Wendy ChanceMarch 30, 2014Ask to be seated in Lindsay's , MJ's, or Austin's section. And Victor is always there to make sure you always have everything you need. The food at brunch always great. My favorite? Too many to list!
Divya MulanjurMarch 16, 2015Order the southern fried chicken. You can have them split your dish in case you want to share for $2. The fried egg sandwich is also delicious. Complete this scrumptious brunch with bubbles!
Go with no more than two other people, sit at the bar, and do tastings and learn with Matt. He is fantastic. Then buy bottles of the wine you loved at retail.
Sofie JohnsonDecember 16, 2014Best damn truffle Mac n cheese I've ever had. They let me get a half order too, which, with the awesome arugula pear salad I had, was the perfect amount!
Austin ChronicleFebruary 15, 2013One might question their definition of “dive,” but here’s what this ATX outpost indisputably offers up: an urban/industrial/aggressively "hip" space, legit fried chicken, and a superior brunch option. Read more
Amanda McNeilMay 20, 2015$5 wine list available during happy hour. Servers are happy to help you find a glass of wine that matches both your taste and price range at any time.
Visit AustinMarch 13, 2015Max’s has to be the only place in town where you can get amazing wine and tasty fried chicken. The restaurant and wine bar offers an expansive food menu and they’re open for lunch! Read more
Loreal RobertsonSeptember 6, 2014Order the chicken and waffles but honestly you don't need the waffles because the chicken is good. The waffle has orange zest so be careful if you are allergic.
Get the fried chicken, if only a piece on the side! So freakin' delicious. And the fried egg sandwich for brunch is a must!
Amie WymanJuly 22, 2013The jar of hummus with pita triangles was amazing! I also had the burger which was good, but a little over-charred on the outside. Overall I would definitely go back.- The Tastes that Make the CityMarch 2, 2015The famous southern fried chicken and waffles is the best southern food in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Austin.

Cooking ChannelFebruary 28, 2012Competitively priced wines, mouth-wateringly good fried foods & a motto that reads: "Fried Chicken & Champagne After Midnight-Why the Hell Not?" Get Pan Borracho, Fried Chicken and Alligator Beignets.
TonyDecember 25, 2014Can't beat the grilled cheese and tomato soup combo after a great night out. This place is great for late nights.
Helen LevinsonMarch 11, 2013Awesome restaurant with an eclectic menu! Try the Pork Stuffed Piquillo Peppers, Bone Marrow Popcorn, Max n' Cheese and Green Chili Hummus!
Kathy "kappaluppa" ChavezJune 6, 2014Ben at the bar is a wonderful server! Thanks Ben! Food was great. The underground was a fantastic venue for our event.
Dean LoganMarch 12, 2014Great post-session atmosphere. Awesome wine selection and some great beers too. Not a wino? Get a Fireman's No. 4
Jennifer BooneAugust 23, 2014Great service and friendly staff. Sit at the bar and watch the food come out.
LEGIT! Don't let the name or the decor fool you. This place has some of the best food around. If you crave comfort food, Max's is the place to be.
Kirk WylieDecember 6, 2017The gluten free fried chicken is so good you should book a flight to Austin just to eat it.- Jennifer Van GroveMarch 12, 2013The vegan Max 'n Cheese is unbelievably amazing. They use cashews to make the cheese flavor. Order it and thank me later.
Jennika JohnsonMay 19, 2013Try the grapefruit mimosa! Delicious alternative to orange juice! AND chef Erica is an expert at her craft! Beautiful!
Kurt WeisenbergerJuly 28, 2013Ask about the brunch specials. Chicken fried pork chop with jalapeño gravy and grits and a fried egg is excellent.
Rich GrahamApril 23, 2013Chicken and Waffles is weird and tasty! Jalapeño Grits w Pulled Pork topped with a fried egg is damn excellent too
Francoise BejasaApril 22, 2014They give you a wine tasting option till you find the one you actually like! I love the antelope, too!
Alesia GitterMarch 31, 2013Ask for Lindsey! She's fantastic. Great service. Food was slow but it's so gooooood you forget about the wait. Also mamosas!
AbbyLove PhotographyMarch 17, 2012Their Famous Fried Shicken...it's not bad. Personally, I like a kick in the mouth when it comes to flavor. Good vibes, good wine, good beer. ^.^
Nothing like hanging with great long time friends for Sunday Brunch! And get the poppy seed pancakes with lavender maple syrup, or the smoked salmon and cream cheese omelet!
Jenn MicheleSeptember 29, 2015Pulled pork stuffed pequillo peppers. Soooo good! Great wine list too.
ScottMay 5, 2012I don't do bones in my chicken and they hooked me up!! Staff was incredible!! Server recommended several great wines, prices were very pleasant !!!
Mac with the fried chicken topper gets you the best of both of their dishes in one bowl!- CoachDeb ColeMarch 17, 2012Get the Fried Egg sandwich - but share it with a friend. It's HUGE & Oh-Soooo-Delicious!!!
Brook ShelleyDecember 9, 2017Pretty decent mashed potatoes, and good chicken, but the wait was absurd.
Greg HardinApril 19, 2011Though max's is a far cry from what I'd call a dive, it has a nice atmosphere. Great lunch menu! Nice beer selection & great wine.
Steve FaddenDecember 10, 2012Try the Blue Corn Pancakes - Delicious! Side of crispy bacon rounds out the meal!- The Daily MealJune 23, 2011Any one of their 100-plus bottles is available by the glass, and be sure to check in later at night for their "reverse happy hour." Read more
@rynamiteMarch 15, 2012Lamb Burger or Kobe Burger. Bison Sliders. Fried Green Tomatoes. Chips. Love this place @rynomite
ThomasAugust 18, 2012If u like firemans #4 then u gotta try the devils backbone brewed in blanco tx too
M-D NovemberMarch 12, 2013The fried egg sandwich is HUGE; ask your server for a half sandwich if you're not extremely hungry.
The Mac n Cheese = to die for! Fling caution to the wind and indulge!
