Best burgers in the area. You pay only slightly more than other burger places in the area but get a FAR superior burger. Love the dipping sauce that comes with the fries too. Rotating selection of beers on tap always keeps things interesting so there is something new to try every time you go. read more

So happy to have our favorite burger place open again! Had a great lunch and, as always, the burgers and fries were perfect, the service friendly and efficient, and we found ourselves relaxed and happy throughout. But we were sad to find our favorite salad off the menu...so a plea from big fans: bring back the Bacon and Blue!! read more

The service was excellent except for the super watery, gross, roadhouse mac n cheese. Really disappointing.

Bottom line on top: Good food, nice staff and nice atmosphere I had a pretty good experience here last night. Our server, Kyle, was friendly and attentive and was happy to answer questions we had about the menu and drinks. The location itself is nice - large but not too large. The outdoor patio is a great option for the area when it's not 100 degrees out like when I went. Furthermore, we got there very early and it wasn't crowded, but when we left it was PACKED. But here's the thing - I had my back to the rest of the restaurant and I didn't know it had become packed until my dining partner pointed it out. So somehow the noise level is low. I was trying to be relatively healthy so I went with the Frisky Chicken sandwich and eggplant fries. If it's eggplant it must be healthy, right? Everything was delicious - but as another reviewer noted, the eggplant fries will get a little greasy as they cool down and are best enjoyed quickly. I also really liked their homemade pickles. Kyle convinced us both to get dessert - I went with the strawberry rhubarb crisp a la mode - the fruit used in the crisp is seasonal. It was great - not too sweet and the tartness of the rhubarb paired well with the icecream. read more

We had a lovely visit however the food was not quite right. We enjoyed a cocktail and conversation while waiting for our food. They used to serve a delicious kale salad with fresh ahi slices seared to perfection and slightly raw inside. The menu has changed and a tuna burger is offered instead. I tried to get some assistance from the waitress in ordering this "burger " of tuna and explained I wanted it seared but not raw inside. It came out quite large and was pale, seared and raw inside. It was so thick it looked like eating dog food. It tasted ok and I tried to eat around the outside to enjoy the flavors but it was awkward. For some reason I didn't send it back. I did tell the waitress (who was very nice) I felt the presentation was akin to a dog food patty and needed improvement. I even took it home thinking I might cook it more and eat later. However my stomach hurt all evening and I couldn't bear to eat it again. I've included a photo....uggh read more

Max Burger - Tuna burger on lean green salad - Burgers Near Me - Longmeadow, Massachusetts

There are three higher end burger joints that just recently opened in Springfield, MA... this is the only place you should spend $15 on a burger at. Everything is done well. Drinks, sides, ambiance, service- you name it. I didn't say the burgers, but they are not done well but done superbly. I've been here roughly 10+ x's and cannot say I have had one bad burger. Cannot say the same for the other spots. You can really tell that management cares about the experience there guests have. Please if you are a meat eater, give it a shot, but prepared to wait in line if it's a prime night. read more

My family and I stopped in as we'd been craving burgers. Upon arrival, we'd been greeted by the sweet manager and waited no more than 15 minutes to be seated on a busy Saturday night. The food was cooked perfectly, burgers seasoned, fries crispy and drinks pretty good. We had an amazing server (Mike) that was super patient with us, had a great sense of humor and catered to all of our needs. Definitely would recommend. read more

Anything from the Max chain is great, highly recommend them. Casual, jeans place but it has a more upscale feel to it. Not a burger joint,...but a full service restaurant that does amazing burgers and other comfort food as wel. read more

Was visiting my bestie who lives in Longmeadow and this is apparently the place to be. It sticks out like a sore thumb in this area, but in the best way possible. It is the gastropub feel that I have come to love and adore here in California. They have a great craft beer selection, burger combinations to make your mouth salivate while just reading the menu and extremely friendly service. The burger was a tad over cooked, but the flavors were amazing. There are fresh house made dips for your fries. Oh did I mention house made pickles?! (ask for extra) Be prepared for a bit of a wait, but they do call ahead seating and you can always post up at the bar to enjoy some cocktails or beers while you wait. read more

Delicious burgers... just wish their macaroni and cheese and appetizer selection was a bit better and more expansive. The bacon app is delicious, though. Definitely check out Max Burger if you are looking for a delicious burger in the western MA area. read more

Best burger in the Springfield area. I usually build my own but you can't go wrong ordering one listed on the menu.

