, caramelized onions, and rosemary aioli on an artisan roll. Holy Dear Sweet Lord Baby Jesus. Now THAT is how a hamburger should be made. There was a perfect burger / ingredient to bun ratio. Read: You don't finish your bun before your burger is gone. (Isn't that the WORST?) The cheese and sauce were perfect, and the burger was tender in it's medium-rare state. I went with the eggplant fries, which were delicious...until the dipping sauce was gone and the fries at the bottom had absorbed too much grease. They were good, but you've gotta get 'em while their still hot. If Max Burger had been around when I was still an undergrad at BPC, I'd be in trouble. Top notch. read more

Wow- crazy busy even on a Tuesday night. Luckily we got there at 5:30 so got a table at the bar. By 6:00 there was a wait. On a Tuesday? I decided to try something new since I had never been there. I ordered "The Greatful Veg" which spoke to the Deadhead in me. It was a vegitarian (which I'm not) burger made with quinoa, which has become my favorite grain of late to cook with. It had edamame in it which I didn't expect and gave it a great texture. I ordered it with cole slaw which was as good as any deli slaw. My friend ordered the tuna burger, which reminded me of salmon burgers my mom used to make. It's not raw tuna, but a patty. She loved it. And the sweet potato fries she got were delish. We wanted to sit outside but the outdoor patio isn't open yet. I may have given this 5 stars but our service was poor. While she was cute, she was a lousy server. She wanted us to order dessert while we were still eating dinner. And when we said no to dessert she brought our check. Again- still eating dinner. I know you're busy and want to turn over the table but let us finish our meal. Will I go back? Absolutely. Happy to have an upscale place to dine in our town. I hope the novelty dies down a little so its not so crazed. But good for them. And the food was great. read more

Hands down my vote for best gourmet burger spot in Western MA. High quality meat, cooked to perfection. It's a bit shocking, but they actually cook their burgers to desired temp. Great example of true craft. Plenty of additional options on their menu if you aren't in the mood for a burger. Not many more things more decadent than candied bacon lollipops. Must try. Talented bartenders with some pretty creative offerings. Booze and especially beers are overpriced, but I suppose that goes with the location, and the West Hartford influence. read more

The food itself is 3 stars for me, but great service bumped it up to 4 stars. I came here with a big group. One was vegetarian (Kind of funny that we came to a burger joint with a vegetarian, but meat eaters out numbered her). Here is what we ordered and what I thought about them: 1. Spinach Artichoke Dip- Large is a decent size to share with a group. It's warm, ooey, gooey and full of spinach and artichoke. However, be warned that it's not for people who cannot eat stinky cheese. Their dip has a little more zing and stinky cheese smell. I don't mind it so I really enjoyed it. I especially appreciated the fact that instead of corn chips, it came out with warm crunchy pita chips. 2. Tuna Salsa- It was find the tuna game. It was mostly tomatoes and salsa flavor was overwhelming. I was hoping it was more play on words. Tuna chopped up like salsa and little bit of tomatoes. Instead it was a lot of tomatoes, onion and your normal salsa mixture with bits of tuna pieces. It comes with corn chips. Nothing special. 3. Sweet potato fries- Everyone at the table enjoyed them. They came out crunchy yet soft in the center. Sweet, but balanced by the salt. Very delicious and cooked well. Nice portion. 4. Max Classic - I wasn't a fan of their sauce, but few other people at our table enjoyed it. The bad part about this burger was that it was over cooked. My friend order medium (pink), but it was well done on one side of the patty. It was dry and didn't taste great. Burger was just okay. 5. Kobe Classic- The guy that ordered this got it medium well, and he vacuumed it up without complaints. 6. Portobella burger- It was a bit tough. It should have been cooked a little longer. Sauce was not bad, but it was hard to eat. the portobella kept sliding out because it was 2 slices stacked on top of each other to fill the bun and since it was hard to bite through completely, it was a disaster while eating. Flavors are there though. 7. The grateful veg- Vegetarian friend absolutely loved it. She said it's up on her top 5 best veggie burger list. She substituted the sauce to the max burger sauce. She wasn't too big on the sauce, but the veggie patty was delicious. 8. cole slaw and onion rings- these were substituted for some of our sides. Cole slaw was terrible. Don't get it. It has no flavor and it's watered down. Yuck. Onion rings are good, but it's greasy. Greasier than the fries, but isn't that why you pick onion rings over the fries? 9. Mac and cheese- It's pretty mild. We had little children in the group and it was a hit. However, for me, I like it a bit sharper with dash of black pepper. Overall, food was okay, but our waiter was helpful, attentive (not overly) and the vibe of the place on Saturday afternoon was nice. I wouldn't mind going back, but will definitely make sure that the meat are cooked properly. read more

