We’ve been to Max Bratwurst before but it had been a while. On this particular night, after leaving a restaurant in Manhattan without eating due to awful, arrogant service (check my other reviews if you’re curious), Max came through to salvage the night. It’s unpretentious, the service is welcoming, the food is tasty and inexpensive, and the beers are good. It’s always a strong go-to.

Looking for a taste of Germany? You will find it here in Astoria, Queens. We started with a soft salty pretzel accompanied with Obatzda …. a Bavarian cheese spread. That cheese spread, topped with a slice of red onion and a chunk of made for a perfect bite.
My entree was a crispy, golden pork schnitzel with a creamy mushroom gravy. Paired perfectly with roasted potatoes and bacon – comfort food at its finest. The creamy dill cucumber salad was a refreshing, sweet delight! Friends bratwurst, potatoes and sauerkraut are classic German fare.
Dessert for me was a refreshing Heisse Liebe-vanilla ice cream with hot raspberry sauce. The ideal light dessert to end a hearty meal.
My friend finished with a moist apple strudel that she declared was out of this world. And she should know as she lived in Germany for a year .
It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. The staff was really friendly and helpful with beer options. We sat in the heated outdoor enclosed area where we were very comfortable. During warmer weather they have a lots of outdoor seating.

I visited here late afternoon on Sat 28 September whilst on vacation from Liverpool (UK). The staff are nice and there was a good atmosphere during both my visits here. (I came back the following Saturday. That's a long story.) The German Hofbräu beer here is lovely, and so too is the food. I had the Klassiche Bratwurst, Pommes Frites, and Munchner Kartoffelsalat. I actually ordered too much because the food is so reasonably priced. I hardly touched the potato salad. That meant that I couldn't order the Apfelstrudel that I was looking forward to. This is a great place. If I lived in the neighbourhood, I would visit here regularly.

Not what it used to be. Service is significantly slower and the food has gone down. Used to be a favorite local haunt.

Always good food and beer here! No matter if you’re alone or with someone, it is a great place to have a beer and/or some food or snack(the pretzel is delicious).
Food arrived after an hour of waiting. Not sure if it's because they're lacking man power or if there's just many customers at that time. But I enjoyed the food

I'm not a big fan of German food, but my friends love it here. The 10 oz burgers are truly delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. It's a lively place, especially on weekends, and there's great outdoor seating. The waiters are friendly and provide great service. Good food, good service, and great atmosphere.
Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the ground floor so there's no barriers for wheelchairs.

Max has been a great spot for years, used for come here for often and the best burger I’ve tried that they have is the Austrian. Absolutely amazing and great flavor, the service is good too. Would recommend.