Was in town for our District Assembly, and when I knew that I was near this place, I drove my wife nuts!! So much so, we ate here twice, Thursday, and Saturday night. Thursday was a Great intro because our waitress was MAGNIFICENT!! She really knew the menu well, and recommended an excellent Belgian ale for me, and awesome shake for my wife (Banana's Foster Spiked shake). Enjoyed the Blackjack Burger, and my wife had the pan seared scallop Big Salad, and a cup of the soup of the day, potato with cheese which she said was very good. Returned Saturday with 3 friends, got the Miss Daisy this time, my wife, the meatloaf special, and I cant remember what the other friends had, but they all enjoyed their meals (the onion rings were awesome, so were the bacon lollipops, Fantastic!!). The only complaint? We have a 2 month old, and there was no changing table in the bathroom. Boss Man! You have a class business, it was hoppin' Saturday, but we did not wait long for our meals, our appetizers, and you have excellent folks on the floor, just hook that up Bro. Can't wait to visit Western Mass again so I can stop by. Doesn't hurt that my name is Max too hehe. read more

We have been to Max Burger a few times with our young children, and every time we have had amazing service and delicious food. The burgers are top quality; we refer to them as "steak burgers." The sweet potato fries are especially recommended by our kids! If we had one complaint, it can be a little loud in there. Less TVs and added noise would be helpful, especially for those of us with quiet voices. read more

This is no easy one to get from me but these guys nailed it real good. If you wish to get a drink don't worry because the bars' got the spirits & beers to get you wet (if you know what I mean). Burgers & sides are real good & it won't do much difference if you get a standard meal or a burger because it's seriously worth it all & the apps are very good as well. The milkshakes eclipse that of my other burger spot I gave high marks of. & got even that you'd not expect much of with other spots. Oh if the day is good you can also get a spot out on the patio too. read more

Stopped in for some food after a trip to Six Flags. The place was crazy busy on a Monday night, so we know it had to be good, and it was. Food: Great burger and BBQ plate. Fries were awesome. Great beer selection, both on draft in in the bottle. I really liked the atmosphere. Busy, yet not too loud. And tons of TVs with sports on. The only knock was our high strung waiter who was on to the next rapid fire question while not listening to the answer to the one he just asked. Wow, I was getting tired just talking to him. Definitely not the best and very unfriendly. I would definitely go back. read more

I heard a lot of great things from this restaurant both from reviews and friends who recommended it. Personally it was just ok nothing better than Red Robin honestly. We ordered the pork egg rolls which looked a bit old and chewy. The dipping sauce made it easier to eat. My husband ordered the Fatty melt which was in my opinion too much with the cheese and bacon but this might be your thing. I ordered the black jack which was good but overly seasoned after you took 2 bites. Service was ok, not blown away by it. I would rather go to Plan B on Columbus than back here. read more

Hubby and I stopped here en route to NH. So glad we did because it was delish! We got the pulled pork spring rolls and fatty melt to split. I left feeling fat and happy which is exactly what I was hoping for! read more

Max Burger - Fatty melt, nom nom nom - Burgers Near Me - Longmeadow, Massachusetts

I had a lovely dinner with my husband there this evening. I had the burger salad, it was a little confusing to order but I did get what I had wanted. It was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. My husband had the fatty burger. It looked fantastic and the bite I had was delicious! It's 2 grilled cheese sandwiches with a burger in the middle, how can you go wrong with that!?! The music was a little loud for my liking but not worth complaining about. I would definitely go back the next time I have a hankering for a burger! read more