I wish there were more late night restaurants in the area, Max Burger would attract a lot of alcohol deprived students. There is a full bar with an expansive selection of drafts and bottles. Also they have a few craft sodas available. I ordered the blackjack burger with regular fries on the side. I asked for the burger to be cooked at medium and it came out perfectly. Unfortunately, I was not too impressed by the other ingredients in the burger. The onions and chilies tasted too sweet for me but it wasn't terrible. The fries were good, well at least the ones on top were. As I got to the middle of the fries it was nothing but potato skins that slipped into the batch. I appreciated the variety on their menu but the food didn't meet my expectations, especially for the price. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive, luckily we came when it was slow. read more

Max Burger - Blackjack burger - Burgers Near Me - Longmeadow, Massachusetts

New challenge with wife, visiting all the burger bars in the area. Been to some others but will start with Max Burger. Visited on a Tuesday around 4, seated quickly and prompt service from waitress. Great selection of drought beers and house made Sangria was excellent according to the wife. We started with the pulled pork spring roll, small portion for price but no complaints from us. Fried perfectly, tasted great but the accompanying slaw dip added nothing for flavor. Blackjack Burger cooked perfect temperature and additions added flavor to the excellent meat. Wife had the frisky chicken which paired well with the jalapeño spread slaw and mango salsa. Overall impressed with atmosphere and service. With so many options in area, hard to justify travel into Longmeadow but worth It in the end. read more

Boutique burger restaurants are the rage. This is hands down the best. I have eaten here several times and find it to be consistent across the board. Service is always attentive, educated, and friendly to a high standard. The burgers are seasoned perfectly. I recommend ordering medium rare here whether you normally do so, or even if you are typically a medium person. I've noticed that the medium burgers are a little over for my taste. My wife and I usually share a burger and the scallop salad which is amazing. They use a house cured bacon that is immaculate. Frankly, you can't go wrong with any of the burgers, order to what toppings you are in the mood for. As for sides, my favorites are either the truffle spuds (picture a mashed potato tater tot filled with the umami of truffle) and eggplant fries (particularly when they are first served and have the texture of pure meltiness. They also have an amazing beer selection and cocktail menu. My favorites are the Six Point Resin (beer IPA), Moscow Mule, and Maker's Bourbon shake. Highly recommended. Because of the combination of quality service, food and drink this is absolutely my go to for both date night and when we have guests in town. read more

I'm really a fan of this place but I'm not sure if it's because I really like the food and atmosphere or that there is nothing like it in the area. I've been to the Max Burger in West Hartford once and it was good but in thinking about the burgers themselves, I'd much rather be eating at Plan B. I just think that for a place which claims to specialize in burgers, they should have a larger selection of burgers and the meat does not even compare to the freshness that you would get at Plan B. But, Plan B burger comparisons aside, I do like this place for everything else. They have some good appetizers- we tried the pulled pork spring rolls which were delicious and their salads are also pretty diverse and tasty. If you're looking for deserts, their menu is not too interesting but they do have awesome milkshakes and I would strongly suggest the PB&J- it's awesome. As far as the atmosphere goes, it's a great place for a sit down dinner but around dinner time, it gets really busy and really loud in the bar area. The outdoor seating is really nice, even though it just overlooks a parking lot. Overall, a great addition to the area. read more

