I was already thirty-something the first time i tried Max's Restaurant. And i have been many times since and i must say that they are among the most consistently good restaurant in terms of food quality, service, satiety level, and overall dining experience! And the Iligan store at Robinson's mall is that Restaurant. Way back when i was a child, we lived in the province and i have fond memories of Max's restaurant and how good their food was. But that was only limited to the vintage TV commercials that i saw and newspaper ad. And i could only imagine that it must be really good. When the family gathers together, and on special occasions, we always go to eat at Max's because we always know that we will not be disappointed! Of course, the Chicken. Well, it is not the best in the planet but you will always love it. Their crispy pata is like the pork version! Woohoo! Seafood kare2x and the regular kare2x is a must try. Sinigang, fried bangus, and most items on the menu are all tasty renditions and aaaall their desserts no kidding, are awesome, refreshing, and pleasing to look at. I would especially like to mention that the staff at the iligan store are best! In all of our visits, we are always accommodated and seated immediately, our orders by fone or in-store came in on time, accurately, hot and fresh, and delicious! And there's always somebody around to attend to our other needs like refills and add ons. Even after eating, they would offer to wrap our scraps as "take aways" for our dog-family members waiting at home. So 5 stars for the staff. The restaurant itself is clean and seating is not cramped and noisy. Also worth mentioning, when my daughter Dani graduated, we ate here and since that was graduation month, i didn't have any problems with booking and waiting, everything went smooth even though we were a big group, it didn't felt like a super busy time at all! Thanks to the staff! Eating at Max's is time and money well spent. Often, the family would spend a couple hours enjoying a good...
   Read moreI recently visited this restaurant for breakfast, and while the food was good, there were a few issues that impacted my experience.
First, be cautious when entering or exiting, as there's an unmarked step that could easily cause someone to trip or injure themselvesâno warning signs in sight. It definitely made me a bit nervous about the safety of the place.
When it came time to order, I asked for coffee, and the supervisor (who I found out later was in charge) didnât inform me that coffee was included with the breakfast. Instead, she attempted to charge me separately, claiming âI already punched itâ into the system. I had to insist that she figure out how to cancel the order and correct the mistake, which, frankly, drained my appetite before we could proceed. It wasnât the best way to start a meal.
On a positive note, the food itself was actually quite good. I liked the menu selection and enjoyed what I ordered, but the service and safety concerns definitely left a bad taste...
   Read moreFirst time to try Max Restaurant in Iligan because we stayed in Go Hotel for 15days. We only dine for Breakfast.
â˘At first few days staff are very polite and friendly. â˘Food taste is neutral and serving with big portions. â˘They only have 4 option for set menu for brekfast (only for Go Hotel Guest those who avail BB), i wont recommend to avail the bfast if u will stay more than 4 days. But you can order in their Ala Carte Menu if you want another option, but in your own expense. â˘Later on that days - they sudden change the options for beverage. (no reason disclosed) â˘After more than a week, staff treat us different way. (we just assumed they already feed up seeing us everyday) đ â˘Inconsistent service indeed. â˘But overall we don't have complaint about food - we hope that they will add more option for breakfast especially for long term guest...
