Everyone has been telling us to try Max and we loved it so much we had it three times in one week. The burgers were good, but I wasn't particularly impressed by the fries. Now the chocolate shakes however....they were so delish I was drinking it despite it being the dead of winter and I couldn't feel my fingers as I was slurping it in the cold. What I'm trying to say is: try their shakes! read more

For a fast food place, this place is pretty excellent. They have a really easy touch platform to order food and you can switch to English which was awesome. The only thing I couldn't figure out how to do was say no whipped cream on my berry shake. The shake itself was very good, but as expected, got too sweet when infected by whipped cream. Had their cheeseburger, which reminds me of In N Out, ad their fries with sour cream and all the fixings. The restaurant and bathrooms could have been cleaner though. read more

Max - Berry shake, sour cream fries, normal fries and two max burgers - Burgers Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Actually decent for what it was. Our group had been told about this place at the beginning of a tour, saying it's like Swedish McDonald's. If Max was in the US, I would like it 5000x more than the Golden Arches. I liked all of the options, but what really got me was the milkshakes. They were actually thick, not some watered down, runny garbage. So thick I couldn't finish mine. We also tried some spicy nuggets, but had several different types of sauce. Again, no gourmet here, but better fast food than I had had in a while. read more

People say it is like a Swedish McDonald's, that is an insult to Max, McDonald's sucks!! We were here in May for lunch, ordered at the kiosk, forgot to put on cheeseburger that we wanted ketchup only, went up to counter and let employee know, he said no problem. Our food, including fries was excellent and the service was excellent. read more

Very good fast food joint! Interior: Lots of security actually which is smart to sort of control the area since at night time it's filled with not so sober people lol Food: Good for a fast food place of course! Love the fries! Overall: Definitely will become a late night eatery for some crispy fries and good sauce selections! read more

Max - Cheeseburger Meal - Burgers Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

A great value for money if you are hungry and looking for a quick fix. Except for coffee, I'd say better than McDonalds. The order process is really quick - you order at one of the cashless express tills or you could pay old fashioned way at the till. When your order number shows up time for you to enjoye there meal. Try Bearnaise sauce, it's awesome!! Only one toilet though, which might be a problem on a busy day! read more

Swedish McDonalds! But so much better. There are screens where you can order and customize your food. There are lots of options for both burgers and sides. There's even a protein style (i.e. lettuce wrap) burger options. The bun is so much better than American fastfood burger places. read more

Max - Burgers Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

"been winning Swedish hearts since 1968." No GMO, no trans fats, no antibiotics, no growth hormones...practically the In-N-Out of Scandinavia. Except no animal style and bacon makes an appearance on the menu. read more

Decent place to grab a burger. Tasty and hits the ccx spot. Automated computers makes sure your burger comes out just the way you want it. Tables and trash definitely could use additional help. Not very clean or well attended too. read more

Not a good burger spot. I'd rather eat at McDonald's. I was under the impression that they had higher quality food but for the price of the burger I got it was very cheaply made. It had my stomach turning for hours after. Never again. read more

Max. Max, Max. You are difficult to rate. Do I rate you next to McDonald's and Burger King exclusively? Even if I throw in the French chain Quick into the equation, you beat them easily. You're no KFC mind, but you are pretty good. Or do I rate you against the latest crop of gourmet burger places, in which case you probably don't even score except on value for money. That Max can even be mentioned in comparison with the big guns shows how much better it is than the usual fast food chains. The stuff people have said in other reviews is all true, it just depends on your perspective. So... Go here if you like fast food but want to try something more local. Go here if you like the novelty idea of using a Swedish language kiosk to order your meal. Go here if you like milkshakes or fries. Go here if it's 3am and the only other place that's open is the McDonald's across the road. Don't go here if you're the type of food snob who goes into a fast food chain expecting to find top quality restaurant style food that would normally cost 4 or 5 times the price. read more

In case you don't know it, Max is a Swedish fast food chain. But don't get confused, they are by far superior than Burger King and McDonald's. Burgers are bigger than regular McDonald's, even their frites are better (and frites are the things I like the most from Macdo) and they don't certainly look as artificial as Big M's. If you are visiting Sweden and you like fast food this is an obliged stop, they have several signature burgers that you should try as well as the milkshakes. Verdict: Will I go again? Oh yes! Will I recommend this place? Sure, even more to people visiting the country, to show them how a fast food chain should actually be. What about the price? Within the price range of typical American fast food chains. read more

