Fabulous menu selections. The food and the service was amazing!! Definitely will be back to try the chicken fried steak!!! We have now been here twice and yet to have that (but have heard great praise for it)!! The oysters were fantastic! read more

My husband and I went in based on a recommendation from an acquaintance. We arrived for our reservation on time and were seated shortly after. Chicken fried steak was the recommended item from several reviews. As a country gal, I've had some of the best in Texas. Unfortunately, this wasn't it. The meat wasn't tender and the batter was too light in color. While it was crispy, the coating was too thick and not dark enough. The coating to meat ratio was off. Too much coating. We also ordered the lamb chops which were not cooked well. We sent them back and I'm grateful they were removed from our bill. That was generous. Unfortunately, like many of the one star reviews, the serve time was terrible. We waited an hour to get our food and we kept getting offered bread and butter. Again, that was generous but we wanted to enjoy our plates knowing the serving size from other reviews. Customer service by waiters was nice but they didn't handle any of the communication about the delay. That was all done through the manager. Again he was fine, but just not anything I need to go back to. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. We've been wanting to try Chef Andrew Weissman's chicken fried steak since it caused such a sensation that it closed down Mr. Juicy's due to its popularity. Once Max's Sister opened it was just a matter of time to find a night we could go and get a reservation. We finally made it. From the moment we stepped in, we were taken well care of. It is a nice, small, and romantic venue, perfect for a date night or intimate dinner with friends or family. The restaurant prides itself on paying staff well so tipping is not necessary, they say, but we did. The price point if the whole menu makes it affordable for such a lovely evening. For our first, but certainly not last meal there, I had an espresso martini, and it was the best espresso martini that I have ever had a pleasure to indulge in. We had water on the table and a server brought a tray full over accoutrements including orange, lemon, lime, and cucumber slices. What a nice detail. We had the bread service because I wanted to see what citrus ash tasted like. It tasted like heaven layered on love. This smokey flavoring envelops sweet cream butter then you slather it on delicate bread. For our main course we ordered the chicken fried steak with peppercorn sauce and the beef short ribs. My husband and I shared. I thought the chicken fried steak was delectable enough but those beef short ribs were something to dream about. They were fall apart goodness and extremely flavorful. I thought I made good short ribs but I bow to Max's Sister. We rarely get dessert out but we indulged because, why not. We each got our own dessert because, again, why not. My husband had the orange cake and I had the chocolate buttermilk cake. Both excellent but my favorite was the orange cake. It was basically a pineapple upside down cake with oranges. That was lick the plate good. We will be back. We have to try "all the things." The staff and our waiter in particular were knowledgeable, helpful, and personable and were at our Beckelheimer and call. From beginning to end, a fantastic night. read more

This review will be slightly biased because in my opinion chef Andrew Weissman can do no wrong. The first French inspired meal I ever tried was at Le Reve and changed my outlook on food forever. While I love Mr. Juicy, it is wonderful to see Weissman get back to what he does best at Max's Sister. A calamari was lightly battered and dressed with a honey chili oil glaze. Bread service included a butter rolled in citrus ash. The gold leaf risotto dusted in paprika was sweet and creamy topped with a parmesan crisp. My personal favorite was the cheese service, which included a trip to the beautiful cheese board that has an array of options from a Wisconsin blue to a brie that was smooth as butter. Served with apricots, local honeycomb, figs and almonds. The mood is dressy but relaxed and is the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch or celebration dinner. read more

This week I decided to revisit Max's Sister after having a very poor first experience 5 months ago. At that time I was very unhappy with the service. Wow.. now I have to revise my rating because the service was nothing short of impeccable. read more

