Max's Restaurant Chicago, Cuisine of the Philippines

“2025-September If you’re craving delicious Filipino food, this is the place.”

2025-September If you’re craving delicious Filipino food, this is the place! Plenty of parking and a clean, welcoming space (even the women’s restroom has two stalls—small detail, but appreciated!). The food was absolutely amazing, and the halo-halo dessert? It’s HUMONGOUS—seriously, it could feed 10 people and still have leftovers. 🍧 The waitresses were so polite and made us feel right at home. Come hungry and bring friends—you’ll need them to help tackle that dessert! Highly recommended!

“This was the second time there and I thought I had a review previously but I don’t.”

This was the second time there and I thought I had a review previously but I don’t. So this place is amazing with Filipino cuisine and being Puerto Rican some of the dishes I am familiar with like the beef steak. I had chosen that with garlic fried rice and it was delicious. My wife and her kids order sisig , crispy pata, pancit, pork bbq and beef soup. It was the best. Definitely recommend going.

“Great authentic Filipino food.”

Great authentic Filipino food! Max’s never disappoints. Max’s Fried chicken is simple yet satisfying! Sweet Potato fries were so good! The Filipino bbq skewers, you get 4 that had plenty of delicious meat enough to share. Crispy Pata was good! Also plenty of drinks and desserts!

We had a lovely Pinoy evening at the Chicago Max. We feasted on Lumpia Shanghai, Pancit, Fried Chicken, Liempo and BBQ Skewers. Super friendly service! Big call out to Gina who took great care of us. Great place for Pinoy gatherings.

Although the Max Fried Chicken didn't taste like the one I'm used to at their restaurant in Cebu, Philippines, it was still good. It was a little bit dry, but overall, it was satisfying. The Family Fiesta bilao was well worth the price because you get to try almost everything that they offer at the restaurant. The family size halo-halo was huge! Really HUGE! If you are a family of 4, you can't finish it. The experience was great! All the food in the family fiesta bilao tasted authentic.

Everything sounded so delicious it was hard to choose what to order and, as expected, the flavors did not disappoint! We especially enjoyed the crispiness of the chiken and lechon but the kare kare was especially good. For dessert we ordered halo-halo and it was enormous! So refreshing. Whether it's your first time trying a Filipino dish or the millionth, anyone would enjoy their time at Max's.

“We had an absolute feast when we visited Max's RestaurantChicago Bring your appetite.”

We had an absolute feast when we visited Max's RestaurantChicago Bring your appetite. Allow your taste buds to be transported to an exotic land where food is plenty and shared with friends and family The drinks will transport you to the tropics. The food's arrival will confirm that you're no longer in your average neighborhood restaurant. For our drinks, we had the Mango and Calamansi (Philippine Lime). These were actually like slushies, the Calamansi was citrusy but sweet. Both were very refreshing and delicious. We started with the Calamari appetizer, which was fresh, tasty, and more than enough for two. We then ordered the Fiesta Platter (available on weekdays and dine in only). We couldn't believe our eyes at the size of it. It easily feeds 4 or 5. The Fiesta Platter consists of: Crispy Pata Chicken Inasal Inihaw Na Liempo Lumpiang Shanghai Daing Na Bangus Grilled Eggplant Pancit Bihon Garlic Rice Everything is cooked well done and crispy. Just the way we like it. For dessert, we ordered the Halo-Halo, which consists of: Macapuno (Coconut meat) Milk Gulaman (gelatin) Beans Shaved Ice Ube Paste Leche Flan Ube Ice Cream Rice Crispies Jack Fruit Banana You mix up or shake the ingredients before digging in. Such a delicious end to our meal. This could easily feed four as well. Service from our waitress, Jeanna, was excellent. The restaurant is clean and inviting. They are right next to Seafood City, so there is plenty of parking. Bring your loved one, bring your family, and bring your friends! Enjoy a memorable feast of Philipino food at Max's Restaurant Chicago