After two unsuccessful attempts at eating here because of long wait times or showing up too early before service, I finally made it in on the third try. We walked in and were asked by the somewhat snobby hostess if we wanted to sit in the bar or dining area, we said dining, but I wish we sat on the bar side. It has a very pretentious feel to the place. Like shit, I'm in Longmeadow, should I being wearing Gap clothes or a fine suit? Wearing shorts, a T-shirt, and a camouflage Patriots hat I felt all the upper class seniors staring at me wondering if I just came down from the mountains for my big night out. The dining area is very cramped (unless you're in a booth) with the maximum number of tables you could fit in that area being utilized. Our server came over and we ordered the pulled pork spring rolls and drinks. A different server brought out the spring rolls, which by the way were very good. Another different confused server brought out our main dishes asking us who had what. I ordered eggplant fries and got asparagus. I quickly noted the error and the server brought out the eggplant fries. It's not very professional using three different people for the same table. I ordered the inside out burger. It was cooked perfectly, thick, and wasn't dry. It was a much better burger than Plan B or Luxe in my opinion. The eggplant fries were pretty much tasteless. They had a salted crispy exterior, but were mushy inside. Would not get those again. The onion rings were decent, but were way too oily. Overall, service was friendly, but wasn't the best. However, the burger was outstanding. Beer list was above average. Would go back, but won't go out of my way. Three stars. Stopped in again for dinner and had about a 20 minute wait. That was fine. The host guy was real cool. The automated texting system really worked when our table was ready. The food was awesome this time around. Loved the sweet potato fries and the warm apple cake dessert. Our server was nice and started off good, but was hard to find towards the end. They still have the same issue with multiple people bringing out your food. Because the food was great this time and the service better I'm going to have to go with four stars. read more

We ordered online last night. It was efficient and easy. My order was ready when I got there, waiting for me in a bag. I did not have to speak with anyone or touch anything. I had the chicken entree...best chicken I ever had! With mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts and enough chicken for two meals. I wanted to support a local restaurant at this time and I will order again from Max's. Great job! Nancy H read more

If you're looking for a great delicious, upscale burger then Max Burger is the right place to go. I came in for lunch and was amazed by the great service that I received from the staff who made me feel at ease since it was my first time visiting. In addition, the wait staff was not overbearing like at some restaurants that bother you every single second, but they know when they are needed. I first ordered the PB&J milkshake since I have never fathom the thought of such a thing yet there I was sipping away at the nectar of the gods. The one thing that I really liked about the PB&J shake (besides how delicious it was) was it's presentation. It was MESSY! and I absolutely loved it because the shake was overflowing beyond the brim of the glass! The shake had a slight note of peanut butter with each sip, but I could not detect the jelly part of the shake. Nonetheless, it was something special that everyone should try at Max Burger if they are indecisive about what milk shake to get. In regards to my burger, I ordered the "Fun Guy" with a side of onion rings because I wanted to be a Fun Guy and spend $16 on an American Wagyu burger (totally worth it). The burger consisted of 8oz. Wagyu, truffled mushroom spread, arugula, French onion aioli, crispy onion strings on an artisan roll. The first thing that I noticed about the burger was its construction since the ingredient was not well distributed with each bite. In other words, I only taste certain ingredients within certain bites and rarely would be able to experience all of the ingredients in one bite. The truffled mushroom spread was delicious as well as the french onion aioli. The crispy onion strings was done just right since it was not what I consider to be "fried onion flavored batter." The side of onion rings were perfect because it was a large chucks of onions that was lightly batter, therefore there was more onion than batter. The sauce that came with it perfectly complement it. Max Burger is definitely the place to go for a well-crafted burger. read more

