This is one of the best burgers in the Chicago area. The only place that might compare is Portillo's, but that is kind of a different "style" of burger. Everything else is great- there isn't really anything I could complain about here and the guys who own it are good dudes. read more

Delicious beef, and fries. Mountain Dew Code Red in the fountain drink selection too :)

Disappointed. For the second time my order was screwed up. The first time I paid for extra cucumber sauce on the side, but they didn't even put any on the gyro to begin with. So I was left with a huge gyro with a tiny cup of sauce. It is a shame because the gyros are delicious. This last time, I ordered 2 cheeseburgers that had nasty yellow pieces of lettuce on it, plus they but ketchup on my fiance's burger which he did not want. The food is decent, but not worth it in my opinion. I won't be back. Also, the owner or who ever takes the orders needs to try a smile once in a while. read more

The first time I came here I liked the gyro and they are generous with the home cut fries . Today as usual they are not friendly or smile . They are definitely over priced . I asked for a gyro sandwich and side of fries but they never ask me if I wanted small or large . Total came out to be $10.26.. if I ordered a drink it Would be $12 plus tax . The gyro wasn't all that great either . They don't give receipts so I believe they just charge u whatever price . Cheeseburgers are $5 and up and small fries are about $3 and up.. I glanced at some of the prices and it didn't fit the quality or taste . Not a friendly establishment, will definitely not return read more

Great food need to upgrade the inside. Try it out just don't judge a book by its cover

The food is phenomenal. Best burgers around. I've been coming here for years. However, the guys who run the place are absolute jerks. Never once have I been greeted or thanked, and on several occassions I've seen the owners berate customers over trivial mistakes. The only time an owner has tried to make conversation with me was to rant about one of the aforementioned customers, as if I was supposed to agree with him. Great food. Just don't bring your kids here. Or a good attitude. I get a real "Soup Nazi" vibe every time I go in there. read more

I always get a hot dog and onion rings, their onion rings are out of this world, the hot dogs are pretty average. The service is HORRIBLE. The place was completely empty when I came in, and the man behind the counter was texting on his phone and wouldn't even look up or speak to me. I got to the counter and he STILL was on his phone ignoring me, after about a solid minute he looks up and says, " One minute." And FINISHES HIS TEXT MESSAGE. After he was done he took my order as if I was the greatest interruption to his precious text message and there was no thank you, have a great day, or even a pissed off goodbye. Just right back on the phone as soon as my card was slid through. I'd rather pay more money for the same quality hot dog as portillios to at least have someone smile at me when I walk in. read more

This is a very good place!!! I was very happy when I try Italian beef at this restaurant!!! Juicy bread, a lot of beef, cheese and sweet paper+ a lot of french fries!!! I like it!!! I am very recommended this place!!!!! Thank you!)))) read more

The fresh cut fries are amaaaazing here. I would eat them daily but I don't want a heart attack before the age of 40. Drawback is the service. I've been in there several times and there's always the same guy at the register and he is ALWAYS rude and cold. Doesn't even say hi or ask me what I want to order. He literally just stands there in his t shirt and shorts and stares at me until I speak. I'm pretty sure he is the owner too. I'm giving it a 3 because I'm feeling a little nice today however there are times when I leave that place, after being stared at, questioning why I still eat there. Guy needs a hug. Why so angry? You have a business in a decent part of town that does pretty well. read more

The food is average at best and over priced. When you walk in you can't help but notice that the counters are falling apart and the place screams anything but clean. read more

I ordered delivery from here using Eat 24. After 45 minutes they informed me they didn't have a delivery driver available and they were canceling my order. My toddler and I now have to scramble at 12:30pm for lunch. This is unacceptable. read more

Great joint for burgers, beef, gyros, hot dogs. Best is that they make fresh cut fries to order. Theyre always hot! Good onion rings too. I wish they would offer fried mushrooms. Only counter space for eating in but I always pick up my order. Pricey for a beef/hot dog stand but I like to support local businesses. Easy parking. read more

Maxwell's must have had a bad day ... stopped in for an Italian beef and French fries. The beef was so-so, the bun/bread was burnt and falling apart, the French fries were awful - so full of grease, some were soggy and some were way overcooked. read more

Was traveling in the area and ended up here on a recommendation. Got the Italian beef, gravy bread and fries. The fries were pretty good, though I was too full to eat more than a couple. The Italian beef was excellent as was the gravy bread though ordering both is kind of overkill. Definitely would go back to this place if I'm ever in the area again. read more

I had the beef and onion rings, both were very good! They have some of the best onion rings I've ever had from a fast food restaurant. It will be hard to try some other menu item here because the beef and rings are awesome! I will come back to Maxwell's read more

I have decided to give 2 stars because my husband LOVES it and gets it often....I, however, hate it! There is a weird and gross smell when you walk in and the food is pretty bad (in my opinion). read more

Ordered a gyro and the full gyro plate. It was more than the wife and I could eat. We will definitely be back, will for sure try the Italian beef and anything else they serve. great little diamond in the rough. read more

This place is one of my favorite spots to grab food. Been going here for 10+ years and I never had a bad experience. Food is always so delicious and has good quality. Gyros, gravy bread, cheeseburgers and fries I suggest you trying. read more