Never been to the area and yelped this spot. It did not disappoint. The Meatloaf sandwich is so light and fluffy and amazing. I would also recommend the eggplant fries as they don't disappoint either. I stopped her because I was early for a meeting so I couldn't try all the beers but the selection was huge. Their draft root beer was good too! Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. All around great place. read more

Holy tenderness! This was one of the most perfectly cooked and flavorful piece of beef I ever had. I had time to spare while waiting for a wedding two miles away so I googled this. The service was great, Shaun could have been the most courteous and helpful bartender I've had the pleasure to meet. The sliders were cooked to order. Shaun asked "how you want it cooked?" As rare as you can get, I said... "You got it!" It takes skill to cook a smaller amount of beef to order, but as you can see by my photos... They were not small and they did it to perfection. Let's not mention the special sauce, hand cut fries, local IPA, and a smooth whiskey. I'll be able to sit through this Mass now because of this delightful experience. Thank you Max Burger! I will definitely make a pit stop next time in western MA. And believe me... Because I like food, and food tastes good! read more

Always good food and service. A go to for sure. Management is great and keeps a busy restaurant moving. read more

When you are selling burgers in the $15+ range and are given a choice of how you'd like it cooked, you sort of expect that they at least try to deliver. Not the case today for both my wife and my burgers. Waitress remarked well they can make a mistake once a year...,only thing the table next to us also sent a burger back. Perhaps the chef never heard of using an instant read digital thermometer. Draft beer was room temperature. All in all a disappointment for this high end burger joint. read more

Ordered the daisy burger with Brie. Too greasy and the patty tasted just ok. The sweet potato fries and eggplant fries were good. The eggplant fries especially just melt in your mouth. Friend ordered a turkey burger which was disappointingly dry. The bar area seemed like happening place for this quiet suburb. Overall, not impressed and will not return for this one. read more

Max Burger is into meat. There are cow pictures, maps of what cuts = what meat and even cow skulls. The decor is dark and masculine. It's about *meat.* So I kind of expected them to know what to do with meat. They don't. Our appetizer was the bacon lollipops, which were cute, but a brutal waste of gorgeous pork belly. What could have/should have been tender and delicious, was tough and chewy. When the server came back to "explain" our entrees, we knew that Max Burger was merely Max Pretentious. Our entrees were all right. No more. The price for 4 entrees, one appetizer was $88, way out of line with the quality of the food. We do not recommend this place. A so-so burger shouldn't be $20. Max Burger is going for the gastropub feel, lots of craft beers on chalkboards, but not backing it up with good food. read more

The kobe classic was not available, which was a let down. However, the max burger classic is on point. Burger is nice and juicy and the bacon is not over cooked. Their regular burger is so well made, and the flavor is not drowned out by sauces. The candied bacon lollipop is also very good. I was not a fan of the fatty melt, only for the fact that the bread was too soaked and fell apart. The french fries are alright if you are a fan of the soft style. I would have preferred crispy fries, but these were not bad quality, just not my style read more

This is one of the best burger places in the area. The customer service here is always excellent as well! The hosts/hostesses always make sure you're greeted properly and the waitresses I've had were attentive and friendly. I have had the blackjack burger, max classic sliders, spinach cheese dip appetizer, and the fatty melt. My favorite burger has to be the fatty melt. The grilled cheese outer layer adds a nice gooey cheesy flavor, but is very heavy with butter so I wanted to try a healthier option last time. Thus, I opted for the max classic sliders. They were equally delicious and I am pleased at how I only ate two of the three sliders instead of devouring a whole burger like I usually do because I don't know portion control/self control. Thus, the blackjack burger is my third favorite. The burgers are always cooked to exactly how you like. Whenever I order a medium rare, it actually comes as medium rare (instead of medium-well done like some other places I've been to). If you come here, you must also try the truffle fries because they are delicious! Lastly, I loved how the pita chips that came with the cheese and spinach were on the softer toasted side and were thick! I have been here five times already and will consistently be back. read more

