Max’s Laws™

“We Reserve the Right to......

1. run the restaurant for the enjoyment and pleasure of our customers, not the convenience of the staff or the owners.
2. enjoy the taste that fat adds to corned beef and pastrami. If you want something lean, how about our turkey.
3. hate soggy fries. If yours aren’t crisp, the way you like them, send them back, maybe the kitchen will get the message.
4. brew fresh iced tea table side. Let it steep a little for the perfect iced tea.
   fly our hot fudge in from NY. It’s a point of pride and made by Dr. Keller, a certified chocoholic who refuses
5. therapy. It is simply the best in the country, and we don't boast idly. Just ask him!!
   keep your table clean and organized throughout the meal. If you would like to dip your dessert in ketchup,
6. let us know, we’ll leave the plates on the table.
7. agree that the customer is almost always right. If there is a problem with your food or service, call for the manager, we’ll fix it in a flash. But, if you finish your plate, it couldn’t have been all that bad! Now, could it?

“EAT, DARLING, EAT”

1. This is a bad place for a dietsm and a good place for a diet, any kind of diet!
2. You’ll love our breads and pastries. They are made fresh daily in Max’s Bakery and Kitchen.
3. Warning: We bake our own breads crusty as can be. If you like soft bread, eat the middle.
4. Our desserts are excessive because nothing succeeds like excess. We encourage sharing. If you're not super hungry or on a diet, eat a half-slice.
5. We use cholesterol-free AND trans-fat free oil for frying.
6. When we say locarb, we mean it. Especially the desserts.
7. Careful with the Reubens, they’re known to drip.
8. For 25 years we’ve been serving big portions, just the way you like ‘em. You’ll never walk away hungry!

“HAVE A DRINK ON ME”

1. If we break the following laws, we’ll buy you a round of drinks
   (We’ll match what’s on the table. If you’re drinking water, don’t expect a Maxarita.)
2. If you are a single diner and are greeted with the expression, “Just one?”
3. If anyone of our staff asks, “Is everything all right?” When we ask questions, they’ll be good ones.
4. If you spot a food critic.
5. SERVICE...A PIECE OF CAKE?
6. We take our laws seriously, if we break the following, we'll buy a piece of Niagara Falls Cake for the table
7. Our service staff will promptly check back within 4 minutes after your main course is served to ensure that you have everything that you need, and love what you're eating.
8. You must get your mustard and ketchup before your burger, sandwich or fries.
9. If we use the expressions, "Hey guys" or, "Are you guys ready to order." Don’t you hate that?
