“One of the Top 101 Places to eat - Best place for a business lunch” – Atlanta Business Chronicle
“Max has that industrial chic feel, lots of exposed brick...The salads, sandwiches, specialty pizzas, and burgers are killer." – Atlanta Magazine
Max Lager's was one of the first restaurants to bring the fresh and natural wood-fired menu concept to Atlanta. The art of cooking with wood enhances the Max Lager's experience with bold flavors simply not found with alternative cooking methods. We feel that the investment made in the wood-fired grill is an investment that pays great dividends to our guests.
All Max Lager's menu items are prepared daily from scratch. Wood-fired steaks, burgers, seafood, ribs, and pizza are Max Lager's signature items. An inspired selection of entrée salads and pastas add variety to the American menu.
A sampling of our Lunch and Dinner Offerings include the following, with availability based upon the time of day. All of our menu items are made fresh daily from scratch, and therefore subject to change and availability.