ABSOLUTELY the best kept secret for the last three months on San Antonio's culinary landscape! Made a quick reservation and stepped into this quaint beautifully decorated and lit bistro-style space in The Alon shopping center. We were greeted with a smile by the host at the door and swiftly seated at our table. We were greeted again by two different servers before our water carafe arrived and yet another server arrived offering fresh fruit for our water. Our "actual" server arrived soon after, made introductions, and took our drink and appetizer order. We began our culinary adventure with the bread plate beautifully presented with four different portions partnered perfectly with softened butter wrapped in a layer of citrus ash. We also had a generous portion of Risotto with brown butter and aged parmigiano. Both were beautifully presented and tasted just wonderful. Our server took our entree order which, given all the tasty choices on the menu, I decided on the Sunday Supper Meatloaf accompanied by spicy carrots, fresh green beans, and potatoes mousseline. When the entree arrived, it was presented just beautifully on the plate. The carrots and green beans were perfectly prepared, and the bed of whipped potatoes were soft and creamy. Now... the shining star of the show... and honestly speaking, I don't at all say this lightly, I enjoyed every bite of what I will admit may have been the most decadent and savory and even juicy perfectly prepared portion of meat loaf I have ever had in my life. Seriously, every forkful tasted like it was the perfectly caramelized corner piece from the meatloaf pan my mother used when she made it for me when I was a kid! All said and done, the dining room and ambiance, the extra attention to service and personal interaction, the menu, the perfectly paced meal, and especially the food... was perfection. The secret is out! Amazing job Max's Sister! read more

Made reservations on Resy for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is located in the Alon shopping center. It is right next to JUGO. We were seated as soon as we arrived. Water was given to us immediately. We were asked if we wanted some type of garnish for water. They had grapefruit, cucumber, lime. We were given the brunch menu, but they also had off menu specials. Arturo went over the specials and his recommendations. We started off with the crabcake, which was the best starter. It had great flavor and it was big enough to share between two of us. I ordered the pancake, but shared the Shakshuka with my mother. So, I had a sweet and savory breakfast. The Shakshuka is tomato dish with eggs. It was good, but it had too much oregano over me. It did come with two poached eggs. They were a little overdone as the yolk was not runny. It Came with the best crusty French bread. The bread was great for soaking up the sauce. The pancake was huge. It was delicious, thick, and the fruits on there made it sweet. I didn't even put any syrup on it. It did come with two slices of bacon. They do have a fullService bar. They have mimosas and bloody Mary's for brunch. I opted for a glass of Prosecco and my mother got a latte. She loved her latte. It came unsweet, but they brought out three types of sugars Everyone was super friendly from the start to the end. Arturo, our waiter, did a great job taking care of us. The place is small, but has booths and tables to accommodate all. It is quiet, so this would be a great place to meet up with friends for conversation. It is definitely a great place to treat yourself. Parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses. read more

Food: Excellent! All 4 of us enjoyed our entrees. We got a Caesar and their spinach salad as starters to share. Loved the salads. I got the chicken breast, wifey got the trout, friends got the salmon and the branzino. All winners. Service: very good. Attentive, polite and checked on us periodically without being over bearing (Rueben) Ambience: good but a little close. We could have reached over and picked up our neighbors patty melt ! Definitely plan to return read more

Date night with our favorite couple that treated us out to this new restaurant! The location is slightly hidden in the shopping center of Alon market, right next to Jugo. I started off the night with an espresso martini, which was perfect balance in flavors. For appetizers, we got the whole quail and crab cake. I enjoyed the crab cake more because there was a natural sweetness from the crab and the lemon with cream sauce was a perfect complement. Quail was also nicely cooked, but I thought the sauce was a little salty. For my entree, I got the branzino. My friend got the trout and the branzino was a much better choice, although both were good. The service was on par, but they also notified us there might be a slight wait for the food, which wasn't that bad. Will definitely come back! read more

