""Max's is my default delivery meal in SF. I only eat poultry (no other meat/fish), and there are a lot of good choices for me. Matzoh ball soup is delicious and turkey reuben (""rachel"") is a great splurge when you're happy to throw calories to the wind. My only negative comment is that ""Guy's Chinese Chicken Salad"", which used to be great, is now inedible -- usually burned & greasy chicken that I've had to throw away (and then not much else on the salad to eat!) Max's: Fix that one thing and you'll be perfect again!""

"I got the French Dip with potato salad (with a side of horse radish) and dill pickel. I ate half of it with the au jus and one container of the potato salad. My son came in and ate the entire rest of it. We all agreed it was totally delish"