I LOVE Max restaurants and this one is no exception! When I dream of a delicious, perfectly cooked Medium burger, I go to Max Burger. I have never had a bad burger here. The fries and milkshakes are delicious as well, but the star of the show is the burger. Check out the "specials" each day to see what kinds of burgers are featured. read more

I havent been there in a while, but there is a reason. I honestly got one of the worst burgers that I've ever gotten in my life. It was not cooked properly, and unknown to me, the burger that I ordered came with their "max sauce" on it. Skip the sauce. It was quite honestly one of the worst thing I've ever tasted. For the menu, price, and atmosphere, I expected so much more from this place. Total disappointment. I will never go back. read more

Ive always had a great experience here when dining in the bar area but not the bar itself. The bar manager is unattentive and unhelpful. But the servers and food are excellent. Ive never had a bad burger here but the tap list is mediocre... This is Longmeadow, get some good beer! Giana tonight was superb! read more

Since I was in the Springfield area, and wanted a delicious burger, I stopped at Max Burger Longmeadow. It's in a really great location, with plenty of off street parking. When we arrived at 7:30 on a Friday night, the parking lot was packed and there was a hearty crowd in the waiting area. Host said there was a 45 minute wait, and we gave our name and cell #. He was very courteous, and gave accurate updates on the wait time. He also asked if we preferred a booth or table. We got a drink at the bar, and before the first round was finished, we had our table. There is tons of seating here, as well as an outdoor patio that was quite substantial. Now about the food: Awesome It certainly meets or exceeds the quality of service and food I have had at the other Max locations. Burgers were cooked perfectly: med-rare, juicy with just enough pink. Fresh pickles were delicious. House made BBQ sauce is uh-mazing. The mashed potatoes are also absolutely delicious. I usually order these instead of fries, because they are THAT good. This place is sure to last, and is worth the drive if you want a great meal. read more

Rating not needed...the place is awful....ordered tuna tacos for pick up....no tuna...just vegetables. If I had been closer and I opened the packaging in parking lot I would have deposited the veggies on the reception desk. Not the first time...years ago my wife was in hospital because of salmonella caused by Max Tavern "shrimp special", bartender screamed at me because I complained my food was late, other time I ordered a steak ...didn't come the described way ...cold soup twice.......worse thing I know of: a waiter substituted a desert to two children who always got the same non-nut confection. The nut inclusive substitute caused immediate anaphylaxis in one child who warned the other. Max Burger Comp'd the desert... Today's visit was the first for me in 2-3 years...never again. People should be warned about this farcical and dangerous food establishment before there are more incidents....don't go there!!! read more

I'm rounding up from two and a half stars. Max Burger's newest location has some kinks to work out. When our group of four arrived on a Friday at around 7, we were quoted a half an hour wait, which turned into an hour and change. I don't mind waiting, but waiting 100 percent longer than we were initially quoted is frustrating. Once we were seated, the waiting game continued. Our waiter was nice enough, but the service was extremely slow and our dinner lasted almost two and a half hours as a result. My burger was overcooked, which was a downer, and not something I expected at a burger joint. Max Burger's wine and cocktail lists remedied the situation to an extent-- there were plenty of adult beverages to choose from, and my husband was particularly enamored with Max Burger's rendition of a Moscow mule. I had a "Name Dropper"-- Hendrick's, St. Germain, and grapefruit juice-- which was delicious. I'm optimistic that Max had an off-night when we visited, and am definitely willing to give it another try. read more