This restaurant is absolutely my favorite! Whether it is going for a date or catching up with an old friend, max burger is the place to go! The appetizers and beers are a must have! They always have local beers from breweries all around the pioneer valley and our great country. I shoot for the ones with the higher alcohol content so I get the most bang for my buck, but that's just me. Forewarning: these burgers are fat af! They are definitely so filling and with an appetizer and a few beers the stomach is bound to be filled to maximum capacity! I am not complaining though! I am fully satisfied and I am so happy I love down the street from this establishment! I always choose max burger when wanting to eat! read more

We've only been here once before about a year ago , not bad , warranted another visit , had the Buffalo Shrimp they were good . Ordered the Bacon onion smash burger , excellent. The fries were hot and crisp (hand cut) and the Ninja wings a pleasant surprise. My only issue was the cocktail service , it took quite awhile to get our first drink and I ordered a second one when we got the burger and wings and didn't get it til we were done and wanted to get our check. Just sayin. read more

Easily the most mediocre, plain, uninspiring burger I've ever eaten. Placed an order over the phone on which the, probably new, host took our order and repeated it back. Ordered 4 burgers, 1 with no cheese and one with a side of chilli. After driving 25/30 minutes to get home We unfortunately found that they messed up our order big-time. Did not get my burger without cheese, very upsetting and rather than chilli we got a cup of tomato soup. Who eats tomato soup with a burger? None of the specifications we asked for were accommodated. Will never return or even consider it a viable option, would not recommend unless you like boring flavorless burgers. More flavor from the veggies than from the burger. The fried were decent though. read more

I'm a Max fan. I've eaten at three of their other locations and call the Tavern among my favorite places in Springfield. I made my first (long overdue) trip to Max Burger last Friday night. As I mentioned in my tip they do not take reservations. Calling a half hour before you arrive can mean the difference of waiting ten minutes versus (at least) forty. I experienced the "ten" firsthand and watched as another couple waited the "forty". The atmosphere is comfortable, I'll call it "Beef Eclectic", it did seem a bit loud which sometimes adds to the experience, although a good part of the noise came from piped in music that I thought was over the top. Every staff member we encountered seems genuinely happy we were there. I like that. As is normal I tried to order off the menu. The waitress did not want to guarantee everything I'd asked for (which I respected) so she took my request back to the kitchen. I'd attempted to pretty much rework a new menu item so I'm sure it was new territory for her. I was pleased that they accommodated what I was looking for. My flank steak was truly perfect, the sweet potato fries a real treat. My wife said her burger was overcooked, but not bad enough to send back. It was Kobe and I recall the waitress cautioning that due to the size of the patty they didn't always come out perfect. I'd like to go back and try a different menu item (likely the ribs) but of course I'll call ahead. read more

Delicious! Friday night, 7:00, walked right in and sat at the bar. The place was jammin' though and I'm not sure we could have gotten a table. We sat towards the end and chatted it up with bar manager Mike and the entire waitstaff all night. Even the GM stopped by to say hello. Friendliest waitstaff I've ever seen. We had three apps. Best spinach and artichoke dip I've ever tasted (and I order it everywhere). Delicious - goat cheesy - and a ton of good chips for dipping. Buffalo wings were sticky and tasty. Bacon lollipops were a real treat - a thick slab of candied bacon on a stick with a sweet apple cider reduction. But I was dippin' them in the spinach dip - soooooooooo good! I had the inside out burger. I expected a small pocket in the patty filled with gorg, but I was pleasantly surprised that the gorgonzola was actually just mixed in with the patty. I get black and bleu style burgers everywhere and this one topped them all. Onions - perfect, seasoning - perfect, arugula as the greens - a nice touch. The fries are like an upscale fair fry. Crispy, hand cut, skins on, and flavorful. Ask for some Sriracha ketchup for a good kick. I almost forgot about the beer. Best craft beer selction you'll find. 'Nuff said. We were hesitant to try an upscale burger joint with all the other burger joints in the area, but it was well worth it. All the reviews knocking this joint probably whine about every restaurant. Don't bother reading them. Why are you still reading this? Get your arse over to MaxBurger. Tell 'em JB sent ya. read more
