The pickled herring was very good and who doesn't love a hot pretzel! I got the regular reuben with the potato pancakes and spatzel. Wow, it was heavy but tasty. I do enjoy my potato pancakes with a little more texture but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! <br />Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253946128699532485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008070995950108794.post-5787312474461011072013-03-03T09:06:18.786-08:002013-03-03T09:06:18.786-08:00Max's is a Pittsburgh Tradition--The place has...Max's is a Pittsburgh Tradition--The place hasn't changed in years and that is part of the charm. The beer selection had something for everyone. I did order the pickled herring as I wanted to be adventurous. It was surprisingly good and was my favorite appetizer. I had the sauerbraten with sides of hot german potato salad and applesauce. Skip the applesauce but the potato salad was excellent. I enjoyed my meal.

I had the Turkey Reuben which used two potato pancakes instead of rye bread - very good! The potato pancakes tended to have more "filler" than shredded potatoes so they were a bit heavy - but still good. We shared a few appetizers - the Bavarian stuffed pretzel, the sausage and cheese and the pickled herring. I was not brave enough to try the herring but the other two were a big hit.Adriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134754523687965462noreply@blogger.com