We had heard good things about Max's Sister but went in with tempered expectations, especially since it's still relatively new. Loved everything about it, and I think it's going to be a new favorite! We started with a 3-cheese board (somehow ended up with four) that came with some warm pieces of baguette. It was finger licking fantastic! We also shared the chopped wedge salad. Super flavorful and perfectly balanced. It was at this point we realized we were going to love this place. For our main course, I chose the mussels and frites, and DH had the porchetta. The last time I had mussels and fries that good was in Belgium! Every mussel was perfectly cooked and, for someone who's not big on fries, the fries were excellent in both flavor and texture. After you finish the mussels, let them soak up some of that sauce and enjoy every bite. Porchetta isn't something you commonly find in restaurants here, so DH was excited to see it on the menu. I had a bite and it was superb- tender and full of flavor. He raved about the entire dish and polished off the plate. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert, but we won't make that mistake again! The menu is separated into sections with everything in that section being the same price, apart from a few exceptions that come with an additional charge. Starters and salads were 17, entrees were 26, desserts were 15. Without any alcoholic beverages, our total with tax came to $101, which we felt was extremely reasonable. There's a note on the menu that says tipping is optional but appreciated because employees are paid a living wage. We gladly tipped for the food and Ethan's exceptional service. The interior is clean and simply yet beautifully decorated. It gives off a higher end vibe but feels very relaxed. Reservations are highly recommended. This place is already popular and I had to search several dates before I could find one with availability that worked for us. read more

Good food, but incredibly pricey. I ordered the chicken fried steak, for $25. I also had a skinny Rita for $11. The meal and service were good. The place is nicely decorated and the overall experience was very nice. I did think the prices were very high. Two of my friends ordered a meatloaf and a Dutch boy (which is combo between a crêpe and a pancake). In my opinion, their portions were not comparable to the price. Also, the service was very good, but two people at the table had orders additional items to share and had stated that those items were to be put on their bills. However, that is not what happened, and they were divided into all four bills. I believe that as waitstaff these details are fairly important. The overall experience was very nice and the location was ideal. Prices would give me a pause, but food was tasty. read more

We are so happy that we are ending our year with bunch at Max's Sister. The service was personable and attentive. The room was light and comfortable. Each mouthful was exciting. Amazing breakfast potatoes. Moshe's giant pancake had perfect balance. Bread service fresh from the oven with rich beautiful citrus butter. I hope that this restaurant is a part of our life for many years. read more

The service was pretty good, love the menu pricing and the mushroom risotto was devine... until I found a hair in it. I was discreet reporting it to the server, who removed it but didn't acknowledge it. The chicken fried steak was 75% batter and 25% steak. Overall, not likely to go back. Sad - I had such high hopes! read more

Having followed Chef Andrew Weissman's evolution from the rarefied heights of Le Reve and Osteria Il Sogno to the coastal elegance of The Sandbar, the focused Mediterranean simplicity of Mosche's Golden Falafel, the formal grandeur of Signature, and the expertly casual Mr. Juicy, I feel uniquely qualified to comment on his latest venture. Max's Sister is a new, exciting concept that successfully marries the precision of French technique--the chef's enduring specialty--with the satisfying comfort of classic Americana. This synthesis is presented within a unique structure: every appetizer and dessert is fixed at $15, and all entrees are fixed at $24. The menu philosophy is complemented by a progressive service model, ensuring servers earn a livable wage, meaning tipping is not expected (though, of course, always appreciated). The experience is further elevated by the impeccable service; on my first visit this morning, the entire front-of-house staff operated with polished efficiency, anticipating needs without hovering. The appetizer course immediately demonstrated the kitchen's ability to refine the familiar. The Caesar salad was a lesson in texture, featuring crisp, lightly dressed hearts of romaine and a bright, umami-rich dressing that avoided the heaviness often associated with the classic. Its counterpart, the baby spinach salad, was a study in harmonious contrast. It arrived studded with buttery poached pears, crunchy candied pecans, savory roasted bell peppers, and bound by a rich roasted garlic dressing. Both salads set a high bar for the meal to come. For the main course, I could not resist the return of the massive Wagyu chicken-fried steak. This dish, which once achieved viral phenomenon status during its limited run at Mr. Juicy, anchors the menu as the ultimate expression of the restaurant's concept. The high-quality Wagyu cut was tenderized expertly, given a shatteringly crisp crust, and served over a bed of smooth potatoes moussaline. Accompanying it were crisp haricot verts that possessed a deep, smoky flavor, suggesting they were sautéed, deliciously, in bacon fat, providing the perfect counterpoint to the richness of the steak and gravy. Equally impressive on the entree side was my father's thyme-roasted crispy skin trout. The fillet was roasted perfectly, resulting in skin that retained a satisfying, audible crispness. It was served alongside creamy, crispy fingerling potatoes and tender Brussels sprout florets. The entire dish was finished with a light, slightly sweet berry reduction that proved just how delicate French saucing can elevate simple seafood without masking its natural flavor. A necessary callout must be made to the phenomenal bread service, another testament to Weissman's commitment to quality. It included a generous slice of crusty baguette, three light, delicately glazed Parker house rolls, and an accompanying plate of rich European butter. Crucially, the butter was rolled in burnt citrus ash, a sophisticated, aromatic holdover that veterans of Signature will recognize and appreciate. To conclude the meal, I indulged in the chocolate mousse caramel tart, a stunning example of dessert as architecture. The dessert came highly recommended by Chef Weissman's wife, who oversees the dining area. The dark, decadent chocolate mousse was balanced by the sweet, sticky layer of caramel and nestled in a flaky chocolate crust. It was served alongside a scoop of house-made Madagascar vanilla bean ice cream, the floral notes of which cut through the richness of the tart beautifully. It was a flawless ending to a meticulously crafted menu. Max's Sister has only been open for a week, and while some minor adjustments are likely to occur as the team adapts and adjusts to unforeseen issues, the staff appears to be confident and well organized. Given the small, intimate size of the restaurant and the renowned chef at the helm, reservations are an absolute must to secure a seat at this exciting new establishment. Highly recommended! read more

