Max's Restaurant — Restaurant in Marilao

Max's Restaurant's beginnings started in 1945, after World War II. Maximo Gimenez, a Stanford-educated teacher, befriended the American occupation troops stationed at Quezon City. Because of this friendship, the soldiers regularly visited Maximo's nearby home for a drink or two. Later on, the troops insisted that they pay for their drinks. This prompted Maximo to open a cafe, where the troops could enjoy food and drinks.[1] It opened its first restaurant at 21 South F Street (now Scout Tuason), Brgy. Laging Handa, Quezon City.

The cafe initially served chicken, steak and drinks. Maximo's niece, Ruby, who managed the kitchen, created a special recipe for chicken that became an instant favorite for the GIs. Soon, the Filipino public heard about the delicious chicken recipe and thus they came to the small restaurant and Max's Restaurant was born.

Over the years, Max's Restaurant's popularity grew and it became known as "the house that fried chicken built." It has expanded in Metro Manila, Southern and Northern Luzon, Cebu, and to California and other places in the United States. It has also expanded to Canada with plans of opening restaurants to other countries.

Max's Restaurant has established itself as a household name in the Philippines, an institution, and a proud Filipino tradition. The second and third generations of the family continue to zealously uphold the standards and traditions set by Maximo and Ruby for all Max's...

One of the best places to dine in when craving for Pinoy food. Got lucky to get a table during a weekend dinner time. We had pork sinigang, chopsuey, lumpia shanghai, tofu sisig and the infamous fried chicken (sarap to the bones),. They were all served warm within a waiting time of 15 mins but I noticed that the portions are smaller than before.

This restaurant also serves iced or warm water so it saves money to order for drinks too. Will still be dining here on my next vacay...

Buko - pandan... It should have buko or coconut meat at least. Now, here, they only have one strip of buko and that's it. Though I always love their pansit canton, I was disappointed with my dessert. And... They got our plates while we are still chilling after checking out. Hayz... Anyway, it is still Max's that we are talking about so the ambiance is just fair enough for families. The customer service is reasonably good but. You just feel that they are doing...
