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.

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 - tender, juicy and crispy - and they came too! Max's Restaurant was born.


Over the years, Max's Restaurant's popularity grew and became known as "the house that fried chicken built". It has expanded in Metro Manila, Southern and Northern Luzon, Cebu and California, USA.


Looking towards the next millennium, Max's Restaurant has established itself as a household name, 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 Restaurants..


Today Max's Restaurant has opened a window of business opportunity for dynamic individuals interested and willing to invest in the long standing tradition of quality which only a Max's Restaurant can offer. It opened its doors to franchising for the first time in the second quarter of 1998. This is the opportunity to join the thriving food service industry in the Philippines.

My P.O.V.


Walang kabigin ang chicken sa Max's.. Talagang sarap to the bones!


Very homey ang ambience, servers are nice and dedicated, foods (though bit pricey) are uber delicious..


Formal yet affordable as compared to other fine dine resto..


They recently launched value meals (php 99) for those on a budget but the quality of food remains.


They also have bake shop where they sell the softest cake roll I've ever tasted at an affordable price.


Whenever I dine at Max's, I never fail to concoct my fave sawsawan - a mix of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce.