It breaks my heart to give Max's Sister less than 5 stars. I've been an Andrew Weissman fan and follower since the days of Le Reve and, subsequently, Il Sogno. Cocktails first, of course. My first gripe is that they have only 2 gins: Hendricks and something called Ranch gin. Never heard of Ranch Gin and I'm not a Hendricks fan. Someone needs to tell them that there is a resurgence of interest in gin. 6 vodkas on the menu and only 2 gins? No, not working. Get some Bombay Dry or better yet Tanqueray #10 or Botanist, for heaven's sake. We can't be the only lovers of proper martinis that are going to come in the door. On to the food. We were a party of 4. Both couples split ceasar salads and they were perfect. Plenty of shaved parm on top and lightly dressed, not sloppy. My wife ordered the chicken fried steak because someone has to. It lives up to its reputation. They offer 2 sauces for the CFS and she asked for both on the side so she could compare. Both were rich, flavorful and balanced, but the green peppercorn sauce wins hands down, IMHO. The two guys at the table ordered harissa-rubbed lamb chops, medium rare. Amazing. Our friend, D, ordered the fresh caught salmon, which was seared on the outside and perfectly moist and medium inside. Accompanying veggies were al dente. I must stress that all of our food was fantastic and very much deserving of the hype this restaurant gets. Weissman still at the top of his game. Problem: After we ordered, our bread service and salads came out immediately. We ate, loving life and enjoying what was so far a near-perfect dining experience. We finished our salads and the bread and waited for the entrees. And waited. And waited. A full 35 mins, maybe 40 minutes later our entrees appeared. By then, we had consumed most of the wine we ordered. My last gripe is the noise level. Certainly, this is partly a product of the popularity, but it was definitely difficult to hear each other without leaning forward in the booth. The great lengths they have gone to in decorating could easily have included some acoustic panels high on the walls. So there it is. I'll go back, but I'll take my noise-cancelling earbuds. read more

I had the worst dining experience EVER at a new restaurant, Max's Sister, and probably will never return. Here are the highlights. We order a drink. It tastes horrible. The salad was good. We ordered our food and after waiting an hour, it never arrives. Nobody ever comes to the table to explain what's going on or to offer us some bread or something to hold us over. After we catch our waitress, she explains the kitchen is backed up. SAY WHAT?!! For an hour? And that's not the worst of it. The manager comes to our table and says, "Well we let you come in without a reservation." Can you imagine that? They didn't say we can't serve you tonight. They seated us. Now he's blaming us (2 people) for the kitchen being backed up. Instead of apologizing and trying to make things right, he's blaming us! I paid the bill for one drink and salad - $35 - and walked out. By the way, we weren't the only ones who were waiting for our food. The people at the table across from us were angry. They waited 1 hr. and 15 minutes. And I hear the table behind us ask the waitress if their dessert is ever coming. On top of all that, we arrived at 6:30p and were told they were out of 2 entrees and 2 desserts. How in the world is this happening? Now, before you tell me the restaurant has only been open for two weeks and I should give them a chance, let me say this: If you can't serve customers the way you're supposed to, then don't open the doors. If you're going to ask me to pay, then it should be a great experience. And you should also know this restaurant isn't run by some mom and pop or a novice. This is an Andrew Weissman restaurant. He is probably the closest thing to what San Antonio can call an "acclaimed chef and restauranteur." He and his wife are there. I don't know what's going on, but I can tell you it's not good. read more

