Max's Restaurant Congressional Branch — Restaurant in Quezon City

Dined here for meryenda. So sad that Max already turned into one Glorified karinderya! You're paying 50% for the brand and everything else is squeezed in the remaining 50. So dont expect to get your cravings satisfied and tummy full. For example, a Php225 ARROZ CALDO so you'll expect a good amount of lugaw and overload of toppings. Instead you'll get a half filled bowl of lugaw, lousy strips of chicken 1 chicken ball, 4 itsy spring roll and 2 thinly sliced egg🤣. No restaurant should be proud of it! Whoever re- conceptualized Max's Fried chicken should really get fired. Your menus dont even justify what you are famous for. Judging from what we ate... I don't even wanna dare try your chicken anymore. I'll leave it to my memory that you once were a great chicken house..... THAT'S HOW BAD THIS ICONIC...

During GCQ: I ordered the Grabfood delivery promo which includes 1 regular sized chicken, pancit canton and sizzling tofu. To my surprise the chicken is so small it's only half the size of the packaging. What happened? Serving size is not even worth the price of P999. So disappointed! I will never order another chicken from them again 👎👎👎

July 2025: I ordered through GrabFood, hoping that the quality of the food had improved now that the pandemic is over. Unfortunately, both the quality and quantity remained the same. The whole chicken is still smaller than before, and the Pork Sinigang is filled with pork fat. It’s not the same Max's that I used to love. This is really...

The guard at Max's Congressional doubles as a table cleaner and it's really unusual. But to expedite clients getting seated, he's really helpful! Max's still the best, but their take home service is not recommendable. There are missing parts on the order, and still missing parts on the take out. This seem to be a common practice, for a piece or two of cut chicken to be missing. Will remember to get WHOLE chicken next time. Max's should also refrain from using disposable plastic for the take out. Reusable wares is recommended instead. The take out packages looks pretty much the same as having take out from a CARINDERIA, and not fr an ICON in the industry...