On the scale of fast food chains, this place wins worldwide, hands down, easily. There is simply no company as committed to ethics, with as much taste, with as much locally sourced meat. Sweden has one of the best farming systems in the world in terms of treatment of animals and all of the beef, chicken and bacon at Max is from Sweden. The vegetables are sourced from Sweden, Denmark, and Holland. Sure, I'm just spewing this from their website, but I like Max so much I have actually *been* to their website to read about their company. They also create some fantastic youtube commercials (okay, I'm definitely drinking the cool aid). Things I've learned about Max: -The friscomål is worth the 8 kr upgrade over the originalmål -You will wait FOREVER if you go here after 3am on a Fri/Sat night -You will wait FOREVER if you are used to the speed of other fast food chains we won't name -Do NOT make your friends wait for you outside while you order Max (see above) -You will get a freshly cooked burger that looks like a burger -You will get a bun that doesn't taste like re-hydrated cardboard -You should substitute your fountain drink for a small milkshake or ramlösa -Don't let Swedes convince you to go to McDonalds over Max. Ever! read more

The spicy chicken burger is good but I am a bit disappointed with the bun. They have a wide selection of dips.

When you're after fast food in Sweden, there is only one place to go: Max. This Max branch is located in central Stockholm just by Kungsträdgården (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/1566286-Kungstraedgarden-Stockholm ), a popular meeting place and a nice location anyway. The food is simply miles better than at its competitors. This time I went for the chicken nuggets with hot creole sauce, which reminded me a bit of Notting Hill carnival. It just tasted better than there. read more

Max is the Swedish equivalent to McDonalds and for me it doesn't add much to the Fast food chain choices.Very similar food options and a very similar standard. Usually the clincher for me when I'm comparing these places is the chips, and I found the chips here to be very over salted and thin. Burger King for me is still the winner in this regard in my option. I got a chicken/bacon burger and it was 'meh' so its not somewhere i will be rushing back to. I think theres a lot better options out there for your money. read more

The ads on TV looked good. When I passed by one day, the place was packed. By packed, I mean the place exceeded all fire-code regulations and was spilling out the door at 12:15 pm. It must be amazing, right? Nope. It was just ok. It doesn't compare to Shake Shack or even Wendy's. The kiosk ordering makes things go a little faster, but there's still a wait because it's so popular. read more

Max was the only fast food I tried while in Sweden and I have to admit it is comparable to the states In-n-Out. I ordered a "low carb" burger, usually referred to as a protein burger with no bun, and you can definitely taste the quality in the meat unlike other generic fast food burgers. read more

Max - Burgers Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Since I was visiting Sweden for the first time and I saw Max all over the place, I decided to give it a try. We shared a small burger, mozzarella sticks, and a vanilla shake. Everything was pretty cheap and I loved the assortment of the dipping sauces they had there (tried the honey curry and it was interesting!) Unfortunately the flavors were all a bit dull though and even though McDees was way more expensive, it beats Max in taste. Worth a try once though! read more

Very good cheeseburger at midnight on a December night in Stockholm. Near the main shopping district in Stockholm. Computerized ordering kiosks. Has an English language choice -- but reverts to Swedish from time to time. Discernible however. As others say, this is a Swedish version of McDonalds or Burger King, but with more variety. This place was pretty busy at Midnight, but still room to sit or stand. Fastfood at a late hour in December near Kungstradgarden and Hamngatan intersection. read more

My late visit to this establishment was met by a mediocre display of fast food culture. My friend and I ordered at the same time, ordering the same exact burger, however my order came nearly 10 minutes after my friends did and were cold by the time we ate them. The entire staff did not have the proper head wear/ gloves, creating an unsanitary environment. All in all I understand it is a fast food restaurant, but I'd like to see some improvements in these chains. read more

My friend and I got the same order at this establishment, each paying separately and at the same time. His order came almost 10 minutes after mine, causing my food to get cold and slightly tasteless as we were waiting for his food. I'm addition to this, the people making the food had the audacity to not use gloves when they prepared my meal, creating an unsanitary situation leading my mind to what unwelcome bacteria might be in my burger. Despite the food being decent, I would like to see a little more organization and effort put into a restaurant. read more

If you know how good burgers are made, avoid this place. If you are up for McDonald's type of junk food, give it a try. Though there still are better fast food places out there. read more
