Max and Erma's

I am going to Max and Emra's next week with a group and wondering what I should order? I havent been in about 15 or so years to one so I have no ideal on what people like. Any Help, pLEASE?

    I work near one of these, an old location that's been there forever. Agree with Tortilla soup. That's always pretty good. Eh. It's pretty so-so, though, most of it. Some of it seemed to get worse over the years. Like the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, used to be good but appeared to be a shadow of its former self the last time I saw one. Burgers are decent, I suppose, yeah. Cookies that they serve right out of the oven are, well, it's a warm cookie! What more do you want? ;-) They're pretty good. Order it with your food and they'll be ready for dessert time.

      I haven't been to one in a long time but I remember dining at one in the Bay area (Richmond perhaps... ) and it was asparagus season and they had about five different specials that included asparagus. So I would suggest you also look to see what specials they have.

        You sure that was this joint? These guys are based out of Columbus, Ohio. I didn't think this chain ever expanded that far. Although then again they did have some clueless ownership and bankruptcy and stuff so perhaps I'm mistaken....

      The burgers are among the best of any chain. Their chicken tortilla soup is also really good.
