MORE LIKE MAX'S HELLI......

no way no how 9/3/2006

Never eat here. You think it's fresh... think again... the staff won't eat there. There are a lot of unclean things they do... things are pre-made for weeks and sit in a cooler. Want corned beef? go to Joe's Deli in River... Clean, always busy, great service and fresh, hot food. Want Cheesecake? Same place, Joe's Deli... family owned, family run and family friendly. No one there looks down their nose at you and IT'S CLEAN. Never eat from the deli... the Gnocci sits for weeks, take a pic of it and I swear the same, identical view will be there a week from the date you took it. The brown rice smells and I can assure you it's not because of the cabbage. Pros: nothing, unless it's bottled and sealed and not made there Cons: you name it... insect carcasses were on the floor at the back entrance more

Max's Deli was Great! 4/8/2003

I went with two of my teenage friends and we had a blast - not to mention the desserts that were to die for! I loved the chocolate raspberry cheesecake - yum yum!!! Their assortment of desserts was simply mouth-watering and it was hard just to choose one. I plan on getting my birthday cake from here because it was just so good I've got to go back for more! Pros: Excellent food, Wonderful atmosphere, Open late-12a on Sat. Cons: 1 toilet in bathrooms more

Desserts to die for 1/22/2003

I've been going to Max's Deli on and off for a number of years. The food is average deli food - nothing to write home about, but good nonetheless. They have a nice selection, including a number of vegetarian dishes. The desserts, however, are outstanding and are worth the hour drive from the East side. They make divine cheesecake, fruit tarts, keylime tarts, buckeyes, and various tortes. Definitely worth the trip, wherever you live! Pros: good parking, great desserts Cons: tables too close, average food more

OMG 1/16/2003

Who gives this deli a 10 rating!? Will never place foot in this establishment again! After years of going to this formerly outstanding restaurant, I can not believe that they have lowered their standards that are not acceptable to us anymore. They now serve SYSCO sweets that are truly attractive but ALL SUGAR! Save your time, travel down Detroit Road to Clifton Avenue to some real home-style desserts. Try Truffles. You will be amazed at the quality at Truffles. Pros: Inexpensive, Good Location, Curb-side Parking Cons: Poor Quality, Desserts TOO SWEET, Hot Soup Served Cold more

Down the Tubes Bigtime! 12/9/2002

It used to be pretty decent, but over the last 2 years it has really slipped. The worst factor is the waitstaff, most of whom are the ""Muffy and Buffy"" types of Rocky River. They couldn't get an order straight even if their lives depended on it. Then there is the food. One would expect decent potato pancakes in a deli, but theirs are like eating chewy particle board. Put this place out of its misery, and ours too. more

  • The Scene
    Sure, it's cute (abstract wall murals, sleek black furniture) and quirky, but the restaurant takes a lot of wear-and-tear from all its traffic. The service is slow, the ceiling...
