Editorial Review for Max & Erma's – by Terry Ward Libby

The Scene
Max and Erma's fern bar-style chain launched back in the '70s, but its German Village location is the original hangout, once owned and run by the real Max and Erma. This street corner saloon retains a certain amount of its funky charm, despite corporate attempts to "decorate." Quite a few regulars from the old days still haunt the place, and lively crowds gather on the weekends.

The Food

The menu has gone corporate, but the big, sloppy burgers are still scrumptious. All come with an extensive choice of toppings, and the meat is moist and rich. The "Garbage Burger," one of the restaurant's specialities, has enough toppings to outweigh the burger beneath. Cheese and bacon-stuffed potato skins are popular bar food, while rib aficionados take the barbecue seriously.