Thought the beef was good, had it dipped in the gravy. Didn't like they served the gardinara on the side would rather have it put on the beef when ordering. Really liked the fresh cut fries though. read more

Food tastes great. Authentic burger joint. Greasy and great! Owners are old time Chicago. The only thing stopping me from rating five stars is the less than perfect level of cleanliness. I'm willing to look past because the food is tasty and it's tough to find places like this out in the western suburbs. Ten bucks even for a burger fries and pop. The burger is good size though, and fries are quite abundant. read more

Great Italian beef. The key for me to making a great Italian beef is the seasoning. The sandwich was season perfectly and the giardinera was tasty as well read more

I just moved into the apartment complex down the street and my boyfriend and I love to go there! Their Italian Beef is amazing and my boyfriend loves the burgers. GREAT FOOD! read more

So overpriced. Two hotdogs and fries. $9.50? If it had been the best EVER maybe would have been worth it. I would have been better off grabbing a Nathan's dog at the Sam's Club. The thing with Maxwell is you're paying for a ton of fries whether you want the fries or not. I don't. Same price. read more

So disappointed. My mom asked for everything on her hot dog, but no red pepper. They put red peppers on and no ketchup and the hot dog was cold. My dad's was warm but rubbery and the fries were super mushy and way too salty. We go here often and was so bummed. It was like they didn't care and this was around 430pm read more

Excellent place nice service perfect sunday specials. Gyros are perfect with their cucumber sauce and excellent hot dogs

Their Sunday special is very reasonbly priced. If you are near 63d & Woodward and need a bite, the quality is great and the prices are great. Their Polish Maxell style rules! read more

Luv their fresh cut fries. They used to be here in Westmont and I miss them. The owners are brothers and are so nice and friendly. Have only had a few things since I always tend to order the same things but the burgers are awesome and the beef sandwiches are yummy. We tried to get a delivery thru Yelp yesterday and it was a disaster so if you can't get there in person DO NOT try Yelps delivery service read more

I decided to try this because it had pretty good reviews for the beef sandwich. I asked the guy at the register of they made their own beef because I saw the Vienna signs everywhere. I HATE Vienna beef. He said yes. I'm willing to bet they don't make it. It was awful, chewy meat, and lacked flavor. Head up the road to Teddy's instead. read more

Fresh cut fries are soggy grease bombs that are never cooked properly. I despise them. Except from Maxwell's. Most of the time they are done right. Why did I post a review on fries? If you want a Hot dog. The only way you can get it is to pay 5 dollars. It comes with fries....a lot of fries. More fries than is necessary for one hot dog. However they are trying to justify the 5.00 price. Italian beef is delicious. I have removed one star because their hot dogs don't come with tomato, and their Gyros are way too expensive. read more

aaaaaaahhh this place has the best cheeseburgers for lunch time you can experience. me and my co-worker molowa would go there at least once a week. there burgers are so big, i cannot eat it all at once. they are quick also read more

The beef and Italian sausage sandwich are phenomenal. The fresh hand cut fries are as good as they get. The burgers are also very very good. Every time I'm in the area I make sure that I stop by and get the best sandwich in the area. Also another favorite is their homemade Italian ice, unbelievably delicious just like getting it on Taylor street. This place is definitely worth the try, won't be disappointed. read more

Food is good.. prices are extremely high.. $4.79 for a hotdog and fry.. and as another person mentioned.. the guy behind the counter isn't to inviting.. Definitely could be A LOT friendlier!!!!!!!!and the inside definitely could use a makeover.. crap a little would go a long way there!!!!! read more

great little greasy spoon burgers are amazing fries are excellent polish has great flavor only complaint i have is the bun is just a hotdog bun i prefer some kind of roll or french bread but otherwise this place is great read more

We got a Polish with everything on and gyros and food is still hot definitely recommended place this and is our second time here they have great food here definitely will be in the family back here read more

I love their chicken burgers really good they customize the veggies so u dont get everything they have

Gyros was terrible. Must of been heated in a microwave. It was scorching hot. 8.50 for sandwich and small drink plus no fries. I don't even think they spoke to me. Took my order gave me change and handed me food a word was said by them. read more

Just moved to the area and my wife discovers this gem last week. So I tried it yesterday. Best Italian beef around! They also have fresh cut fries which were really good. You get a lot of food for the price. We will definitely be coming back. read more

The 1 star is for the decent burger my daughter got. The lack of the other 4 stars should be totally obvious to anyone who even dares enter this dump. This place is filthy.......I mean filthy.........the floor looks like it hasn't been mopped in at least a year. If this is how they wish to show they want customers it is pathetic. I got the beef sandwich........cheese...... dipped........GROSS........uncooked meat..........I should have thrown it at them.......seriously..........the fries........disgusting brown overcooked CRAP PERIOD. I am amazed at the reviews this dump gets or the fact it is still open. read more

OK, they ARE expensive but...the Beef is WAY better than Portillos. I agree with previous posts to "get it dipped" with sweet peppers. Take away the Massive Wait/Chaos at Portillos drive thru and the extra couple of bucks is well worth it to me. I will definitely be returning!!! Maybe try the Cheeseburger next time. Goodbye Portillos! read more

I've dined here dozens of times and always find it OK. The only thing that I don't like are their hand cut fries. They give you a huge bag but are extremely greasy and soggy. I'd prefer if they cooked them longer. read more