Had an amazing experience at Max's sister! Everything was amazing from the moment we walked in, to the door being held and warm goodbyes till we walked out. Our server, Ethan, gave us impeccable service. He let us know our table was ours for the evening and made sure we were nice and relaxed all night while providing attentive but not over bearing service through our "leisurely dinner experience" The food was absolutely decadent, from the crab cake appetizer to the short ribs I had for dinner and the branzino my wife had, it's was the best meal we've had in a while. Ethan suggested a fantastic wine to go with both our dishes -he is well versed through out the entire menus knew his wine and liquor as well. We ended with coffee over the best blueberry pie I've ever had. We will definitely be back to see Ethan and what the chef has in store for lunch! read more

Great experience. We needed to hit HEB and stopped in to see if they had availability for lunch about 11:30 and they did. Honestly only half the place was full. Ethan was super attentive as was all the staff. Several people stopped by to check on us and see how things were going. Our meals were great and my wife loved the glaze on the meatloaf. Bread service was good, I prefer 4 of the ones will oil that were spongy next time lol. My chicken fried steak was great. Just an fyi menu prices have gone up about a $1 across the board from what is posted on here. No big deal. Everything as great we will definitely be back. read more

I'm a bit mixed on this place from my experience. Came on a Sunday. The one thing that was stellar was the service. Waitress was so kind and had that southern hospitality feel. Drinks were always full. All the staff seemed to really elevate the experience. The not so stellar for me was some of the food. Calamari was a little too chewy for my liking and the breading was so thick that it just falls right off the meat. Didn't care for that. Meatloaf was pretty solid, nothing spectacular. Chicken fried steak was phenomenal. Perfect meat to breading ratio, but the mashed potatoes had this extremely prevalent sour cream flavor that's all I could taste. I let them know and again the wait staff being so good they let me change it to their pan fried potatoes with rosemary which was excellent. And for dessert we got blueberry and cherry pie made in house and both were exceptional. All in all a solid experience. Will want to revisit again. read more

I was very much looking forward to eating here after reading reviews and enjoying all of Andrew's other restaurants. This experience was incredibly disappointing. Six of us had dinner on 4/29/26. It took an hour and a half to get our food. During that long wait, our server never checked in with us to update us, see if we needed anything, or apologize. The manager did not either. The food was average to below average. The octopus was tough and overdone. Tasted like it had been under a heating lamp for a while. The scallops were cooked okay- but over salted with a sauce that tasted like a milkshake and with glue-like potatoes- I think they were potatoes! Hard to tell as no real taste. Others in our party did enjoy the trout and chicken fried steak. I spoke with the manager afterwards and he was polite and somewhat apologetic and took my name and number- but not very responsive. I will not be back as so many other wonderful restaurants to go to in SA!! ... Thank you for your response John. But you should get your facts straight before blaming your customers for the shortcomings of your kitchen and staff. Our reservation was at 6:30pm. My partner and I arrived at 6:45 pm. We were 15 minutes late and not 45 minutes late. The rest of our party was there. If I had any second thoughts about trying your restaurant again- I certainly don't now. High class restaurants treat their customers with class and don't put the blame of a poor performance on the customers.. read more

Have been there for brunch and lunch. Welcoming staff and atmosphere. Had the omelette for brunch and it melted in my mouth. Did not try the pancake, but understand it was gigantic and probably needed to be ordered as a shareable with at least four people! Sorry I won't be able to do that now that they are no longer serving brunch. I had the Branzino for lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Very rich and almost couldn't finish it, but I did! read more

My wife and I were both really impressed with the food and service. This is not a place where you want to be in a hurry. This is a culinary experience.