As the newest in a string of gourmet burger places in the Springfield/Hartford area I had high hopes for Max Burger. I'd say they were reasonably met. The server was extremely attentive and friendly, exactly the right kind of personality for a place like this. Even before 5:00 this restaurant was packed and by the time we left at 6:00 the line was out the door but she really was very personable and proactive. As for the food, the portobello "burger" was excellent but not quite as good as the one at Plan B in Springfield. My husband said his burger was good but light on the promised sauce. We also got a brownie sundae which was very rich and came with plenty of whipped cream. The only truly bad experience of our meal was the French fries which tasted like freezer burnt Ore Ida. If I come to an upscale restaurant I expect hand cut fries, not frozen from a bag. On the upside, they came with a side of ranch so that drowned out the freezer burnt taste a bit. Parking is plentiful in the Longmeadow shops and I'm happy to see another restaurant in this location. They seem to get very crowded and the space isn't huge, so I'd come early or late if possible. read more

My husband and I always come to Max Burger on Tuesdays for the Bacon Onion Smash Burger. OMG. . This is the best burger EVER!!!! You have to come in on Tuesday to try it.

**Better presentation/better tasting then Plan B or Luxe This is just a classy place; it's too bad it's in a random strip mall in Longmeadow and not in Noho or a place with somewhat of a scene afterwards. Beer list was pretty out there when I went with 6 others a couple weeks ago; lots of weird one I'd never heard of and didn't feel like trying; stuck with BBC Steel Rail. Burgers are actually cooked correctly and taste great, fries were piping hot. Sure, it's $13 for a burger but it's a boutique burger place; you're better off spending the $$ here versus Plan B where errors abound. Better beer list at Plan B though. Local Burger still takes the prize for best in all of WMass but this is a solid 2nd. read more

Nice ambiance and great selection of food and drinks. Flat screens all around and nice decor on the walls. A little on the noisy side on one end by the windows as a family actually moved to where I was sitting for a little more quiet. Tried their custom burger for the day, the "whoopi golburger" and the burger was very tasty. Was told that they tend to undercook their meats so I opted for medium-well and was not disappointed. Decent selection of beers on tap and a great selection of bottled ones. As you all know, service can be hit or miss depending on how your server's feeling. We came on a Sunday night so it wasn't too too busy, no wait for a table, food came quick, and our server was very friendly. Will go back again! read more

This place is understaffed. The wait for your drinks, apps, and meal is horrendous. One bartender for a busy Sat. during Mothers Day/ Graduation weekend. Food is very good....try the brussel sprouts and bacon pops. Drinks are weakest ever. In general, a trendy place you pay highly for with poor service and rip off on alcohol content in drinks. read more

We like this place for its ambiance and the fact that there is something for everyone on the menu. I can't say that I've ever had a really great meal here, but it's pretty reliably decent if you want to go out for drinks and a meal with friends somewhere that is a little on the nicer side. The salads are very good and a fair size even for the small. The other meals & appetizers, although I don't think I've ever had anything outstandingly special, are typically a good value for the price. The only time we've had issues worth mentioning with this place is when we've ordered takeout from them. Last time we got takeout my friend's fiancé got a burger and asked for it to be cooked medium rare. When we got home he took a bite out of it and it was VERY raw on the inside, almost blue. I am someone who can eat beef tartare with no issue but this is not really acceptable for a medium rare burger which is supposed to have a decent amount of pink on the inside but still be cooked through. Today when we ordered takeout I got a salad with salmon which I will admit I asked for rare, but it honestly looked as if it was lightly seared on the outside but looked more like uncooked salmon sashimi on the inside. The truffle fries & Brussels sprouts that we got on the side were very good as usual and my friend said that her salad (with no meat or fish) was pretty good as well. As I said, the service and food are always just fine when you dine in here, but takeout just misses something each time. read more

Great burger place. Frequently gets very crowded on the weekends, but it is worth it. Good beer selection and friendly staff. The daily specials are very good. The staff does a very good job of accommodating special requests and changes. Bartenders know what they're doing and are attentive. It is a little expensive for a burger joint, but it is Longmeadow, so it's to be expected. I agree with the other reviewers, the Candied Bacon Lollipops are amazing. read more
