This place is amazing my family and I frequent it at least ounce a week. Beer is always cold. Food is always good. And service is on point. Highly recommend this place
The food is still tasty! The service was friendly and knowledgeable and the ambiance was casual and laid back. It's a really nice place to enjoy lunch/dinner with your friends and family. The food was fresh and hot. There was a good portion to keep you full for the next two days.
After choosing Dillinger's across the street over Max Bratwurst one time to many (those wings, IYKYK), I finally made it a point to enjoy the outdoor seating here on one of the first nice days this spring and am so, so happy that I did. We started off strong with a free check-in beer (thanks, Yelp!) a light and refreshing Gaffel Kolsch blonde ale. My go-to is usually a Radeberger or Hofbrau for German beers, but I liked this so much I stuck with it and ordered a larger version. The prices here are more than reasonable. I was shocked that we ate like kings and only owed $20 each plus tip at the end of our meal after having two beers each, a huge order of fries, a pretzel with cheese and an order of potato pancakes, which were perfectly crispy and so delicious. Service was prompt and friendly, even though we were seated kind of deep along the outside of the restaurant our server made sure we were well taken care of. As far as ambiance goes, this has to be one of the best outdoor seating options in the area. The string lights really make it feel magical at light, and we were well positioned to see the bright pink sky since we came around sunset. Would definitely recommend this spot for a date night, super romantic and fun!
This is a good German restaurant with some authentic dishes! The staff is a bit hit or miss, but when they're on, it's a good time to it's a bit small, so it's not great for large parties, but they can accommodate most groups. There is a great beer selection and plenty of home-cooked German favorites. Come on a nice day and sit outside and take it all in!
I came in last night craving their German mac & cheese. I did arrive 15mins before the kitchen would have closed( I am the type of person that when I realize things of that nature I tend to want to bow out, I hate being that person) the host was very accommodating and told me multiple times it's fine, I just couldn't meander the menu to long. The food was great, like it always has been. It was a Wednesday night so the vibe was quiet and easy. The chicken cutlet was the size of my face and hot! No complaints 10/10
Visited on weekday evening. The space is pretty casual and trendy. Loved all the interior. Very well designed. They have both outdoor and indoor seating. At the time, they had windows and doors opened. There are plenty of street parking spaces and electric car charger stations. There aren't too many covered garage around this place. Public transit is a bit difficult but accessible. Foods were great! Pork jock was well cooked. Very tender and flavorful. It has a steep price, but for authentic German in the state, I think the price is reasonable for the quality. Similar to what I had over trip (sorry for natives) Good beer selections. I tried multiple. The servers are very good at checking on you. They won't really push. Overall, very pleasant visit. Pretty divey restaurant.
Let me start by saying the food was absolutely outstanding. I was reading the website and saw the Mac and cheese was their best, so I luckily put in an order before the food came. One of the best Mac and cheeses I've had with a super interesting pasta shape. The curry wurst was amazing so flavorful and perfectly balanced. The restaurant felt like a beer house straight out of Germany. My friend even noticed the trademarked chairs of a beer house they went to in Germany! The whole vibe was spot on and perfect. TLDR ORDER THE MAC AND CHEESE
Can't go wrong at Max's with Delicious beer and food, and excellent service! We started with the Brotzeitteller which was so yummy - definitely don't skip this one on your order! I had the Wurstplatte with sides of Kasespatzle and the GurkenSalat. I was very pleased with mg dish the sides complimented the sausages perfectly. My boyfriend had the Schnitzel (pork) topped with the creamy mushroom sauce (see pics), and sides of fries and sauerkraut. The schnitzel alone was delish and cooked to perfection. We made the error of adding the mushroom sauce topping - unfortunately, it was excessively salty and we had to remove it from the schnitzel. Otherwise we had a wonderful and filling dining experience and can't wait to return! Good eats and cheers!
In a quiet neighborhood in Astoria, sits a surprisingly great German Restaurant! I have to say, the staff at Max Bratwurst Und Bier are among the friendliest I've ever encountered. Our group of 10 went to celebrate Oktoberfest, and we were ALL allowed the Yelp Check-in perk of a Free .2 Lt Beer (Gaffel Koelsch), which was pretty good! Service & hospitality were wonderful. Knowing this would be a heavy meal, we came hungry, and left super stuffed, with lots of leftovers. The portion sizes were enormous! Great for sharing. Below is our shared menu (shared by 5 ppl): -- Oktoberfest-Style Giant Pretzel w. cheese spread ($12): the pretzel was indeed giant; served with slices of raw onion and 2 different kinds of mustard. The cheese spread was fantastic and went well with the pretzel. (If you don't like cheese, you can also order just the pretzel, without the cheese spread for $9). This giant pretzel was served warm and was delicious. -- Potato Pancakes (3 large pcs/$9): these potato pancakes came with a side of apple sauce and sour cream. They were large and a feast for the eyes; however, we found them quite disappointing. They were nicely crispy but lacked seasoning; you couldn't really taste the potatoes. Surprisingly disappointing. -- Chicken Schnitzel ($19): came with your choice for 2 sides. We chose a double order of "German Mac n Cheese", aka Spaetzel, which was fantastic! The chicken schnitzel was nicely crispy but again, a little bland. Next time, we'd order this with the creamy mushroom sauce for an extra $3. I think the sauce would have made a world of difference. -- Max Combo Platter ($66): This was the highlight of our meal! This platter can easily feed 5-6 ppl, depending on whether or not you also order appetizers. 5 of us shared this platter and had plenty of leftovers to take home. This platter had a sampling of 9 different sausages/brats and your choice of either pork or chicken schnitzel; all served on top of a platter full of home fries, sauerkraut and red cabbage. There were even 2 fried eggs on top of one of the sausages. (See my photos of the platter). Fantastic platter and a must have if dining with a group. All the sausages & brats were distinctive and delicious! Needless to say, we had no room for dessert! Haha Big thanks to Max Bratwurst und Bier for a great experience. We shall be back!