Enjoyed an outstanding brunch this Sunday at Max's Sister. The brunch menu had many options from sweet to savory. We enjoyed the gold leaf risotto, moshe's massive pancake, omelet goat cheese and ended the meal with an espresso pot au creme. Each item was executed immaculately and full of flavor. From the time we entered the restaurant and throughout the meal the level of service was superb. We truly cannot wait to come and dine at Max's Sister again following such an amazing experience. read more

My daughter and I went here for lunch a couple of days ago. I had the "Moshi's part of mussels" they were very good. I would really like to have had some bread, but on the menu bread service was $10. I can't imagine anyone charging that much for some bread to accompany a main dish. The service was very good. I have no complaints here. As to ambience, it was very crowded that day and very noisy with lots of people talking many of them rather loudly and music playing over speakers. Unfortunately, the music was so loud that all you could hear was the "thump - thump - thump" of the bass. It would've been better without the percussive noises. read more

Max's sister is a fabulous restaurant!!! It is a love letter to family and neighborhood hospitality that has now opened in north central. The food is treated with love and respect that is only rivaled by how the guests are treated, as if visiting a dear friend or family members home for a familial meal. Whether lunch or dinner and also brunch, you will not be disappointed by this deeply personal and outstanding experience! read more

Great food and atmosphere without having to travel into the Riverwalk area. The servers were very attentive and knowledgeable.

The bread and butter was fabulous. The chef makes his own butter! The spinach salad with roasted garlic dressing was a huge serving that we four women shared, and it was terrific. The roasted garlic gave it a unique wonderful flavor. The salmon was splendid with a delicious sauce. Next time I'm going to have the cheese board. The cheeses and condiments are on a cart just like in France. You go to the cart and pick out your cheeses and condiments. I highly recommend Max's Sister. read more

Stopped in on a Friday night at 7 pm without a reservation hoping for a chance 2 seats at the bar and was pleasantly surprised to get a table. Staff incredibly attentive and simultaneously gregarious and polite. It was a treat to have someone come by our table after our water was poured asking if we wanted a fruit garnish (choices being thinly sliced wheels of lime, lemon, grapefruit, and mint sprigs). Our two cocktails from the bar were precise and delicious. I had the Max's Reviver and my dining companion had a slightly modified old fashioned with a clever name that I cannot recall at this moment but it was a homage to the drink, the restaurant, and neighborhood. The food menu is cleverly set up with all dishes for each course at a single price (appetizers, entrees, desserts) w a modest up charge for one beef dish. This menu really does have something for everyone with dishes running the gamut from haute cuisine to comfort food classics like chicken fried steak. My date started with a Caesar salad while I munched on a plate of onion rings with a spicy ketchup. I did encroach on the salad, which was made from excellent produce. There are restaurants where you leave about a third of the lettuce on the plate because it's just not up to par and places where each leaf is perfect - Max's Sister is the latter. I had the roasted chicken gnocchi special for dinner and my date had the sirloin with peppercorn sauce with frites ($5 up charge) - both excellent. My date has a gluten allergy and they were very attentive to it, confirming the peppercorn sauce did not contain flour. We didn't have dessert due to there not being a GF option available. The space seems to accommodate both large and small parties - we saw two groups of at least 8 doing some sort of celebrating. My only note is that we seemed to wait a while between our appetizer and entree, but I also suppose that suggests they are actually preparing the food and not serving plates that might have been prepped beforehand. read more

Was our first time there and was very impressed with the atmosphere and outstanding hospitality and service we were very spoiled.

So happy to have the Weissman's back with another full service restaurant! Missed Il Sogno! Made pre-reservations before Max's Sister opened and did not disappoint! Interesting new menu and some of the long time servers back in action. Decor is basic but the food and service were stellar! The "Mr Juicy" chicken fried steak is still terrific! The braised short ribs flavorful and tender! Cannot wait to try some of the other dishes. Prices are very reasonable for the quality.
