What an amazing meal and great service! I had the Bavarian pretzels to start and then the Weiner Schnitzel with potato pancakes and homemade applesauce. The Pilsner on tap was PERFECT with the meal!!!

Friendly service and delicious German food. I recommend the Sampler Platter so you can try a few different things, but beware the portions are huge:-)

The best potato pancakes Pittsburgh. German food that costs $10 or so a meal. They have local beers, and a cheap happy hour. Have a slice of bread with apple butter before your meal. Read more

Great german food. Friendly people. Nice selection of german draughts. A 6 minute walk from AGH ( I suggest only walking during daylight).

Sausage and cheese appetizer is amazing. It comes with honey mustard that is to die for. The apple butter is incredible. The big disappointment was the entree. Bland and the worst spatzle I've had.

The food. The beer. The atmosphere. It's so worth the visit. Come to Max's!

I loved the waitstaff, the environment, & even the appetizer (sausage & cheese w/ honey mustard). The disappoint was with the spatzle. Wow... It's bad. The German potato salad was only okay. B+

Was very disappointed on a recent trip here. Brought family from NC and chose to eat here in honor of my Austrian mother who passed in July, only to be told they were all out of Wiener schnitzel.

No matter what you get, make sure to get a side of their mind-blowing honey mustard
