We have ordered Max's Famous Reuben,(but with turkey, not to be confused with the turkey Reuben) with hot German potato salad, North Side Ham and Swiss with potato pancakes, Allegheny Club with onion rings, Maxburger with fries, and apple strudel. So when you go to Max's and consistently get all of the above, it makes for happiness. Why? Because the food is DELICIOUS! And, reasonably priced! And terrific service! All of this used to be what most expected when dining out, but not anymore. This is the second time we have been here in two weeks. Where people were eating and talking an laughing out loud ,instead of the silence at tables when people are on their phones. So when my friends and I were in the neighborhood of Max's Allegheny Tavern and decided to do lunch there, we were transported to a time when things were simple and right and good. Just trying to maneuver doing ordinary stuff has suddenly become complicated. Our world, as it is nowadays, is exhausting. I suppose that's less of a criticism and more a thing to know before you go. However if it's cold outside or raining definitely bring a good coat or umbrella. It's not that far, so if it's a nice day it's not a big deal. The only critique I have for them is that they're located at the end of a strip of a bunch of restaurants and they're the furthest from the garage. Also, the view of the city and the river is great. The service is kind and responsive but not in your face all the time. Their drinks are just as good as their food.

However there is also an excellent duck on the menu which I highly recommend. If I tried to make something like this at home I'm sure it would take hours. Is this place expensive? Yes, but they work for that money.

This is a fantastic place to go if you're looking for something extra special for a date night or special family occasion.
