Max's Allegheny Tavern

I got the sauerbraten and it was pretty delish! This was my first time at Max's and it lived up to the hype - if you like German food and beer, this is the place to go!

We flew in from three different cities to celebrate my birthday. We went to Max's for lunch. Jan was our server and she was fantastic!! Several people joined our party and she kept up with everything. The food was delicious, the service was great, and I will definitely eat here again my next trip to Pittsburgh!

Great atmosphere and a whole lot more. Many items on the menu with reasonable prices. Great old decor and woodwork throughout. The potatoe pancake Reuben was very good! Will visit again to try more Great food

Great food! Terrible service. We won’t be back. I used to come to Max’s often before Covid. They used to have great service, even happy hour. Neither of those things exist anymore. Tonight I went back to try their Mardi Gras specials they posted about on Facebook, we got the Cajun shrimp dip which was amazing! Probably one of the best dips I’ve ever had!! Also the Reuben’s which are always delicious. I was so disappointed in the service. I’ve actually never been more disappointed in a server in my life and I have served at many restaurants. Since the moment we sat down at 615 pm we felt rushed. At no point did they say they were closing early, there was no sign on the door or anything so to me there was no reason for her to rush us. I was meeting an old friend and wanted to have drinks, conversation for a few hours. Not once did our server offer us a drink refill, a water or anything. Not once. We sat for the first ten minutes with no drink, ordered our drink and told her we were ready to order food. She said she would be right back, she was busy (there was only one other table) and we waited another 15 minutes to order, which means we waited 25 minutes for a drink, again with no waters brought to us when we sat down. I told her when I ordered I was also going to be taking a dinner Togo before we leave for my boyfriend at home. She brought our food, I told her I’m ready to place my Togo order and she says “oh no sorry the kitchens closed” and proceeds to walk away! This was 745 pm. I immediately explained no, i need my food. I told you I was ordering Togo food so you knew I was going to order more. I need my Togo order. She, very arguably, left to go “ask the kitchen if they can accommodate.” 😒 She made me feel like a burden. The entire time we were sitting down. We were planning on hanging out for hours. We never got water. We never got asked if we wanted to order another drink. 8 pm comes around, she brings me my Togo order and our checks, without even asking if we were ready or wanted anything else. The website, google all say they are open untill 10pm. No one said they were closing at 8. Even if they were, they should of told us that, and we also shouldn’t feel like an inconvenience if we come in well before closing. We should of gone somewhere else, but my friend insisted we stay, but I believe we would of had a better experience anywhere. We did not feel welcome here at all. We won’t be back, which sucks because the food was great.
